Welcome to the

St. Charles Auction Gala May 3, 2014

Dear Friends of St. Charles, Welcome to the inaugural St. Charles Auction Gala — thank you for coming! Tonight promises to be a special evening, as well as a wonderful opportunity to come together and strengthen the bonds we share, to visit with family and friends, and to charitably and generously fund and support the outstanding spiritual and educational traditions of St. Charles Borromeo Parish and School. The St. Charles Auction Gala will certainly be a night to remember. The room has been magically transformed to create a warm and inviting ambiance for you. Enjoy live jazz music featuring the Tim Belden Trio, savory treats, and delicious desserts. Wine, beer, and other adult beverages are available, for, as Scripture says, “When taken freely, and at the proper time, they bring joy to the heart, and good cheer and merriment" (Sir 31:28). We invite you to fully enter into the events of the evening. Be it the exciting specialty games of chance, the multiple raffle drawings, the silent auction/basket offerings, the enticing and robust live auction segment, or the heartwarming Fund-A-Need appeal for the school — there are so many fun and entertaining ways to participate with your generosity! Of course, the St. Charles Auction Gala is so much more than a fundraiser. It is true that we rely on your generosity to continue to offer the excellent ministries, programs, and academic curriculum we’ve come to expect from St. Charles Parish and School. However, it is also a celebration of who we collectively are — a Christian community with a higher purpose. As the renowned spiritual author Fr. Henri Nouwen once noted, “Parishes and schools aren’t just consumers of parishioners’ and parents’ money; they are conduits to investment in the great mission of the Kingdom.” Thank you for your continued generosity and support of St. Charles Parish and School! May God bless you. Have a wonderful evening! Fr. Paul La Fontaine Mr. John Hartnett Pastor Principal
