Dear Gonzaga Families and Friends, On behalf of the Gonzaga Mothers’ Club, I am delighted to welcome you to our thirty-third annual Christmas Gala, The Purple Polar Express. Tonight we will board the train for an enchanted trip to a Christmas wonderland on Eye Street where we will enjoy a fabulous party and show our support for our beloved school by raising funds for our sons and for the Gonzaga community. Thank you to our Golden, Silver, and Purple sponsors, Gala Underwriters, and all the families and friends who have donated so generously to fill our auction with so many new and exciting items. All of you have exhibited the true spirit of giving – a gift from the heart to a school we have grown to love. Take a look at our Gala program - it is filled with so many beautiful ads supporting the Gala! The Purple Polar Express is a gift given by many of the Moms from the Mothers’ Club through hours of hard work, creativity and dedication. We are sincerely grateful to our talented 2014 Gala Chairs, Meghan McCaleb, Jill Mote and MaryBeth Powers, for their leadership in making this a special evening for the entire Gonzaga community. Our heartfelt appreciation goes to our truly fabulous group of Committee Chairpersons and volunteers who have spent many hours preparing for this evening. The results of their work will produce many gifts for Gonzaga. Tonight we are surrounded by dazzling decorations, exciting auction donations, delicious food and drink, and the opportunity to enjoy each other’s company while we raise money for Gonzaga. We hope you will be delighted by the many opportunities to bid on fantastic items and unique experiences, and that you will bid often! Thank you for being our guest this evening and for being a part of this special night, The Purple Polar Express. The spirit that sparkles throughout Gonzaga tonight and every day is a special one. How lucky we all are to be part of this awesome community! With warm wishes for an enjoyable evening and a very Merry Christmas, Rose Cameron President, Gonzaga Mothers’ Club

Giving Opportunities

The Father McKenna Center Table in the Carmody Center The Father McKenna Center was established in 1983 to carry on the legacy of Fr. Horace McKenna, the saintly Jesuit priest who served at St. Aloysius parish from 1964 until his death in 1982 and maintained a heroic apostolate to the poor of inner city Washington. The Center today continues to meet his concern for the homeless and poor of our community. The Center serves the area by operating a daytime drop-in center for homeless men, the last such facility in downtown Washington. We offer our guests assistance with showers, laundry, telephone and local transportation, as well as referrals for a wide array of basic services to meet medical, employment and other personal needs. We assist over 100 men a day with these programs. Our Transitional Shelter program will assist men each year in learning to regain life and work skills. In addition, we respond to hypothermia conditions each winter by offering overnight relief from the cold to up to 25 men, who are otherwise extremely vulnerable to winter weather. Our outreach to households in our community includes provision of rent and utility assistance to men, women, children and seniors each year, as well as the emergency food program, which assists hundreds of families annually, by providing up to a six day supply of food each month.

Sister Seton Cunneen, SND

Photo by William Leahy

Our own Sister Seton Cunneen, a Sister of Notre Dame de Namur, is multi- dimensional. She’s a Classicist and taught for ten years at Trinity College in Washington, DC. She earned a Masters in Classics from New York University, was a Fulbright Scholar in Rome, and received another Masters in Campus Ministry from Fordham University. She was also the Director of Campus Ministry for Trinity College before her arrival on Eye Street in 1995 to become the Director of Service Programs. Through our Campus Ministry program, students can tutor local school children, provide meals to shutins or those with AIDS; help with McKenna’s Wagon or at the Father McKenna Center here on Eye Street. Gonzaga students are learning to follow Sr. Seton to help those in need. Each spring and summer she travels with our young men to Apopka, Camden or the Dominican Republic. On these extraordinary service trips and programs, Gonzaga students are given the opportunity to make working with the poor a “habit of the heart”. In 1995, Trinity College established a Fellowship in her honor and each year students compete to be recognized as a Cunneen Fellow. She was awarded the St. Aloysius Gonzaga Medal in 2004 for her unwavering service to the Church, her boundless love of the poor, and her grace-filled teaching of the young men in her care. So beloved is our Sr. Seton that in 2009 the Gonzaga Crew Team christened a Resolute Eight the “Sr. Seton Cuneen”. It went on to make Gonzaga history by winning Scholarsic Nationals that year. The list of service opportunities at Gonzaga is robust and students know that they are welcome to stop in the Campus Ministry Office at almost any time. The proceeds from tonight’s coat check will benefit Gonzaga’s summer service projects. Please join us in thanking Sr. Seton Cunneen, a true Woman for Others.

Raise the Paddle to Update the Sound System in St. Al’s St. Aloysius Gonzaga Church is the heart of our school. At the start of each year, students, faculty and staff fill the magnificent church for the Mass of the Holy Spirit and conclude with Charter Day, Baccalaureate and Commencement. Through the seasons, weddings, school gatherings, and more are held in St. Al’s. Walk through the doors, and the sky blue walls, golden touches in the ceiling, and Brumidi painting are breathtaking. While the church was built in 1859, the sound system has not kept pace with recent renovations. Raise your Paddle to provide funds to update the sound system in the Great Church of St. Aloysius Gonzaga.
