Come to the Table

Come to the Table is a great opportunity to spend an informal evening with other adults at a pot-luck event. Each month you will enjoy dinner in a different parishioner’s home with a new group of people, usually between 6 to 10 depending upon the host’s accommodations. We welcome all adults 21 and older, singles or couples, to join in the fun! Dinners are held at 6:00 pm on the 3rd Saturdays of the months of September, October, November, January, February and March. In April we have a Grand Finale for the group in the Parish Hall at Holy Family. We run on a month-to-month basis. You come when it’s convenient for you.
