St Ann’s Church, located in Hope River, Prince Edward Island
is part of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Charlottetown. The present
church was constructed in 1954 by Father E. Dalton; it is the seventh
in less than 130 years.
In 1963, Father Denis Gallant, the pastor at the time, decided
to start serving Lobster Dinners in the basement of the church to
raise money to help pay off the existing $ 35,000 mortgage. The
parish was small, about 100 families at that time, all of modest
means, but rich with enthusiastic and hardworking ethics.
In the spring of 1964 the Church basement was set up to serve approximately
100 people per sitting. Dinners at that time were only held one
day a week, with the parishioners volunteering to prepare and serve
the suppers. A full course Lobster Supper at that time was $ 1.50.
By the end of the first season it was evident that this new adventure
had all the signs of success. Since then St Ann’s has tried
to add new features and new menu items to make St Ann’s what
it is today. During to peak season St Ann’s employs approximately
40 people, whose dedication to making St Ann’s Church Lobster
Suppers a success is our greatest asset.
St Ann’s is a Non Profit Organization that dispersed a portion
of its profits to different charities that are close to the heart
of the community. St Ann’s the Original Church Lobster Suppers
of Prince Edward Island has become a success story far beyond its
dreams since 1963.
