FaithFest18 was a great success Saturday, June 23 at St Francis Retreat Center, DeWitt. This was a day for Christian families to gather together and celebrate their faith in an atmosphere of upbeat, joyful participation!
A record crowd of families and young people enjoyed a day of live music, social and recreational activities, food, fireworks and fun -- all centered around a vigil Mass held “under the stars.”
Parish and school groups, youth ministries, small groups or large apostolates -- all are welcome to reunite at FaithFest19! Reduced-price tickets available now: https://www.faithfest.com/
