Our picnic upstate is this summer’s “Parish Family Day”, in Rockland County. Bishop Joseph will celebrate Mass at the park in the morning. The ticket includes food and drinks prepared by the park staff, plus the use of pools and sports fields: $65 for ages 14+, $25 for ages 5-13, free for younger kids, and $20 to ride a bus from here. The tickets are available in the back of church after Mass and in the office during the week. That’s the exact price we’ll pay the park for a day together as a family; it won’t raise money for the parish.
