The $5 breakfast is held every month at the Catholic church.
Smells of maple syrup poured from the kitchen of St. Brendan’s Catholic Church. Ed Murlane chats will fellow church members as his flips a row of semi-circle pancakes one by one.
“We got some hungry people to feed,” he smiles. Inside the social hall that Sunday morning, the people were happy, and the coffee was endless. But a good meal wasn’t the entire reason they were there.
“We do this about once a month,” Vince Colonna, of the Father Eamonn Gill Council 13018 Knights of Columbus, said. “It’s a fundraiser for our scholarships that we do for needy kids. We give out two a piece that are worth $1,000 each.”
Up next on the Knights’ agenda is the Italian Night, held Feb. 28. Another hot and hearty meal, the fundraiser will also feature a 16-piece orchestra to go with a plate of homemade lasagna.
“It’s usually a sell-out,” Colonna said. “We raise about $15,000 to $18,000 a year. And of course, we give it all away.”
