Dinner and Pope

We have reached 95% or $1,135,400 toward our ambitious $1.2 million dollar fundraising goal for this year’s Franciscan
Dinner and Pope Francis Award, which will be held at the Westin Boston Waterfront Hotel on Wednesday, October 30th.

Francis Award
This is an evening to celebrate and support the extraordinary work of the Franciscan Friars on Arch Street.
This year the focus is on the women we serve –the poor, the alienated and those who seek compassion
and acceptance. This year’s Pope Francis Award recipient is Regina M. Pisa, Chairman Emeritus
Goodwin; a passionate advocate for women and children. Regina lives her Catholic values as a
philanthropist who is committed to social justice and taking action with courage, vision, compassion
and humility.
Mayor Martin J. Walsh and Ms. Lorrie Higgins will serve as Honorary Chairs.
Jo-Anne and Jim Gallagher are graciously serving as co-chairs.
Thank you to all of our individual and corporate sponsors.
