INTERNATIONAL POTLUCK, SUNDAY, MAY 24 AFTER MASS
The Social Committee of Canadian Martyrs Parish invites you to participate in an international potluck lunch on Sunday, May 24 after the 10am Mass. There will be food, music, dress and decor from around the world, trivia and dance lessons at the upper cafeteria at Immaculata High School! Bring a dish to share and meet friends old and new!
By May 17th:
Sign up to attend on the sheet at the back of the church or click here and tell us what food you will bring to share. Please help us to balance the meal by keeping the overall numbers of appetizers, main courses, side dishes and desserts as even as possible!
Note: There are 3 ovens and 2 refrigerators at the parish centre. Food can be heated or chilled during Mass and carried over to Immaculata after Mass. Crock pots can also be plugged in at Immaculata.
Choose 3-5 songs from your culture (include title and artist) and put them on the song list. You can find the list at the back of the church and online. Your songs will be added to a playlist for the potluck.
On the May 16/17 weekend:
Bring something from your culture that you can lend to help decorate the Immaculata cafeteria for the potluck. Clearly label the object with your name and the culture represented and leave it in the box marked “Potluck decor” at the back of the church before or after Mass.
Possible items include: a textile (flag, scarf, cloth) or object (basket, poster, etc.) Please, nothing valuable, breakable or unsafe. Objects can be picked up on the May 30/31 weekend, after the Masses.
