The 9th annual Deimel Legacy Ball
Friday, January 24, 2014 | 6pm
Columbus Convention & Trade Center.
The black tie optional event, which celebrates Catholic education in Columbus, begins at 6 p.m., and will be hosted by Diocese of Savannah Bishop Most Reverend Gregory J. Hartmayer, OFM Conv. The evening is sponsored by parishes in the Columbus deanery of the Diocese of Savannah.
The Deimel Legacy Ball is named for Monsignor Herman J. Deimel, who was committed to the growth of the Catholic community in the Columbus area. He served as pastor of Holy Family Church from 1943 until 1961 and St. Anne Catholic Church from 1961 until 1966. During his 23 years in Columbus, he was instrumental in the establishment of St. Francis Hospital, which opened in 1950, the new Holy Family School, which opened in 1952, and Pacelli High School, which was built in 1958 (Pacelli was originally called Holy Family High School, but was renamed Pacelli in 1958 in memory of the late Pope Pius XII, who died that year).
Proceeds from the Deimel Legacy Ball support tuition assistance and curriculum enhancements at St. Anne-Pacelli Catholic School. Reservations are $75 per person. The evening will feature cocktails, dinner, and dancing, with music provided by The10:30 Band.
