The annual Carnivale gala at Grace Cathedral combines glamour and hedonism, allowing attendees to connect over shared experiences as journalists. The night fosters a sense of community across diverse backgrounds, highlighted by the conversation with Rev. Miguel Bustos, who recalls the church's support during the AIDS crisis. The event encourages fellowship and camaraderie, providing a platform for old friends and new connections amidst lively festivities and spirited discussions, emphasizing the importance of community within the church environment at a time when many felt isolated.
"Church shouldn't just be a place for solemn religious events - it's a place for community to break bread together," Bustos said.
Carnivale blessed me with good gossipers and genuine connection for two years running.
I think I poached this one from Erin's IG story.
When few others would help, we found each other.
