Catholic Lawyers Guild honors five at annual awards dinner
The Catholic Lawyers Guild Diocese of Brooklyn Chapter held its 39th annual awards dinner program in Coney Island on Thursday to mark the end of President Sara Gozo’s tenure and to hand out its yearly awards.
The dinner, held at Gargiulo’s Restaurant, was the guild’s best-attended event in years, drawing over 300 people.. The honorees included Rev. Msgr. Kieran Harrington, Hon. Nancy T. Sunshine, Hon. Patricia M. Di Mango, Hon. Lawrence Knipel, and Hon. David B. Vaughan.
“I thought it went very well and I was extremely pleased with the turnout,” Gozo said. “There were over 300 people, which is not only a record turnout for our group, but by a huge margin. We really knocked it out of the park.”
As it was Gozo’s final act as president of the guild, many on hand praised her for revitalizing the group. Gozo was presented with a Distinguished Service Award by past president Gregory M. LaSpina.
