Mission Festival 2011: A Rainbow of Smiles

 |   | 

The 2011 Xaverian Mission Festival in Franklin, Wisconsin, was indeed a Rainbow of Smiles, as you can see from the 100 photos below. Xaverian volunteers and friends came to Xavier Knoll for a grand family fun time, in support of the missions. It must have been the charisma of Frank, the photographer, but everyone posed with a great smile in front of his camera.
From the Festival preparations, to the huge rummage, the mission tent, the Saturday crows for the Doo-Wop Daddies, the polkas on Sunday, the games, dinners and sweets… everyone was happy to be part of the Mission Festival.
The Sunday Mass was presided by Fr. Aniello Salicone, concelebrated by Frs. Alfredo, Dominic and Fr. Mark Marangone who just joined our community after 13 years of mission work in Colombia. The Hand Bell Choir of St. Alphonsus enhanced the singing of the “outdoor Congregation” with their beautiful music.
We thank you for your ever-faithful presence and friendship… and your smiles.
