Mercy Spirit Gala

MERCY'S 10TH ANNIVERSARY SPIRIT GALA

Our Lady of Mercy School for Young Women celebrated our 10th Annual Spirit Gala weekend on November 16th and 17th.  Family Fun Night set record breaking attendance.  Hosted by Annette Ramos and Rosanna Calascibetta, the night was filled with a money booth, photo booth, hair feathering, games and crafts for the younger kids.  All enjoyed the concession stands with pizza from Cam's and many other yummy treats.  The teens relaxed upstairs in the coffee house listening to fellow teens performing acoustical arrangements showcasing their amazing talents.  The parents enjoyed the luxury of chair massages and decadent desserts in the adult gathering area.

Mercy Spirit Gala: Saturday night the Albert and Eva Bonsignore Family Athletic Center and the Catherine McAuley Gallery were transformed into a festive "Roaring Twenties" celebration.  Guests came dressed in 1920's style clothing and black tie attire.  Event chairs Joe & Jennifer Roxstrom and Chris & Renee McNiffe welcomed 350 guests to celebrate the following honorees:

Charles & Kathleen Bonsignore Walgreen '61
Catherine McAuley Philanthropy and Vision Award

Charles & Donna Graham
Sister Mary Francesca Award for Service to the Mercy Community

Sister Patricia Beairsto, RSM

The night was complete with silent and live auctions and each table was graced with fine wine from our local Casa Larga winery, which has supported the Spirit Gala for 10 years.  This festive event raised a record breaking profit of over $170,000 for Our Lady of Mercy!
