Ham Dinner - Always on the 2nd Sunday of October.
We can trace the origins of this parish event to as early as the 1950s when the Ladies of St. Thomas were coordinating this
wonderful dinner. In 1981, the Knights of Columbus, recently established (council #7810), took over this event. They continued
the Ham Dinner until 1986, when lack of participation forced the council to dissolved. Because of their love of the parish,
Roland and Alice Pelchat and Fred and Theresa Rivers kept this event going. When the Pelchats moved in the mid 90s,
Tom Rivers and Dave Leonard took over the event. Many of the volunteers that worked on the dinner prior to this continued their generous efforts;
such as Zilda Metcalf, who had been making the coleslaw for years. Presently Tom and Dave are still coordinating this event and
the Ham Dinner is bigger and better than ever. There are usually 3 sittings: 4, 5:15 and 6:30pm. It is one of the truly great
community building events for the parish.
