In just two short weeks we will host our 4th Annual Oktoberfest at St. Thomas More Church.  The date is October 10th at 5 p.m. in the new parish hall.  This event is open to the community of Chapel Hill, but tickets are limited to 300.

This is a very old fall tradition in the German communities.  Our church is rich in cultural heritage with members from around the world.  Oktoberfest is just one of our celebrations in support of our parish.

Our Oktoberfest includes Oktoberfest locally brewed beer, wine, brats, barbecued chicken, and German potato salad.  All this and three hours of great family fun and music for just $25.  Our event is a family event, so we include children for $12.  Of course, their ticket includes soda pop.

You should include this event on your list of must do events.  It is fun, fun, fun.  We encourage you to wear traditional Oktoberfest attire.  That includes Alpine hats, lederhosen, and other finery.  Need more information on what will give you the right look?  Learn more…

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.
