Our Parish Picnic is Sunday, August 30th from 12pm-3pm - we can’t wait to see you there!

The Annual Parish Picnic returns on August 30th from 12pm-3pm on the Holy Redeemer Parish grounds. Bring the whole family and enjoy a signature BBQ presented by the Knights of Columbus and potluck by parishioners. Back again this year are snow cones and popcorn.

Activities for kids include a bounce house, a water slide, face painting, crafts and games on the south lawn with Fr. Nathe. Adults will enjoy a free raffle for amazing prizes donated by local businesses and parishioners, BINGO and of course, fellowship.

The entire event is free to all, thanks to the generosity and donations from the Knights of Columbus, every family bringing a potluck dish, our volunteers and those who have donated prizes for this year’s picnic.

Back again this year ~ we are adding TWO large canopies on the lawn for extra seating. We will have some chairs, but if you have a favorite picnic chair, bring it along. And by popular vote, the water slide returns for kids 40” and taller up to adults. If interested in “sliding”, bring your own towel and change of clothes.

Do you have a new or nearly new item for the raffle or BINGO prizes?Please bring items to the Parish Office Mon-Fri between 9am-4pm or contact Judy McMorine at judym@holyredeemervanc.org.

In July, we will open the Sign-Up to bring picnic food. Would you like to be part of the Parish Picnic Volunteer Team? Call the Parish Office and let us know!
