21st Annual Fundraising Breakfast

You are invited to the 21st Annual Fundraising Breakfast in support of St. Mark's College and Corpus Christi College.

The importance of Catholic higher education, which strives to meet our young people “where they are” on the journeys that are life and faith, is perhaps more important to the future of the church than it has ever been.

We provide a Catholic centre at UBC and extensive education options while receiving no government funding. Funds raised at the Breakfast will benefit financial assistance programs and technology upgrades for students.

Date: Saturday, October 16, 2021
