The Purpose of the International Festival is to bring together the multi-cultural highlights of our parish as a community building project. As our church’s largest community function, it has evolved to be a major fundraising event. It takes two months of planning, for a three-day event, involving several hundred volunteers. We did not have an opportunity last year to have this event due to the pandemic. This year, we are excited to announce that we will host it again with just a few changes. If you would like to be part of the planning committee, we will be meeting on Thursdays, from 6:30 PM at the Parish Hall. Please come and join us.

Enjoy a 3-day fun-filled International Festival with family and friends at the Mary Star of the Sea Catholic Church, located minutes away from the shores of the Pacific Ocean in Ventura County, Oxnard. Come and experience a non-stop live entertainment from bands, musicians, singers, and cultural dancers on stage. From bountiful food booths, savor assorted mouth watering ethnic dishes devotedly prepared by the ministries and families of the parish. Bring on plenty of fun with numerous activities available at the professional carnival rides, midway games, scavenger hunt, plants and many more! See you soon!
