Seamour Shrimp sings a Canticle of the Sea in celebration:





Monsignor Gaetano is so excited that he made the following statement:


 "More than even breaking another record  and being more than "another Fish Fry" is the fact that the experience of community - at so many different levels is so real.  This sense of community is what has always defined us as a Catholic people.  Whether in Alumni Hall or at Mass on Sundays - in the classrooms - or on the streets - there is a Spirit that is bigger than anyone of us - for us the spirit of Christ the Servant - enables us to serve each other - ( remember Jesus cooked a breakfast of fish) for his disciples after the Resurrection) - being together - sharing - that is our legacy as a Catholic people.  At Mass when we are told to go in peace to love and serve the Lord - we are being sent out to go "fishing" - My prayer is that as you leave Mass this weekend you will "fish well" at home, in your jobs, where ever you are remembering its the heart of a servant - that enables you to do all that you are doing."
Monsingor Gaetano also wanted me to push the ticket sales for the Spring Cash Giveaway.  But the thing is... you don't need to buy a ticket to win big money... you just need to sell them.  It works like this:



MAJOR CREDIT CARDS ACCEPTED


As a wise man once said, "Fish Well, my friend, and support our Spring Cash Giveaway"  
See you at the Fish Fry!

An Epic Evening

Holy Mackerel!  They did it!  The fry guys of the Christ the Servant Men's Club broke ALL KINDS OF RECORDS! Just look at these numbers for Fish Fry Week 2:

2011: 664 Dinners     2012: 807 Dinners

I think it's time for Seamour Shrimp to commemorate this occasion in song: 


Tips were up too last Friday!  Here's OLOP teacher Mrs. House with the Codinal reminding you how those tips help send our 8th grade guppies to Washington, DC. 



See you at tomorrow night at the Christ the Servant Parish Fish Fry... As close to heaven as you can get on a Friday Night.
