St. Francis Catholic Church will host the sixth annual spaghetti dinner on Saturday, Oct. 10 at the Orcas Center from 5 to 8 p.m.

The evening will include a quilt raffle, entertainment, and silent auction. Parishioners will be selling dinner and quilt raffle tickets at Island Market on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., at the church after Sunday Mass about 1:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m., and at the door on Oct. 10.

Adult dinners are $10; children ages five to 12 are $5; and children under 5 are free. All of the Orcas Community is invited to join that evening.

St. Francis is part of a larger Catholic Parish for the islands in the county. Their parish priest, Father Raymond Heffernan, lives in Friday Harbor. In order for the nearly 100 Orcas families to attend Mass on island, Father Dave Young flies to Orcas from his home in Anacortes every Sunday. Father Young is a retired Navy Chaplain and also a pilot who owns a private plane.

St. Francis raises money each year to help Young defray the cost of his weekly trip to Orcas. Young also serves Navy families at Whidbey Island NAC and the Naval Support Complex in Smokey Point.
