JosaFEST 2025
Held right in our church parking lot and surrounding grounds, JosaFEST is our annual parish fall festival, a beloved tradition of our faith community since 1988. Thanks to the generous support of our sponsors and volunteers, the weekend is packed with something for everyone: Saturday night features live music, great food, and refreshing drinks for adults, and Sunday transforms into a family-friendly celebration with activities, games, and entertainment for kids of all ages.
