Good Morning, St. Mary’s,
The tents are up, and we are looking forward to the return of the FAMILY FESTIVAL this weekend. Thank you to the parishioners and friends of St. Mary’s who plan to join us on the Festival grounds this weekend, especially those who have already signed up to volunteer!
We do still have a critical need for volunteers, especially on Friday night. For safety reasons, in order to have an inflatable open, there must be a volunteer assigned to it. In order for us to safely provide the guests with a full Festival experience on Friday evening, we still need to fill many more volunteer slots. Games is another area that cannot run with adequate volunteers, so we are seeking help there as well.
Please, consider volunteering for a shift or two if you will be there with your older children or if you are available on Friday evening. For Games, we welcome volunteers who are Grade 5 and older. For Inflatables, we welcome volunteers that are Grade 9 and older. Student service hours are also available for those who need them.
We are so happy to be able to bring the Festival back this year, but we must keep the safety of all at the forefront, and adequate staffing is essential to that. Click on the button below for the online volunteer signup. Thank you for your part in making this Festival weekend a success!
With Gratitude,
Fr. Michael Rose, Fr. José Carvajal, and the 2022 Family Festival Planning Committee
