Lenten Fish Fry
2023-03-31 15:30 - 19:00 (America/Denver) | Lenten Fish Fry, 11020 Teachout Rd, Black Forest, CO, 80908, United States
We have scheduled a fish fry event for March 3rd, March 17th, and March 31st. The committee has everything running smoothly. We do need help for these Friday evening events however. We will need a few additional cooks, several knights as runners to shuttle food from the friers into the parish hall warmers, and, we will need a few knights to run the check in table and act as cashiers. Please let Worthy Grand Knight, Joe Graff, or one of the coordinators, Jim Appleyard and Javier Popoca, know if you can help for these events.
The purpose of our fish fry events is two-fold. First, it brings the parish community together. Second, and more importantly, these events are designed to bring parishioners together prior to Friday Stations of the Cross so that we have more participation in the Stations. Show time for cooks will be 3:30pm and the fish fry will begin serving at 5:30pm til 6:30pm. Stations of the Cross begin at 7:00pm.
For parishioners wishing to partake in the meal, cost will be $15 for adults (2 fish filets), $10 for children (1 fish filet), and $40 per family. We will also have fries and Cole slaw. Ladies may be providing salad.

WE NEED YOUR HELP! We are once again going to be selling our breakfast burritos. In order to make enough burritos this time around Greg Sullivan will be leading 2 assembly lines beginning at 6:30am in the parish hall kitchen. We need to have as many as possible to help out! Since we sold out again early last time we are planning on making 20 trays of burritos again on Sunday, 28 Feb! Cooking and burrito assembly begin at 6:30am, setup and sales crews at 9:20 and 11:20. Please reach out to me or to Greg Sullivan to let us know that you will be helping out on Sunday! Brother Greg can be reached at (901) 212-7660 (text him) or email: gpsmemphis@gmail.com. I think we could easily use 10-12 volunteers for that 6:30 shift as well as 4-6 for both of the sales crews!
If you are going to make a purchase of 20 or more burritos, please let us know in advance. As usual, burritos are $4 each or $25 for 7.

Walk for Life
2023-06-03 08:00 - 12:00 | Memorial Park, 1605 E. Pikes Peak Ave, Colorado Springs, CO, 80905, United States
This year on Saturday, June 3, Life Network will host the 36th Annual Walk for Life! The Walk for Life is a simple way for people of all ages to get involved by actively demonstrating support for the value of human life – and a desire to make a difference in the lives of women, men, students and babies in our community. By raising funds and walking yourself or sponsoring another walker for the Walk for Life, you are directly helping the ministry of Life Network advance its mission to cultivate a community that values life through the love of Christ.
Participating walkers can choose to join with us at Memorial Park in person or if you prefer, to walk in your own neighborhood. Register online today here! Any questions can be answered by our Events Team, at arunnels@elifenetwork.com or 719.355.1188. Our life-affirming ministry is so grateful for your support!
One recommendation is to join the “Catholics 4 Life” team, who are currently in first place. If we have a lot of interest we could create an OLP team; otherwise, this other bigger team helps makes a bigger statement. Thank you.
