The St. Augustine/St. Joseph Mission Commission will host their summer fundraiser, the Annual Garage Sale, on July 21 to 23, and will also be selling their new cookbook at the garage sale.

The best of the best cookbook was published to share the wonderful recipes of our members and inform people of our history and the activities and organizations the Mission Commission supports during the year. We feel it will be a great fundraiser for us and thank everyone for once again supporting us in our cause to reach out to those who need it most.
The cookbooks will be sold at our annual garage sale held and Minster K of C Hall on July 21, 5-9 p.m., July 22, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., and July 23, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. They are also available at the following locations in Minster: Heritage Manor, Doggy Day Spa, J.J.

The St. Augustine/St. Joseph Mission Commission has 75 active and energetic members. The Annual Garage Sale at the Minster K of C Hall is supported by generous donations of clothing and household goods from the community. The monies generated from this sale help to fund the Mission Commission's various projects throughout the year. All items not sold are donated to Agape Ministries and St. Vincent de Paul. The objective of the Mission Commission is to reach out to the community through volunteers who have been faithful to God's call to look past themselves in sharing of their time and resources with those who need it most. Through generous donations from the parishioners, the Mission Commission is able to assist many people and organizations through various programs. Some of these include: Sidney Soup Kitchen, Bingo at Heritage Manor Nursing Center, Thanksgiving food drive, Christmas baskets and the Angel Program.
