This year, we’re inviting you to think outside the box when donating to our Silent Auction and Basket Extravaganza. Whether you give a unique experience, a handcrafted item, or a simple gift card, every contribution helps bring our parish family together in fun and fellowship—while supporting the ministries and mission of St. Max.
Through your generosity, we also strengthen our outreach to local partners like Faith Alliance, Family Promise of Butler County, and Reach Out Lakota—bringing hope and essential services to those most in need.
Your creativity and generosity make all the difference!
Our list above isn’t exhaustive, but hopefully strikes an idea or two! If you’re curious about other ideas or would like to make a suggestion of something you’d like to see - send us a message at festival@saint-max.org.
