What is Heart of Holy Name?

This is the Cathedral’s major fundraising event of the year.  Proceeds from the event go to Holy Name Cathedral’s mission and ministries including our liturgies and music, evangelization programs, service ministries and fellowship opportunities.

Is this the Gala?

Similar to the Gala, this is the Cathedral’s major fundraising event of the year.

But based on feedback from parishioners and staff including those that led the Gala in recent years, this year’s event is slightly different from the Gala.

There will be a variety of table sizes just right for your guests, family, and friends.

How do I reserve tickets?
