We would like to thank all who contributed to our largest parish fund-raiser. We are pleased to report that all 1500 tickets were sold. Our goal cannot be reached without the help of so many. To the captains and sellers, we are so appreciative of your efforts. To all those that purchased a ticket we wish you luck in the upcoming drawings.
