On February 15, 2009, our parish celebrated Father Rudy’s 51st birthday. In leiu of personal gifts, Father Rudy requested monetary donations for the Capital Expenditure Fund. All of our parish organizations contributed to the cost of the party so that all of the money collected would be deposited directly in to the Capital Expenditure Fund – therefore, making this a true fundraiser. Prior to the party, Father Rudy had the pleasure of riding his favorite horse “Indio”. Dinner was served, presentations were made, and everyone enjoyed birthday cake.
