Young Adult Winter Grillout on Thursday, February 18th at 6:30pm

Our experimental winter grill out went so well that we're going to start doing it every month!  In February we'll be meeting on Thursday, February 18th at 6:30pm. Join the young adults (20s and 30s) and the priests after the 5:45pm Daily Mass. We'll meet in the Gathering Place at St. Joseph Catholic Church.  We'll provide the burgers, brats and beer - you bring something else to share! Childcare for kids after they eat.  RSVP by contacting Josh at fmcyainfo@gmail.com
