Almost 1,000 Lenten fish sandwiches sold Fridays at St. Irenaeus in Oakmont
Volunteer fry guy Eric Johnson knows his way around a fish fry.
“I’ve been frying for 15 years,” Johnson said Friday at lunchtime while handling fish orders for a packed church hall at Holy Family Parish’s St. Irenaeus in Oakmont.
Each week during Lent, dozens of parish volunteers man multiple stations to facilitate the more than 800 fish sandwiches sold every Friday.
Nia Lafferty of Freeport traveled to Oakmont for a dine-in lunch visit with Brianna McCaslin of Oakmont.
“These sandwiches are the best,” Lafferty said.
Food items include haluski, coleslaw, French fries, tuna salad croissant, homemade mac-n-cheese, crabby patty sandwiches and unbreaded gluten-free fish is available.
Fish fry co-organizers are Caryn Cebulak and Barb Moore.
The parish also hosts fish frys each Friday during Lent at St. John the Baptist in Plum, Saint Joseph in Verona and Our Lady of Joy in Plum.
