Great weather and a great cause drew many community members to raise awareness, generate support for anti-crime programs, and enhance community-police relationships. Food, Rides, Games, DJ, demonstrations and giveaways were part of the event. We thank our parishioner Christine Murphy, member of Woodland Park Municipal Alliance, for being a liaison for our parish’s participation. Also we thank Claire Centrella, Dominick Bucci, Malissa Betancur, Renata, Michael and Natalie Cyman who were helping to collect nonperishable food items and distributed flyers for our upcoming social events.
