This past Saturday, we were overjoyed to announce that the 14th annual Night of Light Celebration raised more than $1.6M for the children and families we serve! Since then, that number has grown to
$1,790,498
For the fifth year in a row, the Night of Light set new records—and it’s because of the generosity of supporters like you. Thank you!
873 attendees
More friends, donors, and champions of Catholic schools than ever before attended this year’s event, helping propel our mission to new heights. A special thanks to Archbishop Hebda; our alumni speaker, Tim Nguyen; and Aim Higher Scholar Parent, Diana Mulenga.
The scholarships we provide to children are only possible with your help. We encourage you to make a gift if you were not able to attend.
Please enjoy these photo galleries that capture the great spirit of the Night of Light 2026!
