Donuts with Dads: Two Opportunities This Year!
As our school continues to grow, it has become too challenging to have all of our dads come for Donuts with Dads on the same morning. As a result, we will celebrate Donuts with Dads on two days this year: Tuesday, March 18 and Wednesday, March 19. Please come to the day that works best for your schedule. We will be celebrating Mass for the feast of Saint Joseph at 9 AM on Wednesday, March 19 for any dads that want to stay and attend Mass with their child.
With a new model for this event, we are really counting on RSVP’s to have a good count for donuts. Please be sure you RSVP for the day that works best for you! Thank you!
RSVP for Wednesday, March 19th
We are in need of volunteers to make Donuts with Dads successful. If you would like to volunteer on either the Tuesday or Wednesday morning event, sign up here.
