Tonight we hit the fish Fry at St. Alphonsis (the grade school of Brian and Samantha Sproule!). Easily the best organized fish fry we have attended. You give our order; somebody seats you; somebody brings you your food. Beautiful. Clam chowder gets a B+ and the fish sandwich gets a B from me. Marilyn gives both her fried shrimp and her cole slaw A's.
One big demerit gets assigned because there were no games of chance being sold as fundraisers. No instant bingo. No 50/50 raffle. What kind of a Catholic Church is this????
We hit St Columbkille's Fish Fry tonight. Fish was good, but it didn't seem as good as I remember it from last year. We were with a group of nine people, so we had a good time. Also, no games of chance sold. Afterwards, went up to the church for Stations @ 7:00pm. Did my penance for Lent. After having stations forced on me for 12 years in school, they are not one of my favorite things.
ReplyDeleteGreat Press for St. Alphonsus! Thanks! I will pass along the feedback. Games of Chance just aren't the same when you don't have Mr. Burwinkle shouting out the results of the Big Six wheel: "ACE AND A DOUBLE DEUCE, Ace and a double deuce!"
