The Festival is centered upon our calibration of the “Feast of the Assumption”. It includes a special mass complete with "Angels" and Honor guards. After mass the choir, entire congregation, and many local organizations join together and proceed thru the neighborhood. Ending at the fair grounds, the calibration continues throughout the day with a Spaghetti Dinner and many out door activities.
