“THE ESSENTIAL SMM FALL FESTIVAL”

Due to the current environment, SMM is faced with cancelling our only parish fundraiser. We continue to have expenses during these difficult times, and we very much want to keep the heart of SMM as strong as ever.

Instead of a 3-day festival, you are invited to a pandemic-compliant socially-distant gathering on September 26, 2020, beginning with 4:00 Mass on the back field, followed by a night of music and fellowship. Food and drinks will be available for purchase.

The highlight of the evening will be at 8:00 pm when the winners of the entrance prize raffle will be drawn and announced. Please step up sales of these raffle tickets for a chance to win up to $1,000!

Your amazing generosity has always played a crucial part in the success of our fair. Please consider continuing your tax-deductible contribution of the fair as in years past, as a sponsor, whether it was in the form of a booth, t-shirts or stage sponsor.

Socially distant, yes, but SMM hearts will not stay apart!
