Turkey Carving Contest

The St. Vincent de Paul Society of Baton Rouge hosted their annual Thanksgiving Turkey Carving Contest on Nov. 27. Leaders from around the East Baton Rouge area competed to see who had the best carving technique and was most creative in the presentation of their turkey. Bishop
Micheal G. Duca participated and led the opening prayer for the ceremony. The turkeys that the leaders carved were to be served the following day as part of the thousands of meals St. Vincent de Paul serves to families in need on Thanksgiving Day. Serving locations include the St. Vincent de Paul Dining Room, the Raising Cane’s River Center, the McKinley Alumni Center in Baton Rouge, and St. Gerard Majella Church in Baton Rouge.
