A dinner of Schnitzel and red cabbage, music by the ministry band Acclamation Nation, draws and door prizes – the annual Oktoberfest at Holy Martyrs of Japan Catholic Church drew a full house on Saturday evening.
The event, organized by Raymond Reitzel’s Youth Ministry, was a fundraiser for two youth programs at the church. The Edge is a program for kids in grades 6 through 8; Lifeteen is for high school students in grades 9 to 12.
Families came out to show their support, and enjoy the evening. Ein prosit!
