“A Toast to 350!”

Saturday, April 6th 2024

6:30 - 9:30 pm

Historic Christopher Wren Building, The College of William and Mary

Formal Dress Suggested

A beloved springtime event, the annual Canterbury Gala and Silent Auction brings together members of the Bruton Parish and Williamsburg community to celebrate the ministry of the Episcopal Church at William and Mary in a historic setting. This year’s gala will feature a special program honoring 350 years of Bruton Parish. The evening will include live music from student musicians, a silent auction, heavy hors-d’oeuvres, and a “Toast to 350.” Your support helps enrich the ministry of the Canterbury Association, the Episcopal Campus Ministry at William & Mary. All gala proceeds will go towards the Canterbury Missions Fund which provides financial aid to members for pilgrimage and outreach trips. Please contact Gala Chair Curran Hampton (cjhampton@wm.edu) with any questions or for information on additional giving opportunities.

Note: Our ticketing platform, Givebutter, asks for “tips” to support their service. These tips are completely optional and are not passed along to Canterbury.
