Church to hold annual St. Mary's Day

St. Mary’s Parish of Clarendon, the oldest active parish in the Texas Panhandle, will be hosting its fourth annual St. Mary’s Day on Sunday, September 9, from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on the church grounds at the corner of Montgomery and McClelland Streets. 

A mouth-watering, mesquite barbecued beef dinner with all the trimmings will be served along with musical entertainment, country store items, and a quilt raffle. Tickets for the meal are $6 for adults and $3.50 for children under the age of 9. Take out meals will also be available.

This celebration serves as a time to recognize the history of the church as well as a fundraiser for a much needed parish hall. For tickets or more information about the event, contact Leon Church at (806) 874-2926.

St. Mary’s Day brings people from far and wide. Make this a time to dine with family and friends while supporting the efforts of St. Mary’s Parish.
