Queen of Angels benefit dinner set for Oct. 28
The Founder’s Day Dinner is a special night benifiting the Queen of Angels monastic community. The event will take place in historic Agatha Hall at Queen of Angels Monastery in Mount Angel, on Sunday, Oct. 28.
Doors open at 5 p.m. for a hosted reception, followed by a German-themed dinner at 6 p.m. Complimentary beer and wine will also be served, along with two very special items.
First, dessert for the evening will be Sister Immaculata’s famous buttermilk coffee cakes, but with a special addition – hazelnuts! Guests will be the first to try this delicious flavor of coffee cakes.
Finally, as a special gift to all attendees, there will be limited edition jars of the famous Monastery Mustard. The Founder’s Day Dinner will be the only place you can get a jar.
Tickets are $50 per person. Call 503-845-6141 or go to www.benedictine-srs.org for more information.
