St. Bernadette Men’s Club Pasta Dinner Update 

The St. Bernadette's Men’s Club sincerely thanks all our great parishioners who came out to support our recent pasta dinner. God blessed us with a beautiful day and we had another great turnout. Special thanks goes out to all who helped us, whether it was for a couple of hours or if you gave many hours throughout the whole process. It takes a significant effort to make 125 gallons of sauce, 4,500 meatballs and 150 pounds of sausage. 

We could not possibly do this without your help. THANK YOU! Congratulations to our Big Raffle Prize Winner: Kelly Overfelt who was our grand prize winner of a Prime Rib Dinner for up to 20 which was generously donated by parishioners Kris and Cheryl Galas of Eddies Cafe.
