JEFFERSON — St. Francis of Assisi Church’s Hispanic community hosted a Mexican fiesta fundraiser on church grounds in Jefferson Sept. 17 in support of reducing the church’s building debt.
From homemade enchiladas and other Mexican fare to music and games for children, the event was a success – raising more than $6,000 before expenses.

LEXINGTON — Sept. 17 turned out to be a beautiful day for the Hispanic Festival held at Our Lady of the Rosary Church. Both young and the young at heart enjoyed traditional music, dances, delicious food and games galore.
This was all part of an effort to raise funds to make much-needed repairs and renovations to the church. Pictured: The heat of the day didn’t limit the energy of beautiful young ladies from Our Lady of Mercy Church in Winston-Salem who performed at the festival; a talented young dart thrower shows off his prized winnings; and Donaciano Corona and Paul Lundrigan, both members of the parish’s music program, take part in the fun and fellowship.
