(Food Truck) Dinner is Served!
We will have food trucks on site during the Hope Fest Concert so you won't have to cook dinner on Sunday!
Stop by the Welcome Tent during Hope Fest to sign up for giveaways, purchase merchandize from Laura Potter, sign up for upcoming faith formation programs such as the Fall Bible Study, share prayer intentions and get information about ministries at St. E's. The staff from St. Elizabeth Ann Seton will be there to welcome you to the event! Stop and say HI!
Hope Fest Art Gallery
Our goal at Hope Fest is to spread hope. Art produces beauty and beauty produces hope so we're having an art gallery in the church window walk throughout the weekend! Stop by anytime during the weekend and admire the art on display. A lot of it is from our very own parishioners! If you'd like to display some art, fill out the entry form and drop your art off by noon on Friday, August 27th.
Help us spread the word about the events and make them successful - PLEASE SHARE!
