MINNEAPOLIS, MN [MW Communications] - On Sunday, January 10, the 11th annual Minneapolis Deanery fund-raising dinner in support of diocesan seminarians took place in Northeast Minneapolis. Over 60 of the faithful gathered at the Erte Resaurant for a dinner that also served as a memorial meal honoring our beloved Archbishop Job.

Polly Walker spoke about the history of these meals, Vladyka's commitment to his seminarians, and also presented a moving slide show of his recent summer trip to Slovakia. His Grace, Bishop Tikhon of Philadelphia and Eastern Pennsylvania spoke about the work of our seminaries and the lives of our seminarians. We sang Memory Eternal and shared reminiscences concerning the Archbishop.

In the past decade, these dinners have raised over $30,000 in support of diocesan seminarians.
