Dear St. Edward Community,

Each year I look forward to our annual St. Edward High School Recognition Dinner.  This event celebrates selfless servant leaders in our Community who have shared their gifts to advance the Holy Cross Mission of St. Edward.

Unfortunately, due to the important and necessary safety precautions our world is taking with the COVID-19 Virus, we are cancelling our Recognition Dinner that was scheduled for Tuesday, May 12, 2020. 

However, we are looking forward to celebrate our deserving honorees in 2021!  Please save the date of Tuesday, May 11, 2021 where we will honor and celebrate:

Marilyn and David Palisin '64:  Br. James A. Everett, C.S.C. Benefactor Award

Tim Cleary ’67:  Alumnus of the Year Award

Pat Kennedy ’87:  Bronze Eagle Award

Tom Ginley, D.O. ’77:  St. Andrè Bessette, C.S.C. Award

Tom Carey:  Br. Thomas Henning, C.S.C. Award

A famous quote attributed to St. Francis of Assisi says, “Preach the Gospel at all times. And, when necessary, use words.”

These special people live the Gospels and live our Holy Cross Mission as models for us all.  They also display so naturally the Holy Cross ideals of hospitality and humility.  They model lives defined by service for our next generation.  On behalf of our students, faculty and staff members and the entire St. Edward Community, I want to thank them for the example they continue to set for all of us.

Continued prayers for you and your family.

St. Br. Andre Bessette, C.S.C., pray for us! 

 Jim Kubacki
