Save the date, get your tickets, and plan to join in for an evening of performances and art at the annual ILLUMINATE Gala!
The ILLUMINATE Gala is St. Hildegard’s Sanctuary’s main annual fundraising event, and has been highly lauded and greatly enjoyed. We are delighted to host this pre-Advent event.
The evening showcases performances and art by community members and long-standing friends of St. Hildegard’s Sanctuary. The event includes a Silent Auction of assorted art and related items, both lovely and whimsical at price ranges for all. And delectable refreshments.
