Night in Blue 2022 Ad Book

Welcome to the 65th Annual Night in Blue!

Dear Magnificat Alumnae, Families, and Friends,

Thank you for joining us for the annual Night in Blue Bazaar & Pasta Dinner, a time-honored tradition that has been the hallmark of each Magnificat school year since 1957. It’s wonderful to have you join us for what has already become a successful Night in Blue, with over $120,000 raised in sponsorships and advertisements alone!

Night in Blue has always been and will always be about students helping students Year after year, students work hard to meet their fundraising goals because they want to make sure that every young woman who wants to come to Magnificat is able to do so. They understand the importance of our holistic approach to education, and they want students for many generations to come to have the same opportunity to grow into faith-filled, courageous leaders who make a positive impact.

Thank you for all you have done and continue to do in the name of the continuation of this Mission that was set in motion by the Sisters of the Humility of Mary in 1955. Whether you are an alumna, sponsor, advertiser, ticket buyer, or volunteer, each and every one of you is crucial to the Magnificat spirit that makes Night in Blue successful each year. We are deeply grateful, and we’ll see you in the Bingo Hall!

In the Spirit of Mary’s Magnificat,

The Essence of EnnisCourt

and commitment to dignity, care, compassion, comfort and kindness

Through our holistic approach, we nourish the complete person – mind, body, and spirit –in a sensory stimulating community of faith. Residents are truly at home in a sanctuary of peace where dignity, choice and individuality are sacred, while rehabilitative and rejuvenating therapies help them to maximize independence and experience personal growth.

Families play an integral role in partnership with our caregiving team, forming a lifelong bond with EnnisCourt and creating cherished moments and lasting memories.

While people of all faiths are welcome, EnnisCourt is deeply committed to supporting the traditions of the Catholic faith. Dedicated priests provide pastoral services that guide residents on their spiritual journey, celebrating Mass and administering sacraments that bring healing, reconciliation and peace.
