The 11th annual FEST on August 7th was an INCREDIBLE day! Our free, one day Catholic family festival held on the seminary grounds at the Center for Pastoral Leadership in Wickliffe, Ohio, brought more people than ever before! The day was filled with amazing music from the live performers, great food, fun games and entertainment!

Special thanks to all of our sponsors and vendors who participated in the FEST 2011! Another HUGE thank goes out to all of the volunteers who have worked so hard to make the FEST a great day for all. None of this would be possible without your hard work and dedication. Seeing every person in attendance truly enjoying themselves made it all worth it!

The mass was sensational....the enormous crowd came together to celebrate the wonderful things God has done in our lives and in our world. While we had many exciting things planned for the ending of the mass, GOD had other plans! Just before the final blessing...the sky opened up letting down a heavy rain upon us all...and the crowd embraced it! How inspiring to see people stay and finish our celebration in the rain! Everyone frolicked, danced, sang, and praised to finish our evening together. HEARTS WERE TRULY ON FIRE! A smile on every face, children laughing and skipping as they exited the FEST. An ending to the FEST we will never forget!

Please check back frequently for updated pictures and videos from the FEST 2011! We look forward to seeing all of you next year! FEST 2012: 8.5.12
