Sunday, June 20, 10 am

at the Latham Shelter in North Park 

​

Our annual parish picnic will be held at 10 am at the Latham Shelter in North Park.

The 8:00 a.m. service will be held at church as usual but there will be no live-streamed service on June 20.

​

Because this service will be held outdoors, we hope that many will feel comfortable in joining their fellow parishioners and friends for this act of corporate worship.
We will make every effort to provide an environment in which all can feel safe.
Following the service, we will enjoy a picnic meal together. St. Brendan’s has
earned its reputation for lively hospitality, but this year we will be simplifying
the arrangements somewhat so as to limit the risk of cross-contamination. Those who prefer to bring and consume their own meals will be very welcome
to do so.

Children are welcome. No RSVPs required.
