New: Save the Date for St. Malachy's 13th Annual Mardi Gras Celebration
This year’s Mardi Gras celebration will be held on Saturday, February 18, 2012. The Mardi Gras will begin at 6:00 p.m. and is held at the Indianapolis Colts Complex on West 56th Street. The event is $150.00 per couple, and always delivers a fun-filled evening with raffles, auctions, dinner, drinks, and lots of excitement.
The evening’s highlights include a $10,000 reverse raffle and unique auction items that are available through a silent and a live auction. Some of last year’s items included vacation packages, one-of-a-kind Colts items, sporting event tickets, and more.
Included in the silent auction are spectacular “class baskets” – themed and collected from each grade in the school. Each grade creates a gift basket of donated items – that contain items around a certain theme – and, then Mardi Gras attendees have the chance to bid on the class basket. This part of the evening can create some very spirited competition – as the baskets are always a crowd favorite.
The event is open to all parishioners and non-parishioners alike. It is a fun event for a group of friends – or, a great way to meet new friends. Tickets are on sale now! Please contact Kem Kazmierzak at kemk@stmalachy.org for details.
