Thank You for Supporting "Celebrate the Academy!"

We were honored to celebrate all of the accomplishments of Distinguished Alumna Rebecca Dessoffy Bennett '91 and Medaille Shield recipient Michael F. Biehl P'14, the husband of Eileen Baugh Biehl '75.

The 2021 gala was held virtually as a weekend filled with opportunities to honor the Grit, Grace & Gratitude of our incredible and resilient community. The events included deliveries to sponsors, in-person silent auction viewing and a virtual prayer service. There were more than 300 guests and volunteers in attendance, netting more than $237,000 for the 73% of our students who rely on tuition assistance in order to attend Saint Joseph Academy.

We would like to acknowledge the dedication and hard work of the following parents/guardians who served as the Event Committee and helped make our virtual “Celebrate the Academy” gala a success: Denise Caruso P’23, Julie Szy-Krankowski ’91, P’21 & ’23, Michelle Lopez P’22, Sarah Lorek P’20 & ’22, Julia Mayer P’21, Mary Molnar P’23, Mary Kay Mullen P’23, Sherri Robertson P’22, Tiffany Safran P’23, Nicole Salerno P’24, Maureen Schlueter P’20 & ’24, Galen Schuerlein P’23, Christine Takacs P’22, Jen Turco P’23 and Maureen and Joe Wagner P’22, ’23, ’23 & ’23.

We are grateful for their willingness to make this event unforgettable. A special thank you to our “Celebrate the Academy” Chair Julia Mayer P’21 for her leadership, time, creativity and overall love of Saint Joseph Academy.
