Lenten fish fry set Friday

By Sam Waller

Members of Jesus of Nazareth Catholic Church will hold a fish fry fundraiser Friday, March 3 at the Albany Youth Center.

Organizer Jeff Bezner said food will be served beginning at 5:00 p.m. and continue until either suplies or demand runs out.

Donations will be accepted in lieu of a set price.

“We do have a suggested price of about $10,” Bezner said.

Service is takeout only. The menu will include fish and sides such as beans, cole slaw, potato salad, and hush puppies. Dessert, mainly cookies or brownies, is also available.

Bezner started the fish fry in 2019 as part of the church’s observance of Lent. After taking 2020 off because of the pandemic, the event returned and has become a solid fundraiser for the church.

“We started this because we had no function outside of our own congregation,” he said. “I wanted to remind people we still have a church up on top of the hill, and we have services every Sunday. We needed to let other people in the community know we’re still here.”
