This year, we invite you to help that legacy continue at Light of Assisi, our Annual Gala & Auction.

The 2026 celebration holds special meaning as the Church observes the special Year of Saint Francis, commemorating the 800th anniversary of his passing into eternal life. Inspired by Saint Francis and his enduring example of faith, generosity, peace, and care for others, our gala celebrates the light his life continues to bring to the world—and the light we are called to nurture within every St. Francis student.

Proceeds from the Annual Gala & Auction directly support the mission of St. Francis of Assisi Elementary School. Funds raised help strengthen the academic programs, faith formation, student enrichment, technology, campus resources, and educational opportunities that make a St. Francis education so meaningful. Tuition alone does not cover the full cost of educating each student, making the generosity of our families, alumni, parishioners, community partners, and local businesses essential.

There are many ways to be part of Light of Assisi:

• Become an event sponsor
• Purchase a table and celebrate with our community
• Donate an item, service, or experience to the auction
• Make a monetary contribution
• Share this campaign with family, friends, alumni, and community partners

Every sponsorship, auction donation, ticket purchase, and financial gift makes a meaningful difference. Whether you have supported St. Francis for many years or are joining us for the first time, your generosity helps ensure that our students continue to receive an exceptional education rooted in faith, knowledge, compassion, and service.

Be part of the light. Support the Light of Assisi Annual Gala & Auction today.
