St. Joseph Fall Festival- New Chairperson Needed! St. Joseph Mission's Fall Festival has traditionally been held on the 2nd Sunday of November and, for the past few years, has been chaired by Missy Gavranovic. However, Missy is stepping down from the Fall Festival chairmanship and so we are in need of a new St. Joseph Fall Festival Chairperson. If you are interested, please contact Father Samuel Appiasi as soon as possible so that planning for the festival on November 8, 2020 can begin. Thank you!

HOLY FAMILY FALL FESTIVAL

OCTOBER 18, 2020

Due to current COVID-19 restrictions, the 2020 Fall Festival will be downsized.

Plans include a DRIVE THRU ONLY DINNER consisting of FRIED FISH, FRENCH FRIES,

HUSHPUPPIES, MAC & CHEESE, and COLESLAW. The DRIVE THRU will be 11:00 AM to 1:30 PM.

DESSERTS will be available for purchase!

In addition, we will still have the annual GIANT RAFFLE. Please contact Gloria Garza at

979-453-0489 to donate a gift card for the raffle.

CASH DONATIONS to defer festival expenses are welcomed and appreciated! We will need everyone’s help and support to make this year’s event a BIG success! Stay tuned for

more details in the coming weeks...

Mike and Brenda Hubenak have generously agreed to chair the event again this year. Please call
