Out there… Academy Award-nominated actor Chazz Palminteri and his wife, Gianna, of Bedford, N.Y., were thanked for their charitable work with the Cabrini Mission Foundation at a reception at the Bedford Playhouse in Bedford, N.Y.

After their daughter Gabriella led a high school project to donate supplies to the foundation last year, the Palminteri family became advocates of the Charism and work of St. Frances Xavier Cabrini, the first Italian-American and U.S. citizen canonized as a saint by the Roman Catholic Church.
