DEKALB — On Saturday, May 20, members of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in DeKalb will serve lobsters for their annual Lobster Boil at the church on 900 Normal Road DeKalb. The lobsters come straight from Massachusetts, and anyone interested has until Monday, May 15, to make an order for lobsters, whether alive or cooked.

The Lobster Boil tradition has existed within St. Paul’s for 48 years. Edward Fitzgerald, who moved to DeKalb from Massachusetts, would boil lobsters for the General Electric staff in DeKalb.
In 1969, Norma Fitzgerald and Mary Roberts organized the first Lobster Boil. Since then, St. Paul’s has contributed more than 50 percent of the profits from the Lobster Boil to local charities and agencies such as Safe Passage, Voluntary Action Center and Hope Haven. The leftover money goes to St. Paul’s church to fund various activities.
