Patti and Kit Kirby, co-chairs of the St. Irenaeus Church 2019 Fall Fiesta, announced at all masses on Saturday, August 10 and Sunday, August 11 that the Fiesta Committee will be collecting ticket sales returns and stubs for opportunities to win cash prizes the following week. Buena Park resident Hala Hana saw the Kirbys after the 9:45 mass on August 11 and was ready to respond. She became the first person to turn her ticket sales money and stubs in for the chance to win the cash prizes. She said that she sold all her tickets to her family, friends and coworkers. She said that even if she did not win any cash, she just wanted to help the church out in whatever way she could. The Kirbys hope that all St. Irenaeus parishioners will sell all their tickets just as Hana did to make the Fiesta a success.

There are still many volunteers needed to man the different game and food booths. Help is also needed to set up the booths before and after the Fiesta. Persons interested in volunteering to help at the Fiesta on September 20, 21 or 22, please contact Patti and Kit Kirby at 714-739-0463 for more information.
