You will find something for everyone in the family.
With gra tude I would like to acknowledge the hard work and
dedica on of our parish staff, fes val commi)ee and volunteers.
Under the direc on of Mark Beckman, they have been diligently
preparing this fes val for almost a year. They wanted to make sure
that it would be a great success. I cannot thank each one of them
enough for sharing their talents and me. Seeing our local
community coming together in the spirit of brotherhood and joy is a
great reward to their hard work.
The Holy Face parish is grateful to the St. Mary’s County Fair

who come out to rally and support our Spring Fes val.
I wish you and your families a blessed and safe me on the

From Your Support Of The Spring Festival…
Hospice is a special concept of care designed to provide
comfort and support to pa ents and their families when a lifelimi ng illness no longer responds to cure-oriented
treatments. Using their specialized knowledge of medical
care, Hospice staff and volunteers work to address all
symptoms of a disease, with a special emphasis on controlling
the pa ent’s pain and discomfort. Hospice deals with the
emo onal, social, and spiritual impact of the disease on the
pa ent and the pa ent’s family and friends. The goal of
Hospice care is to improve the quality of the pa ent’s last days
by offering comfort and dignity. Hospice offers a variety of
bereavement and counselling services to families before and
a*er a pa ent’s death.
