The St. Nicholas Virtual Gala
​Our signature fundraiser, the Saint Nicholas Ball, formerly known as the "Festival of Trees" and voted "Best Charity Gala" by the 2016 Albuquerque Journal Readers' Choice Awards, is in its 17th year! 

In 2019, over 450 supporters and partners joined us in kicking off the holiday season with a reception, gourmet dinner, wine and cocktails, silent and live auctions, live entertainment, and dancing! Event attendees, auction donors, sponsors, and contributors helped us raise over $200,000 for Catholic Charities’ programs, which serve thousands of families throughout central New Mexico each year.

This year, due to the pandemic our 2020 Saint Nicholas fundraising will be a Virtual Gala. ​We invite you to enjoy another enchanting evening with us and help us create hope for those in need! Scroll down for a recording of the 2020 St. Nicholas Virtual Gala!
