The Epiphany Festival in Monessen took place on Friday August 4 and Saturday, August 5 at the church grounds. The ethnic food and community togetherness always makes the event unique. Other favorites at the events included pierogies, bake sales, basket auctions, games, and bands.  On Friday, the events lasted from 4:00PM – 7:00PM with music by ‘Street Level Band’.  On Saturday, activities kicked off at 12 noon and went until 10:00PM.  Events included a car show, balloon artist, Elvis Impersonator, and American Pie Band.

“Once again we open our Church Festival to the community to come together and just enjoy one another’s company,” said Epiphany’s Father Mike Crookstoon.   “This year our theme is all about the 50’s,” he added.  

The year’s event concluded on Saturday night with fireworks, and outdoor mass.  For the Epiphany mass schedule, please call the church office at 724-684-7661 or see online church bulletins at www.eolparish.com/bulletins.html.
