Roy Rogers Spirit Night
Our Lady Star of the Sea Catholic Church
Solomons, Maryland
Dear OLSS Parishioners,
We call ourselves a Eucharistic Community, and so we are. The word
means Thanksgiving and each time we celebrate Mass, The
Eucharist, we give thanks to God for His love and forgiveness.
Today, I want to express our collective Thanks to all of you who
worked so hard and so generously to make the Father Alexander Gala
a tremendous success. The organizing committee, chaired by Mary
Ann Dale and composed of Julie Losh, Cindy Joy, Dave and Debby
Spigler, Peggy Clark, and adjunct members Barbara Sewell, Colleen
Muldoon, Sue Mann and Rich Anderson. In addition, so many
individuals offered their time and talent both in the Rectory, the
School and from the Parish. The Knights of Columbus, the Men's
Group, The Home and School Association all participated.
Several businesses and individuals offered their financial support:
Jan Kleponis from O'Brien Realty, Dave Spigler from Century
21, Medart Galleries in Dunkirk, Reel Good Home
Improvements in Lusby, Port of Call Wine and Spirits, Angie
Rivera from Long and Foster, Back Creek Inn, The Dale Family
Foundation, Spiggy and Friends, Mr. and Mrs. Douglas Alves,
Deacon and Mrs. Bob Connelly, Deacon and Mrs. Chris Jensen, Mr
and Mrs. Joseph Suarez-Murias, Mr. and Mrs. Peter Stephanak, Mr.
and Mrs. Dan Walent, Mr. and Mrs. Thurmond Wilkinson Jr.,
Stephanie McConnell, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Meidenbauer, and Mr.
and Mrs. Fred Callan. Thanks to the many who donated gifts and
talent and to all who so generously supported our Raffle and Auction.
A very special thanks to Eric and Kingfishers for catering an
excellent meal.
Finally, congratulations to Bill and Carolyn Keefe and SMILE, INC,
for all that they have done for Calvert County and for being the
recipients of the Father Alexander Awards this year, and to Gwen
and Lonnie LeDoux (and all their new best friends) who won the
Cruise to Bermuda.
Msgr. Mike
