Rock Night:
Family Potluck BBQ follows Youth Mass on Sunday, September 12.
We’re kicking off The Rock’s
season with a family BBQ for middle and high school students and their
families.
To be held at the St Rocco field immediately following the 5:00 Youth Mass.
Come for an evening of food, fun and friendship!
Each family is asked to bring a side salad or dessert to share.
These should be left in the lower church before Youth Mass.
We’ll provide the Burgers and Dogs, Drinks and Entertainment.
A suggested $5.00 donation per family is greatly appreciated to help offset the cost.
To help us plan enough food, please RSVP!
Send your family name and number attending to the BBQ co-coordinators, Tracy
Hickey and Lisa Lockhart at: franklin52003@yahoo.com. Even a last minute rsvp is OK.
Students in need of service hours please contact Mrs. Lockhart to help with set up or
clean up. We’ll need lots of teen and parent helping hands
for set up, clean up and grill tending during the event.
We’re looking forward to another great year for The Rock! See you there!
