Holy posole

St. Francis Xavier Parish secretary Anna Cordova says their 85th year celebration was about to change. The city told the Catholic Church that its huge potluck doesn't meet city health regulations because it's open to the public.
"I can tell you it made a lot of people very sad. We actually had one parishioner call crying, stating her parents have served this. It's an 80 year tradition here," Cordova said.
Villanucci called up the owner of El Pinto Wednesday, who quickly volunteered to donate posole, bizcochitos, and tortillas for 500 church goers.

St. Francis Xavier was also offered free food by other restaurants and even other churches asked how they could help.

"We're very grateful for the support that we received from the community," Cordova said.

The owner of El Pinto said during tough economic times, everyone needs to lend a hand when possible.
The mayor's spokesperson says they'll be giving a revised version of the potluck ordinance to the City Council for its next meeting.
