Fundraiser Gala
Thank you to everyone that supported our BeLoved Mercy Ministries luncheon gala. The event was amazing. The table decorations and themes made for a very festive setting. Raffle baskets were numerous and very creative. Special thanks to those who donated baskets.
Strawberry Days are around the corner…. Please Support the Knights of Columbus
Once again the Grove City Beloved Disciple Knights of Columbus #3658 Council is having the famous Sausage Sandwich stand at Strawberry Days in the Grove City Memorial Park on Friday, June 9th, Saturday, June 10th and Sunday June 11th. The Knights of Columbus has a lot of worthwhile projects that they support by their donations within our parish and local community. That is not possible without this fund raiser.
