Ethnic Fest

Our first-ever Parish Ethnic Fest was a huge success.  We were overwhelmed with a crowd and ran out of food quite early, but it was a delightful afternoon.  The Parish Hall was filled with beautifully-decorated booths and wonderful aroma of culinary specialties.

We would like to thank the Ethnic Fest Committee, who planned and cooked; those who donated foods and baked goods; and those who brought in the wonderful memorabilia for display to share with all.  Special thanks to Father Lawrence and D.J. Jared Frederick, for providing musical entertainment; and the Scouts for all their help throughout the day.  We also thank Gene Lancas, our Cantors and Choir for the special ethnic hymns that added a lovely touch at the weekend Masses.  Special acknowledgement to D & D Foods, Belle Vernon American Legion, Val’s Beer Distributing, and Wendy’s.

Thanks to all parishioners and guests for attending and enjoying our Fest, hopefully laying the groundwork for future celebrations!
