Sunset on the Hudson Cocktail Party

The Franciscan Friars of the Atonement are hosting their seventh annual Sunset on the Hudson cocktail party on Thursday, May 12 at 6:30 pm at X20 - Xaviars on the Hudson, 71 Water Grant Street, Yonkers, New York. This promises to be an “Extraordinary Evening” with outstanding hors d’oeuvres and dessert from the kitchen of acclaimed chef-owner Peter X. Kelly. Peter personally determines a delightful menu of passed appetizers, hot and cold hors d’oeuvres, portions of his famous entrees, sushi and deserts. His signature dishes integrate French technique with Italian and Spanish influences and Asian embellishments to create a wholly original cuisine unique to the Hudson Valley. Live music and an incredible silent auction are also part of the festivities. The evening’s honorary chair is renowned author Mary Higgins Clark. Kacey Morabito, of Hudson Valley radio station WHUD, is the master of ceremonies.

Sunset on the Hudson benefits the ministries of Franciscan Friars of the Atonement—a Roman Catholic order of brothers and priests founded at Graymoor in Garrison, New York in 1898 by Father Paul Wattson. Their worldwide ministries include Christian unity; interreligious dialogue among Christians, Jews, Muslims, and Buddhists; serving the homeless and those suffering from alcoholism, drug addictions, and HIV/AIDS; preaching the gospel in parishes around the world, and offering respite and hope to those in need of spiritual renewal.

Tickets for Sunset on the Hudson are $185 per person and reservations will be accepted until May 9. Journal ads are due by May 5. For information and tickets, call (845) 424-2137 or visit www.AtonementFriars.org/Sunset.
