We express our sincerest gratitude to our guests and supporters of the Sisters of St. Joseph Auxiliary Spring Luncheon. It was a pleasure to be with so many of you and we are grateful to the 394 attendees, sponsors, and donors who contributed to the Sisters’ Ministries, which includes the Neighbors in Need Fund.

Your generosity helped us to raise more than $40,000, which will make a significant impact in the lives of those in need! The Neighbors in Need Fund is a vital resource that supports the Sisters of St. Joseph’s mission of helping the most vulnerable members of our community. Since 2018, the fund has offered 61 grants totaling $35,223. Your donations will enable us to continue our work, providing assistance to those who are facing poverty, illness, and other complex challenges.

Guests in attendance at this year’s luncheon perused an assortment of baked goods, 33 gift baskets valued at more than $400 each, and a custom silent auction courtesy of the Pittsburgh Zoo. The event also included a wine pull and vintage jewelry rummage sale, Sisters’ apiary products, and a 50/50 Raffle. Sister Sarah Crotty demonstrated the impact of the Neighbors in Need Fund, and guests were serenaded by 22 members of the local Unity Choir, directed by Fannie Farmer.

It was a wonderful afternoon of faith, friendship, and fun! We extend appreciation to our dedicated volunteers who helped to make the luncheon possible. We continued to be inspired by their tireless efforts and commitment to our mission.

Once again, thank you for your support and generosity. Together, we will continue to make a difference in the lives of those who need it most.
