This years annual Saint Paul’s Italian Festival will be held Friday, August 8 through Sunday, August 10. The highlight of the festival is definitely the food. Friday’s dinner is pasta Fagioli and Sunday is your classic spaghetti dinner. To top it off there will be cookies, pizzeles, knots, biscotti, breads, and other pastries. As if the assortment of food isn’t enough, the festival will have live music every night along with various games and entertainment. Kids will have their own entertainment including a Rock Climbing Wall, Dyno Jump as well as their own games and prizes

For those who love tradition, after Sunday’s 11 a.m. Mass there will be the Procession of Blessed Virgin Mary statue (the festival is being held in honor of the Blessed Mother). Children age 4-10 are invited to take a special part of the Friday and Sunday Mass.
