The FEST

What if we lived each day remembering just how much God loves us? ❤️

Jesus loved us so deeply that He gave His life for us. What a blessing it is to be loved so immensely by Him!

How can you reflect His love in your life this week? 💭

A little Friday reminder: have JOY! 🙌

No matter what your weekend holds, take a moment to rejoice in the Lord and remember the blessings He brings into our lives.

“Rejoice in the Lord always. I shall say it again: rejoice!” – Philippians 4:4 ✨

Here’s your reminder to pause and pray tonight. ❤️

In a world that can feel overwhelming, may we choose peace, love, hope, and light. May God use each of us to bring His presence to those around us.

Lord, make us instruments of Your peace. 🙏

What if we cheered for our faith like we cheer for our team? ⚾🏈

Thousands gather in stadiums to cheer on the team they love. At The FEST, we gathered to cheer for something even bigger: our faith.

Perhaps that’s what makes sports such a great comparison. We show up, we stand together, and we cheer each other on. 🙌

What are you cheering for this season?

There was something special growing at The FEST. 🌿

Throughout the day, people of all ages added their blessings and prayer intentions to our Blessing Tree. During Mass, the tree was brought to the stage, carrying the prayers and blessings of our entire FEST family. ❤️

Today, on the 25th anniversary of September 11th, we remember and pray for all those who lost their lives, their families, and everyone who continues to carry the impact of that day.

As Dominic reminds us, The FEST’s 2024 theme, “Instruments of Peace,” remains just as meaningful today. May each of us answer our call to be instruments of God’s love, mercy, and peace in our families, communities, and world.

God bless all those who work each day to keep us and our families safe, and may God bless you all.

We loved having Joe at The FEST and are so grateful for the time he spent serving others through the Rosary Tent. 🙏 What a great example of putting faith into action!

Joe Phipps ’28 spent part of his summer volunteering with the Saint Joseph’s Rosary Makers of Justin Martyr Parish, helping provide hundreds of handmade rosaries for the Rosary Tent at the Fest.

Joe spent the day in the Rosary Tent and helped lead the Rosary each hour, guiding participants through the Joyful, Sorrowful, Glorious and Luminous Mysteries.

Time well spent, indeed. We’re proud of Joe for putting his faith into action through service to others.
