Sometimes the best invitations come from the smallest voices. In this video, some of our own St. Augustine kids share what they’re most excited about for this year’s Festival of Joy, from games and face painting to music and time with friends, their joy says it all.

Watch the video above to hear directly from our young parishioners about why this day is one they look forward to all year.

Join us Saturday, September 12, from 1–8 PM at St. Augustine School Grounds (330 3rd Street, Brandon, MB) for our 5th Annual Festival of Joy, a day of faith, family, and fun for all ages:

• Live music and praise & worship bands
• Games and activities for kids and adults alike
• Mass and prayer tents

• A potluck featuring dishes from our international parish family

This event is 100% free and open to everyone, no registration required, just come as you are.
