The Council needs your help with the Knights of Columbus Fish Frys during Lent. We will be hosting a weekly Friday “Grab and Go” Fish Meal starting Friday, February 19 and through the month of March, from 5pm to 6:30pm. The Council will be preparing meals in the kitchen for OLMC parishioners to purchase and will be picked up drive-thru style. This To-Go meal preparation during the Pandemic is a first for the Council and we need your help to make it a success. There are two ways you can help:1.) Patronize the event. Purchase a meal (or two) to go!
2.) If you are able, volunteer to help staff the events.
Setup starts at 4pm in McCready Hall. Requirements for personal safety and safe food preparation are stressed during the pandemic at OLMC. Masks need to be worn and safe distances will be required while working. Everyone needs to have completed Safe Environment Training (SET). Access to SET can be found on Our Lady of Mt Carmel’s website. Please bring your Food Handler’s Card. If you don’t have a card you can go to https://www.azfoodhandlers.com to complete the short training for your Card. Cut and paste this site to your browser for the Food Handler’s website. The Council will pay your fee for the Food Handler’s Card training. Also please bring a cap. A cap would meet a requirement for working with food in the kitchen. Aprons and gloves will be provided by the Council. The short training you will receive from the Food Handlers is worthwhile and will fulfill the Maricopa County’s health guidelines for food service to the public. It is also required at OLMC while preparing food and serving food. Cards are good for three years.
Thank you for your help in making the Fish Frys a yearly success!
