    Want to Learn how to make Pierogies??


    Our Parish is offering as opportunity to make pierogies for the sake of making pierogies.

    This is a perfect opportunity for the novice who has never pinched a pierogi in their life to learn as well as an opportunity for the seasoned professional to share their expertise and knowledge. It's also a great opportunity to get kids involved in the process of preparing food!

    We will be gathering on Sunday, September 15th beginning at 1pm.
