The Carmelite Auxiliary holds an annual event to raise funds in support of the Discalced Carmelite Nuns of Sacramento. Since the Carmelites exist on donations from friends, we cannot stress the importance of our fundraising efforts enough! Proceeds from our fundraising go toward general maintenance costs for the Monastery, as well as toward special projects.
Historically, the Auxiliary had luncheons in the early spring in Sacramento, either in members’ backyards or occasionally in the Dante Club. Beginning in 2016, the new Auxiliary chose to have a Spaghetti Luncheon and Silent Auction at various churches in the Sacramento diocese.
Save the date! This year’s event is set for August 1st, 2026! We will be offering dinner & dessert, wine available for purchase, a raffle, and a Silent Auction. Information about the Monastery, the nuns’ lives, and the work of the Auxiliary is shared. This is a really fun event, with great food, great prizes, and an informative slide show. Mark your calendars!
Save the date!
August 1, 2026 at St. Rose of Lima Church in Roseville!
6-9pm; doors open at 5:30pm.
See our homepage for more details & how to register.
“I just wanted to compliment the Auxiliary on the wonderful Spaghetti Luncheon. It was so enjoyable, and so well executed!”
