Florence A. (O’Neil) Bernard V33 and Ralph Bernard Sr. Florence A. (O’Neil) Bernard V33
TheBernard Family believes in, and is committed to Catholic Education, Mr. Ralph Bernard, Jr. and Mrs. Regina Bernard Dain V65 will carry on the legacy initiated by their parents, Ralph Sr. and Florence A. Bernard.
The Bernard Family encompasses a long legacy of supporting Catholic Education. Thank you to the Bernard Family for your continued generosity and for giving $75,000 to support scholarships for our students.
Page 2 Due to the growing concerns in regards to the coronavirus, and school closings ordered by Governor DeWine, we had no choice but to go to a virtual “Showcase” event. Although we are disappointed that we will not be able to host the in-person event that was scheduled for April 4th, we are still asking our community to attend via our online auction. The auction will begin on Wednesday April 1st and remain open until Sunday April 5th at 10:00 PM. This gives everyone ample opportunity to bid on many amazing items available for auction. Items will available for pickup at the school in the coming weeks. If you reside outside of our area, we can make shipping arrangements. Each year, our “Showcase” event involves countless hours from so many members of the STVM community. This year was no exception as many have spent time preparing for Showcase. I am extremely grateful to all of you that provided your time and talents. Thank you to our co-chairs, Kris Rosenfeld and Betsy Tavolier for all of the planning and organizing you did over the past few months. Thank you to Gino D’Andrea, Advancement Director, and Michelle Schaeffer, Event Planner, for all that you did, and have done preparing for “Showcase”, and making the virtual “Showcase” event possible. St. Vincent-St. Mary High School has stayed true to its mission. It is our goal to fill the heart with faith, educate the mind and develop the body of every student. We are building upon the dream of so many to truly provide our students a complete high school experience. Students come to St. Vincent-St. Mary for many reasons. Some come to follow a dream … others come to find a dream. What they all find is a Catholic community where teachers, coaches and administrators take time to care and insist on the highest standards of academic performance and behavior. The eyes of a student from St. Vincent-St. Mary High School are filled with endless possibilities. On behalf of our faculty, staff, and students I thank you for your continued support. Please continue to do what is needed to keep you and your families safe during this coronavirus pandemic. We will continue to keep all of you in our prayers, and please pray for all those affected, and their caregivers.
God Bless,
Thomas M. Carone President, VM77
