Thirty-fifth Anniversary Banquet
Thursday evening, April 18, 2013
Our best ever!
Thank you. You made it happen!
On Thursday evening, April 18, friends, community leaders, sponsors, volunteers, and employees of St. Vincent DePaul Mission gathered to observe the thirty-fifth anniversary of the Mission’s service to the poorest in our communities. It was a moment to reflect on achievements of the past and the challenges of the future, to be thankful for the generous effort of veteran volunteers and be inspired by the enthusiasm of our newest.
The evening program highlighted the remarkable ways in which a certain few have served. In recognition of their exceptional service, the Father Cascia Service Award was presented by Archbishop Henry Mansell, president of St. Vincent DePaul Mission, and Rev. Joseph Donnelly, chairman, to the following: Atty. Donald McGill, founding member of the board of directors, Mr. Alphonse Pelosi, a past vice-president of the board, Mr. Paul Healey, current secretary of the board, and Naugatuck Valley Community College, represented by Dr. Daisy Cocco DeFilippis, president of NVCC, along with staff and students. Each honoree also received a citation from the city, presented by Aldermanic President Paul Pernerewski, and a citation from the state presented by Representative Victor Cuevas of the 75th assembly district. The 2013 awardees have, in their own way, exemplified the spirit of service and the dedication of Father Philip Cascia who founded the Mission in 1978 and served as its chief officer, counselor, and guide throughout the early years of operation.
We also extend a word of thanks to Tom Chute of WATR who graciously hosted our program, to Lee Dimo for his music and to Matt Abdifar representing Congresswoman Susan Estey. We are especially grateful for the hard work of the Banquet Committee including Emma Barone, Barbara Fortier, Rita Rossi, Johanna Dubauskas, Armand DeFeo, Mark Cavanaugh, Gary Beaulieu, and Dcns. Paul Iadarola and George Pettinico. Most of all, we offer our sincere thanks to all who attended for their good will and generous support.
