“What’s important as an advertiser is having the ability to break through the clutter. People often are nothing more than distracted by the messages they see and hear. The Fest is a place free of distraction. A place that families focus on things that are truly important. A place that breaks through the clutter. A place that’s important to be with your family, a place that’s important to be with your company.”
– Will Holsworth, Pepsi, Senior VP of Customer Strategy

“…the 2010 fest was a wonderful experience and a turning point in my spiritual life. I was a non practicing Catholic since I stopped going to church with my folks in high school. My sister encouraged me to attend the 2010 fest and I was blown away. I felt that fest folks were reaching out to all generations and making God’s message real and relevant to our lives! I believe that the FEST made a difference. I’ve returned to church and even started reading a New York Times Bestseller about St. Ignatius.”

“I have attended TheFEST for years, and look forward to the next one immediately after it ends. It is a day filled with energy and inspiration. I have laughed, and cried, while making memories with family and friends. Last year I danced barefoot in the grass with my nieces while singing songs during mass. Each year…I have witnessed a miracle. I encourage anyone…no matter your age, race, religion…to come and share in this incredible day!”
