Recent Past Events

Four Eagle Award Banquet and Silent Auction
The Four Eagle event is celebrated in order to give recognition to individuals or groups who have demonstrated outstanding commitment to the Saint Stanislaus community.

It is also one of the major fundraisers for our parish. These funds are raised to support the continued advancement of the spiritual, educational, and cultural mission of this shrine parish. We have so much to be thankful for and know so many in need.

The Four Eagle Award, named after the legendary four eagles that protected the body of the martyred Stanislaus, is bestowed upon individuals or organizations that have been especially helpful in furthering the mission of the Saint Stanislaus community. This will be our Ninth Annual Four Eagle Award Celebration.

Past recipients include Bishop Anthony M. Pilla; Ben S. Stefanski II; Mayor Jane Campbell; the Sisters of the Holy Family of Nazareth; the Third District Cleveland Police; the Franciscan Friars; the neighborhood family-owned funeral homes; the DiGeronimo and Kurtz Families; Katherine Geis and her son, Fred Geis; and the St. Stanislaus Alumni Association.

This is one of the greatest events our parish continues to have to not only assist in fundraising but, also, to honor someone who has done an outstanding service to our community. Read about the history of this banquet.
