DAYTON DEANERY — Priests from throughout the Archdiocese of Cincinnati came together for a dinner May 2 to honor those marking special anniversaries this year.

The annual event, which was held at Bergamo Center in Dayton, provided the priests with the opportunity to pray, socialize and celebrate the faith, dedication and years of ministry of their fellow clergy.
