On Saturday, October 20th, St. Louis Catholic School will be hosting its annual Fun Fest in conjunction with the 3 on 3 Basketball Tournament. When I decided to take on the role of Chair Person for Fun Fest, I made it my goal to cultivate the sense of community between St. Louis Church and St. Louis School. In doing so, I have really felt the love and support for our school and our students from everyone in the parish community. Ministries within the parish are coming together to sponsor booths, families within the parish and school are signing up for various volunteer opportunities, and local business are sponsoring the event. This overall participation has given me the sense that we truly are one parish. As we approach the date for 3 on 3 at Fun Fest, we invite you to register to play 3 on 3 basketball, volunteer to help make the event a success, or just come and join in on the fun! There will be food, entertainment and activities for all ages! 3 on 3 Basketball Tournament: 7:30AM registration, 8:15AM Tip-off
Festival de Otoño 11:00AM – 4:00PM
Fun Fest - 11:00AM-4:00PM To register for 3 on 3: https://slcs3on3.org/
