Letter from the President
Dear Friends of St. Francis Catholic High School,
Welcome to our Revelry Diamond Jubilee, a celebration of the 75th Anniversary of St. Francis Catholic High School,
and the tenth year of our Revelry Auction Gala! This evening celebrates the legacy of St. Francis and commitment to
our mission and educational ministry.
Our hardworking Revelry chairs, Maria Reid Vail ’82 and Diane Geremia McLaughlin ’82 forged a lifelong friendship
at St. Francis more than thirty years ago as Troubadours - the “Winnie the Pooh and Tiggers!” Today, they join
together demonstrating the lasting relationships fostered at SFHS and their commitment to service as parents of current
Troubies - Christina ’19 and Jacqueline Vail ’17, and Megan McLaughlin’16. Their time as Troubadours, just like that
of their daughters, is “Four years that last a lifetime!”
The Revelry Committee has worked tirelessly over the last several months to prepare for this spectacular evening
having poured incredible time, creativity, and passion into every detail of the celebration. We extend a special thank
you and recognition to our Presenting Sponsors Katina Rapton (Lexi Karres ’17) and John E. Cook, Jr. in memory of
Sandra Geary Cook ’54 (Cathleen Cook Asmann ’79 and Laura Cook ’81).
Through the generosity of our Revelry guests, the “Hands Up for Troubies” items over the years have enhanced
educational programs and our beautiful campus. This year we continue the opportunity to raise a paddle to provide a
much needed facelift to the heart of our campus - Serra Court. As the breaking of bread brings us together as a faith
community, our outdoor environment should draw us together and enhance our gathering. With the completion of
our state-of-the-art dining hall, we will enhance Serra Court with additional seating for outdoor gathering, community
celebration, and for play time.
On behalf of the young Troubies who benefit from your generosity, the faculty and staff of St. Francis - partners
in educating your daughters, I offer my sincerest gratitude. You help provide a life-changing experience, offering
opportunities to know God, appreciate their unique gifts and talents, and understand their responsibilities in the world
and be of service to others.
With your support, “St. Francis graduates young women who change the world.”
In the Spirit of Pax et Bonum,
Margo Reid Brown ’81
President
