Rehearsal and Cinco de Mayo

Cinco de Mayo - a good reason for a party. Schedule on May 6: Bell choir rehearsal - 5:30 to 7 p.m., Party 7 to 8 p.m., Parish choir rehearsal 8 to 9:30 p.m., food and drinks unlimited. Our personal chef Joseph Schmidt (www.joeythechef.com) once again delighted our palate with chicken and beef enchilladas and the very best strawberry margaritas. Hmmm.
