Friendraising was the order of the day for the Neighborhood Cocktail Parties. Friendships blossomed indeed as Holy Family parishioners gathered in the evening for a cup of Centennial cheer. Partygoers had a blast, a fun time was had by all, and the neighborhood cocktail parties were deemed a great success. People enjoyed the comfortable, casual atmosphere and were able to mingle on a personal basis, outside of the church walls, and away from the sometimes hectic pace of ministry. Monsignor likened these events to the "guilds" of days past, where similar gatherings were tied into spiritual matters. Many thanks to event chair, Tali Arnold, and to the hosts and co-hosts...your generosity made the Neighborhood Parties a smashing success!
