Welcome to your 2020 VIRTUAL Gala in the Garden!

All the new details of our re-envisioned event can be found here. The week of the gala, you can expect daily emails from Sister Dominic with relevant information and fun engagement opportunities, and anyone who buys a mobile ticket will begin receiving helpful bidding information, how to’s, and reminders, as well.

It’s no secret that St. Vincent’s has the best parent community in town. We got this. And it’s going to be a blast!

Here’s what you need to know:

Where

Zoom, where else?!? You will join the gala program via Zoom, but do all your bidding on your mobile device. For the sake of simplicity, we recommend devoting one computer or smart TV to the broadcast, and using your phone for all mobile bidding. Explicit instructions will be communicated prior to the opening of the silent auction, and tech support is available during business hours the week before the gala and during the gala. We can help!

Who

All community members are welcome to attend the gala! Sister will send the link to the school community and the parish community will receive the link via Flocknote. If you would like to be a mobile bidder or buy dinner and your mobile bidding ticket - and we hope that you would! - you will need to complete that transaction on the ticket window of this website.

What

Quite simply, we are doing our best to approximate the gala that should have happened. We want it to feel familiar and comforting during a time that has been a struggle. This gala was originally designed to highlight our amazing faculty and staff, and that has not changed. Indeed, it’s all the more worthwhile. And it’s also about you, the parent community, because this group of parents really makes this place go.
