St. Patrick's Episcopal Church
Question: What is a church without fun(d)-raising?
Answer: Boring!
There is always some type of fun(d)-raising going on at most churches, and St. Patrick's is no exception.
We host a few annual events for outreach, capital projects and ministry. In the fall, St. Patrick's bakes and sells dozens and dozens of Christmas Cookies to support our Outreach ministries. During Lent, the parish fries, broils and prepares fish, seafood and chicken during each Friday during Lent, including Good Friday, and Ash Wednesday. In the spring, we host a theme tray auction to benefit the American Cancer Society through our Relay for Life support team. In the fall, we host a theme tray auction to provide for our capital projects. Most recently we have added the sale of Rada Knives© as a 2009 fun(d)-raiser to support capital projects. <<See the Rada page for on-line ordering information.>>
In July, 2009 we completed one of the parish's biggest goals, a paved parking lot and driveway, largely from the efforts of these individual fundraising events.
On June 19, 2010 join us at Iroquois High School in Elma for the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life event. St. Patrick's sponsors a team titled: "Kathy's Light" in honor of one of our beloved parishioners. The Relay begins at 2 pm and continues up to midnight. it's always an awesome time at the Relay! Look for the Kathy's Light banner!
