This week I want to give thanks for everyone who was in any way involved in our Brazilian BBQ. So many volunteers sold tickets, did advertising, set up the location, and served the meats, rice, salads, and dessert. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was joyful.

“Thank you” hardly seems enough for all of the people from our church and from the Brazilian community who planned and operated this fundraiser for our parish. After expenses were paid, the proceeds of the BBQ came to $4,500!

Our friend, Mark Hauser, Communications Officer for the diocese, attended the BBQ and took photos. You will find his article in the diocesan eNews Weekl
