What do you love about parish festivals? The Criterion invites readers to tell us

We are entering one of the most fun seasons in the archdiocese—the season of parish festivals. In celebration of this special season, The Criterion invites readers to share their favorite aspects of their parish festival.

Maybe it’s a special meal or dessert. Or the expressions on your children’s faces when they have just won a prize, had their hair dyed purple or savored the first icy taste of a snow cone.

Or laughing and talking with friends while a musical group plays in the background. Or the sense of camaraderie that comes from helping to plan the festival, cook in the parish kitchen or volunteer in one of the booths.

Submit your “favorite parish festival moment or memory” to assistant editor John Shaughnessy by e-mail at jshaughnessy@archindy.org or by mail in care of The Criterion, 1400 N. Meridian St., Indianapolis, IN 46202. Please include a daytime phone number where you can be reached. †
