St. Louis Center

2025 Paesano Dinner
2025-06-22 18:00 - 21:00 (America/Detroit) | Paesano Restaurant, 4311 Washtenaw Avenue, Ann Arbor, MI, 48104, United States
Let’s honor St. Louis Center’s Fr. Franklin Michael!

Please join us in our annual tradition of gathering at Paesano for an evening of friends, fine food, and fellowship for St. Louis Center.
Fr. Franklin, a member of the Servants of Charity, is a uniquely qualified Assistant CEO. Fr. Franklin arrived at St. Louis Center in September 2016. He soon began studies to earn a Masters of Social Work. He became Assistant CEO of St. Louis Center in December 2023. Originally from India, he is known for his playful attitude.
“Be a running stream” is his priestly motto, chosen from the book of the prophet Ezekiel 47:1-12. These verses tell about how the water running down from the altar does wonders in the world. Water never stops running and producing fruit and refreshment for the people. Fr. Franklin is a stream of God’s love flowing to all he encounters.

Mike & Bridget Roddy
Paesano former owners Mike & Bridget Roddy, at right, are close friends of St. Louis Center. Each year since 2008 they thoughtfully reserved a private dining room in their popular Ann Arbor restaurant for a five-course meal to pay special tribute to honor friends and supporters of the Center.
We thank the new proprietors, Rick, Andrew, and Elissa, for creating new friendships and continuing the tradition.
The dinner is limited to 50 guests and sells out quickly.
