A BIG THANK YOU to all the organizers of the Parish Festival!  Even after not having the Festival for close to two years, you made this year’s festival a unique success.  I also would like to acknowledge, on behalf of our parish community, all the volunteers, benefactors, local partners, and guests for your presence, participation, and assistance.  In more ways than one, this year’s festival was like no other.
