The Lenten meatless meal includes: pasta with marinara sauce, garlic bread, salad, beverage and dessert. A kids meal option offers: butter noodles, carrots and ranch dressing, drink and cookie.
Cost is $12, $7 for children, age 3-10, or seniors, age 65 and older; children 3 and under are free; immediate family cap at $40.
The teens who will be attending the mission trip will be servers for the evening. Takeout meals are available.
During the mission trip this summer, the team will work on individual houses doing construction, rebuilding, repairing, putting in new windows, and painting for frail elderly members of the community. The team is also scheduled to do work with daycare sites, homeless shelters, family centers, food banks, homes for the elderly, and building and planting community gardens to provide a source of fresh fruits and vegetables in low-income communities.
The St. Catherine of Siena Youth Mission Team has held 13 mission trips and have supported volunteering endeavors for the past 11 years through the Catholic Heart Work Camp organization.
