Festival Tithe Program !!

For the past four years we have ‘tithed’ our parish festival profits to various charitable groups both here in our area, our state and diocese as well as nationally and internationally. 10% of our profits have been donated which amounts to over $17,000 in four years. We are open to suggestions at this time. We are partial to causes that help the poor, especially children and youth. Groups that have received funds include the St. Vincent de Paul Society, the CYO Center, the Milk Fund, Catholic Regional Schools scholarship fund, the Bishop’s ‘Keep-the-Heat-On’ Campaign, just to name a few. Send a note to the pastor.


Rides provided by Rockwell Amusements.
