All you can eat salad, rolls, pasta, and meatballs for five bucks. What a deal. It precedes the ham shoot that is being held as a fund-raising event at the church hall, Saturday, beginning at 5PM.
The projected winnings of $1,000. will help defray operating costs which are increasing each year.
Those who are protesting the meatball should refrain from eating it, while not judging your brother. It seems there are always people around to tell us what we should or should not do. The bottom line is, it is more harmful to spew out of your mouth offending statements about ones abstinence, than to swallow the meatball going in. You are no ones authority, mind your own pints and quarts, (P's and Q's). That subject, is best left between the party and the priest.
Abstaining from foods is supposed to strengthen us on the journey. Judging is strictly prohibited. We are called to do "good" instead. Tonight was an example of that calling. We shared a community meal which was simple, but excellent. Salad, tomato soup, grilled cheese, cookies and coffee.
We are thankful to be able to help those in need, as well as the lonely, elderly and shut-ins in the area.
Besides preparing the wonderful food, father is preparing to offer a handsome amount of money collected for the upcoming food share radiothon, next week.
He has been instrumental at our parish of St. Michael's Church, in bringing people together. Times are tough, yet he is ahead of the curve. Exciting things are happening, and I will keep you informed as they are upcoming.
Meanwhile, hope to see you all on Saturday. Should be great fun. And, your contribution is appreciated. Don't forget, we're expecting you, so bring your luck with you.
