Knights of Columbus Receive Award

Held annually on the last weekend of July, SMOYFest is a chance for our community to come together for fun, fellowship, and FROGS! We’re excited to welcome back the popular Frog Drop , along with a festive Jimmy Buffett “Cheeseburgers in Paradise” theme on Sunday. Enjoy great music from Parrots of the Caribbean , and get ready to party island-style! So grab your Hawaiian shirts and flip flops , come on down, and kick back with a Margarita —because after all… it’s five o’clock somewhere! Visit smoyfest.org for more information or view the video below! There are so many ways you can support the festival : attend, bring your friends and family, purchase raffle, basket, and frog drop tickets, become a sponsor, or volunteer to help run or staff a booth. If you’d like to get involved, please contact Kathy McGaughy at kmcgaughy@smoy.org .

Fr. Emmerling has begun as our new Parochial Vicar. He said, "I was born in Cincinnati and grew up near St. Ignatius Church on the West side of Cincinnati. I was blessed to be in a large family, the oldest of eight children. I attended St Ignatius School until 5th grade and from there I was homeschooled. I began my seminary studies after high school, at the Josephinum in Columbus from 2017 to 2021. I then began my studies at Mount St. Mary's Seminary for another five years. A few of my hobbies that I picked up over the years include cooking, hunting, listening to music, and studying. I am looking very much forward to getting to know the parish and parishioners."
