The Crosier Guild gathers for fellowship and Barbeque

The Crosier Guild held a Mass and barbecue dinner at St. Joseph Parish in Cold Spring to build community among its members. Bishop John Iffert and Father Andrew Young, the pastor of St. Joseph, celebrated the Mass for the group.

The Guild recognizes donors who have given $1,000 or more to the Diocesan Parish Annual Appeal for at least seven years, whether those years were consecutive or not. Jennifer Cox, the secretary for the Office of Stewardship and Mission Services, said the gatherings are intended for fellowship.

The group welcomed 76 new households this year, bringing the total number of Guild households to 816.
