Thousands of people attended the annual St. Christopher’s Feast from July 16 - 19, which featured food, music, rides and games. Isabella Feeney, 4, had a blast during the festivities. The parish also capped its yearlong 100th anniversary celebration with a Mass last Sunday.

One of Baldwin’s biggest annual traditions — the St. Christopher’s Feast — was another major success this year as thousands of people came out to the four-day event that featured food, games, music, rides and more.

The Feast marked the 40th for St. Christopher’s Parish, which celebrated the conclusion of its 100th anniversary yearlong celebration with a mass last Sunday morning.

The event was once again something for residents of all faiths to look forward to and will continue to be in the years to come.
