E. Carroll
Joyner Park, 701 Harris Road
Families of the SEASHELL Contrada are
invited to gather at E. Carroll Joyner Park on May 23. This will be the

to bring a picnic lunch (including drinks, no alcohol), lawn chairs or
blankets, games to share (frisbee, croquet, etc). Look for us on the
hill close to the restrooms. We will have a blue flag with a SEASHELL
to identify our Contrada. The reason for having a Contrada in our
community (Church) is to organize our large and growing parish into
smaller neighborhood groups, making it easier for parishioners to form
relationships and to get more involved. For more information, please
