Arnold Schwarzenegger, his wife Maria Shriver and their daughter will be their church’s “honorary chair family” for a benefit this fall.
The star of such action thriller films as “Total Recall,” “Terminator” and “Conan the Barbarian” will help promote the Oktoberfest at St. Monica’s Catholic Church in Santa Monica, Monsignor Lloyd Torgerson said Thursday.
“We are very grateful to the Schwarzenegger family, who are parishioners to our parish, to participate in our event as the honorary chair family,” said Torgerson, the pastor.
Other celebrities who said they will attend include Meredith Baxter-Birney, Lou Ferrigno, Paul Michael Glaser and Cindy Williams.
The 10th annual Oktoberfest, beginning Oct. 5, is a three-day fund-raiser to benefit St. Monica’s parish, parish schools and local outreach programs for the homeless.
