CARDINAL NEWMAN BENEFIT A HUGE SUCCESS!
WE RAISED OVER $25,000.00
|
|
|
Dear Parents, Alumni and Students:
On behalf of myself and Rev. William Donahue, Pastor and President, we thank you for the tremendous community support of last Saturday’s Mass and Pasta Feed benefit for the Cardinal Newman High School families, faculty and staff.
I have never experienced the outpouring of support in my 24 years working in Catholic schools, as I did with the community of St. Vincent's parents, students and friends.
St. Vincent de Paul High School came together in one week and created an event with just over 700 attendees raising $25,191.00. We have shared with the communities of Petaluma, Northern Marin and Sonoma an example of our skill and determination. When we at
St. Vincent de Paul set our mind, passion and focus—we can accomplish any goal set forth.
Stacey Badaglia ’89 and Kerry Pedersen ’89 took the idea and ran with it after it was presented at a meeting with myself, Ms. Claudia Thompson, Vice Principal and Ms. Marie Rodnick, Director of Campus Ministry. I cannot thank these alumni enough for reaching out and bringing together the communities of St. Vincent de Paul High School and Cardinal Newman to support our diocesan school community.
We would like to thank the following companies for donating so generously to the event: Pasta King, Jackson Family Wines, Regal Wine Company, Franco American Bakery, Peppermill Reno, Antonis Construction, Eagle Distributing, Lagunitas Brewing Company, El Dorado Hotel, Napa Sonoma Grocery, Hard Water House, Coca Cola company, Morris Distributing, Cotati Foods, Lace House Linen, Encore Events, Minuteman Press, A16, Hotel Zetta, Montgomery Family, AAS Auto Detailing, Browne Family, National Ice, Wilson Winery, Morris Distributing, Cheryl's Driving School and Southern Glazers Wine and Spirits.
“There is no limit to what a man or woman can do or where he or she can go if he or she doesn’t mind who gets the credit.”
This quote represents the vision of Rev. Donahue, myself and the new direction of St. Vincent de Paul High School. Thank you with all our hearts.
Sincerely,
Patrick W. Daly
Principal

ALUMNI & MULTI-GENERATIONAL FAMILIES TURN OUT FOR PANCAKE BREAKFAST BENEFIT
|
|
|
$1800 was gifted to the schools_after the last griddle was washed and dried!
|
|
|
We have been enjoying a lot of pancakes the last few weeks—but what made last Friday's benefit breakfast extra special–in addition to the live Jazz Band–was the enjoyment of being surprised at the door by alumni and multi-generational families showing up to support St Rose School, Roseland Collegiate Prep and Cardinal Newman Schools.
Irene Carnazola (class of 1948) and her brother Ron (class of 1957) attended the Pancake Breakfast and returned the next evening for the Pasta Feed! Irene, Ron and their three siblings all graduated from SVES and SVHS. Siblings include Evelyn (class of 1945), Emma (class of 1949), and Andrew (class of 1954.)

Not pictured, but also in the kitchen, Barbara Tarrant (class of 1980) who sent 5 children through both SVES and SVHS—and loves a good pancake breakfast!
