Newman Gala
The Newman Gala is a yearly fundraising event to celebrate our CSC community through an evening of good company and entertainment.
Mark your calendars for the 2024 gala in honor of Fr. Gary Braun’s retirement at The Ritz-Carlton in St. Louis on Nov. 2, 2024.
More information will be available in summer 2024!
Past Gala Contributors
The Annual Newman Gala is the culmination of countless gifts of time, treasure and talent contributed by numerous people — the various committees that organize and plan the event, the many individuals who procure auction items, the students and adults who volunteer the night of the event, and the supporters of the community who generously contribute financial resources.
