Welcome to  St. Virgil Parish

All children of the parish - ages 3 to 12 - are invited to use their imagination and create an Easter egg to celebrate the joy of the Resurrection of Jesus.  Eggs can be made from any material: traditional hard-boiled eggs, plastic eggs, modeling clay, papier mâché, wooden ovals, or whatever materials appeal. The eggs can be decorated in any design and with any materials desired. All entries should be submitted to the parish office by Friday, April 11 and will be displayed in the church.  Prizes will be awarded at the 9 AM Easter Sunday Mass.
