FOREST CITY — Part of the national Hispanic Culture month, more than 1,000 people attended Immaculate Conception Parish’s annual Hispanic Festival Sept. 16.
The event featured music, games, traditional foods and dances.
This year, the parish made the event open to the public and held guided tours of the beautiful church.
The day-long celebration raised more than $11,000 for the parish and ministries, with $3,000 being donated to a special fund to aid Franciscan priest Father Santiago Romero in El Salvador.
