A Heartfelt Thank You to Our All Saints Catholic School Community
It is with immense joy and gratitude that we reflect on the overwhelming success of our recent annual Gala—an event that not only brings our community together but also significantly contributes to the enrichment of our school’s environment and resources. This year, we are thrilled to announce that our Gala made a net profit of over $110,000, a testament to the unwavering support and generosity of our community.
Lisa Larson, the Chair of the All Saints Catholic School Gala, captured the essence of our collective sentiment when she said, “The All Saints Catholic School community is one that displays abundant generosity. It is because of the support of all involved that we are able to make a difference for our school year after year. I am extremely grateful for all who served, sponsored, donated, attended, or participated in our event. You are making a difference in our community by choosing to partner with us! I could never say thank you enough, and blessings to all!”
The Gala was brought to life through the concerted efforts of many, including the dedicated Gala Committee Members: Lisa Larson, Lesley Feudner, Kelly Neu, Myriam Sosa, Renee Schnuck, Marc Lois, and Jessica Lorbach, whose planning and coordination were instrumental in the event’s success.
The evening was filled with memorable highlights, from the cocktail hour with sound equipment graciously donated by McTernan Wireless, to the unique touch of bar stations run by our current teachers. Attendees enjoyed viewing silent auction items, the excitement of the Golden Ticket sale, and the exquisite ASCS custom jewelry created by Jodi Vignieri, along with vinyl stickers printed by the Furman family. The live band entertainment provided by TRIAD, a plated dinner served to 200 guests by the Holy Name Society, and the transformation of our gym into a stunning dining space with donations from My Dream Centerpiece, all contributed to the gala’s enchanting atmosphere. Special mentions to the specialty cookie donated by Jodi Zarletti, the meat raffle hosted by Marc Lois, Katie Miceli, and Sue Backus, and the invaluable help of alumni volunteers, all of which made the evening truly unforgettable.
Kelly Neu, the Principal of All Saints Catholic School, shared her heartfelt appreciation, “Thank you, thank you, thank you! My heart is full of joy and gratitude for the success of our 2024 Gala last Saturday. Dinner and beverages were delicious, the music was entertaining, the conversations and games were fun, and the bidding was lively. Thank you to those who attended in person and those who bid online. All Saints Catholic School appreciates the generosity of our families and community members to keep us thriving.”
At All Saints Catholic School, we believe that learning extends beyond textbooks. Our students, from 3-year-old Preschool through 8th Grade, are taught to see the world through the eyes of Christ, incorporating Catholic values into their daily lives and living out our mission with zeal and compassion
As we move forward, buoyed by the success of our Gala and the incredible support of our community, we are reminded of the strength and spirit that defines All Saints Catholic School. To each person who contributed in ways big and small, we extend our deepest thanks. Your generosity not only supports our mission but also shapes the future of our students, paving the way for them to become compassionate, knowledgeable, and faith-driven leaders of tomorrow.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being a part of our journey. Together, we continue to make All Saints Catholic School a place where excellence in education and the nurturing of Catholic values go hand in hand.
