Dear faithful,
You are cordially invited to the Immaculate Heart of Mary Oratory’s 1st Annual Fundraising Gala on Saturday, April 26th, 2025, at the I.E.S. Portuguese Hall in San Jose, CA. This event is being held to further the IHM Oratory’s continuing effort of acquiring a permanent home and to bring our communities together along with the broader community of people who value preserving tradition for generations to come.
The evening will start at 5:30PM with a delicious catered buffet style meal, including appetizers, wine, dinner, and dessert. Canon Talarico, of the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest, will be opening the evening, followed by guest speaker Salvatore Caruso. Mr. Caruso, a successful local architect who studied in Italy, will be speaking on The Beauty of Churches and their Spiritual Impact on Civilization. We will also have a variety of raffle and silent auction items, followed by music and dancing. This is a wonderful opportunity to meet new people and to enjoy an evening of fellowship with family and friends.
We hope you join us in an evening of food, fellowship, and fun! Thank you for supporting this worthy cause.
In Christ,
Canon Raphael Ueda, RectorImmaculate Heart of Mary OratoryInstitute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest
