First Fish Dinner Phenomenon

Thanks to the leadership of Chris Ryan, our "Athletics Support" committee chairman, the Fish Dinner was an overwhelming success.

We not only had a continuously full cafeteria, but we had a kitchen-full of help. Between the breading of fish, the frying of fries, the baking of desserts and the servings of cheese pizza, there was a multitude of satisfied parishioners...a perfect combination of time, talent and in the end, treasure.

Thank you Chris, Fletcher, and Jerry.
