St. Anthony 2nd Annual Kermes/Carnival
We are excited to announce that the 2nd annual St. Anthony Kermes/Carnival will be held on Sunday, September 11 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Kermes is a form of celebration very similar to a carnival or festival, but with A LOT of Mexican food, activities and games. We will combine some of the things we have traditionally done at the parish picnic like pie judging, bingo, and children’s games. The event will be held in the front of St. Anthony with the street closed to create additional space.
The Hispanic groups including the Assumption Dance group, Liturgical Dance group, Knights of Columbus, Light and Hope Prayer group, School of Charismatic Formation, and Spanish Mass Choir have cooked all the food. The event will serve as a fundraiser to support St. Anthony sending students to both All Saints and Assumption High School.
There will be opportunities for school families to help in this fundraiser. Food stands will include: Tamales, Enchiladas, Taco Bar, Tortas (Mexican sandwiches), Pambazos, corn on the cob, Mexican drinks, pop in a bag, and much more. This year we will also have a booth with hamburgers, brats, and hot dogs.
There will be plenty of games for children. Entertainment will include dancing, mariachi band, Ballet of Folklorico, and a DJ. We are also planning to have raffles and 50/50 drawings to support the fundraising aspect of this family friendly event.
Alicia Nava Vieyra and Al Gahagan are co-chairing this event. Please mark your calendars and invite your family, friends, and neighbors to join us for a good time for a good cause of supporting Catholic education.
