What do you do when you pay off your mortgage? You celebrate in a really big way! Our annual parish Pentecost Festival exploded with fun when we moved to an evening celebration that featured Samoan Fire Dancers and Fireworks right after we burned the mortgage. Thanks to the wonderful families who cooked and shared wonderful foods from their homelands, our Hospitality Committee organizers and all of the volunteers who helped with setup, food, drink, kids activities, music and more. Island Style Productions presented the story of the Polynesian Islands through an amazing show. Thanks to Jaclyn Gross, chairman of the festival, for bringing the dancers and much more to the party.
