Bring the Family, Share the Love



Mark your calendars and bring the whole crew — St. John’s summer spectacular is right around the corner, Thursday, July 9 through Sunday, July 12, and it’s the perfect chance to have fun, meet neighbors, and Be Disciples Who Make Disciples. 


This is more than a parish festival — it’s our parish on display: friendly faces, welcoming hearts, and ministries serving together. You might be the first face of SJE that someone meets. That first hello, that warm smile, that gentle kindness — that’s evangelization in action!


Why This Fest Is So Special!

There’s more than a Midway:

  • It showcases our ministries side-by-side so guests see how vibrant parish life is — making it easier to invite people into faith and community.

  • It's a joyful witness: laughing, serving, and sharing the love of Jesus in tangible ways.

  • It includes family-friendly outreach in Trinity Hall: safe, air-conditioned, and self-contained — ideal for parents and kids (ages 2–12). Children should be accompanied by an adult.

    • Games like Plinko, Giant Lite N Brite, football toss, rock painting, mini putt-putt, and more

    • Kid’s raffle baskets

    • Buy a pass for $10 — includes entry into the raffle


What’s on the Menu (and the Grill)!

  • Elephant Ears — KOC

  • Corn — SJE Men’s Club

  • Mama D’s — Lay Franciscans

  • Grill — The OGs, Connect Group #1

We Still Need Your Help!

  • Donations needed for kids’ games — cleaning out closets for summer? Toys, small prizes, craft supplies, and gently used family items welcome.

  • Volunteers to staff games, food booths, and hospitality — a great way to serve and meet new people.

  • Sign up for a shift. sjeevents.org.


Come Celebrate, Serve, and Show Love!

Bring your family, invite your neighbors, and be part of a parish event that points people to faith through friendship and service. Be Disciples Who Make Disciples. See you at the Fest!
