Deliciousness with a Trend Alert...
Dear Parishioners,
As usual, there is a lot happening at ICC this weekend. Tomorrow at 10AM we will be having our Healing Mass. Seniors, and folks with chronic health conditions and illnesses, preparing for surgery, or suffering from addiction, are invited and welcome.
On Sunday at 10AM we will hold our Expectant Families Mass. All expectant moms and dads, and parents of children through 1 year old, are invited to come and receive a blessing.
Now on to the delicious stuff!
Ciao bella polpetta!
Today it's cloudy with a chance of meatballs. Wait! No! That's next Saturday! In fact, it's not just a chance of meatballs, it's a 100% guarantee! If you've never been to one of the Altar and Rosary Society's Spaghetti Dinners, you don't know what you're missing. It's much more than just pasta.
First you get the antipasto. That's followed by a nice green salad. It's at this point, when you're already starting to feel a little full, that the meatball, sausages and spaghetti make their debut. And bread! And sauce! Mamma mia the sauce! Is your mouth watering yet?
Of course, there is vino and birra (that's wine and beer) at the cash bar to quench your thirst. Yes, there's water, soda and coffee, too. To cap it all off is an endless array of homemade cookies, generously donated by the A & R members. You've got to try them to see how unbelievable they are!
But wait! There's more! The whole time you're eating, you'll be swaying to the sounds of live Italian music so good that you'll be instantly transported to Amalfi Coast. By now you should be smelling the Mediterranean.
You know how luxe boxes and baskets are all the rage online? Well, the Altar and Rosary ladies invented them! That's right! Every year the members put together the most AMAZING THEMED GIFT BASKETS which literally line the entire stage - and one by one ticket stubs are pulled, and winner after winner walk up to collect their AMAZING PRIZES!
For everything you get, tickets to the event are a real bargain. $30 for adults, $20 for seniors, and $5 for kids 4 - 10 years old, gets you into a world of abbondanza! And raffle tickets are $6/each or $30 for six.
