Duluth’s finest musicians entertained the crowd as well as Sister Timothy Kirby with her Irish stories and Fr. Charles Flynn with his wisdom of the Book of Kells.  Generous donors gave amazing gifts for the silent auction and generous friends went home with treasures they had bid on.

We are especially grateful to Mr. Mike Maxim, the owner of the Dubh Linn Pub, for donating his place and the refreshments for the evening.  It was an unforgettable evening with so many good friends and generous supporters.

“Our humanity comes to its fullest bloom in giving. We become beautiful people when we give whatever we can give: a smile, a handshake, a kiss, an embrace, a word of love, a present, a part of our life...all of our life.”
