1st Annual Winter Warm-up and Chili Cook-off

1st Annual Winter Warm-Up & Chili Cook-Off Competition for

Downtown Catholic Family of Parishes #22

The Family Faith Formation Teams of the Downtown Catholic Family of Parishes #22 announce the
1st Annual Winter Warm-Up and Chili Cook-Off Competition that will occur on Saturday, January 27,
2024. This free event will take place in the St. Louis Church Social Hall located on the lower level of
the church at 35 Edward Street, Buffalo, NY 14202.

This family-friendly event will be held from 5:00 pm – 7:30 pm (immediately after St. Louis’ 4:00
pm Mass). The event committee is putting out a call for all CHILI CHEFS to register for this Chili
Cook-Off Competition by January 25, 2024. To register contact Maureen Myers via email:
moey17@aol.com; or calling 716-512-8176. All chef contestants are to provide a pot of their
special chili, any toppings they plan for their chili, and all serving utensils.

For everyone else who plans on attending (and aren’t cooking chili) please bring a side dish to
share: cornbread, rice, salad, desserts, rolls, etc. The evening will also feature playing board
games and storytelling. Attendees are asked to bring their favorite board games to share/play. A
special hot chocolate bar will be available for the children.

This is a wonderful way for the members of the six parishes in the Downtown Catholic Family of
Parishes #22 to meet each other and enjoy an evening of community and fellowship. It’s also a
wonderful way to begin a new tradition and earn some “bragging rights” as the winner of the 1st
Annual Chili Cook-Off Competition! We invite all to join us: bring your appetites and warm smiles!
