The annual auction is an evening to raise funds for scholarships and other school needs, further friendships and celebrate the excellence of St. Paul Catholic School, its students and its alumni. An Indianapolis 500 Victory Banquet themed event, “The Greatest Spectacle in Excellence” will be held in the St. Paul Catholic School Gymnasium beginning with cocktails at 6:30 p.m. A vast array of items will be up for auction while guests enjoy a delicious meal and spend time catching up and celebrating the past, present and future of St. Paul Catholic School.
