From the 2018 Inaugural Gala

This was an elegant evening of dining and entertainment, Hollywood-style. From the red carpet, cocktails, dinner, the fashion show, the awards, dancing, it was truly an exceptional evening. The venue was fantastic. I do not think that in the history of the Parish of St. Thomas, there was ever an event held in its honor, as classy as this gala. "We'll be back!“
