Proceeds from the Cathedral Heritage Ball grow the Cathedral Endowment Fund which was established following the "2000 Major Restoration of the Church". Once the Fund reaches one million dollars, the parish may use interest earned from this endowment for capital improvements and repairs on the cathedral.

It is hoped that by upholding the mission of this endowment another major restoration will be prevented. Through the support of this event, more than $700,000.00 has been raised. Last year's Ball alone raised $60,000.00 which was placed in a CD, a responsible investment for these unprecedented economic times.

Participation in the Cathedral Heritage Ball and Auction is greatly appreciated. It ensures the preservation of this cathedral which is a legacy that has been entrusted to us and it is our responsibility to preserve it for generations to come.
