Plans for Carnival 2022 are currently underway. We have not been able to hold the Carnival for the past two years due to Covid restrictions, so new ideas have been brewing for quite some time. We are all looking forward to once again being able to get together with our fellow parishioners and community members for several nights of fun, relaxation and camaraderie. This year, the Carnival will run for an extra night: Tuesday, June 21 to Saturday, June 25 from 6:00 to 10:00.
As always, we will have games with prizes, a varied selection of food and treats, and rides for all ages, provided by an experienced amusement company. Additionally, we will have daily and Super 50/50 drawings, and our famous White Elephant sale to benefit our sister parish in Haiti.
In an effort to allow more families to access the fun, this year parishioners will be able to sponsor local families who may not be able to afford to attend the Carnival at this time. Donations are being requested so that we can provide ride-wristbands and food certificates for families I need. Please place donations in an envelope labeled – “Sponsor a Family” and bring or mail to the Parish office. Marked envelopes may also be placed in the collection basket during Sunday masses. If you want to sponsor a specific family, the Parish Office staff can help you.
Individual ride tickets and wristbands will be available at the carnival. The wristbands provide unlimited access for an individual to all rides for an entire evening. The cost is $35 per person at the Carnival, but if you purchase in advance, each wristband is only $25. Quite a savings! Also, buying in advance gives the church a higher percentage of profit. They can be purchased at the Parish office or after Sunday masses.
The Carnival is the largest fundraiser of the year. Please support it. If you have questions, you may contact Gil at 973-670-7217. More specifics will be posted as they become available. Please check back often.
Sign up sheets are in the vestibule now!
Our Carnival this year is TUESDAY, June 21 thru SATURDAY June 25, 2022
