The National Shrine, located in Chicago, continued its celebration of Mother Cabrini’s 80th anniversary of canonization with its annual benefit event.

Msgr. Kenneth Velo emceed the evening’s event, leading the attendees in fun, fellowship and philanthropy. Due to a very generous donor, the specific operational goal was met prior to our evening’s event. This allowed the ‘raise the paddle’ segment to generate additional funds for daily operational needs.
This year’s event also hosted an on-line auction which highlighted several trips and one-of-a-kind experiences. All of these exceeded our previous year’s benefit event totals.
We are beyond grateful for all the work the staff and volunteers, led by Barb Willis – Development Director, put into making this such a huge success and we thank all attendees and sponsors for their support. We are truly blessed!
