This year’s auction will use Greater Giving Online Bidding – allowing for a paperless bidding system. You will bid using your smartphone or tablet on silent auction items. Also, you can easily track Packages by “following” their activity without having to continuously return to a table or bid sheet.

POD PARTY PACKS

(order HERE)

Though we can't commune like we usually do, we can still have fun and support our wonderful school. We've got you covered, as you can pre-order a "Pod Party Pack" to celebrate at home. 

And, though our auction is virtual, tickets sales in years past not only cover costs associated with a live event, but the in-person experience provides many more opportunities to raise additional funds for our school. This year, you can support Holy Spirit and our Home for the Holidays event by donating a portion of ticket sales to our cause. Help us begin to reach our goal by choosing one of the following options before the bidding even begins!
