GALA
This Saturday we held our 9th annual Webfoot Gala. We were so happy to have Fr. Mike Fones, previous pastor, and Fr. Albert Felice-Pace, jubilarian, here to celebrate. Auction items included a week's stay at a condo in Portugal, a Magical Birthday party by Fr. Daniel, a dinner with Fr. David, and a hike and dinner with Fr. Augustine. We honored Fr. Albert for his fifty years as a priest with pictures of his time here at the Newman Center. Wonderful entertainment was provided by Kirstin Nusser and Samuel Adams, Elvis, and Mind the Gap. We thank all of you who came and look forward to next year's ten year anniversary. We are already planning a blowout celebration. We want to thank all those who were on the Gala planning committee, those who set up and cleaned up, the auctioneers and Emcees, Lenny Madarang for taking great photos, Essig Entertainment, the servers, parkers, and musicians who made this wonderful night possible.
