The Basilica Landmark's 5th Annual Emmanuel Masqueray Ball gala will be held Saturday, May 5th, 2012.
We are so grateful for the inclusiveness of the Basilica community. Coupled with our deep appreciation for the outstanding liturgy and music, outreach and generous and genuine hospitality, it has created for us a spiritual home. We are committed to the preservation of the historic landmark Basilica, a community treasure and a symbol of hope and welcome to so many.

Join The Basilica Landmark as we celebrate the 5th Annual Masqueray Ball. This theater of purpose at Aria at Jeune Lune will feature a kaleidoscope of visual and aural delights; with proceeds benefiting needed capital improvements for The Basilica and its Campus.
Ethereal ambiance and celestial artists performing in a visually stunning venue will create an unforgettable evening to celebrate our beloved historic Landmark. As members of the cast, guests will browse fabulous silent auction items, dine on an exquisite three-course-meal, sip fine wine and sit in awe of their heavenly surroundings, from choirs singing in spine tingling harmony to entrancing angels and aerialists dangling from above, with many surprises in store throughout the evening. Black tie is encouraged.
Tickets can be purchased for the entire evening, or just for the "Encore".Beginning at 8:30 p.m., guests will enjoy our signature cocktail - The Showstopper - and at 9 p.m. Minneapolis' own The R Factor will take the stage and keep revelers dancing into the wee hours. At reduced ticket price, Encore guests will still play a significant supporting role in the preservation and restoration of this historic Minneapolis Landmark.
Tickets can be purchased here. If a lead role is desired, consider becoming a sponsor of this year’s event by contacting Megan Gustafson at 612.317.3428 or mgustafson@mary.org.
