The Diamond Anniversary & Ring of Honor Gala was a tremendous success, uniting alumni, Ring of Honor members, faculty and staff, parents, and benefactors in a shared spirit of pride, generosity, and gratitude.
Guests were treated to delicious dinner prepared by our on-campus caterer and Gala sponsor, Sodexo, followed by recognition of our Ring of Honor members present, an exciting Live Auction, and then danced the night away to the incredible Matt Mauser Big Band. A most special highlight of the evening was the inauguration of the Clare Endowment Fund honoring longtime principal Frances Clare and her 50 years of dedicated service to Catholic education. This endowment will provide steady, mission-aligned support for long-term sustainability for academic innovation helping ensure Mater Dei continues to thrive for generations to come.
Thank you to all who came together to make the evening a beautiful celebration worthy of Mater Dei's 75 years of honor, glory, and love.
In addition to the Gala, the online auction featured nearly 300 items and drew enthusiastic bidding from across the community and the country. Thank you to all who participated! If you were fortunate enough to win an item, pick up info is below.
