Seven Sorrows Catholic Church in Middletown has announced its fish fry and its chocolate egg sale.

The chocolate eggs will be sold through Easter Sunday, April 9, or as long as supplies last. Customers may purchase peanut butter, coconut, or butter cream eggs coated in either milk chocolate or dark chocolate. The hand-dipped eggs will be sold for a fee per egg.

The 2.8-ounce eggs have received regional recognition through various media outlets. In 2019, nearly 81,000 eggs were sold through businesses, through direct orders, and at Seven Sorrows Parish. Roughly 6,000 pounds of peanut butter, 870 pounds of butter/margarine, and 4,320 pounds of chocolate were used. This year, 100 volunteers will prepare and distribute the eggs.

All eggs will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis while quantities last. Eggs will be sold at the Egg Store, located in the church parking lot at 280 N. Race St., Middletown. The Egg Store will be open on Mondays and Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.; Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and 4:30 to 6:30 p.m.; and Fridays from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., weather permitting, and while supplies last. Visitors should enter via Race Street for the safety of the school children.

Eggs may also be purchased at the parish's weekly drive-through fish fry, as well as at several local businesses. Eggs will not be sold at either the parish or the school office this year.

The fish fry will be held as a drive-through at Seven Sorrows School, 360 E. Water St., Middletown, from 5 to 8 p.m. on Fridays through March 31. The school campus lot will only be accessible after 4:15 p.m.

The menu will include fish and chips, baked haddock, fried shrimp, pierogies, macaroni and cheese, fish sandwiches, coleslaw, and vegetables. Three desserts will be available: chocolate cake with peanut butter icing, chocolate fudge cake, and lemon berry mascarpone cake. The menu is subject to change.

No call-in orders may be placed. All orders will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Cash, check, and MasterCard, Visa, and Discover cards will be accepted.

For more than 25 years, the parish has been serving hungry patrons who come from throughout southcentral Pennsylvania to enjoy the meatless meals. In 2019, more than 5,000 pounds of haddock, 700 crab cakes, and 180 pounds of macaroni and cheese were served to more than 7,300 guests by at least 100 volunteers each week.
