Spring Luncheon & Wedding Gown Fashion Show, May 8

The Library Committee is sponsoring a Spring Luncheon & Wedding Gown Fashion Show to be held on Saturday, May 8th at 12:30 p.m. in the parish hall. This exciting event will feature wedding dresses worn by women of St. James’ Parish throughout the years.

Luncheon tickets are $25 and will be on sale at the Coffee Hours. The luncheon menu will include chicken salad, cranberry jello salad, deviled eggs, dessert and more. Wine will be available for sale. There will be door prizes as well. You will see wedding gowns, mother of the bride outfits, flower girl and ring bearer outfits from the past and present modeled by young members from St. James' Parish. The oldest gown dates from 1878.

A new wedding gown priced at $1,000 will be given away; the classic satin off-white dress with a V-neck and train and a satin crown are decorated with beads and pearls. Tickets at $10 for a drawing will be sold.

Proceeds from the event will benefit the St. James’ Parish Capital Campaign. Please join us!
