4 cultures, one annual festival this weekend in Campbell

CAMPBELL

Combine four churches into one parish and you get a lot of food choices come festival time.

Such is the case with Christ The Good Shepherd Church on Porter Avenue, whose annual festival started Thursday and concludes Sunday.

Besides the traditional fare of hot dogs or hamburgers, those attending could sample Italian, Spanish and Eastern European foods. All homemade.

There’s pizza, Italian fries, pepperoni rolls, elephant ears, haluski, palacincki (crepes), pastelillos and stuffed potatoes.

“It’s an ethnic smorgasbord,” said parish member Ruby Peltz, who is also volunteering at the festival’s auction.

The parish was formed when the churches St. John The Baptist, St. Joseph The Provider, St. Lucy and Sta. Rosa de Lima all formed to make one church under the Diocese of Youngstown’s church consolidation plan.
