Juneteenth Outdoor Celebration
The oldest known African American celebration, Juneteenth commemorates June 19, 1865, the day African Americans in Texas first learned of their freedom from slavery under the Emancipation Proclamation, signed by President Lincoln in 1863. Join us in celebrating Juneteenth this year with a family reunion-style picnic from 2-6 on Saturday, June 19th at St. Charles Lwanga Parish.
