WESTFIELD – More than 100 senior members of Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament Parish in Westfield filled the parish center in December for the annual Advent Senior Dinner. Members of the 2014 Confirmation class acted as waiters and served the senior parishioners. The menu this year consisted of roast pork and gravy, roasted potatoes, soup, and vegetables. The Confirmation class contributed Christmas cookies for dessert. From setting the tables, to serving the meal and drinks, and the cleanup, the event provides a unique opportunity for the young high school students to serve the older members of Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament Church. The senior parishioners will reciprocate in the spring when they serve a meal to the Confirmation class. Following the dinner at the parish center, an army of students headed out with meals-to-go to deliver to more than 30 homebound parishioners.
