School Auction
Dear Parish Family,
I'm writing with an important update about our annual auction. After much consideration, the Auction Committee has decided to move our in-person event to the spring to allow for more planning time and to ensure its success. Therefore, the 24th Annual Auction will now be held on Saturday, April 18, 2026. This year’s event will place a special emphasis on celebrating our capital campaign, with fundraising taking a secondary role. While there will still be items available for purchase, the selection will be more limited than in previous years, as we encourage everyone to direct their support toward the campaign. We look forward to seeing everyone there for what promises to be a wonderful evening.
In the meantime, our "Harvesting Gratitude" online auction is now live and linked below! It will run through November 30th and features our popular school kids' auction projects, several experiences, and time-sensitive items like Christmas and Easter pew reservations. You can click the link to view all the wonderful items and submit your bids.
This also seems like a fitting time to make a special request of our incredibly generous parishioners. If you are a regular donor to our annual auction, would you please prayerfully consider making a contribution to our capital campaign as well? Your support of the auction provides immediate, vital benefits for our students, while the capital campaign addresses the long-term needs of our school. Both are essential to our mission. If you are able to make a pledge to the capital campaign, you can use our convenient online form and find more information at: stjb.org/future.
As always, we are profoundly grateful for your generosity. It is through your support that we are able to provide an exceptional Catholic education for our children.
God bless,
Fr. Joe
