December 1, 2012 Dear Gonzaga Families and Friends, On behalf of the Gonzaga Mothers’ Club, I am delighted to welcome you to our thirty-first annual Christmas Gala, Celtic Christmas. Tonight we will celebrate Christmas together on Eye Street at this fabulous party and also show our support for our beloved school by raising funds for our boys and the Gonzaga community.

December 1, 2012 Dear Gonzaga Families and Friends: Welcome to Celtic Christmas, the 31st Annual Gonzaga Gala! We come together to toast the beginning of the Christmas season, but more importantly to celebrate Gonzaga College High School and all that the school has done to nurture our boys as they become Men for Others. To this end, many Gonzaga Moms have come together over the past several months to help us plan, coordinate and work on the various activities required to make this Gala possible. We give heartfelt thanks to all the wonderful Gonzaga Moms who have generously donated their time and talent, no matter how big or small. We are also thankful that our boys and our families are part of the special community that is Gonzaga. While our only sons, Christian and Paul, will graduate this year, they and our families will always be part of the Gonzaga community. We hope that the proceeds from tonight’s Gala will allow Gonzaga to welcome and nurture future Eagles and their families. Let the festivities begin! Merry Christmas!

Giving Opportunities

The Father McKenna Center Table in the Carmody Center Located in the basement of St. Aloysius Church on the Gonzaga campus, the Father McKenna Center has continued the work of the saintly Fr. Horace McKenna, S.J., since its founding in 1983. The center exists to help the poor and homeless in one of the city’s poorest neighborhoods and serves men, women and families through its programs that include: men’s daytime drop-in center; food pantry serving families and senior citizens; rent and utility assistance to prevent homelessness; cold weather hypothermia shelter to prevent homeless men from freezing to death on our streets; and a small transitional living program. Bid on Gala item 1105 – McKenna Center Experience in the Super Silent Category. A father and son can experience first hand the operation of the Fr. McKenna Hypothermia Center which is open every day from November 1 through April 1.

“God is Purple” Stop by the Summer Service Projects Table in Carmody Center to purchase a “God is Purple” t-shirt for $18.00. Gonzaga offers its students outstanding opportunities during the summer to further their understanding of the underprivileged. These projects take students to places like Emmitsburg, MD; Camden, NJ; New Orleans, LA; Red Cloud, SD; the Dominican Republic; or Ecuador. Each experience enhances the student’s education in becoming a Man for Others. Proceeds from the sale of these t-shirts support the Gonzaga Summer Service Projects. In addition, the money raised from the Live Auction item Dinner for Fourteen with Sister Seton will be donated to Gonzaga’s summer service project program.

Sister Seton Cunneen, SND

Photo by William Leahy

Our own Sister Seton Cunneen, a Sister of Notre Dame de Namur, is multidimensional. 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 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 grace-filled 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.

May your home be filled with laughter May your pockets be filled with gold And may you have all the happiness Your Irish heart can hold.

Raise Your Bid Card to Broadcast Graduation Raise your bid card to give Gonzaga the ability to broadcast Graduation ceremonies from The Great Church of St. Aloysius to an extended audience of family and friends in the newly renovated theater. With your help tonight, we can raise the money for cameras and equipment so that more siblings, grandparents and friends will be able to share this glorious celebration with Gonzaga graduates. The cameras and equipment will be permanent, yet unobtrusive and will remain in the church allowing Gonzaga to broadcast from the Church for years to come. Please raise your bid card when the level of giving that you want to support is announced.

Hail to the Redskins! Expires 12/30/2012 John & Joan Vassos Value: $15,000 1007 Heads and Tails to Benefit Gonzaga’s Clock Tower Help us help our iconic clock! The clock which has watched over Gonzaga since 1861 is one of the most powerful symbols of Gonzaga College High School. The elaborate clock movement located in the tower was machined by hand by a Jesuit in the early 1860’s named Brother Wright whose job as a Jesuit back then was to make and maintain such time pieces. Powered by three massive weights, the movement runs the clock and rings the bells on the quarter hour. Brother Wright is reported to have also made the tower clock movement at Georgetown University and other Jesuit institutions. Maintaining this treasure will always require us to make financial investments from time to time. The proceeds from Heads and Tails will be used towards replacing the mechanism which automatically winds the clock and restoring the clock faces which have weathered over time. Please help us keep our clock on time! Winner of Heads and Tails will receive a collection of fine wine. (Information on Gonzaga’s clock provided by Father Stephen Planning, S.J.) Value: $15 per person to play 1008 Clock Tower Tour with Father Planning Get ready to be part of something special.

Father Planning will lead you up the steps of the storied and iconic clock tower where you’ll have a spectacular view of Gonzaga and the city along with an opportunity to see what is behind some of Gonzaga’s locked doors. When you reach the top, your son(s) will have the opportunity to participate in an old Gonzaga tradition and add his name to the tower wall where former students etched theirs for posterity. Just as Father Planning was photographed for The Washington Post, you, too, can have your picture taken with your face peering from the face of the clock. As a souvenir of this exceptional day, you will receive a custom Gonzaga logo watch and four Clock Tower t-shirts created just for this climb. As in life, it’s not about how fast you get there, it’s about the CLIMB… and this will be the climb of your life! Restrictions: Mutually agreeable date.

We have talked about this possibility for years and now we have the chance to make this a reality! Gonzaga’s Commencement ceremony is something to behold! Majestic music fills the Great Church of St. Aloysius Gonzaga and parents stand in awe as their sons, Men for Others in stunning white dinner jackets, process up the center aisle.

With your help tonight, we can raise the money for cameras and equipment so that more siblings, grandparents and friends will be able to share this glorious celebration with Gonzaga graduates. The cameras and equipment will be permanent, yet unobtrusive and will remain in the church allowing Gonzaga to broadcast from the Church for years to come. 1013 Student Parking on Eye Street Premiere Student Parking on Eye Street!
