Every year a BBQ and Mass is held as a thank-you for all the work done by Volunteers at the Kitchen and JMJ.  In September of 2007 a big celebration occurred with a Mass at the beautiful grounds of Shaffer Park.  The park is situated near a creek with an incredible natural cathedral of trees—perfect for a Mass. 

After the Mass a BBQ was served by the Board of Directors.  Games, hiking and other activities crowned the beautiful day.
