Merrie Market Gala & Auction

Merrie Market Gala & Auction is Visitation School's largest community-driven fundraiser, supporting every Vis student. Here at Visitation, education is Non Scholae, Sed Vitae – not for school, but for life; your generosity helps to ensure the continued success of our school and that of our students. Proceeds from Merrie Market go directly into Visitation's operating budget and support some of our most important programs including scholarships, academics, spiritual learning, athletics and the arts.  

Thank you for your support!
