Holiday Pierogi Pre-Order Begins in October

The Knights of Columbus Cardinal Stritch Council 4620 of St. Mary’s are taking early pre-orders for their annual Holiday Pierogi Sale to be held on Saturday, November 12, 2022 from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

All pre-orders can be picked-up on that day at the Lake County Fairgrounds, just time for family gatherings in November and December.

For those who do not pre-order pierogi, there will be a limited quantity of pierogi available for purchase on Saturday at the fairgrounds as well, while supply lasts.

Since 2017, the Knights of Columbus council of St. Mary Catholic Church has been selling dozens of packages of a frozen pierogi twice a year as their main fundraiser.  They offer all varieties of pierogi in the fall such as meat, cheese, potato and fruit filled for the holidays and the meatless varieties are sold at the beginning of the Catholic Lenten season around Easter.  The proceeds help Council 4620 meet yearly expenses and enable them the resources to help others. 

Last year’s sale was in the south parking lot of their home parish, St. Mary Church. This year, the Knights decided they will be distributing pre-sale orders and selling pierogi to walk up traffic from the Lake County Fairgrounds in Crown Point. 

The pierogi are made in Chicago by Alexandra’s Home Made Pierogi.

As the quality of these delicious dumplings have not changed, price has increased. The price of a package of a dozen pierogi or a package of six blintzes is now $7.00 for pre-orders and $8.00 a dozen the day of sale.

Pre-ordering and payment is available online on the Cardinal Stritch Council website at www.cpkofc4620.org/holiday-pierogi/ or by the order forms distributed in the St. Mary mass bulletins leading up to the pre-order deadline of November 6th.  Order forms are also available at a number of locations around Crown Point.
