Festive Fundraising Dinner for Religious Education Program

Led by Mrs. Michelle Metelski, Coordinator of Religious Education, and Mr. Connie Venditti, Trustee, several catechists and parishioners (see picture) prepared lovingly a tasty treat for benefactors staying after the Vigil Mass on October 23 or donors lining up for take-out meals at Sacred Heart Church.  The Italian meal was complemented with brownies made by the two women's groups of our parish.  

"The Spaghetti Dinner tonight brought parishioners from both churches together for the sake of our children and youths whilst funds were raised for the Religious Education program," commented Fr. Arthur Rojas, administrator of Presentation-Sacred Heart Parish.  In light of the goodness of so many people involved along with the evident camaraderie, there may be time and opportunity for another such occasion.  Although the accounting is not yet finalized, it appears that the fundraising goal for this event was met or will be closely approximated.  In addition to funds raised by the dinner tonight, on an ongoing basis donations are accepted most gratefully to defray the costs of our Religious Education program.  For more information, kindly contact Fr. Rojas or Mrs. Metelski at 845/384-6828 or at presentationsacredheart@presentationsacredheart.org .
