Patterson Civic Organization’s 2018 Annual MLK Celebration will be held at 9:30 a.m. Monday at St. Luke Baptist Church in Patterson with the Rev. Keith Verret Sr. officiating.

This year’s theme is “Community: The Art of Coming Together!” Guest speaker will be Arlanda Williams, owner of Rosemary’s Soul Food Kitchen and a Terrebonne Parish councilwoman. A march and parade of church vans to Cherry Street Park will immediately follow the service.

Churches across St. Mary Parish are asked to enter its church van as a sign of unity in the community.
