House. Ten of our own Diocesan Priests will bring their personal touch to
the bar and appetizer buffet line to compete for the title of “best celebrity
chef.” We are proud to announce that your Pastor, Father Linh Nguyen,
will be a participant. This festive evening will feature our celebrity cuisine,
an open bar, a live and silent auction, blackjack tables, raffles and multiple
door prizes! All of the proceeds from A Divine Affair will benefit the social
service mission our Diocese. A Divine Affair cannot be successful without
a “Divine Support System!” Sponsorship opportunities are still available
including The Archangel Sponsor level. This is a $500 opportunity for you
to sponsor Father Linh and it includes two tickets and reserved seats to the
event, signage, program, and podium recognition and 30 day recognition
on the website and Facebook page. For additional information, please
contact Cindy Mitchell at 253-1993 x 213 or cmitchell@cdlex.org. We look
