Local Lenten Delights
- by Lisa Monti
Fridays during Lent can mean limited meal choices for those who abide by the no-meat-on-Friday practice.
But fortunately in our coastal community, fresh seafood is a blessing in abundance for those who want to put fish, shrimp, oysters, crabs and crawfish into the meal rotation. And to take our lucky circumstance one step further, members of several local churches do the cooking and cleanup for you for lunch and dinner on Lenten Fridays as a way to raise funds. ​As we wind down this Lenten season, you still have a few chances to enjoy some of the delicious and generous meals made and served by teams of volunteers at the parishes. |

St. Clare Parish in Waveland won’t be serving dinner on Good Friday, so you have just one more Friday (April 7th) available from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. to enjoy what amounts to a full menu.
​ The $10 plates include fried fish, shrimp or oysters or a combo with sides; grilled shrimp or fish with sides including seafood gumbo, potato salad and bread; or grilled shrimp or fish salad or crawfish Monica with salad. Sides include french fries, potato salad, mac & cheese and coleslaw. Soft drinks and desserts are just $1 each. |
