We are proud to present the First Annual St. Francis de Sales Gala, A Knight for the Future, a special evening celebrating faith, community, and the bright future of St. Francis.
We are especially honored to celebrate Catherine Thompson, our Superintendent
and former Principal of St. Francis, whose leadership, dedication,
and heart for Catholic education have shaped our school in countless ways.
Join us as we gather to celebrate her legacy and invest in the future of SFDS.
ππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππ
A Knight for the Future Gala is only possible because of the generous hearts
in our St. Francis de Sales community.
We are currently seeking:
- Event Volunteers to assist before, during, and after the Gala
- Donations of goods or services for our auction and event needs
Do you own a business? Provide a service? Have a talent to share? Whether it's decor, photography, desserts, printing, entertainment, event setup, or cleanup - we would be so grateful for your support.
Your time, talent, or treasure will directly support the students
and future of St. Francis de Sales School.
If you would like to volunteer or donate, please CLICK HERE to complete the form.
Together, we can make this a KNIGHT to remember.

One School, One Book - The Eyes and The Impossible
This lyrical and imaginative novel follows Johannes, a brave and watchful dog who serves as the self-appointed guardian of his urban park. Gifted with extraordinary senses, he observes the world through βThe Eyesβ and protects the parkβs creatures from unseen dangers. As new threats emerge and his understanding of loyalty and truth is tested, Johannes must learn what it truly means to be courageous, to trust others, and to see beyond what seems impossible.

Here's what responsibility looks like:
1. Being accountable for what you do, for your actions and behavior.
2. Doing the right thing at the right time, so others can trust and depend on you.
3. Taking care of your property, yourself, and others.
4. To work to the best of your ability.
5. When you choose to make a poor choice, admit to it, apologize for it, and then take steps to change it.
You can do it - have a great week!
