Thanks to all of you...and the many others who lent their time and talents over the weekend, the 44th St. Dimitrie Festival was a smashing success! 
 
Months of painstaking preparation culminated in another successful event that brought together hundreds and hundreds of people looking for food, fellowship, and fun in the warm embrace of St. Dimitrie Church. Father summed it up well in church yesterday...it's a lot of work, and yes, we grumble sometimes, but it's worth it! So many smiles, so much laughter, and such good memories!
 
As you exhale a sigh of relief, we hope you're left with warmth in your heart from a job so well done reflecting God's love in our little corner of the world.
 
From our hearts to yours, thank you for making our job as co-chairs a piece of cake! Please pass along our thanks to your volunteers!
 
Yours in Christ,
Festival Co-Chairs
Psa. Marian, Van, and Linda

Special Message from Fr. George about Communion

Fr George had a special message for everyone taking Communion.

Many people come with their head down and mouths barely open. He asked that people keep their head up and tilt it back a bit when they approach the chalice and keep their mouth open.

The most important thing he stressed is NOT to drop the sacrament.
