8th Annual Gala:

The Prize of Evangelization

A Recap of SPSE’s 8th Annual Gala: The Prize of Evangelization!

On October 19th, 222 friends came together to share an incredible evening at SPSE’s 8th Annual Gala: The Prize of Evangelization. We were so inspired and humbled to celebrate the work of our apostolate, look to the future, and receive God’s incredible provision through the generosity of so many supporters: our partners on mission!

This 2-minute video beautifully showcases the highlights of our evening:

UPDATE ON OUR GOAL: We are excited to report that at the gala, we EXCEEDED our dream goal of $125,000. Praise God! Total, counting all the gifts that night and the gifts committed monthly over the next year, we have raised $133,228!!

NEW DREAM GOAL: The success of the gala has inspired us to set a NEW dream goal of $150,000 (an additional $16,772), so please consider contributing!

With these funds, as we announced at the gala, we intend to focus on three accelerators in the next year to bring our work to the next level:

  1. Advance our strategic, targeted marketing to reach thousands of new souls across the country,
  2. Build and launch our “Proclaiming Salvation” course in our Online School of Evangelization, and
  3. Establish a new endowment through the Catholic Foundation of Michigan as we look to the future of Catholic street evangelization.

Thank you for sharing in our vision to reach more souls as we continue to cement SPSE as a nationally-known and recognized organization that focuses on the very root importance of sharing the Good News, the way the original apostles of Jesus did!

 

God bless you,
