A number of years ago, our parish shifted the Parish Picnic into Slavic Fest, a weekend of fun, old world food, dancing, family and fellowship. For months in advance, the parish prepares homemade noodles, pirogi, and Wedding Beef and the foods of our ancestors using the family recipes that have been handed down to us from our Slovak Pioneers and founders. The festival dates for 2018 will be October 13 and 14, the second weekend in October.
