On September 25, 2026, more than 500 guests gathered at Saint John's Resort in Plymouth to celebrate the works of mercy carried out by Catholic Charities of Southeast Michigan. Together, we raised $360,000 to Fund the Mission, the most in our gala's history. Thank you to every guest, sponsor, parish, volunteer, and donor who made the evening possible.
