Our Lady of Hope Parish, Blackwood, is holding its annual carnival Aug. 26-28 on the parish grounds.
The carnival will run 6-10 p.m. Aug. 26 and 6-11 p.m. Aug. 27-28. It will be held on the grounds of Saint Agnes Church, 701 Little Gloucester Road. The church is one of two parish worship sites.
Dating back to 1986, the event is a staple in the community, said parishioner Diane Scherrer, who is also a carnival committee member. “The carnival has always been a community event for all God’s people. It brings together the parish’s 5,000 families and surrounding communities to create camaraderie, merriment and memories.”
Father Joseph Szolack, pastor, agreed. “A special blessing is our multicultural experience of working side by side with the Spanish community of St. Jude [Church].” Both Saint Jude and Saint Agnes Churches are parish worship sites.
