“Erev tov” (Good evening), and welcome to Gaudiosa 2020, “An Evening in The Holy Land.” Each year, this “joyous feast” celebrates St. Ignatius’ journey to founding the Society of Jesus. It brings together a diverse group of Jesuit parents, grandparents, alumni, and friends from our broader community. We gather tonight for a singular purpose --- to help support and sustain Jesuit High School’s financial aid program for deserving young men from across the Tampa Bay area. Centuries ago, St. Ignatius was profoundly shaped by his pilgrimage to The Holy Land where he devotedly walked in the footsteps of Christ our Lord. His transformative journey was only made possible through the charity of others. This evening, we are connected to that past, and to that spirit of giving which has helped develop regular boys into “Men for Others” for hundreds of years. I am extremely grateful for the generosity of our patrons, auction donors, and all of you who have joined us this evening. I especially want to thank the Event Committee and Volunteers. It has truly been an honor to work with you, and your selflessness has truly been an inspiration. I also want to thank Jesuit’s Development team who serve the school with integrity and excellence every day. My warmest wishes to you for a wonderful evening filled with friendship, good cheer, and fellowship. Shalom Aleichem! (Peace be upon you).
