Sunday Supper
Sunday Supper is a weekly community event in the St. Mary’s lounge after the 5 pm Mass. It’s one of the best ways to get to know others in the community! Groups volunteer to cook the meal; anyone from the community is welcome to enjoy the meal for free after Mass! We have delicious meals like breakfast for dinner, tacos, spaghetti, casserole, soup, and anything a group feels like making! Come enjoy a great home-cooked meal in our faith-filled community!
Also: Looking for a service opportunity? You and a group of friends, or just you with the help of our Sunday supper team, can volunteer to make meals for Sunday Supper! If you are interested in helping out, please click the sign-up sheet below to volunteer to cook a meal!
