Thanks to our 2026 lottery sponsors

The Fair is also possible thanks to supporters, companies and friends walking with Gonzaga in this solidarity journey.

What is the Mission Fair?

The Mission Fair is one of the most meaningful events in Gonzaga Campus life: a day when the school becomes an open, welcoming and supportive place for families, students, teachers, alumni and the wider city.

It is not only a celebration. It is an educational, community and missionary experience where even the simplest shared gesture can become care, hope and future.

Through stands, games, workshops, music and testimonies, everyone is invited to feel part of a wider community.

Mission Fair at Gonzaga Campus — stands, gatherings and encounters between families, students and guests

Why take part?

The common thread of Gonzaga Campus solidarity initiatives is the desire to offer children around the world a different future through high-quality education.

Taking part means supporting educational, social and missionary projects focused on children, vulnerable families and communities in poverty contexts.

On Saturday, May 16, 2026, the Gonzaga Campus avenues open to the city for a great celebration of solidarity: games, music, workshops, activities for children, food and craft stands, encounters and testimonies.
