Save the date – the second annual Holy Innocents Classic Car Show returns Sunday, July 10. The event begins at 9am (car exhibitors arrive earlier than that to pick out a good spot). Car entries will be parked on our capacious lawn, and there will be food, prizes, activities, and surprises galore. This fundraiser will benefit both the church and the Schaumburg Food Pantry.

Services that day will take place, though possibly at a special time, so check back for updates. If you can’t be there to volunteer, there will still be plenty of ways to contribute your time or talents. We’re looking for food and prize donations, baked goods to be sold, and volunteers willing to contact the neighbors to let them know about the event so they can possibly plan to hold a garage sale.

If you’re interested in entering a car, leave a message at the church office at 847-885-7900, or watch this space for registration information. Last year we had 40 cars, and this year we could easily double that number, so act now.

Event Date: May 7, 2005 8:30 AM – May 7, 2005 5:00 PM

Location: St. Mary’s, Park Ridge

We now have the ability to offer an announcements mailing list for those of you who have email. A number of you have included your email addresses in the church directory, so we may use that as a starting point.

This would be used strictly for parish announcements, and not for discussion. Email addresses will be confidential and will not be given to any third party for any reason without permission.

If you would like your email address added to the announcements list, please send a message to the webmistress with “MAILING LIST” in the subject line.
