Every Gift to the O’Hara Fund - No Matter the Size -
Makes a Difference!
Donations to the O’Hara Fund are an investment in the future of the school and in our students. They help keep O’Hara affordable and allow us to provide an unparalleled, immersive, and transformational Catholic educational experience inside the classroom and out.
Your gift to the O’Hara Fund, no matter the size, makes a difference. It is your way of being part of O’Hara’s success today, and of helping our students build their successful tomorrows.

Save the Date: A Musical Tribute to Ted Pasternak |
On Friday, May 20, 2022 in conjunction with the Pasternak Community Band, Cardinal O'Hara will be hosting a Tribute Concert to Ted "Mr. P" Pasternak. Ted Pasternak was band director at O'Hara from 1982-1997. He touched the lives of many through his love for life, passion for music, and gifts for teaching. He was a talented educator, an inspirational conductor, and an entertaining performer. Ted took equal pride in playing at Carnegie Hall with legendary greats such as Andrea Bocelli and Luciano Pavarotti or playing in the Band Room with his many devoted students. The event will honor the legacy of Mr. P, as Ted was known to his students, through performances of some of his favorite works including the performance of Gabriel Fauré's Pavane and Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture. Memories will be shared by Ted's former students and colleagues. The concert is an event in support of the Pasternak Music Hall Project that aims at the coming dedication of the O'Hara band room as the Pasternak Music Hall. We are grateful to the Pasternak Community Band for lending their musical talents for this event. Anyone interested in supporting the Pasternak Music Hall Project is invited to contact Mr. Hector Ramirez, band director at hramirez@cohs.com
