New Fields Dedication

On Sunday was the dedication of the fields

at the Roth Complex south of Papillion.

Before Fr. Damian sprinkled holy water as part of the dedication, he joked that God seemed to be sprinkling some holy water of his own with "the first rain since the Festival." Many of our youth representing Scouting and the athletic teams were on hand for the event.

The complex was "named" for Bob and Barb Roth in

recognition for all the work they have done.

The football and soccer field were named for the Knights of Columbus who were supportive of the project from the start. The Geis Intramural Soccer Fields were named to recognize all of the work Tim Geis has put into the project. The Baseball/Softball Field is named for Bill McKay who has worked so hard for so long to make this a reality.
