Blessed Mary Angela Holy Name Society

The Blessed Mary Angela Holy Name Society will have its first “Friend Raiser” of the year on Wednesday, Oct. 2. The first event will be a chicken, mashed potato and biscuit dinner served at the Parish Social Center at 324 Townsend St., Dunkirk. Dinner will be served starting at 4:30 p.m. and will be served until 6 p.m. There will be a drive through take-out service available, or join us and eat in the newly-refreshed Social Center with new tables, chairs, floor and a fresh coat of paint! The donation for this dinner is only $10. Tickets are available after every weekend Mass or at Big Rick’s on East Lake Shore Drive, but hurry, they are going fast!

The Holy Name Society will also be working with the St. Gianna Center in presenting a “Polish Koledy Night” featuring the music of Lenny Gomulka and Chicago Push as they do a sing-a-long of your favorite Christmas Carols, both in Polish and English and dancing to their polka favorites as well. All proceeds will benefit the St. Gianna Pregnancy Outreach Center – Chautauqua Satellite, and will stay here in Chautauqua County. This event will be held Nov. 30 at 5 p.m. at the Blessed Mary Angela Social Center on Townsend Street, and seating is limited to pre-sale admission. In addition to the music, a homestyle Polish dinner is included in the $30 donation. Call Pat at 401-3324 for reservations and more details.
