Parish Family Festival back after two years
CRANBERRY TWP — This year’s Parish Family Festival at St. Ferdinand Roman Catholic Church, 2535 Rochester Road, will feature a number of firsts.
It’s the first festival in two years, with the previous events in 2020 and 2021 being canceled by COVID-19 concerns.
It’s the first festival of the newly formed Divine Grace Parish bringing together St. Ferdinand, St. Gregory Catholic Church in Zelienople and Holy Redeemer Roman Catholic Church in Ellwood City. Divine Grace Parish was constituted by Bishop David Zubik of Pittsburgh Diocese on July 1.
And it will be the first festival in his new parish for the Rev. James Wehner, who was appointed as senior pastor for the new parish.
The three days of live music, food, bingo, raffles, fair games, a children’s play area and a massive white elephant sale will run from 5 to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 4 to 9 p.m. Sunday at St. Ferdinand, with the white elephant sale opening and closing one hour earlier than the festival hours.
