The S.O.N.S. of Lake Erie's 9th annual fish fry at Emmaus Soup Kitchen will take on even more meaning this year as the organization hosts the event in remembrance of former director, Sister Mary Miller. 

The S.O.N.S. will honor her years of dedication serving the Erie Community. 

This first Sister Mary Miller Memorial Fish Fry will be held on Friday, October 4 at the soup kitchen. The fish fry will begin at 4:30 p.m. 

“We are so grateful to the S.O.N.S. for continuing to honor our beloved Sister Mary. Our guests so enjoy this annual treat. It is a blessing to all of us that the S.O.N.S. have donated and prepared the meal with such love and care for those who hunger in our city," said Sister Valerie Luckey, Director. 

Sister Mary Miller, OSB, died on May 14, 2023 at Mt. St. Benedict Monastery in Erie. On May 13, East 11th Street between German and Holland was dedicated as "Sister Mary Miller Way." 

The S.O.N.S. will serve batches of fresh Lake Erie perch and walleye caught by the Erie Sport Fishing Association.
