Please see Katrice if you would like a template for certificates or keeping score of each event.

Epiphany Party: Schedule, plan, and set up a party in early January, preferably on the Feast of the Epiphany.

This party is a fun way to celebrate our Parish namesake. Bingo with real gold coins for the winners has been a fan favorite. One of our group members has Three Wisemen costumes and a jumbo die for a fun game (please reach out to a Board member if you wish to borrow these items). Reading the Tommie dePaola book: "The Story of the Three Wise Kings" or similar story has also been well received.

St. Valentine's Day Party: Schedule, plan, and set up a party in early February, preferably on the 14th.
