Roy Rogers Spirit Night Our Lady Star of the Sea Catholic Church Solomons, Maryland Dear OLSS Parishioners, We call ourselves a Eucharistic Community, and so we are. The word means Thanksgiving and each time we celebrate Mass, The Eucharist, we give thanks to God for His love and forgiveness. Today, I want to express our collective Thanks to all of you who worked so hard and so generously to make the Father Alexander Gala a tremendous success. The organizing committee, chaired by Mary Ann Dale and composed of Julie Losh, Cindy Joy, Dave and Debby Spigler, Peggy Clark, and adjunct members Barbara Sewell, Colleen Muldoon, Sue Mann and Rich Anderson. In addition, so many individuals offered their time and talent both in the Rectory, the School and from the Parish. The Knights of Columbus, the Men's Group, The Home and School Association all participated. Several businesses and individuals offered their financial support: Jan Kleponis from O'Brien Realty, Dave Spigler from Century 21, Medart Galleries in Dunkirk, Reel Good Home Improvements in Lusby, Port of Call Wine and Spirits, Angie Rivera from Long and Foster, Back Creek Inn, The Dale Family Foundation, Spiggy and Friends, Mr. and Mrs. Douglas Alves, Deacon and Mrs. Bob Connelly, Deacon and Mrs. Chris Jensen, Mr and Mrs. Joseph Suarez-Murias, Mr. and Mrs. Peter Stephanak, Mr. and Mrs. Dan Walent, Mr. and Mrs. Thurmond Wilkinson Jr., Stephanie McConnell, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Meidenbauer, and Mr. and Mrs. Fred Callan.
