No Three Holy Women Festival

A reader points out this post by Michael Horne at MilwaukeeWorld. The Three Holy Women parish might be growing overall but there's no one to oversee the annual parish festival.

“Key players are not available this year,” the church staff tells Milwaukeeworld. Some, such as Rose Mastrogiovanni, were lost to death, which lets them off the hook. What’s everybody else’s excuse?

Same thing happened to the St. Al's parish festival. A few people managed it for years, finally gave it up, and no one was either willing or able to replace them. The fish fry ended for the same reason.

It's said the cemeteries are full of indispensible people, but it turns out not always said ironically.
