30 year Celebration was a HUGE success!
CVIF celebrated 30 years of service this month with an anniversary celebration!
Alumni, friends of CVIF, and family gathered to celebrate this momentous occasion. Honorees Dr. Michael McCarron and Kevin Johnson were given the prestigious awards for their years of service and dedication to Catholic Volunteers In Florida.
Bishop Grady Villas brought their own "cheering section" to help congratulate Executive Director Kevin Johnson. Some current volunteers came to lend a helping hand that night too! Founder Fr. Pat O'Neill, and CVIF's first Executive Director John Geiger, offered tales of how our program originated 30 years ago while guests were treated to a spread of hors d'oeuvres from Cathee Brady Catering. The evening was complete with a FANTASTIC Improv show from the local Orlando SAK Comedy Lab!
A special thanks to our Event Donors above, as well as St. James Cathedral School, Diocese of Orlando Bishop John Noonan and Chancellor for Administration Carol Brinati, CVIF Alumni and Board of Directors for helping to make this all come together.

February
Monthly Meeting
This month a few CVs from Orlando headed over to visit the Tampa Community. Jenna Gmeinder reflected on the weekend: We had a wonderful weekend visiting the Tampa girls for our February monthly meeting! During our time together on Saturday we visited the Catholic church Rachel and Kristin go for worship. We walked the church's beautiful grounds, which included the rosary path (pictures in attachment - signing cross, praying, walking path) that my Catholic friends experienced together. Later that evening were enjoyed attending mass at the church as well! We finished up on great weekend with a night of bonding over various board game, including Clue, Life, and Harry Potter!
