June 17, 2023 3:44 am

The Catholic Partnership Parishes of St. James in Western Washington County and St. Katharine Drexel in Southeastern Washington County are hosting a series of outreach and social programs this summer.  The events planned include bi-weekly “Eat n Pray in the Park” on Thursday evenings at community parks around the county, featuring scriptural and spiritual talks as well as cookouts.  The parishes are also hosting “Up In Holy Smoke,” a fellowship event to learn and share in the basics of cigar smoking, with donations benefiting JFK Catholic grade school.   They are also hosting the “Holy Wheels Ministry Car Show” three times this summer–the first one happening today at 4:00 p.m. at St. Hilary Church on Henderson Avenue in Washington.  The event will include a blessing of the cars at 5:30 p.m., followed by a car show until 7:30 p.n., plus food, a DJ, and a 50/50 raffle.
