Games and prizes, rides, great food and entertainment fill the parish grounds for three evenings every summer as we celebrate God's gift of sunshine and warmth with our parish festival.

Planning starts early and many workers are needed to make this major fundraiser a success. Donations of baked goods and new hand-made craft items are also needed for specialty booths. Look for current information on dates, times and volunteer opportunities in the parish weekly bulletin. Give a few hours of your time and then bring your family, friends, and neighbors.


You can't beat it

 on a hot summer night!

WANTED: Prizes, Theme Baskets, Baked Goods, Raffle Items!

Prizes
Family games--fun for all ages! To make this year’s festival successful, we are looking for PRIZES -- “new” donations of candles, flashlights, kids toys, stuffed animals, gift certificates, blankets, use your imagination. Donations marked “Stato donation” can be dropped off at the office.

Theme Baskets

If you're creatively-challenged when it comes to crafts, maybe you can pull together and donate a theme basket. These baskets are on display, with a corresponding ticket container, every night of the festival. Festival goers purchase tickets, then place them in the container for the basket(s) they hope to win. On Saturday evening, one ticket is drawn from each container and the winners are notified.

All Holy Cross Bakers: We Need You!
Do you have a special cake recipe or baked treat? Please plan on sharing it during our Parish Festival. Every year our cake booth does a booming business...we don’t want to run out of baked goods! Your contribution will make this year’s festival successful and delicious! 

Grounds Raffle
We also need large (new, hand-made) items (over $40 value.) These items are raffled off, with a limited number of chances to win, by individuals who canvas the crowd.
