Deacon Zadworny, former Grand Knight of Council 7244 who founded the vocations dinner 22 years ago, noted the event’s “twofold purpose of honoring priests, deacons and the religious who were native sons and daughters of St. Hedwig Parish, Trenton. The first honoree was Bishop Kmiec is also former Bishop of Nashville and a former Trenton Diocesan Auxiliary Bishop.
