Catholic fundraiser a great success

Friends and families gathered at the San Juan County Fairgrounds Lion’s Club Building on Saturday evening for a fundraiser event for the new church building at the St Josephs Catholic Church.
An estimated 450 people turned out in support of this event.
Said Bernie Christensen, “I have never seen or felt so much love from the community”
While the expected number of people that attended was far beyond their plans, those that were in attendance had a great evening of visiting with friends and family as they patiently waited for their food while the kitchen staff hurriedly did all they could to accommodate the crowd.
The patience of those in attendance, and the donations made in exchange for a delicious enchilada dinner accounted for a great success of more than doubling their goal of $2,400, making the total received a little over $5,000!
Congratulations Monticello and surrounding area for coming together in support of the Catholic church building and sharing a social evening together.
