Summertime Fun for a Good Cause- Saint Mary Summer Festival

Summertime is a cherished season that invites us to embark on a journey of restoration, both for our spirits and our relationships. As the warm sun illuminates the world around us, it stirs a sense of renewal within our souls. 

The summer season also presents a unique opportunity for us to come together as a community and raise funds to restore our beloved church tower. As the days grow longer and the weather becomes more inviting, people are naturally drawn outdoors, seeking ways to engage and support causes close to their hearts. Our church, with its iconic tower standing tall as a beacon of hope and faith, has been a cornerstone of our community for generations of immigrants. However, the wear and tear of time have taken their toll on this architectural gem, necessitating significant restoration efforts. Recognizing the importance of preserving this symbol of our shared heritage, we rally together during these sunny months to organize a series of fundraising events and initiatives.

Please attend our upcoming Summer Festival on 

Sunday, July 16 
at 
Saint Mary Church, Norwich
12 30 PM to 5 30 PM
We will have: Raffles, Live Music, Children's Activities, Cultural Performances, Food KIOSKS, ART & Crafts.

As families and friends come together under the warm sun, they are inspired to give generously, knowing that their contributions will directly contribute to the revival of our cherished church tower. Through these collective efforts, we not only raise funds but also foster a sense of unity, purpose, and pride within our community. Every dollar donated, every volunteer hour spent, becomes a testament to the deep-rooted spirit of resilience and commitment that exists within us all. With each successful fundraising event, we inch closer to our restoration goal, ensuring that future generations can continue to find solace, inspiration, and a sense of belonging within the hallowed walls of our church.
