Organizers are offering a special thank you to Craig and Jennifer Yeszin.

The couple served as chairs of the Live Auction from 2015 to 2017, co-chaired the Harvest Festival in 2017, and assumed leadership of the entire event in 2018.

As they conclude their final year as Harvest Festival Chairs, St. Anthony’s is “deeply grateful for their dedication, leadership, and faithful stewardship. St. Anthony's has been truly blessed by their commitment and service for more than 12 years. Their countless contributions have helped make the Harvest Festival a cherished tradition and a great success for the parish community.”
