CROCODILE DOCK
Thank You!!! This year, Crocodile Dock rocked down at the Bayou at Holy Family and everyone was 'swamped' with fun during the week of our Vacation Bible School. The success of the week long program can only happen with the many helping hands that pitch in for this event. We would like to thank you for your helping hands which include donations of items and prayer. A special thank you to Lisa Nieters and Michelle Bryant co-coordinators, Sam Hebert our Pre-school leader along with 90+ volunteers. What a great way to have started the summer by bringing our children closer to God and their faith.
