Cinco de Mayo Fiesta to Benefit Retired Priests

A Cinco de Mayo celebration will be held Saturday, May 5 at 6 p.m. at St. John Parish in Naches.  Come out to support this fundraiser for the Retirement Fund for the Priests of the Diocese of Yakima.  These holy men, our former pastors, served us well for many years, but they need our help as they now rest.  Some of them continue to serve the people of God in the Diocese of Yakima, in retirement, as their health allows.  Please make a visit to St. John in Naches (206 Moxee Avenue) as we celebrate this day with fine homemade food, and great fellowship; and for a wonderful cause.  If you have ever attended our Pot Roast Dinners in the past, this is the next incarnation of those great times!  See you then!  Thank you!
