AbbeyFest — Greater Philadelphia’s premier celebration of faith, family, friends, and contemporary Catholic/Christian music — will be held on Saturday, Sept. 16 at Daylesford Abbey in Paoli.

The day-long festival will include food trucks, merchandise tents, kid-friendly activities, music, eucharistic adoration, confession, and holy mass celebrated by Archbishop Nelson Pérez.

“AbbeyFest is a wonderful opportunity for children, teens, youth groups, and families to encounter Jesus Christ and experience the fullness of the faith,” said Mark Griswold, Director of Religious Education and Music Ministries at St. Norbert Parish and one of the founders of AbbeyFest.

This year’s music lineup features headliner Matthew West, a five-time Grammy nominee and winner of the K-LOVE 2022 Male Artist of the Year, as well as emerging star Riley Clemmons, a 23-year-old artist from Nashville, who will perform her debut single, “Broken Prayers,” and other hits from her current album, GODSEND. They will be joined by Village Lights with Sarah Kroger, Ike Ndolo, and Ricky Vazquez; AOH Music; and local artist Gus deSimone.

“We are deepening relationships with Jesus Christ and encouraging families, young and old, to engage with their faith with passion and purpose,” said Deacon Hank Fila, Advancement Director for St. Norbert Parish and AbbeyFest. “We are beyond thrilled to welcome Matthew West and once again welcome Archbishop Perez to AbbeyFest!”
