Who We Are
The Holy Family and St Joseph the Worker Respect Life Committee established
Lifefest to celebrate life. The Committee was formed in 2003 to help the youth
of the churches form an understanding that all human life is good and sacred.
Since our inception, we have searched for ways to reach more of the community�s
youth. We have erected signs, collected newborn items for birthright, given out
roses for Mother�s day and other life affirming events.
In the Spring of 2004 we held a dual parish wide event that included speakers,
an essay contest and speaking contest in Lake Crystal, MN.
We decided to take a larger step in the Spring of 2005. We hired Christian
Artist Jason Gay to perform. This was a fun filled evening for our youth in
Mankato, MN.
On April 22nd, 2006 Lifefest 2006 celebrated life as an area-wide ecumenical
event.
