St. Francis de Sales Parish Festival

As preparations come together for the 9th Annual St. Francis de Sales Parish Festival on May 18, we are ready to add the most important element of the day: VOLUNTEERS! (Without full support from them, the day just isn't the same.) This year, we are again offering a very convenient online system for choosing times and activities that best fit your interests (but on a first-come, first-serve basis).

Each tab includes contact information for the respective committee chairs, but all general questions can be sent to paul.pegher@gmail.com. And remember, service at this year's festival applies toward next year's volunteer hours.  Take a few minutes now and visit : http://sfdsfestival.ivolunteer.com/sfdsfestival_2013
