Food, Fellowship and Fun!

Announcement for 2026

Country Fest is a community event on the beautiful St. Mary’s parish grounds. It features the traditional Country Fest roasted pork dinner and all the sides, and fun for all ages hosted annually in the month of August.

After careful consideration, St. Mary has made the difficult decision to cancel Country Fest for this year. Unfortunately, there are not the resources or capacity to organize the event in a way that reflects the quality and experience our parish community deserves. We would like to express our heartfelt appreciation to the members of the Country Fest Core Committee for their dedication, enthusiasm, and service. We are truly grateful for all they have done in support of our parish community.

As we look forward to future opportunities to come together in fellowship and celebration, we want to ensure that our parish events reflect the interests, talents, and availability of our parish community.  Later this year, we will be seeking your feedback to help us determine which events and activities are most meaningful, enjoyable, and sustainable for our parish family. We are also eager to learn how parishioners may wish to share their time, talents, and expertise as we plan for the future.  Please be on the lookout for a parish survey in the coming months. Your input will play an important role in shaping the future of parish events and volunteer opportunities.  We appreciate your understanding and are grateful for your continued support of our wonderful parish.
