JACS JAM is our re-envisioned UNITED annual parish festival that happens on the third Sunday of August, although events occur on Saturday and Sunday of that weekend.

JACS = Joachim and Anne Church and School
JAM = Julifest And Marystown! (Our respective previous festival names.)

Instead of two festivals only a few weeks apart, both requiring hundreds of volunteers and thousands of volunteer hours, we joined forces in 2019 for the most FUN, FAMILY-friendly, FAITH-fortifying FESTIVAL! If you have been around Shakopee and Marystown for a while, "do not be afraid," many of the events you loved about our two separate parish festivals held at each of the respective churches of St. Mark and St. Mary of the Purification of Marystown, is still happening from the outdoor polka Mass to the famous chicken plop game. Watch this page for details on this year's events and schedule. We'll see you in August!
