“Never we know but in sleet and in snow,
The place where the great fires are,
That the midst of the earth is a raging mirth
And the heart of the earth a star.”

Where to Buy Tables and individual tickets
You can buy your ticket using the RSVP card you received in the mail (you can get extras at the office) or at our gala website.
How to let us know who is at your table and their orders:
Send your guest list and orders (including your student) in any of the following ways:
Online - Add their names and order to the Qtego order form when you first purchase tickets.
Email - Send names and orders to gala@cathf.com.
RSVP Card - Your paper invitation includes an RSVP card that you can use to fill in your orders, even if you bought your table online. If you need an RSVP card or extra invitations, we have many at the school office. Just send your student to pick them up any time.
A note on guests who are minors
Please note that individuals under the age of 21 are not permitted to attend unless accompanied by at least one of their parents. CATHF alumni under 21 are welcome, but must attend with one of their parents. Although this is a joyful event, it is also not meant to be a dance or a social for students, even though it features beautiful dance exhibitions by the students. The gala is a fundraiser and essential for the future of the school, and so we ask you to invite guests who support Catholic and classical education. For more information on the gala, please see pages 35-36 of the family handbook.
