Religion briefs — July 29

St. Rose of Lima

For more than 30 years, August in Forestville has meant the St. Rose of Lima Lawn Fete, where fun-seekers of all ages gather among tents and booths in an old-fashioned carnival atmosphere. Some of the most popular attractions are the children’s games, pony rides, Chiavetta’s chicken barbecue and, famously, the unparalleled gift basket extravaganza. Chances to win money and prizes abound, including the coveted grand prize of $1,000, a gorgeous hand-crafted full-size quilt, and hundreds of other valuable treasures contributed by area businesses and artisans. Music, a concession stand, delicious baked goods, and a beverage tent add to the festivities.

The St. Rose of Lima 34th Annual Lawn Fete, held on the church grounds at 11 Center St. in Forestville, is on Sunday, Aug. 6, at noon, following 11:15 Mass. Come enjoy fun for the whole family!
