Some say the the first picnic was held in 1890. With dinners reportedly costing $.25.
The parish held a 2-day picnic in 1954, but it was decided after that, to hold it to only one day, and since that time the picnic has been set annually on the last Saturday in July.

Old fashioned country dinner consisting of fried chicken, chicken and dumplings, kettle beef, potatoes, green beans, corn, fresh garden vegetables, homemade breads and desserts .... isn't your mouth watering just thinking about it?
All-You-Can-Eat Self-Serve Buffet
Serving between 3:00 and 7:00 pm.
Adults $15.00 -- Children 6-15 $8.00

This year will be the 9th Annual Leopold Picnic Antique Tractor Ride.
Leaving the KC Hall at 10:00 a.m.

The historic fish pond, other games and face painting will occupy the kids so the adults can visit with friends and neighbors.

Don't forget about dessert! The passed on recipe of that creamy and bursting with vanilla flavor homemade ice cream is a must have!
New in 2025, you may pre-order by 1/2 gallon or gallon of this traditional recipe to take home!

Every year, our Church Picnic is so much more than a single day of celebration. It is a tradition lovingly passed from one generation to the next—a reflection of the faith, generosity, and hardworking spirit that has always defined our parish family!
Each handmade quilt, stitched towel, crocheted keepsake, painted sign, jar of homemade goodness, baked treat, and handcrafted treasure tells a story. They are gifts of time, talent, and love that remind us of those who came before us and inspire those who will carry these traditions into the future.
