St. Mary plans
Mardi Gras party

St. Mary Church will host its Mardi Gras party Feb. 13.

"From the Twelfth Night to Fat Tuesday, revelers celebrate good food, drink and fun before giving it all up for Lent, the 40-day period of fasting and reflection before Easter," says Gerry Thornlow, Mardi Gras chairperson. "For Catholics, the Mardi Gras celebration is serious business and St. Mary Catholic Church is promising a serious party."

The black tie-optional ball will feature Monte Carlo-style games, sideboard raffles, a silent auction, and a live auction boasting items that can't be found anywhere else.

New this year are slot machines and a Texas Hold'em Tournament ($200 entry fee with a $1,000 cash prize). Revelers will play to win prize bundles worth more than $1,000.

Heavy appetizers catered by Moe's Restaurant and wine will add to the evening, which benefits the St. Mary LIFE TEEN Youth Ministry program.

The program's goal is to lead teens closer to Christ through the Eucharist, fellowship and faith sharing. The Mardi Gras Gala will help fund retreats, social outings, and service projects.

The party starts at 7 p.m.; tickets are $70/person. Festive beads of purple (justice), green (faith), and gold (power) are encouraged.
