On a beautiful October Saturday, 100% of St. Mary's "family" hosted one of its renowned Oyster Fritter Frys for the West End Community and surrounding areas. Over 160 "friends" of and newcomers to the parish took advantage of the delicious Eastern Shore oyster fitter fry sandwiches by consuming 6 gallons of oysters, 43 hot dogs and hamburgers plus sodas. A bake table with cakes, cookies, breads and other "goodies" was available as well.

The proceeds will be used to both kick off the "Pulling St. Mary's Together" Fundraiser to support the church improvements and repairs, and to meet the ongoing operating expenses of the parish. More important an event of fellowship and friendship took place that was enjoyed by everyone.
