John Felten is heading up our first annual Oktoberfest.

The Little German Band and Dancers are joining us and is providing the music and show. This group has been performing since 1971 and has toured in several European countries and has performed at the Oktoberfest in Munich, Germany, in September 1996.

Our meal is catered by the Guglhupf Bakery & Patisserie of Durham. “It’s in the bread…”

Between the band, beer, and bread you are sure to find the evening to be enjoyable and memorable.

The evening starts at 6:30 p.m. One price fits all. Everything is included. That is food and beer (two glasses included with meal).

What’s on the menu? Brats, potato salad, sauerkraut, rolls and beer. We will have Black Forest Cake, tea, coffee, pretzels and potato chips for snacks.

Our host servers are the St. Thomas More Men’s Club. Dessert, snacks and coffee are presented by various church ministries.

The keeper of the tickets is Brother Knight Gene Keeling, but many of our knights will have a few to sell you. The price is $25 per person. Tickets are required to enter and are limited as this is a catered affair.

This event is open to all members of the parish and to our neighbors as well.

If you like this event, watch for upcoming ethnic events. Be it Polish, Italian, Mexican, English, or Irish, where there are Catholics there you will find celebrations with good food, good friends, and the common bond of family and church. We are building Family in the Knights of Columbus.

Next Fish Fry is April 7th

We just closed the doors after serving over 220 dinners! That is 100 more than our first fish fry. We started with 100 lbs of fish and had to go and get another 20 pounds. We were running out as early as 6 p.m. and people patiently waited in line for more fish to arrive. […]

We started with 100 lbs of fish and had to go and get another 20 pounds.

We were running out as early as 6 p.m. and people patiently waited in line for more fish to arrive.

Everything worked out well. We cooked the extra 20 pounds and served everyone. We sold out again.

Get ready for the next one and come early! The food is great and there is plenty on your plate. Remember that we cook it just as you arrive. It is a restaurant quality meal, served piping hot!

Proceeds benefit the parish and will go to paying off the mortgage.

Fish Fry March 24th

Here we go again! Our second fish fry is going to be an even greater success than the last one. How big a success was it? Well, we SOLD OUT! Sold 130 meals and we could have sold more.

It will be in the school gym. Time is 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Be on time and you are sure to get your share. We only charge $7 per plate. Have kids? We will give you a spare plate to share. The plate has two large pieces of whitefish from the cool oceans off Argentina. That is why it tasted so good and we sold out.

Now that everyone has tasted the fish and know how great it is, we are expecting a large crowd.

Profits go to the church mortgage retirement.
