Comeau Catholic Campus Center
Tickets are still available for the fourth annual “Becoming Light Together” dinner and fundraiser at Fort Hays State University on Saturday, April 12.
The event, sponsored by the Comeau Catholic Campus Center is an evening to "celebrate the good work Christ is doing in the hearts of Fort Hays Catholic students, talk about the future and cultivate support for years to come."
More than 450 students actively participate in the Catholic Tigers organization with FHSU through various events such as Wednesday Catholic Tigers, bible studies, retreats, Mass and men's and women's nights.
Along with FHSU Chaplain Father Andy Hammeke, guest speakers for the night will be FHSU graduate Deacon Adam Urban, who will be ordained a Catholic priest in May, and current student Jianna Rojas from Goddard.
The event will kick off with a 4:30 p.m. rosary in the St. Francis of Assisi Chapel, followed by Mass at 5 p.m. celebrated by Bishop Gerald Vincke, then a social hour – all at the Comeau Catholic Campus Center.
The dinner and program are set to begin at 7 p.m. in the Fort Hays Ballroom of the Fort Hays State University Memorial Union.
Tickets are $50 per person and can be purchased through April 1 by visiting catholictigers.org.
Numerous businesses and individuals help sponsor the event, with the Leo J. Dreiling and Albina Dreiling Charitable Trust providing matching funds for the first $50,000 raised.
