Howdy Weekend

 

Let’s go back in time:

1986 – Our current church was dedicated.

1953 – Our parish was founded.

 

Our parish didn’t exist in 1874, but let’s have some fun imagining the Church of Saint Mary as a little Catholic church on the frontier.

At the end of August, our Howdy Weekend will take place after every Mass. The gym will be converted into an old west town with a church, cafe, bank, saloon, barn, and hotel. The purpose of Howdy Weekend is for us to get to know the people sitting at the other end of our pew at Mass, to learn the names of the family that sits across the aisle from us, and to meet the parishioners who make our parish hospitable.
