SYCAMORE--As warmer days approach, it means garage sale season is right around the corner. But you don’t have to wait for a nice day or drive all over for some good finds! Stop by St. Mary’s in Sycamore Flea Market on Saturday, April 7. Not only will you find some treasures you will be supporting a wonderful cause. Proceeds from this event will go towards St. Mary’s Youth Ministry 2018 Summer Mission trip.

“We would like to invite you to join our teens and our vendors for a day of shopping fun!  The Parish Activity Center will be filled with antiques, housewares, unique gadgets, holiday decor, baked goods, and much more,” explained Carolyne Schoen, St. Mary’s Youth Minister.
