Catholic Lawyers Guild honors five during annual dinner
The Catholic Lawyers Guild of Kings County honored five people including four judges during its annual dinner held at Gargiulo’s Restaurant in Coney Island on Thursday.
The guild stretches back to 1930s Brooklyn when a group of Catholic lawyers would meet regularly at St. Joseph’s College in Clinton Hill and then eventually St. Francis College.
Today, it holds a regular Red Mass each fall at the Cathedral Basilica of St. James, a regular Christmas event at Cafe Buon Gusto, a St. Patrick and St. Joseph event at Marco Polo and its annual dinner at Gargiulo’s. It also hosts other meetings for its more than 300 members throughout the year.
