About Fat Tuesday Youth Supper

Fat Tuesday is the annual evening jambalaya supper served by our Family Faith Formation Ministry youth, their parents and FFF staff. This year’s event will be held on Tuesday, March 1. With health & safety concerns continuing from the COVID-19 pandemic, this year’s event wil again feature the following adjustments: +Instead of the traditional in-person supper served in our dining room that is decorated by the youth and parents with a New Orleans theme, meals will be ordered in advance and picked up at the church in a drive-up arrangement. +Student and parent volunteers involved with food preparation and distribution will be limited in numbers, socially distanced and masked. +The traditional in-person silent auction of thematic baskets and bottles of wine contributed by congregational members and various boards and committees will be conducted online during the week prior to the March 1 supper. +Supper tickets will be sold in advance for $10 for adults and $5 for children. Online financial donations will also be promoted. +All revenue supports Family Faith Formation youth travel for annual mission trips and national youth assemblies. Such fundraising is invaluable in providing more young people to participate in such events. The goal is to contribute to faith formation for each participant. +This is also a wonderful opportunity to build relationships among young and old alike. It is a great experience for our youth to see the commitment of adults to important youth faith-building activities.
