The St. Mary Grill will be fired up for the festival! Mom Wilson’s Country Sausage Mart is again providing our signature recipe St. Mary brat! Made fresh for the festival, these brats are a must-have, as well as Romeo's Pizza by the slice or whole pie! The grill also serves burgers, grilled sweet corn, and french fries.

 

Saturday night’s special feature is a Mexican dinner courtesy of St. Mary's Hispanic Community from 5-8pm. This dinner sells out each year – be sure to be here early to enjoy a great meal!

Don't forget to visit the giant Bake Sale in the School Commons!

about

The St. Mary Festival began in 1998 and has grown into an event for all of Central Ohio. Inspired by the mission of family, fellowship and fun, the festival provides an enjoyable environment for all ages. The goal of the festival is to provide a rewarding experience for all who attend or participate. This is the largest single-event fundraiser for St. Mary Parish. Funds generated by the festival help us support both our church and school by providing funds for operations and emergency repairs to the facilities. 

 

The proceeds this year will continue to help us restore our historic 1800s campus.

Email festival@delawarestmary.org with any questions you have. We will be sure to forward your email to the person who can answer your question quickly.

ABOUT ST. MARY
ADDRESS

Under the patronage of Our Blessed Mother, and rooted in the Roman Catholic faith since 1835, St. Mary Delaware is a vital and vibrant community that engages the living God in worship and prayer, and in Word and Sacrament. Led by the Holy Spirit, and imploring the intercession of St. Mary, we desire to imitate her role of being the Christ bearer, and bear witness to her Son’s redeeming love that has been poured upon us in Baptism, and sustained by the practices and teachings of the Church.
