Spaghetti dinner in Batavia to raise funds for mission trip

Bring a hungry appetite to the Knights of Columbus Council 2191 hall on Thursday, Jan. 26, to help raise funds for St. Peter Youth Ministry’s high school spring mission trip.

Teens and their mentors will serve all the spaghetti, salad, bread, and dessert you can eat.

Dinner will be served from 5 to 8 p.m. at the Knights of Columbus Hall (Riverview Banquets and Catering), 1117 N. Washington Ave., Route 25, just south of Fabyan Parkway in Batavia.

Tickets are $10 for adults and children 10 and older; $5 for children age 3-9; and free for children age 2 and under. Carryouts also will be available.

Last year, teens of St. Peter Church in Geneva spent their spring break doing mission work in Mingo County, West Virginia. They worked with schoolchildren, helped move and organize furniture to be given away, painted a house for a woman who taught school into her 80s, helped write thank-you notes to kind donors who contributed to the helping organizations, did indoor cleaning of buildings, and performed myriad other service projects. The group worked through the Christian Help and the A.B.L.E. Families who work to serve the needs in the area. During this year’s spring break, another group of St. Peter Church high school youth ministry group will head south to Vanceburg, Ky., to lend helping hands and hearts.

Tickets for the dinner can be purchased at the St. Peter Parish Center, 1891 Kaneville Road in Geneva, from 8:30 a.m. to noon and 1 to 4:30 p.m. weekdays. You may also contact Mary Kay at (630) 232-9026 or marykay@cgtekinc.com.

The St. Peter teen group appreciates all the parish and community support that allows them to make this trip each year.
