Shrove Tuesday—also known as Pancake Day or Mardi Gras—is just around the corner. This beloved annual celebration, hosted by St. Mary’s Guild, is especially meaningful as it is also a time when we remember and honor a cherished member of our church family, Pete Dufourny.
For many years, Pete faithfully cooked the pancakes for this event, serving with joy and dedication. Today, his family lovingly continues this tradition in his memory, and we are grateful for their ongoing presence and service.
Shrove Tuesday marks the final day of feasting before the Christian season of Lent begins on Ash Wednesday—a day set aside for prayer, repentance, and preparation, traditionally a time to “shrive” (confess) and to use up rich foods before the Lenten fast.
St. Mary’s Guild is currently seeking volunteers to help coordinate and run this special event, as well as donations to support it. More details will be shared soon.
Please keep this celebration, and all who make it possible, in your prayers as we prepare for the holy season of Lent.
