Hickory – The St. Aloysius Knights of Columbus will be having their annual FRIDAY FISH FRIES, every Friday, February 20th to March 27th from 4:30 to 7:30 PM at St. Aloysius Catholic Church, 921 Second St. NE, Hickory. Come enjoy complete Fish Fry dinners (Eat-in or Take-out) at Holy Family Hall.

This is the 28th year that the Hickory area Knights of Columbus have been offering their popular Fish Fries to the public during the Lenten season preceding Easter.  Funds raised from the Friday Fish Fries allow the Knights of Columbus to give back to local county charities, the Hickory community, and their church throughout the year.

The menu includes fried or baked Tilapia, hushpuppies or fries, cole slaw, and green beans, plus a selection of desserts and drinks, all for just $13.  Smaller mac & cheese kid’s meals are available for $6.  Cash or credit cards are welcome and accepted at the door. Ample parking is also available in the church lot on Route 127.

“At one of our Friday Fish Fries, you’ll not only enjoy a delicious meal with your family,” says Barry Branham, Grand Knight, “but you’ll also be supporting our Christian mission, and the charitable works that we do in here in our community, the county, and the state.”

The local Knights of Columbus council is actively involved in the Hickory area though various Christian service projects.  It consists of Catholic men, age 18 or older, and has an active Ladies Auxiliary as well.  The Hickory Council 6451 meets the second Wednesday of the month from 7-8 PM in the Activity Center at St. Aloysius Church.  They always welcome new members willing to put their faith in action.
