Council News & Pictures

See pictures of the kitchen prep, set-up, the big rush, and the clean-up on 3/30/12. What a finish to a great year of fish fry dinners. Thanks to each and every volunteer who worked so hard to give the parish a terrific place to assemble before our church’s Stations of the Cross. Each dinner during this Lent surpassed the records set in previous years. That is a terrific vote of approval from our parish. Thanks also to those who have submitted ideas for continuously improving this event.

This fish fry dinner was largest turnout to date with an estimated 550 people in attendance. This eclipsed the old record by nearly 100 people. Thanks to all volunteers that pulled us through this one. It was very hectic to say the least.
