St. Rita of Cascia in Aurora Celebrates Annual Fiesta
August 28, 2015
St. Rita of Cascia Parish in Aurora hosted it’s annual summer festival Aug. 16.
Among the activities for adults was a Sadie Hawkins-like “wedding” tent where couples get to be “married” for the day.
A West Chicago soccer team, coached by Raúl Mendozawas, was the winner of the festival tournament in the 6-year-old catagory.
At covered tables, people sold food and beverages and played games during the day-long event.
Joining the fun were Father Oscar Cortes, parochial admnistrator, and Elizabeth Faxon, school principal. Festival-goers enjoyed traditional Mexican dishes, mariachi music, sports and games for children and adults.
Proceeds benefit the parish.
