Tradition: Msgr. Tom McDonnell + Frank Kelley Thanksgiving Dinner

This is the time of year to be grateful for all we have. Unfortunately, many need help with the holidays, including Thanksgiving!
Thanksgiving at St. Monica – The long-standing South Boston tradition of the Thanksgiving Dinner at St. Monica Church is being delivered on Wednesday, November 23rd from 1pm-3pm. For more than 30 years, Frank Kelley and his family led a brigade of volunteers who made sure thousands of people had a hot turkey dinner on Thanksgiving now the South Boston community has continued this tradition in Frank’s and Msgr. McDonnell’s name.
It takes a village to make this dinner a reality! Volunteer to help, make pick-ups, deliveries, set-up, and clean-up! You can text Cathe at 617-797-6845
If you would like to have a delicious dinner delivered, you can call 617-586-5824.
