A feast to remember: Photos courtesy St. Monica’s Parish is expecting more than 1,000 people to take part in its 27th annual Community Thanksgiving Dinner today. The dinner, which will be held from 3 to 6 p.m. in the parish auditorium on Seventh Street, is open to the homeless and street people, as well as anyone “who is poor, lonely, broken and struggling with life,” said Monsignor Lloyd Torgerson, pastor of St. Monica’s.
