At 14 Holy Helpers we’re celebrating the coming of Spring by sponsoring Spring Fest 2021. We need an opportunity to join with our fellow parishioners and friends by sharing in some food and fun. In the tradition of Lenten fasting, the food that we will be offering is totally meatless. The manner in which we are providing theme baskets follows all healthy event guidelines. As responsible parishioners and neighbors let’s renew our commitments to each other. Then take a few minutes to celebrate the coming rebirth of Spring!
