Goal: $60,000
Our goal for the summer festival is to raise $60,000 toward additional activity centers in our Natural Playpark and upgrades to our school classroom floors—all the places where our employees, parish members and students come daily to learn, work, and serve the Lord.
Summer Festival Donations - How We Are Doing
How Can You Help?
We kindly request your help to enhance the success of just a few of our booths: The Gift Card Booth, Toys & Games Booth, and Candy Booth, all of which are stocked by your generosity. We appreciate your help with one, two or all three.
Gift Cards: The gift card booth is one of the most popular at our picnic. We are requesting donations of gift cards in amounts of $10 or more.
Toys & Games: This booth is fun for kids of all ages. We are requesting donations of items valued at $10 or more. You can use your imagination - what do your kids enjoy? Or get ideas from our Amazon Wish List. If you use the wish list, don’t feel like you must choose precisely what we’ve selected. In some cases, there are multiple varieties of what has been added to the wish list. For instance, Barbie - we added one on the list but consider all the possibilities.
Candy: For those with a sweet tooth, this is the booth for you! Candy of all varieties is needed. There are several ways to participate. History has shown us that most winners choose boxed candy, like what you would get at the movies. There will also be containers in the back of church that you can collect and fill with bagged candy.
You may drop off donations during carpool in the mornings or afternoons starting 5/19/2025. You may also drop off donations to the Parish Office or bring to the Church Gathering Space each weekend between now and picnic of mail donations directly to the Parish Office.
Anything ordered can be sent directly to St Gabriel:
St. Gabriel Summer Picnic
5505 Bardstown Road
Louisville KY 40291
