Curé of Ars Awards Dinner to honor Msgr. Siepka and Knights of Columbus on Oct. 9

The annual Curé of Ars Awards dinner will be held Wednesday, Oct. 9 at Salvatore’s located at 6461 Transit Road in Depew.

The Curé of Ars Award honors those whose lives reflect the qualities of Christian dedication and service that marked the life of St. John Vianney. The award is presented annually to individuals and organizations who are committed to healing those in need of God’s reconciling love, a willingness to contribute their gifts towards pastoral care – especially for the needy and poor – and a commitment to our Church as a primary instrument for the divine-human encounter. This year’s honorees will be Msgr. Richard W. Siepka and the Knights of Columbus of Western New York.

This year’s event will feature a silent auction of over 30 unique items. The auction will be featured online, so those who are unable to be physically present at the event can still bid from their smartphones. Visit the auction website and check back often as more packages will be uploaded daily.

Back by popular demand will be the Golden Ticket Auction with three levels of opportunities to win some fabulous gift certificates. Gold level will win ten $100 gift cards, Silver will win ten $50 gift cards and bronze will win ten $25 gift cards. This is another great opportunity where participants do not need to be present to win. Tickets are $10 each or three for $25.
