Our Purpose

The purpose of the event is to raise money for the various ministries found at St. Julie Billiart Church. 

In the past we have ...

• Provided money to rent vans for Catholic Heart Work Camp in Virginia Beach

• Bought cots for Family Promise (Transitional Housing Program).

• Lowered the cost of registration for youth group activities and trips

• Helped fund the St. Julie - St. Peter Ukraine Welcome Circle project

Here is how it works

• Our crack team of volunteers sets up all available tables in the classrooms of our catechetical center.

• Teens volunteer to unload crafter's wares, and welcome them to our facility with youthful energy and a friendly smile.

• Crafters and  vendors look forward to hot coffee and a well stocked cafe throughout their day, with happy elves taking food orders and delivering hot meals. (Our chili and cabbage and noodles are legendary.)

• Shoppers arrive and are given a door prize ticket in exchange for a $2 entrance fee.  The ticket can be matched to winning items at each crafter/vendor table.
