St. Anne’s Festival

The 49th Annual St. Anne’s Community Festival June 1-4 2022

Our annual St. Anne’s Community Festival has greatly assisted our Parish and community financially over the years by contributing hundreds of thousands of dollars to the missions, the St. Thomas-Elgin community, along with funding a variety of charitable activities, including those designed to help those most in need.

The kick-off for the Festival is the distribution of our Raffle Tickets. Once again this year, we are pleased to announce that the format will be a 50/50 Raffle .The sooner tickets are sold and returned, the faster the winner’s share of the raffle will grow. The excitement will continue to grow as we see the prize amount rise until the June 4th draw date.

We are asking each family for their support in making sure the Festival 50/50 Raffle is a success again this year. Please contact us at Festival 50/50 Raffle if you would like to purchase tickets or would like to request books of tickets to sell. Please include your name and phone and we will contact you to arrange delivery.

The Festival 50/50 Raffle is a vital part of the Festival, giving us tremendous advance publicity and generating a substantial portion of the funds we are able to donate each year. The involvement of as many parishioners as possible is important to the success of the Festival and the selling of the raffle tickets is one way we all can help.

To promote a sense of community within the area of St. Thomas and to help individuals/organizations within the community and the St. Anne’s Apostolic Committee. Approximately 300-400 volunteers help out.
