On Friday May 7th our parish was well represented at the Frank Botti Benefit Dinner. From our parish the following parishioners attended the dinner: Angela and Dominick Bucci, Claire and August Centrella, Fr. Joseph and Renata Cyman, Edward and Beverly Obssuth, Bob and Merry Sleece, Hughie and Beverly Vickerilla.
The Passaic Valley Unico organized the dinner held at the Bethwood, Totowa, to support the Botti family who have gone through financial struggles due to medical expenses for their son, Frank. Frank and his twin brother were prematurely born fourteen years ago. Frank was born with many complications and went through several operations. He still faces the need for more medical attention in the future.
Holy Cross Parish had a special collection held in March 2010. The collected money was sent to the Botti Family. In addition to that, the Parish Committee members decided to donate $250 to the Botti Family at the dinner. Fr. Joseph was asked to say the grace before the dinner.
Dominick Bucci, member of UNICO and Fr. Joseph were honored to present the $250 check on behalf of parishioners of Holy Cross. We wish the best to Frank Botti and his dear family. We also ask that you keep them in our prayers as we will.
