St. Clement of Rome to Benefit from Fiesta
The 52nd annual St. Rita Fiesta is just weeks away and it promises to
be an event not to be missed. This year we are happy to announce that
St Clement of Rome, our sister parish near New Orleans, will be the
sole recipient of our Fiesta-related tithe.
The Fiesta, scheduled for Friday June 2nd
and Saturday June 3rd, features a range of activities and games for
children and adults, and a variety of tantalizing food. There is also
the plant sale, the book sale, the bake sale, and the auction. Those
golfers who just missed 'that putt' last year can take another shot at
being the Last Golfer Standing©.
Don't forget the new $10,000
raffle.
Only 5,000 tickets will be sold. All parish families
should have received a mailing with entry forms. Need more? Call the
Parish Office.
Country Comes to the Fiesta
- Friday night is sure to be a favorite for fans of country music.
Webster Thomas graduate Ciara Lynn will be performing an acoustic set
with her guitar player at 6 p.m. You can get more info on her at www.ciaralynn.com.
The hot sounds of today's country music
continue when Nashville recording artist Sean Patrick McGraw takes the
stage at 7 p.m. McGraw's latest album, Songs for Saturday
Night
, has won widespread acclaim from the country music
establishment. The Country Music News said
"McGraw's third album is a winner." For more information please visit www.seanpatrickmcgraw.com. Get a
seat early by coming for the 5 p.m. fish fry.
Sound of Tromping Feet
- Saturday, the popular Webster Marching Band, and the Bishop Kearney
Alumni Band - along with floats and antique cars - kicks off the
activities with a parade starting a 2 p.m. The Reptile Guy, clowns and
magicians are on hand Saturday afternoon. The Dinner Dogs (www.dinnerdogs.com)
provide "hot tunes for cool kids" during Saturday afternoon's
festivities.
The night may cool off, but the music
continues to be hot with Atlas performing Saturday at 6:30 p.m. Atlas
is a nine-member soul/r&b/funk band based in Rochester.
Together for 25 years, Atlas is the #1 Party Band in New York State
having performed at corporate parties, weddings, festivals, and night
clubs (www.atlasband.com).
Mobility Scooter Leads the Auction
- A generous individual has donated a 2005 Pride Legend three-wheel
mobility scooter. The champagne-colored unit is less than a year old.
It includes a deluxe foldable leather adjustable seat with headrest,
solid non-puncture tires, head and taillights, front and rear baskets,
cup and cane holders, and heavy-duty protective cover. Not your speed?
Delta Sonic has donated services, as has an orthodontist. Don't forget
to bid on a pew for Christmas Eve (2006) and Easter Sunday Mass (2007).
This year's auction will feature an
auctioneer and will be held both nights. You can help by donating new
items with a minimum value of $50. To donate call Gary and Virginia
Nicastro at 872-5564 or Carol Montante 217-8629.

Plant Sale Puts Down Roots
We are preparing for the Fiesta Plant sale. When you are
digging and dividing your plants and shrubs for the Fiesta Plant sale
please mark their names and flower colors with each pot. Last
year's success was built on our customers being able to find the plant
they wanted and knowing the flower color. We are willing to
divide and dig your donated plants. We are looking for different
varieties of Hostas, flowering shrubs and perennials, and any other
plant you would like to donate. We are still in need of containers.
Please call Carol Van Atta, 671-7832, to schedule a dig time. Or for
more information, call Joyce Hollander, 671-3281. Volunteers
are needed to set up and work the booth.
Got Books? Donate Them
Once again, it's time to clean out your bookshelves. Let's make this
another big success by donating your used books, CD's and videos. We
have great selection and bargains; so don't forget to pick up your
summer reading at a fraction of the price of new material! A collection
box is in the narthex. For pick-up, call 671-2722.
Sponsorships and volunteering is
good for the soul
The Fiesta always needs sponsors and volunteers. To volunteer, call Tom
Cali, 671-0428 or Ed Ritzel, 787-1937. Setting Up/Tearing Down - A
little manual labor is good for you. Volunteers are needed for setting
up and tearing down the Fiesta. Call Tony Mendicino, 216-9648. For
sponsorship information, contact Gary and Virginia Nicastro, 872-5564.
