75th birthday party in the works

A committee from both schools has been formed to plan a 75th Birthday Party next summer for the 1968 graduating classes of Dunkirk and Cardinal Mindszenty High Schools. At a recent meeting the committee agreed to hold the “75th Birthday Bash” on Saturday, Aug. 9 at the Post 62 American Legion in Dunkirk.

The committee will meet again to work on details on Jan. 8 at Post 62. Classmates who would like to be involved are urged to attend.

For more information or to offer ideas or suggestions contact John Scott (DHS) at 716-338-3382 or Mary Moldenhauer Gier (CMHS) at 716-498-8850.

Can drive planned for Saturday

The Blessed Mary Angela Holy Name Society will hold a can drive from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday in St. Hedwig’s Roberts Road parking lot. All funds raised will be used to help with the preservation of historical and religious artifacts when the Diocese of Buffalo closes St. Hedwig church in 2025.

Those funds will be used by the Parish Holy Name Society to preserve a part of Dunkirk Polonia. St. Hedwig’s opened in 1902.
