The goal of the Bishop’s Awards Dinner is to bring people together to pay tribute and honor those who model Catholic stewardship, minister to those in need and have demonstrated a lifetime of service. Net proceeds from the Dinner will be directed to SEEDS for Catholic Elementary School Scholarships and Catholic Charities of the
Diocese of Stockton. Since 2002, the Bishops Awards Dinner has raised over $1,740,000 to benefit SEEDS and Catholic Charities.
