Open Mic Nights Every Thursday
Our weekly Open Mic Nights have quickly become one of the most lively and enjoyable events at the Council, bringing together great music, good company, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere.
Every Thursday at 7:30 PM, musicians share original songs, classic covers, themed performances, and an impressive mix of instruments—from guitars and drums to ukuleles, mandolins, violins, keyboards, brass, woodwinds, harmonicas, and even the occasional cowbell. It’s an evening filled with energy, creativity, and camaraderie that keeps people coming back week after week.
We’re also planning a special Speakeasy Night this spring, featuring period charm, live music, and a refreshed ambiance. Be sure to check the Council calendar for updates or cancellations, and come join in the fun!
Delicious Meatless Meals Lenten Fridays
Our Lenten Meatless Meals will return in 2026, continuing a meaningful and uplifting tradition at the Council. Each Friday of Lent—February 20, February 27, March 6, March 13, March 20, and March 27—we will once again welcome everyone to join us for a warm, simple pasta dinner, followed by the reflective and prayerful Stations of the Cross led by Fr. Hughes.
Fridays hold a special place in Catholic life because they commemorate the day Christ was crucified; for centuries, the Church has observed them as days of penance and self‑denial. Catholics abstain from meat on the Fridays of Lent to honor Christ’s sacrifice and to make a small personal sacrifice in preparation for Easter. This simple act helps us remember His Passion and invites us to deepen our spiritual focus during the season.
These evenings also provide a wonderful opportunity for youth to contribute their time in service to others, and we look forward to welcoming them again. We are excited to continue this beautiful tradition in 2026 and hope you will join us each Friday of Lent. Again, check the calendar for updates and cancellations.
