The Fleur de Lis Ball
The Fleur de Lis Ball is a formal white-tie event held annually in St. Louis, Missouri. At the Ball, Catholic families present their daughters to the Archbishop of St. Louis. Each honoree is accompanied by her father or father figure as she is introduced to him.
This event celebrates the debutantes entering into society in the presence of their family and friends. After the presentation, attendees enjoy dinner and dancing to continue the celebration.
Fleur de Lis Ball Dress Code
The young women who will be presented must wear long, formal white gowns with white gloves. Men must wear full white-tie attire.
Donations
Following each Ball, a donation is made to SSM Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital. Since the very first Fleur de Lis Ball, we have donated over three million dollars.
