ST. JOSEPH CATHOLIC SCHOOL TOUR FUNDRAISER
Wednesday, June 15th
7:00-9:00pm
The School Fundraiser was a wonderful success. We had a great turn out (even though it was so hot!!) and the feedback for the event has been positive.
Thanks to all who donated with admissions and outright donations we were able to raise $1620.00!!! Proceeds benefit our purchase of the plaque announcing the entry of the St. Joseph Roman Catholic Church Complex into the National
Register of Historic Places.
The Shekinah Ringers (formerly the St. Joseph Bell Choir) preformed spring concert, Ring In 2 in ’22, on Wednesday, May 25th at 7 PM in St. Joseph’s Church (Canton). The group presented an informal, relaxed concert of some of their favorite music from this past bell choir season, including selections from Advent, Christmas, Lent and Easter, as well as pieces used for ordinary time. Selections included Swing Low, Comfort Your People, Divine Messiah, O God Beyond All Praising and others, interspersed with interesting narratives about the meaning behind the music.
The Royal Sarouk Authentic Oriental Rug that sat behind the altar for over 60 years is for sale.
We wanted to off our locals the opportunity to own this beautiful piece of history first. Cost is $3000.00. It is 10 x12 and in fair to good condition. It has an approx. 3 x 4 hole and one corner edge wear approx. 4″. More pictures available of condition. Serious buyers can set up an appointment to see the rug by calling 330-453-2526. Buying as-is.
