2025 St. Anthony catholic school gala
A Night with Purpose
Join us under the stars on Saturday, July 19, 2025, for The St. Anthony Starlit Soirée Gala. Set in a nostalgic barn nestled in the heart of the White Mountains, this elegant evening promises joy, connection, and lasting impact. Together we will raise essential funds for the future home of St. Anthony Catholic School—an investment in generations to come.
Our last gala in 2019 was unforgettable, and we are thrilled to answer the many heartfelt requests for its return.
This spirited gala promises a delightful blend of cocktails, entertainment, and meaningful connection, all in support of our $2.7 million campaign—with an ambitious goal of raising $160,000 on this special night.
