It’s time to sign-up for dinner group!

This is not a gourmet dinner group, just good food with very nice people.  The Dinner Group is open to any adult in the parish, couples and singles. 

We meet in groups of about eight people at each other’s homes, a restaurant or host’s choice.  Each gathering is hosted by a member couple/person.  The dinner group meets approximately four times a year beginning in January.

Don’t be shy.  Come join dinner group.
