Parish Festival
August 1 - 3, 2008


The Festival kicks off Friday at 6:30 p.m. featuring a live band and games of chance and skill, and a variety of pallet pleasing foods.

Kids Day begins at noon on Saturday with lots of fun entertainers and activities for the kids.

On Sunday a variety of bands will be playing throughout the day.

In addition to our incredible line-up of entertainment, we have 10 separate food booths, more than 15 tasty items, not to mention our signature Roast Beef Sandwiches in Marian Hall. We also have 20 different games in three separate areas for children and adults, including pull tabs and bingo. Our train rides for the small children are something the kids can't seem to get enough of. And don't forget to stop by the school gym to see all the wonderful baskets in our now famous and much-copied "Baskets from Heaven" silent auction. If you want to take a break from the action you can stroll over to our softball fields to watch the St. Raphael Softball Tournament. This is the 27th year for our men's tournament, and the second year for our women's tournament.

To top off our weekend of fun, food and entertainment - the raffle drawing will be held Sunday at 9 p.m. For the last several years the Grand Prize has been $10,000. There will be many other prizes.

Watch this page for more information on entertainment and prizes as it becomes available.
