Dear Friends, Welcome to our 2019 Gala in the Garden event! Thank you for your generous support of Mother Seton School. Tonight celebrates the beauty of a community working together to support the mission of Catholic education. Forming a Christ centered community is an important part of our mission and having the opportunity to gather with friends and families involved at Mother Seton school is truly a blessing. Our purpose this evening is to come together, have a good time and raise funds for our children as they strive for academic excellence. Our ability to offer students a multi-faceted program with strong academics, enhanced technology, and a range of enrichment activities depends on the generous support of benefactors. Your presence this evening is an opportunity to ensure the legacy of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton through the mission of our school. All of the proceeds from this event will provide for educational materials and technology for our students. Just as a garden offers many gifts in the sights and scents of nature, your support is a gift which offers our students many opportunities. For all that you share, I am truly grateful!
