message from Fr. Arnone:

Although we are still waiting to resolve a few expenses,
I would declare this year's festival a success! 

I want to thank all my volunteers from SA, FX, and ASCS who helped with the set-up, managing, and
​tear-down of the booths and events. 

A special word of gratitude goes out to our students who favored us with their service hour requirements - many hands do make for lighter work! 

On behalf of Cresson Catholic Community, I want to especially thank all those businesses and individuals who sponsored or donated to the festival this year. 
​
May our Good Lord bless your lives and businesses for the kindness and
support you have sent our way and may the peace of Christ remain with you always!
Very Respectfully,
Fr. Leo Arnone

A BIG THANK YOU
to our donors for the Cresson Catholic Community Festival!

Coming Soon: “EDIFY,” a new CatholicVote Educational Initiative: 
This effort will provide substantive Catholic perspective on important issues in short online videos.  CatholicVote is offering $10,000 award to the parish chosen most often by new subscribers to the EDIFY platform.  The contest will run through the month of September.  Registration is free.  To sign up and to nominate a parish visit EDIFY.us.  Step one will show a 3 min. video; step two is your parish nomination and provide your contact info.
(I could only register one of our parishes, so please use FX name and website (in the unlikely event that we would actually win the contest, I’ll split it with the three of us);
step three is instruction on how to follow.
