The Italian Heritage Ball and Cotillion is an elegant event that has been sponsored by the Women’s Division bi-annually for over 40 years. The mission of the Women’s Division is dedicated to charitable, civic, educational, and cultural activities that identify and address the concerns of Italian Americans as well as all ethnic communities.The Italian Heritage Ball and Cotillion is just one example supporting the Women’s Division’s mission.

During this event, the debutantes of the Cotillion are presented to the Bishop and the attendees, as women of their Italian heritage. The young women that debut in this event are given the knowledge and experience to continue the traditions of their Italian culture.
