St. Frances Cabrini Parish Festival
To bring this year’s festival to life, we are currently seeking Game Chairs and Polish Booth Chairs. These roles are essential to creating the welcoming, lively atmosphere our parish family loves. If you’ve ever thought about getting more involved, this is a great way to make a meaningful impact.
We are looking for someone to shadow Tiffany and Rory Cogswell, who have faithfully and skillfully led our festival for many years. This will be their final year at the helm, and we are deeply grateful for the excellent work they’ve done. Their dedication has shaped the festival into the cherished tradition it is today.
If you feel called to step into a leadership role—or simply want to learn more—please reach out to: tcogswell@cabriniparish.com
And as always, donations are greatly appreciated as we prepare for another unforgettable celebration of faith, fellowship, and fun.
Let’s make 2026 our best festival yet!
