Another Great Parish Carnival

At St Rose

To the Editor:

On behalf of Saint Rose Parish, I want to thank everyone who supported and attended our Annual Parish Carnival. We were truly blessed with great weather, incredible parish volunteers, and a dedicated group of men and women who coordinated the event for us.

The presence of the Newtown Police Department and the Newtown Hook & Ladder Company gave a feeling of safety and security to our volunteers and guests. We are especially blessed by the number of local business and individuals who sponsor our carnival for us. Their support and generosity makes all the difference.
