Our Lady of Peace School Hosts Annual Auction Gala

The Our Lady of Peace Home and School Association held its annual auction on Friday, February 26th to benefit the children of OLP.

The theme of this year's annual Our Lady of Peace Auction was "Mardi Gras Magic" and it was truly a magical night!

This past Friday, school families, friends, and staff members, enjoyed a wonderful night out courtesy of the hard working volunteer members of the OLP Home and School Association (HSA). Attendees were treated to a wonderful dinner at Ashton Place followed by an exciting live auction which offered valuable items such as vacations, jewelry, and one-of-a-kind dinner experiences.

Along with the live auction items, the event offered many fabulous items up for bid during the silent auction as well. There was dancing, raffles, and casino games to fill up the night. It was a successful fundraising event as well as a great opportunity for people in the Our Lady of Peace community to enjoy time together.
