It was a night to remember!

St. Edward’s 45th Anniversary Celebration & Reunion was attended by more than 200 alumni, faculty (both past and present), parents, families and friends. The evening began with a Mass, concelebrated by Fr. Thomas M. Fusco, pastor of St. Edward the Confessor, Msgr. John M. Martin, and two SEC graduates -- Fr. Gregory Breen (’71) and Fr. Robert Coyle (’78). Deacon Tom Reilly also participated in the Mass. Former principals, Sister Helen Anne Ebbitt, Sister Madeline Moore (formerly Sister Stanislaus) and Sister Margaret Ann Hartigan were joined by current principal Mrs. Anne Schaefer in bringing up the Offertory gifts. Members of SEC’s Class of 2006 also took part in the Mass. Conor Nickel and Elizabeth Vasile served as lectors. Ashley Morris was the cantor. The altar servers were Daniel Vanderhoef and David D’Alauro.

Mass was followed by a festive gathering in the newly renovated gymnasium and Holy Family Room, which is located where the original church had been. (The original church was destroyed in a fire in August, 2000.) A complete list of attendees is available on the Reunion Guest List link.

The spirit of the evening was resounding joy - reminding us all of the important role St. Edward School plays in our parish and in the lives of the faculty, students and their families.
