My Dear Parishioners of St. Padre Pio Parish,
First and foremost, thank you so much for generosity and support over the past few months. Due to your financial gifts and with the help of the Federal Government’s Paycheck Protection Program, St. Padre Pio Parish was able to keep our heads above water since mid-March.
Now we have the daunting task of holding our 19th Annual St. Padre Pio Festival on September 27, 2020 with social distancing and health precautions in mind. When the crisis first hit, the Festival Committee decided to act quickly and try and get approval for a modified 50/50 raffle with charging only $1 a ticket. The hope was that approval would come sometime in June 2020 and we would be able to start selling tickets over the summer. Unfortunately, due to the state shutdown, our approval arrived in mid-August. We need your help now more than ever! So please be as generous as your situation will allow!
We will be holding our annual 50/50 Raffle on Sunday, September 27, 2020. The drawing will take place during the festival at 4 PM. Tickets are $1 each and are based on a percentage of the total tickets sold as follows:
1st Prize = 17.5%
2nd Prize = 10.0%
3rd Prize = 6.25%
4th Prize = 5.00%
5th Prize = 3.75%
6th Prize = 2.50%
7th Prize = 1.25%
8th Prize = 1.25%
9th Prize = 1.25%
10th Prize = 1.25%
Thank you for completing the online order form. Please send your payment to the parish office as soon as possible. When your order form is processed, we will return an unofficial copy of your tickets for your records. The originals will be safeguarded at the parish until the time of the drawing.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact the parish office at (856) 691-7526 at any time.
Thank you for your generosity and continued support of our parish and the festival!
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Father Robert L. Sinatra, J.C.L.
Pastor
