Blooms, Bubbles, and Bossa Nova

Thank You for a Beautiful Evening!

On June 21, the Catholic Garden Network welcomed friends and supporters for an unforgettable summer evening of live bossa nova, garden-inspired refreshments, and community celebration. String lights twinkled overhead as guests mingled among flowers and flavors, all in support of food justice and care for creation. Thanks to the generosity of our guests and sponsors, the evening was a joyful success—advancing CGN’s mission and helping nourish our neighbors through the OLQP Food Pantry.
