THE HISTORY OF THE LENTEN FISH FRY DINNERS
The now famous Lenten Fish Fry Dinners started in 1997. Brother Knights Al Garofalo and George Novak approached Tony Ardagna with the notion. Tony was reluctant, along with Msgr. Kiernan, because of the available facilities and the manpower necessary to make the venture a success. They were encouraged, however, by council members and decided to move forward with the project. Tony’s son, Joe Ardagno and Greg Wakham of Taco Mac, a local restaurant chain, worked diligently with the Knights the first year to get the project rolling. 2007 meals were prepared during the first year. The number of meals increased steadily year after year. At start of the 2006 season, we dedicated our Lenten Fish Fry to Tony Ardagna, the major contributor to our success who passed away on December 28 2005. During the 2006 Lenten Season, we served 5621 meals and 1283 clam chowders.
