Catholic business leaders and members of the faithful joined Apostolic Administrator Bishop Daniel Thomas Friday morning for a special gathering at the Union Club in downtown Cleveland to preview the 2017 Alleluia Ball, the marquee gala of the Catholic Community Foundation. Proceeds from the 2017 Alleluia Ball are intended for the Better Together initiative which will educate students with special learning needs at an initial group of 40-plus Catholic schools in the eight-county diocese.
The 2017 Alleluia Ball is scheduled for Saturday, October 14 at the Huntington Convention Center in Downtown Cleveland.
Bishop Thomas told the gathering the Better Together initiative will help the Cleveland diocese, ?Embark on a bold new path that will help ensure that our schools are equipped with the resources, professional development, and support they need to serve children who are special learners. Our principals and teachers will tell you firsthand that this
initiative is both needed and welcomed.?
