Step into an enchanting evening at Tables of Joy: An Evening of Generosity and Beauty, a fundraiser that celebrates joining together in community. Set against the beautiful backdrop of St. Rose Courtyard, we are inviting our neighbors and friends to our table. Come together with us to celebrate the Franciscan Spirituality Center’s dedication to supporting anyone in their search for God, meaning and wholeness.

Along with dinner and music (Viterbo University singers and strolling violinists), a silent auction is part of the evening’s festivities. You’ll have the unique opportunity to bid on beautifully painted tables, each decorated by local nonprofits that provide services in our neighborhoods. These tables will benefit the Franciscan Spirituality Center and each nonprofit as we highlight the joy of community generosity.

Make plans to have a seat at our table this spring as we celebrate our commitment to peace and all good.

Dinner will be plated and Italian-themed, with gluten-free and vegetarian options (please indicate dietary restrictions when you register).
Menu: antipasti display (cocktail hour), garden salad, chicken marsala, herbed buttered noodles, green beans with shallots, dinner rolls, tiramisu.

En plein air painting demonstration by Colleen Shore; finished painting of courtyard will be up for bid. Other silent auction items include autographed Packers football; handmade quilt by Sharon Berger, FSPA; artist basket; library basket; wine basket.

“In the Franciscan tradition, the table is a symbol of welcome and community,” said Hope Clements, director of community engagement. “Tables of Joy has been designed to bring people together around the simple, sacred act of sharing a table in joyful connection—while also supporting the Center’s mission through this meaningful fundraiser.”
