Reunion Wrap-Up

REUNION One to Remember

Magnificat High School Reunion

To make up for a reunion lost to the pandemic, more than 330 women representing twenty-two graduating classes ending in 0s, 1s, 5s, and 6s attended the Reunion Celebration on September 25! The celebration began with Mass planned by Anne Doheny Krueger ’70 and Marilyn Duffy Gesing ’71 in collaboration with Magnificat Campus Ministers; and harpist Susan Strasek ’70 joined Music Director Kris Koma Comer ’86 and Music Ministers Chelsea Kacineri ’24 and Amelia Lamb ’22 to provide the beautiful music for Mass. Father Ray Guiao, SJ, brother of Maria Guiao ’81 and President of St. Ignatius High School presided over Mass, which culminated in a litany of remembrance for those alumnae who have gone before us. For alumnae who have not been on campus for many years, student ambassadors were on hand before and after Mass to provide tours and conversation about life as a Blue Streak in 2021. The party that followed Mass was filled with laughter, reminiscing, great food, and dancing—all spread out over several areas, including an outdoor tent where a steel drum duo and a DJ entertained.

Having the highest percentage of women who made reunion gifts, the Class of 1970 narrowly edged out the Class of 1971 to win the Reunion Giving Challenge, and they were rewarded with a Champagne Toast with President Moira Clark ’77. Magnificat is grateful to the many alumnae who made gifts totaling $31,741, including 41 alumnae who sponsored Reunion at levels ranging from $250 to $2,000. Their generosity helps ensure a Magnificat education for future generations of Blue Streaks.
