Description

St. Ludmila's Kolach Festival is a community-building and fundraising event, held annually in June.  It is a celebration of all things delicious.  Hundreds of volunteers bake thousands of fruit-filled pastries.  Dozens upon dozens of these delightful desserts are made with flavors such as cherry, apple, apricot, poppy seed, rhubarb and strawberry.  The festival includes live music, carnival games, a silent auciton, beer garden, bingo, polka Mass and much more.

We are looking for items for our silent auction.  With your donation, you allow us to help our community.  We partner with Catholic Worker House, Fresh Start, Matthew25, Outreach, Mission of Hope, St. Vincent de Paul and Willis Dady that offer financial assistance, food, clothing and other basic needs to the community. 

It is through your donation that we are able to provide exciting new opportunities for people of all ages.

Thank you for considering us for your donation.
