Click here to watch it, again!
We are so thankful to all the many volunteers, basket raffle donors, basket raffle & dinner ticket buyers, and our talented parish family for their entertainment offerings. It is truly a blessing that, for this year, in our season of Covidtide, the Cultural Events Committee, in combination with the Fundraising Committee, not only raised over $5,000, but thought out-of-the-box to create an entertainment offering that allowed us to be together (virtually), as a parish, sharing our talents, all while raising money for our ministry. It is a testament to our faith and to the infused spirit of our St. Edward’s community.
It is in this spirit, that we give heartfelt thanks to Father Rick, for his spiritual guidance & faithfulness, every day and in every way, to the people of St. Edward’s, as well as to our wider community. We are blessed by his amazing talents and ever so grateful for his technology savvy! It is a good and joyful thing to bring to all of you, and our wider community, our virtual services and events, keeping us connected to each other and strengthening us in faith, hope, and love. Amen!

COOKIE SALE 2017 UPDATE: Our 2017 cookie sale was, once again, a HUGE success! thanks to all the bakers and volunteers. We raised over $2,300 this year!
COOKIES, COOKIES, COOKIES!!!! Guess what? The St. Edward’s Christmas Cookie Sale is coming up on Saturday, December 2nd. That is not too far away to start thinking about baking. If you are interested in coming to St. Edward’s on a Saturday and participating in a group baking session, please contact the parish office. If we have enough interest, we will work to schedule one in mid-November and will provide details. A sign up sheet for cookies will be in the parish hall starting November 5th. Let’s make this year’s cookie sale the biggest yet. St. Edward’s has quite a great following now for our cookie sale and we pretty much sell out within an hour. So, the more cookies we make, the more funds we can raise! We will also be having our café breakfast, so if you would like to volunteer to help with that, please let the parish office know.
