Opening Reception and Dinner


On September 25, 2006, Cor Unum hosted a thank-you reception and dinner for its major sponsors to celebrate the imminent grand opening of the center. Father Paul formally blessed the Cor Unum building, asking for God's protection and assistance. Cardinal Sean O'Malley, who was in Rome at the time, sent a special message expressing how happy the Archdiocese of Boston was to support the center. The dinner was held at the Saint Patrick Parish Center, with catering compliments of The Brutole Restaurant. Conan O'Brien, long-time friend of Cor Unum, was part of the celebration, and the following day helped lead a large media event at the center
