Celebrating delicious ethnic foods and community togetherness, the Monessen Epiphany of our Lord 2018 Parish Festival was held during the weekend of August 4 and 5.

| ‘Street Level Band’ were a hit at Saturday night’s Epiphany Festiva in Monesenl. |
This was the 27th year for this popular event and included bake sales, games, a Chinese Auction, high-energy bands, face-painting, and family fun!
On Saturday, a live performance by ‘Street Level Band’ kicked off the festival with rock/funk music. Later in the evening a lantern release took place, followed by a mass at 10:00 PM. Sunday featured the band ‘Adorabulls’ who played music of the 80’s, and a Polka band headlined the night with the ‘Versa J’s’.
Some of the delicious food available included fried dough, home-made pizza, an Italian Platter of Lasagna, Garden Salad and Italian Bread: a Slovak Platter of a la Carte Halupki, Halushki, Pierogi, and Corn, and more!
Festival chairman Robert Sassak and co-chair Kathryn Dzyrik along with Festival Committee members teamed up to put together the event. “I am grateful for the many hours spent in preparation for the festival,” said Father Mike Crookston, pastor of Epiphany of Our Lord Catholic Chapel. “Many people have shared their time and talents to make this happen and I believe this year’s festival will be one of the best ones yet.”
