The weekend kicked off on Friday evening with a Night at the Races and dinner. Family, friends and fellow alum joined for a fun evening of dinner, horse racing, games and sharing memories. On Saturday the Ladies of Charity and the alumni committee hosted the Sisters of Charity, as well as former faculty, staff, and clergy for the blessing and dedication of the Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton statue. This event was to honor the Sisters of Charity who dedi- cated over 100 years of service to the students and families of St. Stephen School. The sisters arrived at St. Stephen in 1893 with 8 sisters to teach grades 1-8. They served the school commu- nity through the final school term of 2004-2005. There was a total of 220 sisters who passed through the school doors. Sister Gertrude Litzinger was appointed the first principal. The afternoon luncheon immedi- ately followed with a slide show and walk down memory lane pro- vided by Rose Velgich '81. There wasn't a dry eye in the room. On Sun- day, a continen- tal breakfast was served in the parish hall at 9:00am. Tom Cline, ‘78, topped off the weekend by donating St. Stephen Alumni Polo Shirts to the committee and souvenir Spartan cups for all who attended the weekend events. The weekend was about embracing old memories and making new ones. Pictures from the weekend will be avail- able on the parish website.
