Lake Arrowhead, California
Fund Raiser again a huge success
We traveled up the mountain for the Annual Fund
Raiser for our Seminarians in St Louis, Missouri
on Saturday, August 12 and Sunday, August 13, 2006. It is
always such a joy to be with the parishioners of Our Lady
of Lake and St Ann in the Mountains parishes. Father Tim
Keppel, CR pastor of both churches has a well organized
weekend for all who attend. Father Gary Hogan, CR,
Director of Formation in St Louis, preached at all the
Masses at St Ann & Our Lady of the Lake Parishes. Each
of the seminarians, Paul Smith, CR and Eric Wagners, CR
expressed their words of thanks for the kindnesses they
receive from the people. Brother William Hallas, CR,
shared with the parishioners the need for help and ways
that they can help our Seminary Education Fund.
On Sunday afternoon, at the residence of Mr & Mrs
Michael Casey there was a gathering of Parishioners and friends
selected by Father Tim, CR for a nice summer brunch. At that
time our Provincial, Father Mike Danek, CR along with
Father Gary Hogan, CR share their words of appreciation to
the people in attendance. Father Tim, CR and Father James
Gibson, CR presented the Resurrection Merit Award to the
recipients of Our Lady of the Lake Church and St Joseph
Church in Fontana, California. This year Catherine Garrett
received the award from our Lady of the Lake Parish and
Bernardita Lopez received the award from St Joseph in Fontana,
California. Thanks again Father Tim, CR, for your outstanding
organization of these events in the mountains of Lake
Arrowhead. We certainly have reached our goals each year.
