Dozens of hungry people flocked to St. John the Evangelist Church in Campbell’s Bay on Sunday afternoon for a hearty feast in support of the parish.
“This is our annual church supper that we have every year as a fundraiser to help with the heating of the church for the winter,” explained organizer Theresa Dagenais.

“It’s all homemade, turkey and dressing, all the trimmings and pie,” she added, gesturing to the assembly line of volunteers serving the famished masses.
The event is put on every year by the St. John Catholic Women’s League (CWL) and Dagenais said that they’ve had over 300 attend in the past. Working in shifts, a team of around 50 helpers made sure all the components of the massive meal were cooked to perfection.
On the wall next to the serving line was the stuffing recipe of Dagenais’ sister Shirley Ann Landry, who passed away in 2016. Dagenais explained that her sister was always involved in the preparation for the annual supper and the volunteers still use her formula for perfect stuffing.
In addition to the banquet, a quilt made and donated by Catherine Lawn was raffled off, raking in a whopping $2,607.75 for the parish.
