Last summer, three “Church Pierogi Ladies” were on the streets of Monessen, pumping gas and bagging groceries to promote the Epiphany of Our Lord Parish’s summer festival.
The three ladies dressed in handmade pierogi uniforms — similar to the costumes used for between-innings races at Pirates games. They will return this year for the parish’s Aug. 3-4 festival.
“Yes, the Church Pierogi Ladies will be back around the festival again this year,” said Robert Sassak, committee chair for the festival.
The parish won a Pittsburgh-wide pierogi award last year for its homemade goods, which were described by voters as “made with love” and “delicious, homemade, cheesy, buttery goodness.”
