Welcome to the Annual Dinner hosted by the Catholic Community Foundation, a special black-tie event to celebrate generosity throughout the Archdiocese of New Orleans.
Every year, hundreds of people come together to connect with other fellow members of the Catholic Community. We also gather to recognize and honor the recipient(s) of the St. John Paul II Award.
This award acknowledges the outstanding qualities of Catholic individuals who show exceptional stewardship, strong moral character, and exemplary values.
