What is FallFest?

FallFest is the largest social event in our Parish, occurring the first Saturday in October each year. It's an opportunity to gather as a Church Family, invite our friends in the community, and work and play together to raise monies for our Building Fund.

What's the Winner's Choice Raffle?

Pick up your raffle tickets in the foyer after Mass or the office during the week. The Winner’s Choice Raffle Grand Prize winner gets to choose amongst 5 ways to spend $5,000, plus there are 5 other great prizes! Grab your tickets in the foyer. Buy raffle tickets for yourself. Sell them to friends, neighbors & co-workers.
Get your raffle ticket stubs turned in by 1:30 on Sunday, Sept 30th for a chance in the Early Bird Drawing for $250 in gasoline, sponsored by Dr. Joseph Brock, Clinical Audiologist.

Underwriting Support

We want to have all costs of FallFest covered before the gates open…this ensures all event proceeds go toward debt service or to support special projects in the building fund. We need your financial assistance as a FallFest sponsor! Call us!

Soft Drinks - we need 'em! Bring a twelve pack (cans/plastic bottles) to the office during the week or to the foyer at weekend masses - mix and match your favorites - we also need bottled water - this is how we provide beverage service at the event!
