All Saints Eve in the Piazza

Published on Monday, 31 October 2011 23:20
helena1aSaints and angels, heroes and archangels, princesses and a few superheroes took over La Piazza in downtown Ave Maria Monday afternoon for the town's annual All Saints Eve festivities.
They played games created by town merchants, participated in a costume contest and -- of course -- found their way to numerous candy dishes set up outside the shops.

First-place in the costume contest went to Mary Elizabeth Klein, Colleen Kilpatrick and Hannah Waldstein who portrayed St. Helena and two of her attendants. Pictured: Colleen at left, Mary Elizabeth as St. Helena in the center and Hannah on the right.
