Hundreds gathered with friends for lunch and danced to the smooth tunes of “To the Max” during the annual Afternoon of Jazz, Plus fundraiser held April 23 at Auletto Caterers in Almonesson. Now in its 31st year, the event benefits the Black Catholic Ministry Commission Scholarship Fund, which awards monies to eighth-grade students entering Catholic high schools within the Diocese.
Freshmen Chukwudi Obasi, Maximus D. McNeill and Maya Mieles, seen above with Father Vincent Guest, who were among last year’s recipients, attended the event, thanking supporters and sharing about their Catholic high school experiences thus far. Also among those in attendance: Deacon Bill Johnson; Cheryl Wright, BCMC chairwoman; Father Gerard Marable; Msgr. John Burton, and Cherryl Summers, BCMC pastoral associate. (Photos – Alan M. Dumoff)
