We have a small parish family but a large spirit! Many youth have volunteered to prepare and serve your delicious homemade food, as well as their parents. Our chairpersons again this year are Alicia V. Patchoski, Katie Patchoski, Paul Patchoski=foods, logistics & prep, Kathie B & Karen Kane with many helpers on baked goods, Betsy Zaydon-baskets & ads, Paul Prezzia-sponsorships.
We are a fest on a small residential street=held in a parking lot across from the church. Our neighbors have been very patient with all the foot & road traffic, so please respect their properties. Please enter off lower Jackson St. as Cabrini is a one-way.  Parking is limited, and there is no parking onsite. You may wish to park in the surrounding area near St. Lucy, Jackson St., Ninth Ave. or Main Ave. near Price St. and walk in. Our church building is on the right hand side but across the street the fest is held in the parking lot between homes.
