The basement of Bryson’s Church of the Immaculate Conception was the hot spot to be on Sunday morning, as folks turned out for the annual Valentine’s Brunch.
Put on by the church’s Catholic Women’s League, the meal is one of two annual breakfasts that the group organizes, in support of their church.
The CWL’s Sue St-Pierre said they were always fortunate to enjoy the support of their community, as they served about 80 guests on Sunday morning.
As well, she was quick to tout how lucky they were to have the help that they did, as it was a combination of CWL members and non-members lending a hand.
“All I have to say is they’re a great bunch,” said St-Pierre.
More than 10 volunteers helped keep everything running smoothly, between selling tickets, preparing, and serving the food.
Much of the food is donated by the community, with the organizing group only having to afford some portions of the meal for Sunday.
The Valentine’s Day brunch has been a longstanding tradition for the church’s CWL, dating back over 30 years. Money raised by the brunch helps the church afford the essentials for operation, such as heating or insurance.
