FRIAR'S MIND

Sue Steidel was general chairman of the Parish Picnic this year, her second year in a row. She is now on a well- deserved vacation. Helping her were many of the same people who have shown up year after year. And this year, there were some new faces among the leaders and workers.

We owe these people an enormous debt of gratitude for their dedication and hard work. Without them there would be no annual picnic. The picnic brings in needed money and helps foster community spirit in the parish. Working and relaxing together helps us realize that we are members of one family in the Lord.

These people do their work for the good of all of us and God's glory, not for personal gain or credit. But they deserve our thanks. So we tell them all: we appreciate you very much!
