Introduction to Antiphons
Starting this weekend, our family of parishes will be using antiphons given to us by the Church. The link below will take you to a sample of the Entrance Antiphon for the First Sunday of Lent.
Chili Cook-off is This Saturday!
To benefit the St. Vincent de Paul conferences
in the Queen of Apostles Family of Parishes
Saturday, February 25
5:30-8:00 pm
at St. James of the Valley
We will have multiple donations of chilis to sample and rank. Tasters will vote with tickets to award their favorites. Chili-makers will be circulating and motivating you to augment their ballot boxes. (Favoritism and rampant ballot box stuffing will be overlooked, or even encouraged! This is a fundraiser after all.) The grand prize of the coveted Grand Masters Chili Spoon and Apron will be awarded by our former Grand Master, Fr. McCullough.
The tasting fee is $10 (under 5 years old – free).
This fee comes with 10 voting tickets. Additional voting tickets are $1 each.
