ABOUT THE EVENT
We had an amazing evening at our first-ever virtual Christmas Gala, hosted from the flagship Fluevog Shoestore in Gastown, Vancouver, on Thursday, December 3, 2020. If you missed the event live, you can still watch it on YouTube.
With the devastating events of 2020, the work of Sanctuary is more important than ever. According to the World Health Organization, COVID-19 “is increasing demand for mental health services. Bereavement, isolation, loss of income and fear are triggering mental health conditions or exacerbating existing ones.” We are all aware there is a great need for hearts, minds, and souls to be nurtured at this time—and at Sanctuary, we believe the Church has a lot to offer our hurting world.
At our gala, we enjoyed the stories, insights, and wisdom of our special guests and Sanctuary ambassadors, who value the work of Sanctuary during the pandemic and beyond. There was a special appearance by Dr. Bonnie Henry…’s Fluevog shoes (we could only manage to get her shoes). We also got an update on Sanctuary’s growth from CEO Daniel Whitehead, plus got a sneak preview of The Sanctuary Course for Catholics.
The gala may be over, but it’s not too late to donate and support the work of Sanctuary in 2021 and beyond!
Together we can care for the hearts, minds, and souls of people the world over.
