EVENT: Knights of Columbus Fish Fry
EVENT: Friday Fish Fry
LOCATION: St. Patrick Catholic Church; 100 Quality Hill Road, Bisbee, AZ 85603
DATES: Fridays Feb 20 – Mar 27 ; 11AM-6PM
An annual event during Lent, many churches of the Catholic faith will serve fish on Fridays. Friday is normally the day of the Crucifixion of Christ, and abstaining from meat on that day is a common practice. Fish gets a pass in this case because it’s cold-blooded; a different type of animal.
St Patrick’s Church in Bisbee is home to the oldest chapter of the Knight of Columbus in Arizona, and I assume they will be the ones manning the fryers. The church building itself is at the front of the property and is hard to miss, just above/next to the courthouse. The 1918-era building was placed on the registry of historic places in 1978 and is worth a look if you have time, but the parish hall serving up the fish fry is a separate building behind the church, accessed by a small diveway/walkway to the right.
There are plates to go or you can eat in the hall. Cost is $15. I would suggest cash for an event like this; no information is provided on acceptable payment forms on the church website.
This is a great way to run into neighbors and hear what’s going on in the community. This isn’t a religious service; it’s religious people being of service. Best of all I found this event the old-fashioned way; a banner was hanging on a chain-link fence in the Warren neighborhood south of town. Ya can’t get more authentic that a church fish fry, put on at the local parish hall.
