Gala News – 2024 Gala – Mission Brief
Mission Sponsorship
Are you interested in sponsoring this year’s Mission Possible Gala? This year’s sponsorship materials are out and we are excited to offer a wide range of sponsorship levels and opportunities to be involved. Sponsors are critical to the gala’s success, and we are so grateful for our community’s generosity and involvement.
Auction Asks
Does your family have access to anything special – even if you don’t think it’s that special? This could be a family vacation home, sporting event tickets, connections to concert venues, singers, athletes, etc. We are always looking for additional auction items that can be packaged with the current packages building within our classes, or that can stand alone as live or silent auction items.
Please feel free to email those ideas or items to svdpgala2024@gmail.com – no item or idea is too big, too small or too out there!
It’s Party Time!
Gala parties are a wonderful tradition at St. Vincent de Paul that help build the bonds of our community and are an excellent source of fundraising. Hosted “Parties” are social fundraising events hosted by an SVdP family or group of families who share in the cost of putting together their event. Paid admission is open to the school community and all proceeds go to SVdP. Our goal is to have 2-4 parties, per grade available for purchase at the Gala silent auction.
Have a great idea for a kid or adult party? Submit your intent to host a party here!
SVdP Beanies
We have a limited quantity of the SVDP Mission Possible Beanies left. If you are interested in purchasing one for $25, do so here.

Celebrate the spirit of the season with us at our monthly Family Adoration this Sunday, December 10th, at 5 pm in the church. Revel in the enchanting melodies performed by our Dominican Sisters that promise to uplift your spirits.
Guided by the warmth of our beloved Father Hilton, the Family Adoration offers a laid-back, family-friendly atmosphere. It’s a time to reflect, give thanks, and prepare for the joyous arrival of our Savior, Jesus Christ, during this Advent season. Amidst the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season, let this be a moment for you and your family to appreciate all the blessings in your lives. After the adoration, continue the celebration in the gym with dinner and drinks. And, who knows, with Christmas around the corner, Santa might make a surprise visit!
For those who haven’t attended yet, we extend a warm invitation. It’s a fantastic opportunity to meet other families in the school and parish. We’ve welcomed new families, those returning to the church, and those seeking a genuine faith-based community. All are welcome, and we can’t wait to see you this Sunday! Please RSVP to Chrissy Musgrove at chrissylmusgrove@gmail.com
Please let us know if you can join us this Sunday, and if you feel inclined to contribute, we are seeking volunteers to provide food or drinks. Sign up here. Wishing you and your loved ones a Merry Christmas – The Akers, Kruegers & Musgroves
