Italian dinner to assist 2022 World Youth Day pilgrims

With the recent World Youth Day in Panama now concluded, Alaskan youth are looking forward to the next global gathering of Catholic young people in Portugal in 2022.

One of the keys to getting young people to World Youth Day is helping them cover the travel costs. To this end, St. Benedict Church will be hosting an Italian dinner and auction on March 30, 6-9 p.m. in the parish hall.

The event will include a seven course homemade Italian dinner. It will also feature a live and silent auction.
