| The dinners are every Friday during
Lent, except Good Friday, in the Parish Hall from 5:30 -7:00 P.M. For the past five years, the menu has included the
choice of Baked Fish, Salmon, Mahi Mahi or Fried Fish, usually Cod. The fish is served with a steaming hot
baked potato, a variety of two vegetables, cole slaw, a dinner roll, and your choice of many delectable desserts. The
first to run out is usually the Salmon, and the most popular dessert each year is the strawberry shortcake, whcih is
served at the last Fish Dinner. Drinks include punch, water, and coffee. Wine, beer, and sodas may be purchased
as well.
The group orders around 30 to 35 pounds of each fish and
they begin their preparations on Wednesdays with some help from ladies in the church choir. On Thursdays, they
prepare all of the vegetables and anything else to help their productivity on Friday, which is strictly cooking. The
Knights, their wives, and some of our priests serve the food at each dinner. The Squires and school children are most
often at these dinners trying to earn their required service hours.
The Knights
have an ongoing raffle of multiple prizes with the winners revealed at the last fish dinner. Council #9128
uses all proceeds from the Fish Dinners for charities at St. Luke Parish, focusing to keep the money in the parish.
This is definitely a fundraiser not be missed next time around and is guaranteed to hit the spot!
