Join us for our 2nd Annual Angelico Gala on Thursday, June 12.

This year, we are honored to welcome Bishop Earl K. Fernandes of the Diocese of Columbus as our keynote speaker and to present the Fra Angelico Award to Dr. Mary Catherine Levri, a gifted musician, scholar, and teacher who has shaped the landscape of sacred music in our region and beyond.

The Angelico Gala is more than an evening of fine art, music, and food—it is a rallying point for cultural renewal. It is quickly becoming one of the most important local Catholic cultural events of the year, drawing together artists, patrons, and faithful Catholics who believe in the power of beauty to lead souls to Christ.
