2020 Applefest canceled with the exception of the Grand Raffle

A message from St. Augustine’s Church Pastor Msgr. Dennis Duprey

After reviewing the possibility of celebrating St. Augustine’s Annual Applefest, the Committee recommended that the Parish cancel this year Fest because of COVID 19. The Parish of St. Augustine’s has canceled the Applefest for this year but kept the GRAND Raffle of $3000.00 for the weekend of September19-20. This is to help with the many ministries of St. Augustine, especially for youth.

The Applefest, begun more than 40 years ago, brings the community together for work, fun and assistance to the Church’s ministries. It is the first time in the history of the annual Fest that it has been canceled. Its celebrated history has honored the beauty of the area, its hard workers, and the fruit of the tree that has helped define the Peru community.
