St. Pats Parish Festival
Festival of Joy
August 16-17, 2025
The Parish Festival is our parish's largest fundraising event and a fun opportunity to get our entire parish family together, along with the Fremont area community, for food, entertainment, games, and fellowship!
Happiness. Warmth. Resilience. Pursuit of light.
These qualities that a sunflower represents make it a perfect symbol of our parish family and our mission of exemplifying Christ. It is this strength and community that we celebrate each year at our parish festival.
We can’t wait to gather together for another great weekend of faith, family, food, and fun!
