Nate & Ashley Harberts suffered the loss of their garage and shop on Friday morning. The many wood projects that Nate has been crafting are gone, along with his equipment. The Lismore Fire Department responded quickly so the fire did not spread to the house. Thankfully, no one was injured. Our thoughts are with them.

It was a perfect fall day for the St. Anthony bazaar and auction on Sunday. The turkey & dressing was delicious and the candied carrots were so good you could have eaten them as a dessert—although there were plenty of other tasty desserts, too! There was something for everyone on the auction block—meat bundles, vegetables, wall decorations, homemade horseradish and frozen corn, beanbag boards, blankets, certificates for services, and oodles of other donated items. One of the items that brought big money was Fr. Colletti’s “Dinner at the Rectory”. Denise Lynn was the lucky winner of the quilt, which was made and donated by Briana Loonan. The auctioneers moved along quickly so no one should have gone home hungry or empty handed!! It was a great way to spend the afternoon.
Be sure to visit our neighbors in Adrian for the St. Adrian Fall festival on September 17th. They are proud to say they serve REAL mashed potatoes with their dinner. You may also visit the Candy Shoppe, buy Big Ticket chances, or try the cake walk. It’s a great way to spend time with your family and support our parish cluster activities.
