Grand Junction, Colo. (KKCO) –Catholic families during the season of lent abstain from eating meat on Fridays.

For about ten years now the Immaculate Heart of Mary, on 26 1/2 road , has held a Friday fish fry, during the lent season.

The fish fry is put on by the Knights of Columbus. Those who attend say its a great community builder. "We’re all in it together and its a good time to visit and meet new people and just enjoy life,” says Carroll Multz, a parish member.

Friday fish fry goes through the Lent season, from 4 till 7 pm. It cost adults $8, kids $7, and children under 6 eat free. The proceeds allow the Knights of Columbus to help other local charities.
