Friends helping friends · Christmas 2026
Patrick and Stasia Reynolds are serving on the Christmas Festival Committee. Their friends and extended network have three simple ways to support a beautiful Baltimore tradition—and the life-changing work of Catholic Charities.
Choose one—or combine them
Join the shared gift, sponsor directly, or pass the opportunity along.
Join our shared sponsorship
The goal is to combine smaller gifts from friends across the Reynolds network and fund the largest Festival sponsorship block possible together.
Sponsor directly
If you, your organization, or a foundation can do more, consider one of Catholic Charities’ official sponsorship levels.

Festival & sponsorships
For seventeen years, the Festival has brought the community together to celebrate the joy, hope, and spirit of Christmas while supporting Catholic Charities. The Baltimore Choral Arts Society, Morgan State University Choir, and Archbishop Spalding High School Choir come together at the Basilica for the 2026 concert.
Music in service of mercy
Catholic Charities of Baltimore is Maryland’s largest private provider of human services. Rooted in the Catholic tradition of caring for people in need, it serves people of all faiths and backgrounds with food, shelter, and other essential services—helping children thrive, families regain stability, older adults age with dignity, and neighbors facing hunger, homelessness, or crisis find hope and a path forward.
Why Patrick & Stasia are involved
Patrick and Stasia are serving on the Festival Committee this year on behalf of Catholic Charities Executive Director Dave Kinkopf. They have attended the concert and post-concert reception for the past several years, described it as an outstanding experience, and shared that they have truly enjoyed it.
Official sponsorship contact
Jessica Mitko in Strategic Partnerships can answer questions about official sponsorships.
The Reynolds gift circle
Friends can join the shared gift circle at a suggested $250 level, choose an official sponsorship themselves, or pass the opportunity into their own network.
Combine smaller gifts toward the largest sponsorship block the group can fund. Participation does not promise an individual concert ticket.
Official invitation levels
Every sponsor receives name recognition on concert and reception signage; logo or name recognition on the Festival website; acknowledgment in Catholic Charities’ Annual Report, social media, and Blessings newsletter; and VIP concert seating.
Artwork deadline: November 18, 2026 · anticipated program audience: 500 guests
Select the sponsorship level that fits you, your business, organization, or foundation. The official form records the sponsor and contact information, preferred name for promotional materials, and an authorized signature. Payment may be made by check payable to Catholic Charities or by Visa, Mastercard, American Express, or Discover.
Contact Jessica Mitko through Gmail or at 667-600-2027 for the form and payment instructions. Catholic Charities of Baltimore is located at 320 Cathedral Street, Baltimore, MD 21201.
If the circle funds a sponsorship that includes concert or reception tickets, Patrick and Stasia will administer the available tickets—either allocating them within the gift circle or arranging for them to be donated for community use.
Participation in the circle does not promise an individual ticket.
