Phoenix volunteer firefighter Ryan Burns deep-fries fish for the Hollidaysburg fire companyâs annual Lenten fish fry, which started Friday before Ash Wednesday.
With Lenten season getting underway this week on Ash Wednesday, it’s typically the time seafood buffets and fish dinners pop up to benefit local churches and other organizations.
It won’t be quite the same this year because of the pandemic, but many groups are moving ahead with their fundraising efforts.
St. Patrick’s Catholic Church in Newry is well known throughout the area for its large seafood buffet.

How to respond to the Capitol violence and confusion January 15, 2021
In these tumultuous days, everyone is asking the question: âWhat is the truth?â Based on how they answer that question, and given the relativism of the day, we are dividing ourselves into camps. This division was on full display when the Capitol Building in D.C. was stormed on Jan. 6. In that moment, we saw anger and violence generated by feelings of disenfranchisement burst into the open, just as we had seen in the months before in many of our major cities. Both the right and the left have resorted to violence that is unacceptable in a civil and democratic society. Â
