St. Mary plans
Mardi Gras party

"For Catholics, the Mardi Gras celebration is serious business and St. Mary Catholic Church is promising a serious party."

The black tie-optional ball will feature Monte Carlo-style games, sideboard raffles, a silent auction, and a live auction boasting items that can't be found anywhere else. New this year are slot machines and a Texas Hold'em Tournament ($200 entry fee with a $1,000 cash prize). Revelers will play to win prize bundles worth more than $1,000.

The event benefits the St. Mary LIFE TEEN Youth Ministry program.

The party starts at 7 p.m.; tickets are $70/person. Festive beads are encouraged.
