What is the Dinner/Auction?

The annual Dinner Auction serves as the largest fundraising event for St. Patrick’s Parish and supports the operating budget.  The 2010 “That’s Amore” event will be held on Saturday, February 13, at the DC Centre and will feature a silent auction, exciting oral auction and an elegant sit down dinner.

Oral Auction Spotlight

Some exciting auction items to plan ahead for:

• Dinner with Archbishop Lucas for 8
• Trip to Mesa AZ for a Chicago CUBS Spring Game and tailgate party
• Spiritual retreat hosted by Father Rodney for a small group - great for a MOMS group, group of friends or couples
• 2 great events at Brix!  Choose from a private wine tasting or a dinner for a larger group
• Great family trips, fun girls get aways and parties for large groups

Get your friends together and plan now! Catalogs will be passed out the weekend of February 5th/6th after all masses.
