Fish Fry Fridays
St. Leo’s annual Lenten Fish Fry will have a bit of a different feel this year. Due to COVID restrictions, we will offer carry out ONLY. Our menu will be limited to fried fish dinners, fried shrimp dinners, and combo dinners. Each dinner will include your choice of regular French fries or sweet potato fries, coleslaw, roll, and tartar/cocktail sauce. The fish and shrimp dinners are $12 each; the combo dinner is $15.
We can have 5 patrons at a time in the area outside of the Fellowship Hall. A volunteer will take your order and place it with the kitchen; when your order is ready, a volunteer will bring it to you. As each patron exits, another will enter the hall area.
This year, the Fish Fry will operate for dinner hours only-4:00pm to 7:00pm. We accept cash and checks for payment. The Fish Fry will start on Friday, February 19th and will run every Friday during Lent, ending on March 26th.
Masks must be worn in the building.
