Lead Me Home
Home is where everything begins and where we ultimately return to at the end of the day, literally and metaphorically. This year’s theme, "Lead Me Home" is a celebration of community, faith and the abundant blessings we have in our lives. Home is where we set our hearts and lives on God at the beginning and end of every day. It serves to refocus us on what is important in life and to guide us on the journey God has envisioned for us.

Johnsonville Big Taste Grill
Nothing says summer quite like a delicious Johnsonville Brat. Bursting with juicy flavor, the succulent sausages and brats are staples of backyard barbeques all over the country…including at the FEST! After appearing at the Super Bowl, Daytona 500 and being featured in the movie Dukes of Hazzard, Johnsonville's Big Taste Grill is rolling into Wickliffe. At just over 63’, the Big Taste Grill can hold up to 753 brats at one time, earning it the distinction of being the World’s Largest Grill. Be sure to stop by the Big Taste Grill for a succulent Johnsonville Brat at the FEST!
Homes for Haitians
The FEST in cooperation with many parishes throughout the diocese is proud to sponsor Mission:Possible, an organization dedicated to helping the poorest of the poor in the Dominican Republic. Over the past three years almost 200 unique individuals have participated in the seven mission trips.
The goal of mission possible is to both address the needs of the poorest of the poor and raise up the next generation of individuals who will work to create a better world community.
