The only authorized Bon Jovi tribute in the world, which can include the pre-game show of Super Bowl XLVIII among its hundreds of headlining appearances, will join the Spazmatics as co-headliners of the 2018 Jesuit Homecoming Concert on Saturday, Nov. 3, at Gilley's Dallas. We have learned that LOCASH is unable to fulfill its commitment, but excited to add Slippery When Wet to the bill. The band has garnered a huge reputation for replicating the exact live arrangements from Bon Jovi's most famous world tours. Buy your tickets today for what may be our most raucous party yet!

If you are interested in volunteering or want more information on how to participate in the athletic events, please contact Sean McMullen. The event is free and is a big part of Homecoming Weekend. See you there!

We delight in making this gift to you and ask that you not send an offering.

VNA Meals on Wheels provides hot, nutritious, freshly prepared meals five days a week to Dallas County residents who can’t provide for themselves due to illness, advanced age or disability. These meals contribute to the overall health and well-being of participating seniors, including those with chronic illnesses that are affected by diet, such as diabetes and heart disease, and frail seniors who are homebound. Without VNA Meals on Wheels these seniors would go hungry.
