Fairy Tale Festival on April 20th - -This will be in conjunction with the Southern Jubilee at Festival Hall in Greensboro. Our parish will be in charge of the "Bippity Bobbity Boutique" where the little girls come and we will do their hair (very simply), give them makeup, and glitter them for a finish. Anne Bared-Hill and Little Scholars Academy are in charge of it and will supply everything. This will be a great evangelization time for our parish and get us out there in the community! It will be from 10-3 pm but you can choose any time in there that you can help out.
