A Kermis or Kermesse is a festival or fun day, especially one for raising money for charity. The word comes from Middle Dutch. The first part of the word indicates "church" and the second part indicates "Mass" as the custom started from a church festival. These events are quite popular in South America and Europe.
St. John Vianney will have a Kermesse on Saturday, November 6, from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Tickets for food will be available after all the weekend masses this weekend. There will be games, food, and performances.
Funds raised by this event will go toward the purchase of new vestments for the parish.
