Tastes of Heaven goes virtual, and national April 18, 2021
The annual Tastes of Heaven gala fundraiser for Catholic Missions In Canada was not staged in 2020, one of the long list of victims of the COVID-19 virus, but the keystone event returns April 29 in a virtual realm.
Joe Gennaro said taking the annual gala the largest fundraiser each year in support of Catholic Missions and its support for the Catholic Church in Canada’s mission territories online serves two purposes.
“The reason why we chose the format is to stay in front of our donors to show them that we are trying to operate during this time so that our missions could receive their help,” said Gennaro, stewardship officer with Catholic Missions. “We also thought it would be interesting to try and grab a wider audience basically all of Canada could participate compared to in the past when a limited audience from the (Greater Toronto Area) could attend.”
