There is still time to join us on May 7 for the 12th annual event to benefit Catholic Charities
Mark your calendar for an evening at Catholic Charities’ 12th Annual Inspired to Act gala on Thursday, May 7, 2026, at Stadium View Event Hall in Green Bay. This gathering is more than a fundraiser; it is an invitation to encounter the mission and be part of the life-changing work happening daily across our diocese.
Why attend? Join over three hundred donors in directly supporting neighbors in need: individuals and families seeking counseling, financial stability, support during pregnancy, and pathways out of crisis. Inspired to Act brings their stories to life, offering a powerful reminder that hope is real and transformation is possible when a community supports one another.
Guests can expect an uplifting and engaging evening, including a shared meal, impactful storytelling, and opportunities to connect with others who are passionate about serving the most vulnerable. You will hear how Catholic Charities is making a difference and how your support fuels that mission.
We are also excited to welcome Fr. Leo Patalinghug, a Catholic priest, author, and international speaker known for his food and faith movement, Plating Grace. He will be doing a cooking demo and talking about the importance of having a seat for everyone at the table. You will also be entertained by some of our Filipino priests as they sing for us before dinner.
Cannot attend but still wish to participate? Pray for a successful event. Consider donating to support our Fund the Mission portion of the evening. Check out the on-line auction and begin bidding on April 23. You do not need to be present to win.
Come be inspired. Come be part of the mission. Together, we can turn compassion into action.
