The Knights of Columbus 4th Degree Assembly and the Sacred Heart of Jesus Men’s Club co-sponsored a Christmas Dinner/Dance in the Lower Hall on Friday, December 2. All parishioners and their guests were invited to attend the $25 per person event. Getting into the Christmas spirit early, 179 guests in their "after 5" attire attended the festive party.
A social with a donation bar began at 5:00 pm with Home Plate serving the dinner at individual tables at 6:00. The entrée was a choice of prime rib au jus with horseradish sauce, roasted turkey breast, or pork loin with apricot glaze. Roasted rosemary red potatoes, broccoli & carrots, rolls, salad with ranch or rosemary vinaigrette completed the main menu. There was a choice of pecan pie or cheesecake for dessert with coffee and tea to drink.
Dancing to the Blue Velvet band followed the dinner.
