This year will be with Bishop Neary, so if you haven't met the Bishop yet a nice opportunity to see him.  The date of September 7th actually falls on our Feast Day of St. Cloud.  That's the day we celebrate the saint who the city is named after.

Pogatchnik says this is the church's largest fundraiser of the year with the money staying in the downtown.

Our downtown mission.  There has been increasing pressure in needs, anything from mental health to homelessness, to other things.  St. Mary's Cathedral is a downtown pillar.  We want to serve that community directly.

He says the Immaculate IPA that he helped create with Pantown Brewing will be back again this year.
