Activity Center

Saint Jude the Apostle Parish and School celebrates its annual Gala with the theme of Notte Rosa.

Notte Rosa is the Italian summer's New Year's Eve on the Riviera.

Like the members of Saint Jude the Apostle Parish and School, the Italian community comes together as a team, working together to plan the event and meet, socialize and celebrate.

An icon of the event is the color pink, which symbolizes the kindness and strong relationships within the dynamic community in Italy.

As the main fundraiser for the parish and school, the Gala is a fun evening for the Saint Jude Parish and School community filled with a silent auction, voice auction, elegant dinner, and dance.
