Read about it in the Omaha World Herald article...

Featuring a cocktail reception, silent auction, dinner, and live auction,         this is Catholic Charities' most entertaining night of the year!                     Musical entertainment was provided by Finest Hour and The BroadBand Horns.

Proceeds from this event help fund the services Catholic Charities provides to over 75,000 people and families annually.   

In 1992, Dr. Ben Lynch, a member of the Board of Directors of Catholic Charities, suggested a St. Patrick's Day social event to benefit the Agency.  That first year, staff from Catholic Charities was brought in to bring the attendance number up to 300.

From those humble beginnings, Irish Fest has blossomed into both a premier Omaha social event, as well as a major fundraiser for Catholic Charities.  Over 700 people attended this year, raising more than $425,000.
