Catholic Community Foundation Celebrates 33rd Annual Crozier Gala honoring the Sanctity of Life
[Tempe, AZ– April 17, 2023] – The Catholic Community Foundation is pleased to announce the 33rd Annual Catholic Community Foundation Crozier Gala to be held on April 22, 2023 which will be celebrating and raising funds for the Sanctity of Life at all stages of life. This event also serves as a spotlight on the critical growing need to help ministries and organizations that are in the service of promoting life in our Arizona community.
For the past 33 years, the Catholic Community Foundation has celebrated the Crozier Gala, a wonderful evening of fun and fellowship with our community supporters. The Crozier Gala is steeped in historic accomplishment and is actively seeking to build new traditions that will inspire, celebrate, and deepen those values that every day make us joyful to be a part of the body of Jesus Christ. The Crozier Gala is the preeminent Catholic celebration in Arizona developed and produced by the Catholic Community Foundation for the Diocese of Phoenix. It is an event that celebrates the families, businesses, and organizations who live by their faith by giving generously to support the ministries in our community.
Proceeds from the 33rd Annual Catholic Community Foundation Crozier Gala will directly fund the Catholic Community Foundation LIFE Forever Fund Endowment. The Catholic Community Foundation Life Forever Endowment Fund is dedicated to supporting services that safeguard and advocate for the sanctity of life and has helped health clinics, pregnancy centers, elder care providers, and mental health services. Through this fund, the Catholic Community Foundation awards grants every year to organizations and ministries located in the region of the Diocese of Phoenix who are on the front-line serving our community in these endeavors.
The impact of grants awarded through the Life Forever Endowment Fund touches many lives across our community by empowering health clinics, pregnancy centers, elder care providers, and more to build new facilities, hire and train new staff, and acquire supplies for vulnerable clients, all ultimately in the service of the promotion of life.
Special Guests at this year’s Crozier Gala include The Most Reverend John P. Dolan, Bishop for the Roman Catholic Diocese of Phoenix, and guest speaker Dr. Ray Guarendi, a clinical psychologist from “Living Right With Dr. Ray” on EWTN.
