Lent 2025: Fish Fry Success
Recap from our Co-chairs:
Brother Knights,
Thank you for your excellent help in making our third and final Dine-in Fish Fry another success. Despite the rain, we had 465 guests attend, which speaks very well for our event. Everything seemed to go smoothly and all enjoyed a quality dinner once again.
All together, our 3 Dine-in Fish Fry’s and 3 Drive-thru Fish Fry’s served over 1700 meals!
Great job by all! We very much appreciate all of your efforts!
Our Council also appreciates the help of the many students delivering food and bussing tables. Great job!!
God bless you and your families and Happy Easter to all.
