More than 200 people were served Christmas dinner with all the trimmings at at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church, 20676 Fraser Hwy on Christmas Day.
The meal at St. Joe’s, as the church is informally called, was free to all.
“We have such a giving community here – so generous,” said organizer Marg Rodrigues.
Students at St. Catherine’s School created custom placemats.
The Christmas dinners were started in the late 1990s by two parish organizations: the Knights of Columbus and the Catholic Women’s League, to make sure people who had no place to go for Christmas wouldn’t be left alone.
