Franciscan Sisters Capture St. Francis School Fall Festival

The day for the annual St. Francis of Assisi School Fall Festival turned out to be a beautiful day in the Delta. The weather was perfect for outdoor fun and games. Many volunteers had arrived early to grill the BBQ chicken, fry our traditional catfish and prepare many other foods for the hungry festival goers.

While the adults enjoyed bingo and kept an eye on the Silent Auction the younger ones easily migrated to the games and activies.

Each of the Friars and Sisters were eager to serve and do all they could to contribute to the success of the event.

Sister Kathleen sold food which was a great money maker.

Brother Thomas volunteered to sit in the Dunk Tank and take the plunge.

Our maintenance crew was ever ready to meet every emergency.

Brother Craig clarifying details.

Brother Patrick found a shady spot in which to rest with friends.

Sister Elena contmeplated a quick getaway on the new bicycle which was being raffled off.

Fr. Cam was our official Festival welcoming committee of one.

Fr. Kim shared a special moment with one of our benefactors.

Sister Judy and our Principal, Mrs Lewis, enjoyed the rewards of a wonderful turn out.

Sisters Emy Beth and Monica Mary came to St. Francis to support our efforts and share in the days activities.

As the day wound down and the crowd deserted the cafeteria, we found Mrs. Lewis happily enjoying a well needed break and a few quiet moments, grateful for all the God had done at St. Francis… again.
