Join The Mission of Cor Jesu for our 4th Annual Jesus Fest, July 19- 21, 2024! Jesus Fest is a weekend Christ-centered campout for families. Jesus Fest helps promote faith, family, fellowship, and fun in our Christian community. Families will have the opportunity to participate in a variety of events during the weekend, including fishing, old-fashioned games, sports, campfires, Rosary processions, and more. We're excited to announce there will be a live band this year on Saturday evening!
Gates will open at 2:00 pm on Friday, July 19, and close at 4:00 pm on Sunday, July 21. We will close the weekend with a Mass at St. Mary in Huntley at 5:00 pm on Sunday, July 21.

Saturday Night
Gates open and Fishing Derby and Registration for families begins at 2:00 pm. We will gather to recite the Chaplet of Divine mercy at 3:00 pm followed by a delicious dinner. After dinner we will honor our Lady with a Rosary procession and end the evening with Christian fellowship at the campsites!
Start your day with a cup of coffee available from 7:30 AM, setting the tone for a morning of camaraderie and activity. Engage in open games to kickstart the festivities. At noon we will break for lunch to refuel for the exciting day ahead. Join in any of the fun games like the potato sack race, tug of war, and the egg on a spoon game. We will pause for a moment and gather for a Chaplet of Divine Mercy at 3pm, followed by the exhilarating pie eating contest, where participants can showcase their competitive spirit. As dusk falls, gather for a pig roast, followed by live music from a great local band, fellowship, and more fun!
Begin your day with a refreshing cup of coffee available by 7:30 AM. As the morning unfolds, take advantage of the opportunity to hang out with family and new friends! Enjoy outdoor games and sports, and group breakfast and lunch before the gates close at 4:00 pm.
Conclude the beautiful family weekend by gathering at St Mary's in Huntley for a Mass.
