Hosted by Father Stan, Deacon Greg, and Deacon Bruce

Gather around the beautifully set rectory table for an unforgettable and intimate evening hosted by our parish clergy. This exclusive experience for eight guests features a gourmet, clergy-prepared Prime Rib dinner, complete with handcrafted cocktails, wine pairings, and a decadent chocolate lava cake finale.

Throughout the night, Father Stan and the Deacons will welcome you warmly, prepare and serve each course, and share in rich conversation, laughter, stories, and fellowship. Three volunteer helpers will quietly support the evening, allowing the clergy to remain fully present with their guests.

This private dinner is more than a meal - it is an encounter with the heart of our parish. A rare, meaningful, joy-filled night you will cherish for years.

Bid generously! This is a premier experience of the Saints Gala!
