Dear Friends,
We warmly invite you to join us as a sponsor of Commissioned by Christ’s 2025 Annual Benefit and Silent Auction, taking place on Saturday, October 18 at Marymount University. This year’s theme, “Building Bridges of Hope,” speaks to the mutual transformation that occurs when missionaries and the communities they serve encounter Christ in one another.
As we joyfully celebrate with gratitude the election of Pope Leo XIV in this Jubilee Year of Hope, we renew our missionary zeal to make known the Gospel of Christ to all. At CBC, we answer this call by forming lay Catholics through short-term mission trips that combine prayer, sacraments, and works of mercy. These missions respond to both material and spiritual needs—delivering meaningful aid while nurturing lasting relationships grounded in faith, dignity, and shared Hope in Jesus.
Our goal is to raise $115,000 to fund vital mission work in 2025–2026, including the launch of new trips to Cameroon, Ecuador, the Philippines, and Puerto Rico. With this goal, we can expand to these new mission sites and deepen our impact across all mission locations at a time when the need—and hunger for faith—is growing. Your sponsorship helps keep our missions accessible, funds essential materials, and empowers lay Catholics to live out their faith in bold and generous ways.
We hope you’ll join us at this meaningful event and stand with us in building bridges of hope that stretch across borders and hearts. Please consider sponsoring our benefit and helping us form more missionary disciples in the year ahead.
With gratitude,
Michelle Haworth
Executive Director, Commissioned by Christ
Fr. Jamie Workman
Chair Emeritus and founding member, Commissioned by Christ
