THE SIMPLE SUPPERS
(Soup, Salads and Bread)

On February 29th, we will deviate from the “simple” supper format with St. Elizabeth’s Chapter hosting a fund-raising event to raise money to continue their ministries, consisting of a tasting party of prepared recipes from their cookbook. The cookbook will be available for sale.

For the remaining Wednesdays, we will go back to the “simple” suppers of soup, salads, and bread, and ask our parish ministry groups/organizations to volunteer to make homemade soup to feed at least 60 people each week, and for those parishioners who plan to attend and who are not providing soup, we ask that they volunteer to provide bread or a salad. NO DESSERTS will be served.

So, pick one of the four remaining Wednesdays, sign up your group/organization to make soup, or sign up to provide either salad or bread. Sign-up sheets will be posted in the Parish Hall near the Kitchen.

Everyone is welcome
