It was a terrific weekend for outdoor adventures! The St. Bartholomew Catholic Church held its annual Fiesta on Saturday. There were a great abundance of activities, games for the youth, dancing, musicians, horse-shoe tournaments and concessions. Music included the Cardells, Genaro Moreno, mariachis and a dance in the evening. The aroma of food that filled the air was delightful to the smell and taste. The Knights of Columbus had a large presence at the fiesta and helped out tremendously.
The fiesta falls in line with the social teachings of the Catholic Church which include a rich treasure of wisdom about building a just society and living lives of devotion along with the modern society challenges. The atmosphere at the fiesta was full of happiness, enjoyment and pure delight.
It’s a wonderful feeling to see so many people join together for a fun-filled day and evening where there is something for everyone. The horseshoe tournaments were well attended and the camaraderie between opponents was uplifting. There were people from all over the Tri-Community in attendance it was nice to see everyone come together. Be sure to look for information on next year’s St. Bartholomew Church Fiesta to find out the date and events.
Thank you for everyone that participated in making this another triumphant event!
