This weekend we begin setting up the campus for our picnic on Saturday morning at 7 a.m.  All are welcome to come help out, it would be greatly appreciated As the week progresses, the lot and campus will become increasing difficult to navigate. Please park in the PLC/Preschool area if you need to visit or on a nearby street. Be careful as you walk the campus. Thank you!

Please don’t forget about set-up and tear-down the picnic. If you can’t work at the weekend for some reason or another, we can surely use a lot of help the entire week before and on Sunday night after the picnic has ended. We will start on Saturday May 31st at 7:00am setting up the Fish Tank and moving supplies to the school breezeway from the picnic barn. Then we will be working all week from 6:00am to 3:00pm. Monday and Tuesday are our biggest workload days of the week. Please try to help on those 2 days or all if possible. Lunch will be provided for all volunteers on those days. Believe it or not but what goes up……must come down and we need all volunteers to be available for teardown on Sunday night starting immediately after the picnic ends at 7:00pm. Please consider helping when and wherever you can. Thank you in advance.

Our Music line up for this year is exciting and ready to put on a variety of music genres!

We will be having dinners on all 3 days again.

*Come out and plan to have one of your favorite meals or all three! Carry outs available. *

We also will have “free shuttle service” again this year for those of you needing assistance getting to and from your vehicles parked in our designated handicapped parking areas. Chauffers' fire up your smiles and Laughter.

I would like to personally “Thanks” all our returning chairpersons for answering the call, your continued support and commitment to our annual 3-day parish fundraiser. You are an asset to our parish family.

Volunteer sign-ups will be available before and after all masses starting on the weekends soon. Those of you who choose to sign up electronically will be able to do so on Monday evenings through Friday evenings each week. These two sign-up procedures will be available up until the start of the picnic. Thank you for signing up as early as possible to relieve the worry of our chairpersons from not being able to successfully run their booths without adequate volunteers. Check upcoming bulletins for times and dates.

We are still in search of chairpersons for the picnic, please consider helping and getting involved. These are the areas in which we need help.

Please send an email to tcdomo@charter.net to let me know your interest. I would love to hear from you.

Please note that the Mass schedule this week shows that we will not have daily mass this week. Adoration is also cancelled for the week. Father Alfred and the priests of the diocese  will be at a retreat to pray, discuss and fellowship with one another. Please pray for Father and all of our priests. 

Please visit stelizabethgc.org/picnic to to sign up for shifts to help. If  you have questions or concerns, please reach out to the parish office. 

We are in the process of reconfiguring the bulletin to better serve you and to be better stewards of the contributions we receive. We will be building up the information that can be found at stelizabethgc.org to house information no longer included here. If  you have suggestions on advertisers we can reach out to who may wish to promote their business and support our bulletin, please reach out to the parish office. Any feedback on this new communication can be shared with our parish secretary as  well.
