All of us at Kirchenfest mourn the loss of the “father of Kirchenfest” Ralph Korte, who passed away recently at the age of 90. Ralph was instrumental in creating Kirchenfest, serving as chairman for both the inaugural Kirchenfest in 1971 and our third Kirchenfest in 1973. Ralph and his family continued to stay deeply involved in Kirchenfest over the years, shaping the event into what it is today. Although Ralph was not able to attend Kirchenfest 53 last weekend, his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren all worked throughout the week to help deliver an event that would have made him proud. Kirchenfest is just one example of Ralph’s tremendous impact on our parish and community, but we are eternally grateful to him and the legacy he has left. We simply wouldn’t have Kirchenfest without Ralph Korte! Please join us in lifting up his family at this time of sorrow. Rest in peace good and faithful servant!

Kirchenfest clean up is ahead of schedule thanks to these wonderful Highschoolers and Volunteers! What we normally have done at noon is done at 10:30.
