LADIES AUXILLARY - FOND FAREWELL
Dear Parishioners of All Saints Church, the All Saints Ladies’ Auxiliary has served the All Saints Parish and All Saints community for many years. After a period of inactivity, the ladies group re-started in 2003, during this period we raised and donated over $150,000.00.
Unfortunately, the time has come for the Ladies group to close this Ministry, predominantly due to aging and medical issues of most of our members. Hopefully, at some future date, a new group of ladies will restart this Ministry. At this time, I would like to thank all the congregation for supporting us with our activities whether it be through donating, or with their time to help out with our fundraising activities. I will fondly remember our famous pies, all the lasagna dinners, and our well attended bazaars. I would like to especially thank our Ladies past and present, that gave of their time to make every activity a special one, thank you wholeheartedly my ladies, it’s been a truly amazing experience for me I know I’m a better person having known all of you. God Bless you all.
Connie Ciampa.
President, Ladies Auxiliary Group.
The Ladies Auxiliary was re-established in 2003 by a group of women from All Saints' Parish for the purpose of socializing and organizing spiritual events (community breakfast), trips and annual fundraising events (bazaar) in a spirit of camaraderie.
At present the board consists of 14 Members and we meet once a month. Once a week (please check the bulletin for more updated times) we get together in the Church hall on Tuesday afternoons at 1 pm to socialize, make plastic mats which we donate to Dr. Simone for distribution, we also knit for our annual fundraising event.
New ladies are welcome to join us, we are always in need of knitters, new ideas and wool.
Thank you for all the support in the past. Hope to see you in the future.
