Faith, hope, love, generosity, and gratitude filled the ballroom at the Eparchy of Parma’s “Evening of Hope” Gala, leaving us with vivid memories that are a gift from God.
The 145 guests gathered on Saturday, October 21, 2023, in the beautifully adorned Holiday Inn South events center in Independence, Ohio to celebrate the love of God and to support the Eparchy of Parma’s mission. The “Evening of Hope” featured a delicious meal, singing by students from St. Mary’s Byzantine Catholic School, a captivating story by the charismatic speaker, Bishop Nil Lushchak, Reverend Robert Jager spoke on the importance of the Benevolence Fund followed by a video presentation, and the successful Fund-A-Need. Sam Michel, parishioner from St. Nicholas, Munster, IN., served as the emcee for the evening. The event raised nearly $60,000 in support of the four established eparchial funds.
