MASS IN THE GRASS & PARISH BBQ
This great parish event started in September 2019, and is held annually out on the field by the pavilion. The normally scheduled Saturday 5 p.m. Mass is held out on the field, and then the parish Men's Club serves up a great dinner!

ADVENT BY CANDLELIGHT
This is a meaningful event open to all adult women of the parish and their friends, and is held during Advent in O'Brien Hall. An inspiring speaker gives a reflection, and each group is encouraged to decorate their table and bring some great food and drink to share. This is a great mini-retreat for women in the midst of what can be a hectic time of year. More information will be in the bulletin in the late fall regarding this event.

FISH FRYS
Held on Friday evenings during Lent in O'Brien Hall.

PANCAKE BREAKFAST
A pancake/sausage breakfast is held twice a year-usually the second Sunday in December, and the second Sunday in February. The breakfast is held after the
9 a.m. Mass and offers parishioners an opportunity to socialize, meet each other, and enjoy good food. Gordon Hartweger, Jr. is the chairperson and is always looking for volunteers.

TRIVIA NIGHTS
The Parish Men's club hosts two trivia nights for the St. Richard community each year, including Pop Culture Trivia and Music Trivia! It's always a great event for parishioners and friends to spend an evening together in some friendly competition.

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS BINGO NIGHTS
The joint KofC Council between St. Richard and St. Monica hosts a few Bingo nights in O'Brien Hall throughout the year, and we hope that you can join us.

HOLIDAY BOUTIQUE
Held on a Saturday during Advent in O'Brien Hall, and features a large assortment of vendors, including some great local ones. It's a great chance to get your shopping done in one spot, and support small businesses, too.
