Church in Shelton to host fish fry dinners during Lenten season

Lenten Fish Fry slated on Fridays at St. Joseph Church in Shelton

SHELTON - Last Friday, many braved the frigid temperatures to attend the first Friday of our Annual Lenten Fish Fry at St. Joseph Church.

Every Friday until March 27, all are invited to come and enjoy the delectable fresh fish between 5-8 p.m. Guests are welcome to bring their own drinks, although soda, water, juice and coffee is available to purchase.

There are many new items on the menu, and many old favorites have returned. All of the food is available to dine in or take out. One of the healthy new items, baked fish, was a favorite last week.

Thank you to Chairperson Darrin Besescheck for his hard work and special thanks to all of the parents, teachers, staff, students, and parishioners who are helping to create this weekly gathering. It’s a great time for delicious food, and good company!
