St. Francis Xavier College Church will hold our Night of Wonders Gala on Friday, November 17, 2023 at the Coronado from 6:30pm to 10:30pm. For the past ten years, we have had the pleasure of holding the annual Gala to support the many ministries at College Church, including:

• Assisting those experiencing poverty with obtaining a birth certificate or state ID
• Forming our youth in Ignatian Spirituality and their Catholic Faith
• Offering sacred liturgies with beautiful music 
• Journeying to become an anti-racist community
• Providing faith enrichment to lay men and women to more fully live the Gospel.

St. Francis Xavier, founded in 1841, is the oldest English speaking parish in the City of St. Louis. We are a Jesuit parish on the campus of Saint Louis University. Our parish community is made up of 1,200 households from more than 75 zip codes throughout the region. 

Our Gala is our largest fundraiser of the year. Along with our offertory collections, the gala makes it possible for us to continue and expand our service to our families and the broader community. 

Here’s how you can help: 

Please consider contributing an item to the live or silent auction. The item can be donated by you, your employer, or both. Some items that have sold well at past auctions include: weekend packages that include hotel, dinner and a performance or sporting event; family friendly events and activities, vacation rental homes. I have enclosed a donation form for you to complete. Or you may complete one online https://bit.ly/SFX-Auction-Form.
