FAITH

& SERVICE

St. Joseph Work Fest is a weekend volunteer opportunity to help the AFC with a variety of maintenance, groundskeeping, cleaning, and other projects.

Pay It Forward

FOR OTHER FAMILIES

Many families and individuals have experienced a sense of peace at Catholic Familyland®, which we can only attribute to God’s grace. However, it takes tremendous effort to keep these holy grounds beautiful and functional so many more families can experience that peace here, too.

You can lighten the load.

At the St. Joseph Work Fest, pay it forward for other families by helping the AFC with a variety of maintenance, groundskeeping, cleaning, and other projects.
