We're expecting a good crowd and fantastic entries in both contests."

The CathedralFest Brew-Off and Chili Cookoff will be held under the Big Top tent, rain or shine. Tickets are available for purchase at the door. All proceeds from the event will support Saint Cecilia Cathedral parish ministries.

St. Patrick will host the Eucharistic Rosary Congress, beginning with an outdoor procession carrying a statue of Our Blessed Mother around several city blocks while praying the Rosary.
