We guarantee this will be an evening to remember!

Enjoy the convenience of traveling to the beautiful Witte Museum in Alamo Heights with car-to-door service and valet parking for all of our guests. Gala check-in is a breeze in the brand-new Dawson Family Hall.

Peruse the silent and live auctions and bring home a surprise from the wine pull. Before our program, all guests will sit down to a three-course meal.

This year, we are honoring Claire Cavender McNab, who is not only a champion for women in the auto industry but is an incredibly active volunteer in San Antonio who stewards and truly embodies the mission of Respite Care.

The Rev. Beth Knowlton has enjoyed serving as the Rector of St. Mark’s since 2014. Beth has a passion for community life and was drawn to St. Mark’s by the commitment of its parishioners to live out its Core Vocation to Feed San Antonio with the Bread of Life through outreach, education, and the arts. She loves to preach, teach, and write reflections on how our spirituality informs our daily life. Beth is joyfully engaged in all aspects of parish life, from administration to pastoral visits.
