Catholic Charities Gala 2025

The gala is a night for friends, colleagues and families – all supporters of Catholic Charities – to come together for a night of celebration.

About The Gala

Join CEO Jim Malloy and members of the Board of Directors for the 40th anniversary Catholic Charities Gala. Festivities begin with a cocktail reception and will include a short program and dinner. A few anniversary highlights will delight guests, and the event will be topped off with entertainment by Onyx and dancing.

The annual event provides vital funding to address the basic human needs of so many in our community who have nowhere else to turn. Regardless of social, economic or religious background, those in need of help and hope are uplifted by Catholic Charities and its many supporters.
