Social Events


Bus trip + winery tour + train trip + dinner
Saturday, April 12, 2008

We are planning one of our best events of the year - an all day (11:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.) bus and train trip. The bus picks up passengers at Holy Cross at 11:30 a.m.

The first stop will be two wineries, (Ste. Genevieve and Chalmette) for tours and wine tasting. Following the visits to the wineries, we motor on to Jackson, Missouri and board a train for a two-hour train ride which includes a full dinner. After dinner, we again board the bus and travel back to Holy Cross. The Social Activities Committee promises a full day of entertainment, fun and fellowship. Sit back, relax and leave the driving to us!

The cost for the entire day, including the bus, train, tours and dinner is $45 per person. There will be a sign-up sheet on the bulletin board. Reservations and payment are required in advance

Square Dance
March 8th
 6:30-10:00 p.m.

The Social Activities Committee is organizing a Square Dance by popular request. The last square we had was in 2005. The event will be held Saturday evening, March 8, from 6:30 to 10:00 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall at Holy Cross.  We have Stan Mangogna as our “caller”, who will lead us through a wonderful evening of square dancing. 

Everyone should bring a snack to share. The Social Activities Committee will provide beverages.  Dress in your casual square dance attire, but it’s recommended to wear some leather-soled shoes for swinging your partner on the carpeted floor.

The cost is $6 per person. Tickets will be on sale by the Social Activities Committee in the church hallway following Sunday services. Look for the poster and sign-up sheet on the bulletin board. 

Note: You don’t have to be a “seasoned” square dancer. This is a fun evening, for beginners and up.
