The 53rd Incarnation Carnival is March 16 – 19, 2017! Incarnation Catholic School is charged with executing this community building event.
REMINDER - Carnival Sweepstakes Drawing
Incarnation Catholic School will host its annual Carnival Sweepstakes Drawing to coincide with the excitement of the 53rd Incarnation Carnival. Remember that participation in the Drawing is required for any family who did not purchase at least two tickets to last November’s Auction. This is part of the $150 fundraising commitment we expect and rely upon from each ICS family (ICS families must raise at least $150 between the Auction and Drawing; any combination can be used but the total must be $150).
Your participation in the Drawing can yield a great return on your investment if you end up winning! Drawings will begin on March 1 and will run through the last day of Carnival, March 19. Any family that sells at least $150 before the Drawing begins will be entered into a bonus drawing. Stay tuned for more details! Tickets and more information will be coming soon!

Please note that the Incarnation Church Gala originally scheduled for February 11 has been rescheduled for Saturday May 6, 2017 - "Summer Nights"!
