Social Cultural coordinates the ministry of hospitality by bringing together the parish community to break bread in a friendly and celebratory gathering through the many Parish social events.
The all-voluntary “team” serves the parish with unwavering commitment and share their God-given talents as party planners, decorators, chefs, sous chefs, etc. They have fun in the process of setting up and decorating the cafeteria, preparing and cooking over a hot stove in the kitchen or at an outdoor grill, doing plated or buffet food service with a smile, and grocery shopping.
Social Cultural meets on the first Tuesday of each month. The annual events they cater to follows:
Event Month of event Description Parish Feast Day Dinner January Celebrates the Epiphany of the Lord feast day on the first or second Saturday of January. St. Patrick’s Day Dinner March Honors the parishioners of Irish descent and the Presentation Sisters, and is held on the third Saturday of March. New England boiled dinners of corned beef, cabbage, carrots and potatoes are served. Each year the Murphy Irish dancers have entertained us with their quick stepping. Pastor’s Birthday Party July In July the parish celebrates our pastor’s birthday and his continued service to our parish.
