Bishop Alfred A. Schlert warmly invites families from across the Diocese of Allentown to join us for a special 65th Anniversary Family Festival on All Saints’ Day, Sunday, November 1!
Gather with family and friends for an afternoon of faith, fellowship, food, and fun as we celebrate the saints and the 65th anniversary of the Diocese of Allentown.
The Family Festival will feature something for everyone, including Catholic Trunk or Treat, carnival games, a petting zoo, caricaturists, live music, and more. Children are especially encouraged to dress up as their favorite saint for Catholic Trunk or Treat. DeSales University students will also be dressed as saints throughout the day, helping bring the lives of the saints to life for families.
Enjoy live music from Sam Malone, Island Time, and Vargas Music, along with food prepared and sold by participating parishes. Each parish will have the opportunity to share food that represents its unique history and traditions within the Diocese.
Admission and activities are free for the whole family. Food will be available for purchase from participating parishes.
The celebration will conclude with Mass at 4:30 PM celebrated by Bishop Schlert.
Come celebrate our Catholic faith, our parishes, our saints, and 65 years of the Diocese of Allentown with families from across our Diocese.
The Family Festival will take place rain or shine.
