The evening will begin with all guests gathering in the Parish Hall at 5:45pm to enjoy appetizers provided by those whose last names start with A-L. At that time, dinner destinations will be distributed. Small groups of parishioners will go to host homes for dinner and fellowship. Around 9pm, everyone is invited back to the Parish Hall for dessert, contributed by those whose last names end with M-Z. Tickets are $15/person. Hosts do not purchase tickets; they will be provided the dinner menu, recipes, and necessary groceries. And their hospitality is greatly appreciated! Please register to host or attend by using the link, smgonline.org/dinner, CLICKING HERE or by scanning the QR code in the bulletin.
