Gonzaga Football vs Belen Jesuit - 9.22.23 (Gameday Program)

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Dear Gonzaga Football Fans,

We are excited to begin the 135th season of Gonzaga Football! Each year the football season helps kick off our academic year; a hope-filled year of growth in grace, age, and wisdom through a variety of anticipated and surprising victories.

This year is a poignant one for our entire Gonzaga Community as we continue to gratefully remember Mr. Joe Reyda ’85, Gonzaga’s long-time Athletic Director, and former football coach, who unexpectedly passed away on June 27, 2023. He loved all things Gonzaga and especially Gonzaga Athletics. Joe will be deeply missed, yet his devotion and tireless example of service to our school will long be remembered.

On behalf of our Headmaster, Mr. Tom Every, our acting Athletic Director Mr. Jim Kilroy, and our entire Gonzaga Community, I would like to express to all of those participating in the football program this year my earnest wish for a successful season! Please know your hard work and persistent dedication are respected and deeply appreciated.

I hold special gratitude for the families who do so much to help make Gonzaga the extraordinary school community we all know and deeply value. In addition, I am grateful to the coaches who instruct, encourage, and guide our fine young men.

Finally, I continue to pray that the spirit of St. Aloysius Gonzaga may inspire each-and-every student-athlete to do his best, to give his best, both on and off of the field, this fall. Gonzaga Hail & Go Eagles!

Sincerely, with every best wish,

Fr. Joseph E. Lingan, SJ ‘75 President
