Established in 1917, Sacred Heart Church’s St. Patrick’s Dinner is the longest continuous event in Lassen County. Of course, anything that has staying power for over a century has undergone changes. A case point is that a number of different church organizations that has sponsored it over the years. In 1955, it was the Catholic Ladies Altar Society who were in charge. That year, it was held on Sunday March 13 at the Lassen County Fairgrounds. The menu was a Italian style dinner, as in previous years, that included appetizers, salami, Italian peppers, olives—a dinner of spaghetti, roast beef, tossed salad, cake and ice cream.
