Thank you to everyone who helped make our Summer Picnic such a wonderful success!
A special note of gratitude goes to our Picnic Chairperson, Chris Boehnlein, and our dedicated Picnic Committee. While the picnic lasts only two days, the planning begins more than six months in advance. Committee members coordinate every detail, including promotion of our Gold & Blue raffles, game booth sponsors, setup, cleanup and prizes, recruiting captains and workers, gathering items for our spectacular Gift Basket Raffle, scheduling bands, planning menus and food service, purchasing cakes, coordinating parking and safety, and organizing the Family Night events such as the 5K Run/Walk and Cornhole Tournament.
Thank you to everyone who worked a shift, donated cakes or jars, purchased or sold raffle chances, sponsored the event, or simply came out to enjoy the festivities. Your generosity and hard work made this year's picnic a joyful event for our entire community.
Mark your calendars for the 32nd Annual St. Albert Summer Picnic on June 18th and 19th, 2027!
The parish office will be closed Friday, July 3rd & Monday, July 6th for the Independence Day holiday.
