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.
Next year’s event is still TBD, but will likely be in the Spring of 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!
Our next fundraiser dinner event will be early 2026. We will post as soon as a date is determined!
“I just wanted to compliment the Auxiliary on the wonderful Spaghetti Luncheon. It was so enjoyable, and so well executed!”
