This year’s Annual Gala will transport you to the heart of Louisiana with our enchanting "By the Bayou" theme. Join us at St. Columba School for an unforgettable evening celebrating community, creativity, and culture. Upon arrival, you’ll be welcomed with a cocktail hour featuring tantalizing hors d’oeuvres and the soulful sounds of live music from the Saints Jazz Band.

The bar will feature a signature Bayou-inspired cocktail, local craft beer and canned beverages, and a selection of fine wines. Engage in exciting activities like a 360 photo booth, casino games, a silent auction featuring unique themed baskets lovingly curated by our St. Columba classes and donations from our local community, and a thrilling live auction.

At the heart of the live auction are the one-of-a-kind class projects, lovingly created and personalized by our students. From vibrant artwork to handcrafted keepsakes, these projects beautifully showcase the creativity and spirit of our St. Columba community, bringing the children’s talents and collaborative efforts to life. Alongside these treasures, you’ll also have the opportunity to bid on luxury vacation packages and exclusive experiences.

Dinner will be a culinary delight with a menu inspired by Bayou flavors. The night will conclude with a decadent beignet bar and lively dancing to music from our DJ.

Dress to impress and get ready to let the good times roll – laissez les bon temps rouler!
