St. John the Evangelist parish community will host its sixth annual Ethnic Dinner from 1;30 to 3 p.m. today, on March 10 at Seton Catholic cafeteria to celebrate the heritage and diversity of parish ancestral traditions.

Parish members are invited to prepare a favorite family recipe to share.

Parishioners can make a special salad, appetizer, main dinner entree, vegetable, bread or dessert and are asked to provide a name for the dish and its ethnic background.

Aluminum pans will be available in the parish office.

Those unable to prepare a special ethnic item can gain entrance to the dinner by making a donation to the Food Pantry of money or a canned item.
