We invite our St. Mary Parish, St. Mary Catholic Virtue School and all friends to a Joyful Celebration of Our Blessed Mother!

Save the Date: Saturday, September 12th

The Marian Festival is more than a parish event. It is the launching of St. Mary's spiritual journey for the year ahead.

We have gathered for this celebration every year since 2015 — and this year, for the first time, we gather in the evening. It is a fitting change, because this year we have more to celebrate than ever: our country's 250th anniversary, our parish's 125th, and our school's 75th.

Our school and parish families come together to consecrate the coming year to the Blessed Mother, our beloved patroness, with a Mass and procession in her honor. Together we will launch the pastor's theme — the vision that will guide our spiritual formation and inspire our ministries in the months ahead.

It is a night of renewal, unity, and joy, and the official kickoff of every parish program and event to come.

Bring your family. Bring your neighbors. We encourage you to bring a friend who has never walked through our doors!

Sponsorships and Donations

The Marian Festival is not a fundraiser—it’s a celebration of faith, family, and community. Our goal is simply for the event to pay for itself so we can gather each year in joy and unity, without financial burden.

This event is made possible through the generosity of our sponsors, ticket holders, and donors. Every dollar goes directly toward the essential costs of running the festival—from tents and tables to music and food.

In the spirit of transparency, we’ve provided a breakdown of expenses below. If you feel called to support a specific need (like covering a musician’s fee or donating a service), we’d love to hear from you.
