A Note from the Fall Festival Chair
Last year, I was asked to share a few words at a Mass about the Fall Festivalâand as I thought about what it really means to me, one word kept coming to mind: fun. Itâs truly a joyful, faith-filled day that brings our entire parish family together.
This year, Iâm excited to serve as chair and to lead an incredible team dedicated to making the 2025 St. Joseph Fall FestivalâSan Jose, Aumenta Nuestra Fe (âSt. Joseph, Increase our Faithâ)âour best yet. Weâre pouring our hearts into this event, not just because itâs a wonderful tradition, but because itâs vital to our parish. The Festival helps sustain St. Josephâs throughout the year, and your support means everything.
At its core, this day is about more than just games, food, and music. Itâs about creating a space for Holy Leisureâtime spent in community, celebration, and rest. That spirit of togetherness is what makes it truly special. And youâre a big part of that. We hope youâll get involvedâwhether thatâs as a sponsor, volunteer, or by donating items. Every contribution helps make the day memorable.
Keep an eye out for updates here and in the bulletin. The fun starts with you!

Sincerely,
Melissa Kidonakisâ
