We are pleased to announce that our exciting Whale Watching Cruise WILL happen this year. Deacon Steve has graciously offered to host it. Tickets for the raffle are now on sale for $100 each (and winning tickets will each be good for 2 people). Please be aware that only 100 tickets are available for this raffle, so don't wait to get yours. The raffle drawing will be held when all 100 tickets are sold. Winners will be notified. Deacon Steve will then set up a mutually agreeable date and time for the cruise with the winners. All proceeds from the sale of the tickets will go to the Cathedral Renovation Fund. For further information and/or to purchase your raffle ticket(s), please call the Parish Office at 586-1513.
The annual state-wide fundraiser raffle that provides funding to the Knights of Columbus councils in the state is under way. Raffle tickets sell for $25 each. Our local Juneau council (Archbishop Seghers Council 1790) has committed $10 to the Cathedral Renovation Fund from every ticket sold, so every raffle ticket purchased will help that project. This year's Grand prize is $15,000 with 10 additional runner-up prizes of $1,000 each. The winning tickets will be drawn and announced on December 11, 2021. And to make it even more exciting, ALL tickets purchased prior to Labor Day (September 6) will be eligible for entry into an early-bird drawing for one of FIVE $500 prizes. The good news is that if you DO win one of those prizes, you will still be included in the final drawing on December 11 for the Grand prize. This is a great way for you to help the parish with our vital project of renovating our cathedral building while still maintaining its heritage. By the way, if you decide to help even more by selling raffle tickets, then there's a bonus. The top three sellers will each get $500, and the seller of the ticket that wins the Grand prize will get $500. For further information and to purchase your ticket(s), contact Jim Rogers at 907-780-4918 or juneaujim@outlook.com or anyone selling the tickets after Masses. Good luck to everyone who buys a ticket. At least 11 of you will be glad you did.
