On the front lawn of the historic home that houses the Parish rectory, overlooking the scenic Ohio River, members of Wellsville's Immaculate Conception Catholic Church held their annual Parish Picnic yesterday, August 16. Two huge tents were set up to shade participants that weren't not able to get space under the trees. It was hot and sunny, a beautiful day for a picnic.
From what I could see a good number of parishioners attended and each one of them must have brought two or three dishes of food with them. It was a bountiful feast for all to share. John Monte, shown above in the tan cap, once again brought his snow cone machine and with the heat he was kept busy.
Pictured in his Wellsville orange tee-shirt is the parish priest, Rev. Peter Haladej. That last name is pronounced "holiday". Fr. Peter is a Slovakian native and has been in the States for 12 years. He was ordained a priest seven years ago and the diocese has him splitting time between Wellsville & East Liverpool. He's a busy man.
It looked like everyone enjoyed themselves. You can relax now Mary...
