Greetings St. Francis Families!

We invite you to take a peak “behind the ropes” as St. Francis High School will pay homage to famous museums and art pieces of the world! Gather friends and family and enjoy a wonderful evening celebrating the St. Francis spirit. The evening begins with mass at 4:30 pm, for those who wish to attend, and is followed by the silent auction along with hosted cocktails and hors d’oeuvres in Serra Court. The silent auction offers a panoply of items ranging from $25 gift cards to “mini-live” auction items valued in the thousands. After all silent tables close, guests are invited into the gym, which is transformed into a lovely dining room. The highlight of the evening is our robust and spirited live auction! It features many exquisite trips, group parties, and unique items-take a look at some of the highlights below! The event concludes around 10:00 pm., when late-night Revelers are invited to kick of their heels and adorn cozy slippers at “The da Vinci Room” after-party in the CLC! 

You won’t want to miss THE event of the fall season – with over 500 expected to attend, make your RESERVATIONS now-click HERE!  For more information, please contact Melissa Deiro (mdeiro@stfrancishs.org) in the Advancement Department.
