Dear Parishioners and Friends of Holy Family Church,
Our short summer is almost over! I hope you enjoyed it, and are ready to start another Minnesotan fall. We have the way to kick-start the Fall with our Annual Lebanese Festival, and this year at a new venue in Mendota Heights in our new Church at 1960 Lexington Avenue South. The Festival is Sunday September 7th. At 10 am we have our Divine Liturgy, and at 11am the fun begins!
More details in our September Bulletin, at the following link: http://holyfamilymaronite.org/files/September%202008.pdf
Hope to see you all there!
God bless you always!
