st boniface
The St. Boniface Guild is made up of the women and men of our parish. They are divided into three circles, St. Matthew, St. Mark, and St. Luke. Funeral dinners are served by a guild group on a rotating basis. Each guild circle has a chairperson, a co-chairperson and a group of parish members who work together when they are called. The co-chair steps into the position of chairperson of the circle the following year and finds a new co-chair to assist them.
Chair and Co-Chairs for 2025 are:- St. Matthew Circle: Michele Boji, Julie Rausch,
- St. Mark Circle: Betty Bynon and Diane Brown,
- St. Luke Circle: Diane Kellogg and Barb Sinwell.
All three circles help with our annual Salad Supper, which is held in the Spring. They also assist with a lunch, bake sale and “garage sale” that takes place in our church hall in conjunction with Ionia Days in August.
The Executive Committee for 2024:- President: Sandy Clark
- Vice President: Jan Koenigsfeld
- Secretary: Shirley Hoffman

An annual parish festival collection is taken up in lieu of an actual festival.
