St. Gabriel’s Gala Fundraiser,

About the event

About the Gala
​Welcome to the St. Gabriel’s Parish Hall Remodel Fundraising Gala — a special evening dedicated to strengthening our parish community and supporting a vital milestone in the life of our parish.
St. Gabriel’s Parish has been a place of faith, fellowship, and service in Burlington since 1962. Rooted in our Catholic tradition and enriched by our diverse, multi-cultural community, we gather each week for worship, fellowship, and shared ministry. Our parish hall has long served as the heart of parish life — hosting youth activities, parish groups, celebrations, and gatherings that bring us together in Christ’s love.
Over the past year, significant renovations have been underway at St. Gabriel’s, including structural improvements and upgrades to our facilities. As part of this work, we are undertaking a much-needed remodel of the parish hall — including updated washrooms, improved accessibility, and a rejuvenated space where families, ministries, and parish groups can gather with comfort and dignity.
The funds raised at this gala will help bring this vision to life — ensuring the parish hall continues to be a welcoming, vibrant hub for worship, fellowship, and community support for generations to come. Join us for an elegant evening of dining, community, and celebration, as we come together to support this transformational project and strengthen the bonds that make St. Gabriel’s a true spiritual home.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to each and every one of you for your generosity, encouragement, and faithful support of the St. Gabriel’s Parish Hall Remodel. Your participation in this gala is more than a gift — it is an investment in the life of our parish and in the many families, ministries, and neighbors who will gather in this renewed space for years to come.
Because of you, our parish hall will continue to be a place where faith is shared, friendships are formed, and our community grows stronger in service to one another. We are deeply grateful for your commitment to St. Gabriel’s and for walking with us as we build for the future.
