President’s Letter Dear Members and Friends of the Gonzaga Community, I am sure you are all familiar with what some claim is the most performed piece of holiday music, The Christmas Song, originally sung by the incomparable Nat King Cole. Its last verse reads: And so, I’m offering a simple phrase For kids from one to ninety-two. Although it’s been said many times, many ways, Merry Christmas to you. The Gonzaga Mothers Club has offered us a simple phrase as the theme of this year’s event. This time around it is The Gonzaga Christmas Gala 2009, pure and simple. These few words speak volumes about the GMC’s spirit of cheerful giving not only in this holy season, but also throughout the year. Whether it’s providing pre-school day “faculty treats;” welcoming new families; collecting clothing and toiletries for the McKenna Center; greeting visitors at Open House, or providing refreshments for Back to School Night, our Moms say many times, many ways how much they love the school that their sons love. Recognizing the uncertain times we have been through this past year, our chairs Terri Burke and Jonna Stoycos have worked hard to give us a simple yet joyful celebration. How appropriate, when we consider the modest circumstances of the first Christmas. Just as the Incarnation was deceptive in its unpretentious appearance, involving both mystery and miracle to effect God’s plan, so should we not be deceived by this year’s Gala. It has taken a year-round effort with nothing being left to chance, even to the addition of a new website. A quick visit to gonzagagala.org, as well as to the following pages, will set your eyes as “all aglow” as those of the tiniest of tots. In his Second Letter to the Corinthians, St. Paul tells us, “God loves a cheerful giver.” How he must love our Gonzaga Moms! And how God will love you for supporting all our good works on Eye Street through your participation in this event! Sincerely, (Rev.) Allen P. Novotny, S.J. President

Headmaster’s Letter
God’s love was revealed among us in this way: God sent his only Son into the world… 1 John 4:9 Dear Friends of Gonzaga, This year’s Gala celebrates Christmas and nothing could be more appropriate for our community. Christmas is a celebration of God’s extraordinarily generous love. Moreover, in the Incarnation we see the invisible God made visible, and Catholic Christians call that a sacrament. God uses the real and tangible concrete “stuff” of this earth to express and communicate His love for us: that is who and what Jesus is. Likewise, I believe we can do the same thing when we love. Through genuine and authentic acts and deeds of love we communicate God’s presence – the invisible made visible. As St. Teresa of Avila (1515-1582) wrote: “Christ has no body now but yours No hands, no feet on earth but yours Yours are the eyes through which He looks compassion on this world Christ has no body now on earth but yours.” The Gala is nothing if not an act of love: the love of the hundreds of people who devote countless hours to making this event a success; the love of those who support our school and students by their generosity. May the Lord give to you at this time and for always His peace in your soul, His presence in your heart, His power in your life. A Blessed Christmas!
Rev. Vincent G. Conti, S.J. Headmaster

The Father McKenna Center
The Father McKenna Center, which continues the work of the later Father Horace B. McKenna, S.J., was founded in 1983 and is located on the Gonzaga campus in the basement of Saint Aloysius Church. Given its location, the McKenna Center is an outreach arm of the Saint Aloysius Parish to the poor and homeless in one of Washington’s poorest communities. The McKenna Center operates a drop-in center for about 70 homeless men per day; provides clean clothes, transportation, showers, drug and alcohol counseling and job training referrals; distributes emergency food bags to women and children in the area, as well as emergency rental and utility assistance and runs a yearround transitional night shelter program designed to create independent living opportunities. The McKenna Center also offers immersion programs for high school and college-age church groups. 19 Eye Street, NW | Washington DC 20001 202-842-1112 | fathermckennacenter.org

GMC President’s Letter
Dear Gonzaga Families and Friends, Welcome to the twenty eighth annual Christmas Gala! Tonight, Eye Street is a sparkling winter wonderland filled with the hope and joy of this season. I hope you enjoy a festive, spirited evening filled with great cheer, fellowship with cherished friends and goodwill toward your fellow bidders! So many Gonzaga friends and families gave freely of their time, talents and resources to make this event possible and I am so grateful to the members of our Gala Committee for their selfless spirit of giving that is the hallmark of Gonzaga. In particular, our Gala Chairs, Terri Burke and Jonna Stoycos, have brought a very special energy and magic to this Christmas Gala. On behalf of the entire Gonzaga community I’d like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Terri and Jonna for the many months of work planning and executing to make tonight’s Gala such a tremendous success. This is one fantastic party! Our great school continues to thrive, and we are honored to be able to raise funds tonight to be used to offer the opportunity of a Gonzaga education to students who otherwise would be unable to attend this school. While you relish the spirit of this Christmas celebration, I hope you will give generously in support of our wonderful school. Thank you for coming and for supporting Gonzaga! Merry Christmas to you all,
Nancy

