The fundraiser is an essential part of the Shrine’s budget. It helps maintain 14,000 sq. ft. of gardens, 46 acres, 10 buildings, over 1 mile of trails, 2 miles of roads and parking lots.
The Shrine is self-sustaining and receives no supplemental financial support.
Thank you!
A Yearly Tradition
The Shrine’s Annual Fundraiser, known over the years by several names, has always been a fun event that has contributed to balancing the budget, accomplishing projects, covering unforeseen expenses, and, at times, putting money away for long-term financial stability.
The 2027 fundraiser has three parts:
Fundraiser Dinner - January 30 @ 7pm, St. Paul's Parish Hall
Dinner will be prepared by the Shrine Board and include Salad, Entrée, Vegetables and Bread. The dinner has no set fee - free will offerings are welcome.
Dessert Auction
Leave room for some awesome dessert! Funds from the Dessert Auction help keep the Shrine beautiful!
If you don't need any auction items but want to help the Shrine, this part of the fundraiser is for you! Every $1 you donate to the fundraiser = $3 to the Shrine. Two families will each match dollar for dollar up to $10,000 for each dollar donated to the fundraiser.
If we receive $10,000 in donations, another $10,000 will be donated by one family and another $10,000 by a family who wish to remain anonymous.
Matching gifts could bring as much as $30,000 to the Shrine for the 2027 Fundraiser.
To make a matching donation, make a donation on our Donate page.
Volunteers, the Backbone of the Shrine!
From the beach stones gathered that make up the walls of the Shrine Chapel to the plants that grace the Marian and Biblical Gardens, all are the work of volunteers giving their time for the greater glory of God. Are you being called to this work?
