From signature fundraising events to community celebrations and special initiatives, each occasion offers a meaningful way to connect with others who share a commitment to faith, service, and education.

    An inspiring evening of faith, gratitude, and generosity in support of St. Peter’s Seminary.

    This special gathering will mark two significant moments in the life of the Diocese of London: the welcoming of Bishop Daniel J. Miehm as the 11th Bishop of London and the recognition of Bishop Ronald P. Fabbro, CSB, for more than 24 years of dedicated service and leadership.

    Hosted by Honourary Co-Chairs Emod and Maureen Greff, the evening will bring together clergy, community leaders, parishioners, and supporters from across the region for fellowship, celebration, and a shared commitment to the future of the Church.

    Proceeds from the event support St. Peter's Seminary and the formation of priests, deacons, and lay ministers who accompany people through life's most important moments with faith, compassion, and hope.

    Together, we celebrate a legacy of service, welcome a new chapter of leadership, and invest in the formation of future generations of Catholic leaders.
