Sixth Annual Gala Dinner
Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre, Atlanta, GA
Friday, October 25, 2019
Scott and Kimberly Hahn and the St. Paul Center Board of Trustees extend a warm invitation to you for our Sixth Annual Gala Dinner. We're excited to host this year's Gala in Atlanta, GA, at the beautiful Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre, one of metropolitan Atlanta's most prestigious venues.
Please join us in commemorating a year of great blessings and in honoring two long-time supporters of the Church, Tim Busch and Betsy Orr. We're pleased to award Tim Busch the first annual St. Luke Awardand to award Betsy Orr the Lydia Award in recognition of their outstanding service to the Church.
Scott and Kimberly Hahn founded the St. Paul Center seventeen years ago with the desire to help others read the Bible from the heart of the Church. The mission of the St. Paul Center is to promote biblical literacy for the laity and biblical fluency for the priesthood. In the seventeen years since Scott and Kimberly founded the Center, we've found new ways to accomplish this mission through our Journey Through Scripture Bible studies, Emmaus Road Publishing and Emmaus Academic, and our outreach to priests, especially in our two annual Priest Conferences. And more is on the horizon! We look forward to having you join us as we look back on past accomplishments and look forward to new initiatives at our Sixth Annual Gala Dinner.
Join us for this amazing and inspiring evening—register here!
