Celebrate Priesthood 2024
11th anniversary

Thank you to all those who have donated or attended our annual Gala event to help fund our priests' retirement.  You can still make a gift of support! It's not too late! Click the button below to donate now. 

We have established an annual tradition 'Taste of the Diocese Gala' to thank our priests and to thank God for the gift of the priesthood in our lives. Our priests are always there for us, in good times and in challenging times. By their example, they inspire us with a message of the love that God extends to each of us through His Son, Jesus Christ. By their actions, their words and their commitment to the vocation of the priesthood, our priests have responded to a call to bring God’s saving grace into our lives so that we may strive to live the life of holiness to which we are all called.

Proceeds will benefit the Priests’ Retirement Fund, along with the Ash Wednesday Collection and bequests and gifts which designated this fund. We appreciate your generosity and willingness to help us raise these needed funds.
