Every year, we look forward to attending the Con-solatio Annual Gala at the beautiful Bohemian National Hall in NYC. It’s always a special evening filled with love, laughter, music, meaningful encounters—and, of course, delicious food and wonderful company!

It’s a joy to witness firsthand the incredible work, achievements, and future projects of this cause dear to our hearts: bringing God’s love to those wearied by loneliness, made possible through a volunteer-based program for young adults.

This year was no exception, featuring the special participation of renowned artist Sean Scully and not one, but two inspiring awards: the Compassion Award presented to Phong Bui and the Alumni Award to Dr. Mike Higgins.

Organizing a fundraising event of this scale is no small feat—bravo to the entire Con-solatio team for pulling off such a memorable evening. Your passion and commitment to spreading God’s ministry of presence was felt in every detail of the night.

Count on us for next year!
