18th Annual Parish Picnic- Sunday, September 13

Tickets are now on sale for our 18th Annual Parish Picnic.  We will be having the picnic right here on the Southside of the Basilica grounds directly following the 11:00 am Mass.    There will be a lunch, games, a silent auction and a stage with live entertainment.

The cost remains unchanged at $5 per person which includes snacks, drinks, a BBQ lunch and games.  Children under 5 are free.
This year we will also offer wine and beer for sale.  Debit, credit and cash will be accepted at the picnic for drink tickets as well as silent auction.
The last opportunity for purchasing your tickets is after weekend Masses on September 5/6.  We will be accepting payment by cash, debit and credit.   We kindly ask you to consider debit or cash to reduce our fees.

Everyone is welcome to attend so don’t forget to purchase your tickets early.   We look forward to seeing you all at this wonderful Annual Parish Event.

Please note:  Since the Southside parking lot will be converted to our picnic area, there will be no parking on the Southside parking lot for 9:00 and 11:00 Masses (with the exception of the designated Handicap Parking spots that will allow continued access to the elevator).   If you are unable to find a parking spot on the Northside parking lot, we ask you to please utilize street parking or the City Parkade just off Wilson Street ($3 flat parking for the day) and use the bridge to cross over to Northumberland Street to reach the Basilica.  Thank you for your cooperation.
