Presented by BelGioioso Cheese, Inc., The White Gala to Honor the White Collar will raise much-needed funds for the clergy serving the Church and Catholic community in South Florida. This formal event (black & white attire suggested), featuring live entertainment by disco queen Gloria Gaynor, dinner and dancing, will support the spiritual and educational needs of seminarians in South Florida.

“Sixty years ago, Miami’s first bishop, the Most Rev. Coleman Carroll, had among his first priorities the establishment of seminaries to train future priests here in South Florida,” said Archbishop Thomas Wenski. “These seminaries have graduated some 500 priests who serve both in the Archdiocese and in Dioceses in Florida and Georgia.  Archbishop Carroll’s vision lives on and is strengthened through the support provided by this gala for the formation of future priests to serve us here in South Florida.”

  • Tom & Susan Abraham;
