Lenten fish fries are popular on Fridays during the 40 days leading up to Easter.
On March 7, St. Ignatius Loyola Church in Orrtanna brought back its popular fish dinner after a two-year hiatus. Just over 100 meals were served between 5:00 and 7:00 p.m. Potato-crusted cod, rolls, coleslaw, applesauce, and fresh-cut fries were served. Grilled cheese sandwiches were available upon request. There was a wide assortment of tasty treats for dessert.
