          Parishioners and friends of St. Gregory packed the
          church hall on Friday, February 28 for this pre-Lenten
          event that has been a great success for the past
          fifteen years! The evening opened with David Kaye,
          Pittsburgh’s King of Comedy and a good friend of the
          parish. We all enjoyed Chris Nakis and Robert Mac,
          comedians who were both hilarious with their clean    Comedian David Kaye.  Father Valerian Michlik is pictured re-
