Fleur de Lis Ball
This article does not cite any sources. (July 2013) |
The Fleur de Lis Ball is a formal cotillion ball in St. Louis, Missouri, United States, for adolescents of affluent society around the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of St. Louis, started in 1958 by a group of Catholic upper-class women. It teaches etiquette and ballroom skills to young debutante women and men. Four years of classes end with the Fleur de Lis Ball itself, which benefits Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital. Female guests wear white debutante gowns with gloves, and are escorted and presented to the Archbishop of St. Louis.
