Shrove Tuesday (also known as Fat Tuesday), is the day before Ash Wednesday (the beginning of Lent). It is the day to use up all your butter, sugar, white flour and all the other fattening luxuries that you many refrain from eating during the season of Lent. The most traditional Anglican thing to do on Shrove Tuesday is to have a big pancake supper, as making pancakes is a great way to use up all your butter, sugar and white flour.

St. Paul's continues this tradition every year by jazzing up the parish hall in Mardi Gras fashion for our Annual Pancake Supper. We serve pancakes, sausage and spiced peaches, along with coffee, milk and/or orange juice to drink. You may choose to dine in and enjoy the Mardi Gras theme and some fellowship, or you may take your pancakes home if you are unable to stay.

The proceeds from the Pancake Supper are used to help cover the cost of one week of summer camp at Camp Allen, for families who wish to send their child(ren), but may need a little assistance with the fees. Camp Allen also offers a scholarship for summer camp, which covers 1/3 of the cost for one week of summer camp. Our pancake supper proceeds will cover at least 1/3, if not more, depending how much the family can pay toward camp costs. 

Our next Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper will he held on Tuesday, March 4, 2025. Stay tuned for updates!
