TASC Youth Group!

This year we are combining efforts with an organization known as SHINE (Serving Him in the Needy and Elderly).  We are proud to be hosting youth groups from all over the country during the week of June 28th.  These groups, including our own TASC, will be serving those in and around Hawthorne who are in need of home repair and living adjustments that they are unable to accomplish themselves.  Whether it be physical or financial, many are in need of decent living conditions and cannot provide for themselves.  We will be hosting approximately 150 people on our parish grounds where we will all eat, sleep, worship and praise God together.  During the day we will work at our assigned locations and be Christ's hands and hearts to those in need.  For more information on SHINE Workcamps, visit shinecatholicworkcamp.com

 

Helping others requires funds and in order to meet our goals for this year, we have developed some really exciting new opportunities for us to not only raise funds, but to grow together as a parish and possibly meet your needs for other things in the process.

 

Dessert Competition: Thank you so much to everyone who helped make our Baker's Competition a huge success.  We truly appreciated everyone coming out to enjoy the goodies and support our youth group efforts.  Congratulations to our winner Dorothy Bruining and her now famous Dump Cake!  Thank you very much to all of our talented bakers and all of the time, talent and treasure that they put into making their baked goods with love.  It was a close race and we couldn't have pulled the day off without you.  Thanks to Michelle Colucci, Arleen DePauw,Victor DePauw, Debbie Gordon, Harry Gordon, Paula Hoffman, Brooke Schuldt, Pam Tabback and Karen Young.

Pasta Dinner:  Our annual Pasta Dinner will be held Friday, May 21st, in order to avoid the meatball-on-friday-in-Lent fiasco and steer clear or inclement weather!  This event is not only a delicious fundraiser but a wonderful community event, as well.  More information to follow.
