What an incredible weekend at the Mary Our Queen Fall Festival!
Our parish grounds were filled with laughter, music, and fellowship—and none of it would have been possible without you.
To every volunteer who gave their time, every family who donated baked goods, groceries, or simply showed up with their time and energy, and every parishioner and guest who came to celebrate—THANK YOU.
Your generosity, hard work, and spirit of community are what make this festival such a beautiful tradition.
✨ Highlights from this year included:
A beautiful outdoor Mass to kick off the Festival.
Booths bustling with games, groceries, and of course… Pickles!
Delicious food from Street Eats, Pretzels on the Go, Mary and Crew Tacos, the MOQ Men’s Club, and ParadICE—a true feast for all ages!
Incredible live music from The Retakes and Finest Hour, who brought energy, dancing, and smiles to the crowd.
A special school service project led by Mrs. Hoy and our MOQ students, who collected groceries for the grocery booth—what a beautiful example of living our faith through service.
Our community coming together in prayer, play, and support for MOQ.
A special thanks to Fr. Marc and our parish staff for their leadership and encouragement, and to the countless behind-the-scenes helpers who moved tables, set up tents, painted chalk lines, and stayed late to clean up—your efforts made the Festival a true success.
And from us personally—a heartfelt shout-out to our AMAZING girls, our DEDICATED family, and our INCREDIBLE friends. You showed up in ways big and small, and we are beyond grateful. From helping with set-up and clean-up, to jumping in wherever needed, to simply being by our side through it all—your love and support mean the world to us.
As we reflect on the weekend, we are reminded that it truly takes a village, and ours is a remarkable one. The Fall Festival isn’t just an event—it’s a celebration of who we are as a parish family: welcoming, generous, and joy-filled.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being part of this year’s Festival. We are already looking forward to next year!
