The Catholic Diocese of Saginaw has canceled the 2018 Bishop’s Ball fundraising event due to the ongoing investigation into sexual abuse by priests.
“A celebration during this time would not be in keeping with the heartache felt in the local church community,” the diocese said in a statement.
Ticket purchases and event sponsors for the 12th annual Bishop’s Ball will be refunded, according to the diocese statement. Dinner tickets for the April 27 event were $100 each.
Those set to receive awards at the event will receive them at a later time.
