Celebrating Catholic education at St. Ambrose Academy

“Behold, now is the acceptable time, behold, now is the day of salvation” (2 Corinthians 6:2).

MADISON — At the 11th annual St. Ambrose Academy Benefit Dinner Gala, the evening’s program, entitled “Right Here, Right Now: Find Greatness,” was based on St. Paul’s letter to the Corinthians, emphasizing the immediacy of the benefits of Catholic, classical education in the Diocese of Madison.

Approximately 450 guests attended the gala, which took place at the Alliant Energy Center on Saturday, Dec. 9. It is tradition that the evening honors Bishop Robert C. Morlino as a special guest, and he happily celebrated with his friends from St. Ambrose Academy and across the diocese. The school was founded in 2003, the same year that Bishop Morlino came to Madison.

“Behold, now is the acceptable time, behold, now is the day of salvation” (2 Corinthians 6:2).
