From Dis and Dat to Gumbo Ya Ya is the
theme of the 2016 Mardi Gras Ball. Gumbo
Ya Ya means a blend of many to make one
and that is how gumbo and many New
Orleans foods came about. Herbs, spices,
and favorite foods from many cultures
united as one and came up with some
awesome cuisine. Let’s make some Gumbo
Ya Ya by coming together as one with the
time and talents He gave us to make this
Mardi Gras the biggest and best ever!
Call Shelia at 770.962.0520 or Elizabeth at
the parish office at 770.867.4876 for more
information.
