Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper with Closing of the Doors

March 4 @ 6:30 pm - 7:15 pm

TUESDAY, MARCH 4, 6–7:15 P.M., in the cathedral nave. Suggested donation: $6/child; $8/adult; $25/max. family. Registration requested.

Please gather in the cathedral nave on Shrove Tuesday (a.k.a. Mardi Gras), March 4, to end the season after Epiphany in the traditional way—by gathering in community, eating pancakes, and having fun! There will be live music, crafts, and games. Chef Marc Aubertin and the youth will be preparing our meal. In addition to pancakes, sausage, fruit, and toppings, Vestry members will provide jambalaya and gumbo.

The celebration in the nave will conclude with a brief liturgy to “bury the Alleluias” and close the great doors until Easter. (This is a treasured tradition unique to Saint Mark’s.

Finally, on the patio, palms are burned to create the ashes for the Ash Wednesday services the next day.

Due to the terrific turn out to this event last year, we are requesting  advance registration to assist in planning. Register using this form or below.
