St. Peter’s Catholic Church, South Second and Union streets, Columbia, will begin its Lenten Friday Fish Fry events on Friday, Feb. 28, in the Parish Center. Food will be available to eat in or take out every Friday from Feb. 28 through April 3 from 4 to 6:30 p.m. The events are open to the public, and parking is available adjacent to the Parish Center. Forty-one years ago, Joanne Haberstroh, Jane Mable, and Kit Seibert came up with the idea to hold a fish fry every Friday during Lent. The event quickly became popular not only with parishioners but also with other community members. The fish fry has been held each year for the past forty-one years. The menu has grown and changed but still features a variety of fish platters and other nonmeat dishes prepared by the women of the parish with assistance from the men, who help serve and clean up each week. Included in the price of the fish platters are coleslaw, macaroni and cheese, a vegetable, french fries, and coffee or tea. Homemade soups, weekly specials, a la carte items, and desserts are also available. Some of the more popular items are the fish sandwiches and the baked haddock platter.
