The Gouverneur community is abuzz about the scrumptious St. James Fish Fry this Lenten season. Nearly 300 meals were served up by volunteers on Friday, March 1 in the St. James School gymnasium. The crowd also enjoyed the opportunity to support St. James School by shopping at the Scholastic Book Fair.
The St. James Fish Fry series is held annually to raise funds for the St. James School. For over 60 years, the school has provided outstanding education to the whole community. The mission of St. James Parish School is to provide a quality Catholic education for students to grow spiritually, academically, socially, and physically, in partnership with families and in harmony with the specific gifts given by God to each student.

The St. James Fish Fry is a family tradition in Gouverneur each Lenten season. Available for eat-in or takeout, the meals include fish, a choice of French fries or mac and cheese, coleslaw, roll and butter, and a choice of dessert – all for the nominal price of $15 per meal.
The St. James Fish Fry is made possible due to its dedicated team of volunteers and generous donations and contributions from members of the Gouverneur community. Organizers were pleased with the turnout and support from community members. Teen helpers are always welcome to volunteer. For more information, call 315-287-0130.
There are only four more fish fry dinners left in the 2024 Lenten Season.
