Dear Brothers & Sisters,

Thanks to all of you for your efforts in making the 17th Annual Shamrock Shave (held last March 15th) a successful fundraising event for our parish community and those in need.

Thanks to your efforts, we collectively raised $16,615 (so far) for the needy in our community (St. Vincent DePaul Society). We also had 9 adult and children Shavees, an estimated 250 adults and children in attendance throughout the evening, and served over 250 Irish and Chicken Tender dinners! The Dundee Scottish Pipe Band and the Mayer School of Dance gave terrific performances, and it is heartening to see our parish pull together and answer the call.

Seeing members of the Knights of Columbus, St. Vincent de Paul Society, and other parishioners volunteer to make the event happen has blessed our Parish Family in many ways. Thanks to your commitment to the event, we exceeded our goal and had a lot of fun raising money for a worthwhile cause… more than $16,600!

To All the Shavees: Your commitment to the parish community and helping those in need is inspirational… may your bald heads be examples to those in the parish and community of our parish’s commitment to charity!

To the 2025 Shamrock Shave Planning Committee: Andre Manaois, Deacon Bob Armstrong, John Schneider, Ken Prigge (Chef) and Ingrid Prigge, Financial Advisors Larry & Julie O’Brien, Chris & Cindy Cimaglio, and Amy Schneider, as well as Ed & Carol Majkrzak, Mark Minaglia, Kevin & Julie Fitzgerald, Chris Hubbuch, Tim O’Neill, Michael Kouvelis, and many others that came out to help. Thank you for your hard work on event day and your great creativity and planning for the Mane Event!

To the Event Volunteers, including members of the following parish groups and ministries who helped ensure the event ran smoothly: Knight of Columbus Council #11091 and the St. Vincent DePaul Society.

Lastly, special thanks to our Pastor, Father Zibi, and Father Martin, and our clergy for supporting the event.

Thanks to all of you for contributing time, talent, and treasure in support of this very worthwhile cause.

God Bless You,
