Priest Appreciation Dinner in Boston



This evening the Archdiocese of Boston held a Priest Appreciation Dinner with three purposes in mind: to honor the priests of the archdiocese in this Year for Priests; to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the ordination of Cardinal Sean O'Malley as a bishop; and to raise money for the Clergy Funds which support sick and retired priests. Over 1,600 people, including some 300 priests attended the dinner. Speakers included: former Mayor of Boston and former US Ambassador to the Holy See, Raymond Flynn; former President of the Massachusetts State Senate, William Bulger, Fr. John McGinnis; Clergy Fund advisor, Joseph D'Arrigo; and Cardinal Sean O'Malley.

Part of the program included the debut of the video above, produced by CatholicTV for the Year for Priests.
