St. Joe Auction 2026

Join us for the 2026 St. Joe Auction taking place Friday, May 1, at Morris Park Country Club in South Bend! Cocktail hour & silent auction to begin at 6:30, followed by dinner and live auction.

Our theme this year is the “Saint Joseph Grade School Garden Party,” symbolizing the seeds of change we are planting together. Just as a garden requires care and community to flourish, your support at this year’s auction helps our mission bloom to its fullest potential.

Seating is limited so we recommend purchasing your tickets soon! Each ticket includes open bar, fine dining, and live auction entertainment.

Thank you for supporting Saint Joseph Grade School, the educational ministry of Saint Joseph Parish. Your contribution helps us to continue our mission of educating hearts and minds in the Holy Cross tradition, making God known, loved, and served.
