“You Sign Up – I Show Up”: Dinner & Conversation with Fr. Jeremy

Maria Hayes • July 16, 2025

Looking for a meaningful way to connect with your pastor? Fr. Jeremy Gries is inviting parishioners he hasn’t yet had the chance to visit with for dinner, conversation, and community — all in the comfort of your own home.


What is “You Sign Up – I Show Up”?

It’s exactly what it sounds like! You sign up for a dinner, and Fr. Jeremy will show up — ready to share a meal, engage in faith-filled conversation, and even offer a Home Blessing if you'd like.

This is a casual, 90-minute visit designed to build stronger relationships between pastor and parishioner without taking over your evening (or his!). Whether you're a young family, retired couple, or single parishioner, this is a great opportunity to get to know Fr. Jeremy better and share your experiences of parish life.


How to Sign Up

Spots are limited, so if you haven’t had a meal with Fr. Jeremy before, we encourage you to sign up soon. If you’ve already participated in the past, we kindly ask that you give others a chance this time around.

📅 Sign up now to host Fr. Jeremy for dinner – and let him come to you!
