About AquinasFest

 

Held each September on the church grounds, AquinasFest is a time for the parish to come together as a faith community to celebrate and enjoy fellowship while raising funds to support many parish endeavors, including religious education, community outreach and retiring the parish debt.  It is also a time to open the doors of our parish to the entire community in friendship.  Volunteers can help with planning, sponsor or work in various booths and games, donate money or auction items, and help in many other ways, both large and small.

 

History

AquinasFest originally began as Septemberfest, and was created as a means to both raise funds for various church and charity needs, and to celebrate our parish through a community-wide fellowship event.  In 2007, the festival was moved from the St. Anthony Pavilion off Tabor road to the St. Thomas Aquinas church grounds and was renamed 'AquinasFest.'
