German sausage, rosy applesauce the stars of this annual Wichita church dinner
Wichita will be a sea of corned beef and cabbage in the coming days. Those who need a break from all the St. Patrick’s Day fare, though, can take one at an annual Wichita church dinner that stars German sausage.
On Sunday, St. Joseph Catholic Parish at 132 S. Millwood will put on its 66th annual parish dinner, which offers meals of German sausage (still made today from a recipe a parishioner created for the first dinner) plus mashed potatoes and homemade gravy, corn, coleslaw, sauerkraut, rosy applesauce made with the addition of cranberries, and homemade desserts.
Meals cost $15 at the door. Children will be allowed to share a plate.
The dinner is the parish’s largest fundraiser, and nearly all the families who are members contribute in some way. (All are asked to donate two pies and two cakes.)
Anyone is welcome to attend the dinner. People can dine in until 4 p.m. or get their meals to-go or at a drive through until 5 p.m.
The event also will include games, a beer garden for adults, and a raffle with lots of prizes. Raffle tickets are $1 apiece or six for $5. There will also be a stein-holding contest with an entry fee of $20.
