We are proud to recognize the completion and blessing of the Jack Zucco Memorial Garden at St. Jude Parish.

This project is a beautiful tribute to Jack, his family, and the lasting impact he had on our parish community. The Knights were honored to help bring this memorial together and to support the completion of Jack’s Eagle Scout project alongside Troop 40, the VFW, St. Jude Parish, and the many family members, friends, and volunteers who helped make it possible.

The St. Jude statue, which was originally given to the parish by the Knights as a 50th Anniversary gift, now stands as the centerpiece of this peaceful garden. It is a meaningful reminder of faith, service, and the strength of a community coming together for something greater than ourselves.

We would also like to give a special shout out and thank you to JM Creative, LLC for the incredible craftsmanship and care put into the St. Jude sculpture. Their work helped create a lasting and beautiful tribute that will be appreciated by parishioners and visitors for years to come.

Thank you to everyone who played a role in making this memorial garden a reality. It was truly a blessing to be part of this project.

Calling all volunteers! Our rummage sale is right around the corner, and we are still very short on help for volunteer slots during the sale and cleanup.

If you’ve been meaning to sign up, now is the time. Even a small amount of time goes a long way, and we truly can’t continue to do this each year without our volunteers.

Sign up at the Google link below, or email Alicia at [email protected].

To everyone who came out and supported our Fish Fry this year… thank you. Truly.

Each Friday, you helped make this season something special. Whether you joined us once, came back week after week, brought your family, invited friends, or simply helped spread the word, we are incredibly grateful for your support.

What makes this event so meaningful is not just the great food, but the people. Seeing our parish hall filled with laughter, conversation, familiar faces, and new ones reminded us what community is all about. Your presence made every long day, every hour of prep, and every bit of work worth it.

We are so thankful for the encouragement, kindness, and support you showed throughout the season. Because of you, this year’s Fish Fry was more than just a meal… it was a gathering of community, fellowship, and tradition.

As we close out this season, we’re already looking ahead with excitement and gratitude for next year. We’ll be back, and we can’t wait to do it all again with you.

From all of us, thank you for making this year’s Fish Fry such a success. We are blessed by this community and honored to serve you.

💙🐟✝️

Well, the time has come… the fryer is about to take its long offseason nap 😴

Tonight is the last Rochester Knights of Columbus Fish Fry of the year, which means this is your final chance to get in on the fish, the sides, the good company, and yes… the fish tacos that were a huge hit last Friday.

That’s right, the tacos are back for one more victory lap.

So whether you’ve been a weekly regular, a once-a-season visitor, or you’ve been saying “we really need to go” for the last six Fridays, tonight is your moment.

Come out, bring your appetite, and help us close out fish fry season the proper way. With full plates, happy faces, and no lingering regret that you missed the last one.

One last fry. One last taco. One last chance.

See you tonight! 👊

🚨 Final Fish Fry Alert 🚨

This is it, folks. The last fish fry of the Lent season is this Friday, March 27.

If you’ve been meaning to come all season but somehow got “too busy,” this is your redemption arc. If you’ve already been here and have been dreaming about our fantastic fish ever since, now’s your chance for one last fix before the season ends.

And yes… we’ll be doing the fish tacos again after they were a huge success last Friday. So if you tried them and loved them, or missed out and have been thinking about them ever since, now’s your chance.

Come out Friday for the grand finale of fish, fries, tacos, and trying to convince yourself that maybe you should get dessert too.

One more Friday. One more fish fry. One more chance to avoid waiting until next year.

Bring your family, bring your friends, and bring your appetite. We’ll see you there!

BREAKING NEWS: the fish tacos have returned. 🌮

We tested them out last night, and wow… they are absolutely fantastic.

Adam’s own special blend seasoning on baked fish and a slaw with our own 9640 dressing developed just for the fish tacos! Still all you can eat fried fish if you’re still hungry after two tacos!

They were a hit last year, and many of you have been asking if they were coming back.

One quick note: these are for dine-in only and they’ll be served as prepared this year, with no custom orders or substitutions, so our kitchen crew can keep things running smoothly.

Come hungry. These tacos are not messing around.
