Started in St. Ann’s church basement, in P.E.I., as a potluck fundraiser, this event now serves more than 25,000 a season. What is it?
Lobster Supper =) 43 years later and still going strong =)
St. Ann’s Parish has successfully received guests since 1964. We are designated as one of the “World’s Famous Lobster Suppers”. Lobster is king, but we also feature a choice of entrees and a children’s menu. We serve meals that have made us world renowned. Our excellent quality home cooked food and friendly service makes dining at St. Ann’s an enjoyable experience!
St. Ann’s Church, located in Hope River Prince Edward Island is part of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Charlottetown. The present church was constructed in 1954 by Father E. Dalton; it is the seventh in less than 130 years!
In 1963, Father Denis Gallant, the pastor at the time, decided to serve Lobster Dinners in the basement of the church to raise money to help pay off the existing $35,000 mortgage. Early the next year, the church basement was setup to serve approximately one hundred per sitting while only open one day per week. A full course Lobster Dinner in 1964 cost $1.50 (Lobster was $0.50 cents per pound cooked)!
Today, our food is still prepared fresh daily by the ladies of our community. During the peak of our season we employ approximately thirty local people, whose dedication makes St. Ann’s Lobster Suppers a huge success.
