This year our cherished annual fundraiser event returns to St. Patrick’s! We are excited to invite you, your family, and your friends to join us for St. Patrick’s 22nd One Hundred Thousand Welcomes. We will be keeping with some favorite traditional aspects while also introducing some new elements to the event. We look forward to welcoming you to join us for a relaxed evening of fun to benefit the local community.
You likely know Saint Patrick as the patron saint of Ireland or the namesake of Saint Patrick’s Day. But here in Lebanon, Ohio, Saint Patrick’s Episcopal Church has been supporting the Lebanon community for more than sixty years. We have occupied our historically significant building since 1962, and the building itself has been a fixture in downtown Lebanon since 1893.
On April 27th, 2024, we are hosting our 22nd annual fundraising event, called our One Hundred Thousand Welcomes Event. The saying in Gaelic, “Céad Míle Fáilte”, translates to “You are welcome a thousand times, wherever you come from, whosoever you be”.
This fundraising event helps to keep our doors open quite literally, and not just to our congregation: our building is home to several other community groups like Alcoholics Anonymous and Girl Scout Troop #460. Saint Patrick’s also supports other community organizations such as the Lebanon Food Pantry, Family Promise of Warren County, and even further abroad through Infinite Chance in Guatemala.
As you might imagine, our home is both historically beautiful and not inexpensive to maintain. We depend on the One Hundred Thousand Welcomes event and its silent and live auctions to raise the capital we need to afford our energy and utility bills. Our fundraising efforts are only achievable through support from our beloved community. We are truly grateful for you.
