Spaghetti Dinner!

Posted on by Judy Rynkewicz

On Saturday, November 8, the Knights of Columbus are hosting one of our legendary Spaghetti Dinners for all parishioners and their families after the 4 p.m. Mass.

So please come and join your fellow parishioners for a delicious dinner in the Great Hall. We will be serving spaghetti with homemade sauce, meatballs, sausages, rolls, salad, desserts, and hot and cold beverages. And you can even bring your own adult beverage to accompany your meal.

It’s always a great time filled with food and fellowship. So come out and enjoy the evening with us.

Tickets are available at our table in the Gathering Space after all Masses on November 1 and 2. Ticket prices are $15 for an individual ticket, $25 for a ‘Couples’ ticket, or $35 for a family ticket.  We will accept cash, check or credit card. Tickets paid by credit card are slightly higher.  As usual, all net proceeds from the event will be donated to a local charity.

We hope to see you there!

Last Chance Mass

Posted on by Judy Rynkewicz

You can still make Mass! Bring the weekend to a blessed close with 7 p.m. Sunday evening Mass at St. David the King.

Gez Ford, our Faith Formation Coordinator, has taken the reins of our Sunday 7 p.m. Mass music ministry, infusing the “Last Chance Mass” with a more contemporary, youth-oriented praise style that will uplift and inspire all generations.

Parish Picnic

Posted on by Judy Rynkewicz

We are excited to see everyone at the picnic this Sunday! Over 550 people signed up to attend! 

Just a couple of notes for all who are attending the picnic:
  • Please give any desserts you bring with you to one of our teen custodians who will have carts in the gathering space as you enter for 10:30 a.m. Mass.
  • We are very excited to have so many parishioners in attendance this year! If you would like to help defray the cost of this year’s picnic, (the cost per person is approximately $30) St. David’s would appreciate any free will offering you would like to make. Please click the link below if you are so inclined. Thank you so much for your generosity.

Important Parish Census

Posted on by Judy Rynkewicz

It has been 10 years since our last census, and having accurate, up-to-date registration is more important than ever. These records help us serve you better—and they also assist the diocese in discussions around parish mergers and clergy assignments. Your participation directly impacts the future of our parish community.

Last weekend (April 26/27), we distributed Parish Census Packets at all Masses. We ask that you return your completed census form by Sunday, May 11 so we can update our records. If you did not pick up a packet, they will still be available this weekend in the gathering space. If you are homebound and cannot pick up the packet, please contact the Parish Office at 609.275.7111. Thank you for taking the time to be counted and stay connected!

The card is the ONLY item you need to complete and return by May 11th.

You can return it in one of three easy ways:
  • Drop it off at the parish office,
  • Place it in the collection basket at Mass, or
  • Mail it to the parish office.
To help us update our records accurately, here are three important points to remember when completing your card:
  1. Religion Category:
    Please do not simply write “Catholic.” Instead, indicate your Rite. Most will be “Latin Rite” Catholics, but others may be Syro-Malabar, Ukrainian, etc. If you’re unsure, “Latin” is most likely correct! If someone in your household is not catholic then please indicate what faith community they affiliate with.
  2. Family Name and Household Members:
    • Please list a clear Family Name at the top of the card — this helps us organize families, especially since we are blessed with 19 vibrant ethnic communities and not everyone follows the custom of a shared surname.
    • When listing individuals in the household, please include last names for any members whose surname differs from the Family Name listed at the top.
  3. One Card Per Household:
    • A single card should cover you, your spouse, and any children under the age of 25.
    • Children who are 25 or older must register separately with their own card — even if they currently live at home still or are in a “quasi-domicile” situation, (such as being away at college or serving in the military while maintaining your home as their primary residence).
    • If they live permanently elsewhere, encourage them to register at their local parish — registering them here would unfortunately make them automatically “inactive.” (Meaning we cannot supply any letter stating they are in good standing should they be asked to serve as a Godparent, confirmation sponsor, etc.)
PLEASE NOTE: Include a good email address at the bottom of the card.
Please know: completing this census card truly matters.
Our parish has grown and changed beautifully over the last decade! Updating our records allows us to minister more effectively to your needs. It also directly influences important diocesan decisions — including conversations around parish mergers, closures, and priest assignments.
In short: filling out this little card can make a big difference for the future of Saint David the King!
If you have any questions or need help filling out your card, don’t hesitate to contact us. We’re happy to assist!
Thank you for your joyful commitment to our parish family.
Let’s keep moving forward together in Christ!
In Christ,
Fr. Jason
