Three Prominent Supporters Honored at Franciscan Friars’ Annual Dinner

The Franciscan Friars of the Atonement presented awards to three philanthropists during their 33rd annual Sharing Hope Celebration dinner on Oct. 2 in Manhattan. The event, held at The Pierre Hotel, recognized individuals for their commitment to the friars' mission and charism of reconciliation.

Approximately 220 guests attended the dinner. Proceeds from the gathering support the friars' ministries for the poor and for people struggling with addiction.

Fr. Emil Tomaskovic, SA, the minister general of the friars, told attendees that everyone is called to be a messenger of hope. He invited guests to visit Graymoor, the friars' base in Garrison.
