UPCOMING EVENTS at St. Irenaeus

O.C.I.M.A ANNUAL RAFFLE!!!

We will be hosting our annual raffle starting September 19, 2010

The raffle began many years ago when Pat Egan-Myers was asked by Father Nick

to buy his time share in Las Vegas. Pat then flew to Las Vegas and discussed the Jockey Club

if something like this was possible. They said yes! I realized going to Las Vegas might not

be as exciting as an exchange program. We have been able to get trips to Hawaii, Spain, Florida,

California, Virginia. Hawaii was the big favorite! The goal is to provide a good time for the

lucky rafflewinner. However, the real mission is to raise money and keep this mission alive.

There areso manygreat charties that so many of you have given too. When i started this with misison

with Father Mitchellheagreed to support it. Father Nick had succeeded in establishing a very wonderful

charity and we are all asmallpart of it! I know that every dollar counts and i am very happy to know that

those time shares thatwere neverused have brought in 300,000.00 dollars. So together we can do something

for the children and ourselves.
