I would like to take a moment to recognize those who make our Resurrection Parish Fish Fry happen each week. Our Volunteers! Many people might not be aware of all that goes into prepping each week for Fish Fry. We have a dedicated group of volunteers that spend a full afternoon each week preparing our wonderful homemade mac & cheese. Every Thursday before the Fish Fry is filled with volunteers preparing condiments, dressing the cod loins for baking, mixing beverages, washing potatoes, mixing coleslaw, and hand-breading 500-600 cod filets! Outside the kitchen, we have volunteers checking the pre-orders, making phone calls to ensure that orders are correct, and opening takeout bags so that they can be filled as quickly as possible! On Fridays, our dedicated helpers begin arriving around 1:00 p.m. They do everything from set up tables and plating desserts to putting out placemats and cooking! These folks spend innumerable hours working to make our Fish Fry a success! If you see a Fish Fry volunteer, please be sure to thank them. We could not have a top-notch Fish Fry without them!!!
For those who looking to enjoy our Fish Fry, it is every Friday during Lent, except Good Friday, 4:30-7:00 p.m. Our Dine-In Fish Fry is located in the St. Thomas More Family Life Center. Save time for dine-in or takeout by ordering in advance online. Online ordering is open each week from Saturday morning through 2:00 p.m. on Thursday. Curbside pickup for all takeout orders (including online) is at the Ave Maria Academy parking lot. If you miss ordering online, you can drive up at the Ave Maria Academy entrance to order takeout. Please note that there is a limited menu available for drive-up orders if you do not order online in advance.
Each year during Fish Fry, we try to have a few dine-in specials for everyone to enjoy. A special thank you to our own quintessential Italian chef, Lucia Facco, who prepared the delicious cheese lasagna served this past week!! And thank you to Jim Shea for adding his musical talent while we dined. Be sure to mark your calendars for March 15th when we will serve delectable Eggplant Parmesan from Franco’s Trattoria (dine-in only). On that same Friday, we celebrate St. Patrick’s Day and will welcome back Jim Shea and friends to entertain us with Irish music.
There are just three fish frys left this Lent! We hope to see you at these wonderful parish events for a good meal and time to build our parish community.
God bless,
