The end or <em>telos<\/em> of Festeggiamo! is to bring joy and goodness into the life of our parish through life-giving celebration. From the time of the earliest Christians, our dear Mother Church has blessed us with a bountiful calendar of feasts and memorials, seasons and rhythms, to live by and to better enter into the life of Christ and his followers. Let us open again this gift and incarnate our faith through festivity. By celebrating our Lord, his works, and his saints, we encourage one another to grow in our love for God, grow closer as a community, and become a light shining in the darkness of this world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Contact: Dave Harburg (<a href=\"mailto:&#100;&#97;v&#101;&#104;&#97;&#114;bu&#114;g&#64;&#103;&#109;&#97;il.co&#109;\"><strong>&#100;av&#101;h&#97;&#114;&#98;&#117;r&#103;&#64;g&#109;&#97;&#105;l.&#99;o&#109;<\/strong><\/a>, 754-255-9241)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Staff Support: Caroline Biskner, Director of Family Life Ministry (<a href=\"mailto:&#99;&#98;iskner&#64;&#115;ta&#50;.org\"><strong>cb&#105;s&#107;ner&#64;&#115;t&#97;&#50;&#46;or&#103;<\/strong><\/a>, 743-761-8606 ext. 2250)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Celebration is not just one of many nice things to do in life; it is vital for the flourishing of the Christian.
