Breaking bread with friends is one of life’s great pleasures. Participants in the St. Anne Home’s 16th Annual Progressive Dinner were able to double, or even triple, that pleasure.

Select guests traveled to select homes for their first courses, then made their way to another location for their entrees. All guests assembled at the end of the evening for dessert at Ferrante’s Lakeview in Hempfield.

Hosts for the evening of food and fun were board member Sandra Brammell, Dr. Thomas and April DeGregory, Patty Lantzy, Sharon and Thomas Nies, board member Marie Zanotti and members of the Felician Sisters, sponsored by St. Vincent Archabbey.

Attendees included St. Anne Home President/CEO Jeff Long with his wife Lori Long, John and Gretchen Kline, Barth and Angie Getto, Mercedes Getto, Dr. Primo and Henna Bautista, Mary Dreliszak, June and Rob Czarnecki and Sisters Evelyn Labik, Michelle Shuda and Leah Turberville.

Event proceeds benefit the St. Felix Benevolent Care Fund, which was created to help the residents of Villa Angela in Greensburg, St. Anne Home’s personal care community. The fund enables qualified Villa Angela residents, who have exhausted their resources, to maintain their apartments and services.
