Thank you

We held our annual Shrove Tuesday pancake supper on Tuesday, March 4, 2025 and it was a great success! We had a great turnout and raised nearly $600 to put toward purchasing needed vestments for our acolytes. We had a group stop in only because they saw the sign on our fence while driving home from shopping! They were very impressed with the food and our young servers.

Thank you to the Brotherhood members and all volunteers for dedicating you time and much of the day and into the evening cooking the sausage and pancakes.

Thank you to all who came out and for your generous donations toward our mission. We can’s wait to do it again next year.
