Ceilidh 2026: A Gala will be held Sunday night, September 27, 2026 in the Ballroom of the Atlanta Athletic Club in Johns Creek, GA. The word Ceilidh comes from the Gaelic for “gathering” or “visit.” Historically, Ceilidhs were social events where people would come together to share stories, sing, play music, and of course, dance. They were a central part of community life in the Highlands and Islands, bringing warmth and joy to long winter nights. At Presbyterian Homes of Georgia, we have adopted the Ceilidh tradition as a way of expressing our gratitude for the support of the Caring Hands Fund.

In 1942, a widow asked her pastor, “Is there a place for me?” She did not know where she would live out the years of her life in comfort, security, and in an environment of compassionate care. The answer to her question, then and now, is “Yes – there is a place for you at Presbyterian Homes.” We believe there is a place for you as a Sponsor, and we would welcome your support.

The Presbyterian Home in Quitman opened September 1, 1949 with four female residents whose financial support came from their churches. Since then, we have grown to six campuses with some 1,200 residents and more than 700 employees. The Caring Hands Fund is our charitable entity, soliciting gifts to ensure that every resident has access to the exceptional services promised in our mission statement: Presbyterian Homes of Georgia is a Christian ministry providing exceptional services to enhance the quality of life for senior adults.

The highlight of the evening will be a piano concert by Mac Frampton, a resident of Presbyterian Village Cobb and an acclaimed musician who has performed more than 4,000 concerts around the world. Accompanied by a five-piece band, Mac will perform and take requests from the audience. You don’t want to miss this event!