Angel at the Tomb after the Resurrection This stunning cross-stitch depicts a close up of the Angel at the Tomb after the Resurrection. This work of art was hand-made by Rev. Robert Ruskamp of St. Mary’s Parish in Alexandria, VA. An accomplished cross-stitcher, Father Ruskamp has completed several intricate crossstitch reproductions of religious works which he has generously donated to school organizations such as St. Mary’s School in Alexandria and Gonzaga. Tonight we ask you all to “Raise a Paddle” to donate this beautiful work to Gonzaga.

Live Auction SISTER SETON CUNNEEN
Photo by William Leahy
Our own Sister Seton Cunneen, a Sister of Notre Dame de Namur, is multi dimensional. She’s a Classicist and taught for ten years at Trinity College in Washington, DC. She earned a Masters in Classics from New York University, was a Fulbright Scholar in Rome, and received another Masters in Campus Ministry from Fordham University. She was also the Director of Campus Ministry for Trinity College before her arrival on Eye Street in 1995 to become the Director of Service Programs. Through our Campus Ministry program, students can tutor local school children, provide meals to shut-ins or those with Aids; help with McKenna’s Wagon or at the Father McKenna Center here on Eye Street. Gonzaga students are learning to follow Sr. Seton to help those in need. Each spring and summer she travels with our young men to Apopka, Camden, Guatemala or the Dominican Republic. On these extraordinary service trips and programs Gonzaga students are given the opportunity to make working with the poor a “habit of the heart”. In 1995, Trinity College established a Fellowship in her honor and each year students compete to be recognized as a Cunneen Fellow. She was awarded the St. Aloysius Gonzaga Medal in 2004 for her unwavering service to the Church, her boundless love of the poor, and her gracefilled teaching of the young men in her care. Last spring, the Gonzaga Crew Team christened a Resolute Eight, the newest boat in the team’s fleet, the “Sr. Seton Cunneen”. In May, that very boat went on to make Gonzaga history by winning Scholastic Nationals. Join us in honoring a true “Woman for Others”, Sister Seton Cunneen

Live Auction THE AMAZING GONZAGA RACE
G IN E! AZ AC AM R E GA TH NZA GO
Many of you may watch the Emmy Award winning show “The Amazing Race” on Sunday Nights.

Teams of 2 solve clever clues and face fun challenges all while navigating the urban jungle via foot or on public transportation! And voila! You’ve got the Amazing Gonzaga Race! You and your strategically picked teammate (must be 21 or older) will be able to bid to be among the those who will compete on Saturday February 27th 2010, in the first Amazing GONZAGA Race. Teams will leave from Gonzaga and compete to find the answers and locations provided by clues along the Race Course. It will be a lot of fun and the first prize will be well worth the race. Once the teams arrive back at Gonzaga they will be cheered and welcomed by people who have signed up for The Amazing GONZAGA Race Dinner and Dance Sign Up Party, music provided by our very own Master Tunes Spinner, Head Rugby Coach, Lee Kelly. So get your paddle all warmed up and ready to bid on this new Gala Item!

Live Auction SANTA’S SURPRISE
Depending on where you are from, this is a Gonzaga twist on a game referred to as either a Christmas “White Elephant” or a “Yankee Swap”. The best part about this game is that it is purely a game of chance. Buy one ticket for $25 or 5 tickers for $100 and you could be the winner of one truly “Live Auction” status prize or one of three other great prizes. Here’s how it works: The first ticket number will be drawn by the Gala Co-Chairs and that person will come up and choose which gift box they “want” and stand beside it. The 2nd ticket number will then be pulled and that person will choose one of the remaining gift boxes or “take” the gift box that player #1 chose. Then the 3rd ticket will be drawn and that person may choose from one of the two remaining boxes or take the box of player #1 or #2. (A player may only be moved twice during the game). Then the 4th ticket will be drawn and that person will then pick a gift box from player # 2 or #3 or the remaining gift box. Finally, player #1 can move anyone and assume the gift that they want. (It does pay to be first!) Then we all watch as the presents are opened and someone wins a prize worthy of the LIVE AUCTION!
