Use the 2-out-of-3 Rule: If you’re not vaccinated, make sure your activity meets two out of the following three conditions: outdoors, distanced and masked.
Outdoors + Distanced = No Mask Needed
Outdoors + No Distance = Mask Needed
Not Outdoors + Distanced = Mask Needed
If you stop to have an extended conversation with someone who isn’t vaccinated, masks are recommended. Even outdoors, your risk of breathing someone else’s air increases the longer and closer you stand to them.

It's an awesome event where our parish community comes together to raise money for our youth ministry and watch a cow do its thing! Cow Patty BINGO 2021 is on Saturday June 12th. People are welcome to set up their chairs as early as 5:00pm, and most of the action will kick off at 6:00pm when the cow arrives. There will be a live band, games, a petting zoo, and food and beverage sales. It's sure to be fun for everyone! Even if you aren't participating in the BINGO part of the night, come on down to enjoy the festivities!
Why BINGO?
A section of the field measuring 100 ft. x 125 ft. will be split into a grid of 5 ft. x 5 ft. squares, like a giant BINGO card. Each square will be randomly labeled with a number from 1 to 500.
I'm a little afraid to ask...but why PATTY?
At 6:00pm the guest of honor, a cow, will be led into the designated grid area by a handler and allowed to roam free within the fenced-in giant BINGO card. When the guest of honor deposits its first “cow patty” in the grid, the participant whose square is adorned with the dung is declared the winner of Cow Patty BINGO!
What if it rains on our Cow Patty Parade?
In the event of rain, we will move the concert to the Parish Center and the delicious tacos to the Cafeteria. If the cow is still up to it, we plan to livestream the grand prize event on the parish Facebook page! If not, we will resort to a raffle. Come to think of it, we might livestream the cow, rain or shine, just for fun! Look out for that around 6:15 pm, and here’s the link to our parish page: https://www.facebook.com/stjoemanchester
