You gotta try this: Parishes boast dishes, dinners

It's hard to go hungry with so many Catholic parish festivals and events on tap

Published: September 17, 2013   
Homemade sausage is cooked for the German-style dinner that’s served at the fall festival at St. Joseph Church in Conway.

Many parishes and schools have developed a following for their special dinners and food items they make and sell. Stop by these events to sample some tasty treats. Because so many Lenten meals are offered, those were not included in this list.
