It's being billed as the greatest Catholic Bazaar and Raffle ever, but you need to judge it for yourself.

St. Cecilia Catholic Church's fair will be moving to the Cultural and Heritage Site, Arawak Cay to accommodate the size of the event, set for Saturday, Feb. 2 from 12 noon until ... well ... you say when.

With Junkanoo performances lots of music, food, games, pony rides and a bouncing castle, you just have to be there, because there's something for everyone — adults, kids, and grownups who don't want to act their age.

This event is the church's main fundraiser, from which proceeds go towards assisting with paying off its mortgage.

"The church, has been around for 50 years and we have had a bazaar every year. But this one is special as it is our largest ever," says event chairperson Sophia Rolle. she said. "And as expected we have lots in store for you.

"Performing will be Colors Junkanoo Group, Sting, The Aquinas Band and many others that will be a surprise. And this year we even have a full kids craft corner with tons of activities to do and items to make."

With a target goal of $75,000, Rolle says they will really need the public's support.

"The church is, and will always need the support of the community to operate," she said. "And the money doesn't go to anyone's pocket it goes to the church. We have been working extremely hard to make this event a success but it cannot be [a success] without the public."

For a mere $1.00, you can purchase a raffle ticket to take a chance at winning one of 17 trips to places such as San Francisco, Cuba, Atlanta, Mexico, and Miami. The drawing will be held on the day of the bazaar.

Tickets for the raffle can be purchased on site during the bazaar on Saturday, or from the church's main building. For more information contact the church at 322-5579.
