Friends of Sacred Heart Major Seminary will gather once again to celebrate the mission of the seminary. We are pleased to host the twelfth annual dinner, Gala 2009, at The Ritz-Carlton in Dearborn, on Wednesday, June 10.

This year's Gala includes a special highlight for our guests. We invite all of our supporters to enjoy the opportunity to meet and welcome Archbishop Allen Vigneron, the new leader of the Archdiocese of Detroit. Archbishop Vigneron has a long history with Sacred Heart, as high school and college alumnus (1962-1970); an instructor, professor and academic dean (1985-1991); and as rector/president (1994-2003).

 

Thank you, Knights of Columbus Michigan State Council, for serving once again as event sponsor.

We invite you to prayerfully consider joining our mission as a sponsor, an advertiser or a guest of the Gala. Together we can provide the needed support to prepare our future priests, deacons and lay ministers for apostolic work in our parishes.

 

If you, your family or friends are unable to join us at the Gala, consider entering the Gala raffle for an opportunity to win a 2010 Camaro SS, "a 21st century sports car for the young and young at heart," generously donated by Dick Genthe Chevrolet. Need not be present to win.
