We are planning great events for June 12th (please note date change) and August 14th this summer. The June 12th event will be for Parish families to gather and have fun!!
The August 14th event will feature the group “Banks and Shane” for dancing under the stars!! This event will be open to the community and will be a “Chastain” type of fun where you bring dinner and decorate your table and listen to good music.
Please put these dates on your calendars and come celebrate St. David’s and have a good time!!
Annual Horse Show
This is the largest single fundraiser that the parish has each year—The Saint David’s Hunter/Jumper Spring Bouquet.
For over 30 years, the Saint David’s Men’s Club has sponsored a horse show, to raise money for North Fulton Community Charities, where we are charter members. Some monies are also dedicated to the Men’s Club operating fund in support of the parish kitchen and the various church ministries the Men’s Club supports throughout the year.
The show is usually scheduled on a Saturday in mid-March, with a steak dinner the evening before. Please keep this date open on your calendar.
You will find more information regarding specifics of volunteer needs, disbursement of monies, ad book sales, and the Horse Show in general
in the church newsletter, The Illumination, and the Sunday
bulletin announcements.
Contact Mike Dougherty
for more information.
ANNUAL PARISH PICNIC
Sponsored by the Men’s Club on the grounds of the church, the
picnic takes place after services, in late May or early June. The
Men’s Club cooks hot dogs and hamburgers, and parishioners bring
side dishes to share. The Date for 2010 is
Pentecost Sunday, May 23, after the 11:15 a.m. service!
BLESSING OF THE ANIMALS
The Blessing of the Animals is held on the Saturday closest to the Feast of St. Francis, which is October
4. We are reminded of God’s love for us and all creation by the exemplary life of St. Francis. We know that your pets are already wonderful, but don’t forget to bring them (suitably leashed, caged, or otherwise restrained or contained) to St. David’s for the Blessing. The service is brief. Each pet and owner receives a blessing.
