The Holy Apostles Parish held a parish picnic on Saturday, Sept. 17, at Our Lady of the Lake Church in Halifax. There was fun for all ages with a jumpy house and lawn games, Clowns from South Shore Joeys created balloon animals and offered face painting. Adding a little oompah to the event was the Canton based Double Eagle Octoberfest German Band performing while parishioners dined on grilled items and the popular BBQ chicken dinner.
Fried dough and freshly popped popcorn was a treat enjoyed by many. The stage at the Our Lady of Lake Church Parish Hall was lined with raffle baskets. The hall also had a selection of baked goods and a rummage sale items.
Our Lady of the Lake Church in Halifax and St. Joseph the Worker Church in Hanson officially merged in February of 2021 to create Holy Apostles Parish. Both churches have retained their individual names.
