Parish Homecoming Festival
Sunday, August 9, 2020
Due to the uncertain times, we will be scaling back our 2020 Parish Homecoming Festival.
The revised Festival format will be a Drive-Thru and Online-Raffle.
Below are details of the few selected activities that we've decided can be safely held this year.
We sincerely appreciate your support in these activities as this will help raise much needed income since our festival will not be held in its entirety
Stay tuned for further details.
For Questions or to Volunteer to help with the Festival, please contact:
