June Fest (Festa Junina) – June 6

Join Us for a Joyful Festa Junina Celebration!

The Brazilian community warmly invites you to experience the colorful spirit of Festa Junina right here at our parish! This beloved tradition, rooted in Catholic celebrations honoring saints like St. John, St. Peter, St. Paul and St. Anthony, brings together faith, culture, and community in a truly unforgettable way. The 11th Annual June Fest (Festa Junina) will be held on Saturday, June 6, 2026, from 6:00pm – 10:00pm in the St. Paul Family Center and Courtyard areas.

Step into a festive atmosphere filled with bright bandeirinhas (colorful flags) and lively music. Enjoy the cheerful rhythms of forró music and don’t miss the quadrilha, a fun group dance that reenacts a joyful country-style wedding—everyone is welcome to watch or join in!

Savor delicious homemade Brazilian treats like pamonha (sweet corn), canjica, pé de moleque (peanut candy), and seasonal drinks. Families and children will love the variety of traditional games and activities that bring laughter and connection to all ages.

Come dressed in festive country attire—plaid shirts, straw hats, and colorful dresses—and celebrate this rich Catholic cultural tradition with us. All are welcome—bring your friends and family! Let’s celebrate faith, culture, and community together at Festa Junina!
