Key Note - Bishop Mike Izen
We’re beyond excited to have Auxiliary Bishop Michael Izen joining us as this year’s keynote speaker! Bishop Izen wears many hats—pastor of the Churches of Saint Michael and Saint Mary in Stillwater, parochial administrator of St. Charles in Bayport, and canonical administrator of Saint Croix Catholic School. He also helps lead the Archdiocese alongside Archbishop Bernard Hebda and Auxiliary Bishop Kevin Kenney, serving the vibrant faith community across the Twin Cities metro.
With a heart for life and a deep commitment to the Church, Bishop Izen will be sharing a powerful message on a prolife theme. We’re honored to have his voice, his wisdom, and his presence with us this evening!

Emcee - Mike Langer
We’re thrilled to welcome this year’s emcee: the one and only Mike Langer, Principal of Maternity of Mary–Saint Andrew School!
With a background in media broadcasting and a daily knack for managing the delightful chaos of school life, Mr. Langer brings both charisma and calm to the mic.
We’re confident he’ll guide us through the evening with humor, heart, and a touch of principal polish!

Music Talent - Dann & Barbara Grundman
Former chairs of the Prolife Group and longtime champions of life, Daniel and Barbara Grundman bring not only leadership but also heartfelt artistry to this year’s gala. Known for their deep commitment to the cause and their extraordinary musical talent, the Grundmans have inspired countless hearts through both word and song. Their performance tonight is a celebration of life, love, and the power of music to uplift and unite.
And if we’re lucky, Father Kevin Manthey may even join them on the drums! You won’t want to miss this evening of entertainment!
Stay Tuned to view the baskets and items up for auction in this year’s Silent Auction!
Our goal this year is $6,000 and we anticipate over 50 basket and packages available to bid on! Funds raised in this event will be used for our upcoming yearly events with the majority being donated to ProLife organizations in our community and to help support the Champions for Life scholarship program at MMSA, inspiring the youth to continue keeping the Prolife initiatives for generations to come.
