Bridegroom's Banquet deadline extended to Nov. 8!

The registration for our annual benefit dinner on Saturday, November 13, has been extended to Monday, November 8. We still have space left and we would love for more people to be able to join us! Registration is free and donations will be doubled!

We are also excited to announce the entertainment for this year's banquet: musicians Matthew Trovato and Natalia Wohar. They are both dear friends of ours, and Natalia is a budding Byzantine Catholic singer/songwriter who just released her first album! Visit this link to listen to or purchase her music. Click on the photo to the right to listen to her music video.
