St. John's Spaghetti Supper and Game Night - St John's Development Commitee held a Spaghetti Supper on Saturday April 30th to raise money for Parish ministries. Several parishoners supplied their own homemade spaghetti sauces, salads and baked goods. The dinner was delicious, and the kids had great fun winning prizes at Bingo. Thanks to everyone that helped.

Shrove Tuesday 2010, Posted by John Wudyka on February 18, 2010

Shrove Tuesday was celebrated at St. John's with handmade masks, beads and a the first annual St. John's Pancake Race.

Shrove Tuesday (formerly a holiday in England),  is also known as Pancake Day. On Pancake Day, pancake races are held in villages and towns across the United Kingdom. The tradition is said to have originated when a housewife was so busy making pancakes that she forgot the time until she heard the church bells ringing for the service. She raced out of the house to church while still carrying her frying pan and pancake. It remains a relatively common festive tradition in the UK, particularly in England even today, as is the pancake race , where participants race through the streets tossing pancakes into the air, catching them in the pan while running. 

And the 2010 winner was ... Donna Wudyka

Fourth of July Pancake Breakfast and Parade Float

Sunday July 4th, 2010.



St John's 4th of July Pancake Breakfast and 4th of July celebration!  We served 275 breakfasts in about an hour and a half and the crowd said that the food was delicious.  The Bourne Braves came down in full force to autograph baseballs, and join the Maffei Landscaping guys and our St John's kids on the parade float.  The theme of the St John's parade float was Hula-Pool-Ouza, a Hawaiian Pool party and the kids had a blast with all the squirt guns and water balloons!  What a great way to celebrate the 4th in Sandwich!
