BBQ Dinner The Knights presented a BBQ dinner to over 500 attendees. Rave reviews of the dinner echo throughout McGivney. The Knights are certainly one of HSCP’s well-seasoned servants!
Silent & Live Auctions These were fun, competitive, enjoyed by most every attendee, and contributed to our fundraising purpose; our charitable ministries.
Kid’s Activities in spite of the in-climate weather, the kid’s activities were modified and moved into McGivney’s classrooms and the kids had a great time.
DJ & Dancing Does every parish have it’s own DJ? Ours, Irving add his musical expertise to the festival atmosphere. A cash bar was available for adult beverages.
Beneficiaries of our 2018 Fall Festival are the homeless families in our community. Please view the links to the right for more festival information.

A very special thank you to the Evangelization Committee for organizing our month of mini-retreats by preparing weekly readings as well as lining up speakers.
We are grateful to speakers Eben Emerson, Charles Giles, Kathryn Loskill, Marla Cottenoir, Rob Hogan, Satcy Saultz, Deacon Daniel Romo, Kelly Shehan, Tricia Vowels and Jennifer Emerson. Through your willingness to share your personal experiences we have all been given reasons to reflect on our own personal story and awareness how Jesus is working in each of our lives.
