St Elizabeth the New Martyr Church Holds Successful Fundraising BBQ

On Saturday, August 7, the mission parish of St Elizabeth the New Martyr held its annual fundraising BBQ. In the heat of the summer, many of the parishioners cooked up some traditional South Carolina barbeque pork and chicken, baked beans, and homemade coleslaw to be sold in the community. The event has become an expected summer treat and this year over 130 plates of barbeque were served and the parish raised about $2,500.00 for the building fund.
