Join Us for The Main Event – Saturday, February 14, 2026
We are excited to remind everyone that St. Patrick Catholic School’s Main Event is happening this Saturday, February 14, 2026, at the Hilton Garden Inn in Cedar Falls. This special evening begins at 5:00 p.m. and promises to be a wonderful night of community, celebration, and support for our school.
Guests will enjoy delicious hors d’oeuvres, an engaging live and silent auction, and fantastic entertainment by Midwest Dueling Pianos. The lively music and interactive performance are sure to make this a memorable evening for all who attend.
It is not too late to purchase tickets and join us for this exciting event! We would love to see you there as we come together to support the mission of St. Patrick Catholic School and the continued growth of our students.
If you are unable to attend in person, you can still participate. Our silent auction is currently live online, giving everyone the opportunity to bid on a variety of wonderful items and experiences from the comfort of home.
The Main Event is always a highlight of the year, bringing together parents, parishioners, alumni, and friends in support of Catholic education. Thank you for your continued generosity and commitment to our school. We look forward to celebrating with you this Saturday!
Blessings,
Mr. Wiebers
