Hughes, a priest of the Diocese of Fall River who serves as chaplain at St. John Paul II High School and Preparatory Division in Hyannis, and as parochial vicar of Our Lady of Victory Parish, Centerville, and Our Lady of the Assumption Parish, Osterville. Leading a FACE Summer Gala committee planning this summer favorite are chairpersons Tom and Pat Marmen of Cotuit and parishioners of Our Lady of the Assumption Parish. Both have long been involved in Catholic Education. Guests at the Gala will have the opportunity to participate in the fun filled Gift Raffle, Live Auction and Fund-A-Scholarship with Cape renowned auctioneer, John Terrio, of Auction Knights.
