Weller Picnic

A few years ago, the St. Mary’s Church in Weller held its annual picnic on he feast of the Assumption, August 15th.  The church has now been closed for many years but its’ spirit is still alive.  A few years ago, a few individuals with Weller ties decided to once again plan a yearly picnic.  This year’s event will be on Saturday, July 30th.  The gathering will begin in the morning with a dinner of pork loin, brats, bread, pasta salad, beans, and soft drinks to be served at 11:30 am.  Following dinner, there will be an afternoon of fellowship and entertainment.  There will also be a raffle of many unique prizes during the afternoon.  All who have been touched by the Weller Community are invited.  Jim McGinn, one of the hosts, hopes to see you there.
