Parish Picnic Thanks

By: Angela Tuttle | Last Updated: 09/27/2012 15:00

 
What an awesome parish picnic! Thanks to the picnic chairs Mary Wright, Dennis DeMeo and Ramon Zepeda (from St. Nicholas, St. Thomas’ sister parish in Aurora) it was a huge success. Who knew having it indoors could be so much fun! The food was fabulous, especially the authentic Mexican food from St. Nicholas Parish. In addition, there was traditional picnic fare of hot dogs, hamburgers and pulled pork from Texas Roadhouse. The yummy desserts were made by parishioners and went fast. Thanks to middle school youth who made Tropical Punch for us. This event was such a success due to the helping hands of the many, many volunteers that came forward to work it. Thank you all!
