How to Throw a Catholic dinner:
1. Buy Bacon
2. Invite Friends
3. Cook Bacon
4. Feast
Those are the 4 simple steps to throwing a party, and the Newman Center has mastered the technique. Last night our Metropolitan Emeritus hosted a dinner feast for the students of Newark. The fattened swine was slaughtered and the bacon was cooked. Last night's dinner was a collaborative effort by everyone in attendance (yes, even Katie). Steve and Delix executed the main course, a divine Bacon Mac 'N Cheese while Julian, Rhea, and Sherin created a delicious Chicken in spinach and rice.
Conversations were constant throughout the kitchen, but once the food hit the table and grace was said the room went silent. Not a sound was heard as the crowd devoured the feast we had all worked hard preparing. The silence soon ended, and the steady roar of good friends conversing after a long week continued into the night.
Nights like this remind me of how fortunate we are to be blessed with such a great community here in Newark. Not many people think of Newark as a place where one finds friends, let alone a community to be supported by. But here at the Newman Center, we are single-handedly disproving Newark's reputation of being the least friendliest place in the world.
God Bless,
Johnpaul
Metropolitan Emeritus
