St. Bart's continues spaghetti supper tradition

NORWICH – St. Bartholomew’s Catholic Church will resurrect a time-honored tradition in the Norwich community starting tonight – the spaghetti supper. According to committee member Mary Coe, this was once an annual event, but it has not occurred in the last few years.



A dozen or more parishioners busied themselves in the parish center kitchen earlier this week. They were hard at work making meatballs for the spaghetti dinner. They made over 1,600 meatballs on Tuesday, and they were far from done.

The dinner will be held at 4:30 and 7 p.m. Thursday and Friday at the St. Bart’s parish center on East Main Street. The cost of admission is $7 for adults over 12, $5 for children ages 5 to 12, and kids under five eat for free.

These days we hear nothing but stories of dispair, anguish, physical and mental suffering and much more. Today we rejoice the decision made regarding St. Bart's & and St. Paul's Catholic Churches'!! For all those people with steadfast confidence in their faith and unshaken by misgivings, rejoice. As a community of Catholics, many people have spent timeless hours formulating multiple ideas as to how to resolve this extremely delicate situation. For all the efforts of those involved,Thank You. Let the spagetti dinners begin!!
Respectfully,
Rosemary, (Rorry)

What fond memories I have of the spaghetti dinners of the past. The dinners were always packed and usually tickets sold out week in advance. Cudos to the volunteers and the Knights of Columbus for bringing back this time honored tradition.
