Garden City, NY – Since 2002, St. Anne’s has welcomed the fall season with a celebration of unity and faith called Spirit Day. It’s a day filled with a wide variety of activities that keep everyone happy while bringing them closer together.
“The parish and the surrounding community look forward to it each year,” comments event organizer Bob Crinnion. “It’s become a great tradition for both adults and kids.”
Bouncy rides, carnival games, sweets and treats keep the little ones happy. A live band provides music all day and tweens can enjoy the Middle School Dance Party at 7:30PM. A special DJ will provide music for older teens at the outdoor showmobile in the evening. Parents can shop at the Craft Fair, enjoy delicious food and refreshments, and catch the winning fever after hours at the popular “Night at the Races.” Let the gardeners of the family buy their fall mums while the would-be pitchers try their arms at the dunk tank. Everyone will enjoy a shaded seating area but only those who enter can win the $25,000 grand prize at the Big Bucks drawing at 10pm.
“The parish also uses the day to showcase all the great work it does,” continues Crinnion. “Our Parish Ministries tent highlights many of the organizations and charitable work the parish is involved in. We punctuate that community spirit at 5pmwhen we celebrate Mass outdoors. It’s a really special moment that reminds us of why we are here and all that we have to be thankful for.”
The Church of St. Anne in Garden City hosts the 11th annual Spirit Day this Saturday, September 14, 2013 from 1-10pm with rides, games and music all day and evening. A beautiful celebration of Mass outdoors takes place at 5pm and the exciting Big Bucks Raffle drawing is at 10pm.
