Alumni E-Newsletter - October 2021
| |
Due to the limitations imposed by the ongoing pandemic, the 2021 Memorial Mass and Homecoming will not be held in the traditional manner.
On Sunday, October 24, the Annual Memorial Mass will be streamed on Roman's Facebook page beginning at 12 Noon. Following Mass, there will be addresses from Alumni President Chris Gibbons '79 and current student body President, Chris Kleinkurt '22. School President, Rev. Joseph Bongard '77, will deliver the Annual Rector's report followed by the election of Alumni Officers. The 25th and 50th Anniversary Classes of 1996 and 1971 will be honored.
As you know, the usual cost of a Homecoming ticket is $50. While we are going virtual this year, every loyal son of Cahill is asked to consider donating that $50 to the Adopt-A-Student Program. This program provides emergency tuition assistance to families experiencing financial difficulties, thus allowing their son to stay enrolled at Roman. Please click the button below to make your donation. Thank you in advance.
As always, thank you for your dedication to our alma mater and may God keep you safe each day.
Frank Auddino '08
Homecoming Chairman
