St. Maurice 50th anniversary
1960/2010

50th

The year 2010, marks the 50th anniversary of St. Maurice Church. Archbishop Vigneron has accepted our invitation to celebrate our 50th anniversary Mass on Saturday, September 11, 2010 at 6:00 p.m. This will be followed by our annual Parish Picnic on Sunday, September 12.


In order to coordinate activities during the year to make the celebration everything that it can be, we are organizing a 50th Anniversary Committee. Although chaired by Yvonne Nehmeth, we are seeking you to assist in whatever way you can, utilizing your talents, skills and ideas. For example, collecting old photos of events and activities from our parish life.

If you would like to volunteer or just have something that would make this year special, please contact Yvonne at 734-425-8011 or the rectory office, 734-522-161
