The church and its parishioners are true passionate pierogy fans. This year, they held their 44th annual Lenten Pirohi Project, inspired and guided by America\u2019s Pirohi King, Fr. Stephen Dutko. Over 15,000 dozen pierogies were made and sold to benefit the church and its community outreach programs. Over the course of many events and functions, St. Michael\u2019s raised funds and gathered signatures (over 1,500!), hoping to repeat as this year\u2019s champion. If they do retain the title, St. Michael\u2019s will again donate the prize money to the Community Hunger Outreach Warehouse (CHOW), which annually distributes over 2 million pounds of food to district pantries.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pierogypocket.com\/profile_binghamton.html#\"><font color=\"#3266be\">Click here<\/font><\/a> to see pictures of Binghamton\u2019s pierogy pride.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.pierogypocket.com\/profile_binghamton.html#\"><font color=\"#3266be\">Click here<\/font><\/a> to see Binghamton\u2019s video.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Congratulations to Binghamton!<\/p>\n<p>I <a href=\"http:\/\/dozynki.corpuschristibuffalo.org\/pierogi.htm\">thought Corpus Christi and Buffalo had a shot<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, Buffalo lost out again to Binghamton&#8230;back to the drawing board.
