Rocktoberfest is in need of NEW LEADERS. After 13 years of dedication to St. Barbara and Rocktoberfest a few of our team members wish to pass the torch to the next leaders of Rocktoberfest. Though we have throughly enjoyed our time bringing the festival to our parish and community it's time for us to step aside and let someone else take the reins. It is critical to note without these positions filled the festival may cease to continue. Please pray for guidance as you think about fulfilling these important roles.

The following positions are available: 

• FESTIVAL STEERING CHAIR
