On this journey, our school holds its annual Auction & Gala. Every auction is a celebration of all that

embodies the spirit of St. Francis. This year, our special evening, The World Awaits, will be held on

Saturday, November 4, 2023 at The Center, the day before our school’s 128th birthday. Whether you are a

patron, volunteer, staff or a friend, your presence, generosity and support help make this evening

memorable, exciting and most importantly, one filled with love for our school.

While most definitely a celebration, the annual auction and gala is more than just that. It is the one

evening of the year when we humbly come together to help financially support St. Francis of Assisi

Elementary School and offset the full cost to educate a single child (over $9000) that tuition ($7015)

cannot cover alone. In 2022, we were once again able to come together, in-person, under the tent at

Haggin Oaks. And what an evening it was! The fellowship, excitement, joy, and great outfits were beyond

our expectation. With the help of our many sponsors, donors, and active participants, we exceeded any

expectations and raised over $90,000.00. Your generosity and support are key to the viability and

longevity of our school.
