Gallery: Festival preparations
Prior to the annual festival, parishioners and friends get together to cut vegetables for the sausage and peppers, mushroom stew and more. And for the four days before festival Friday, a group of adults meet daily to set up the festival grounds. Others gather in the kitchen to cook the sausage, meatballs and mushroom stew.
