Comedy and Cuisine

As honorary chairpersons for this year’s Comedy & Cuisine, we would like to thank you for this honor and for your participation in this important fund-raising event. Comedy & Cuisine represents the coming together of many volunteers and contributors who share the desire to help the school that has done so much to shape our lives and the lives of our children.

When we were raising our children, we often commented on how true was the statement that “it takes a village to raise a child.” Over those many years we found again and again that our village was St. Cecilia’s. Whether we were on the bleachers at the baseball field, at Mass in the Cathedral on Sunday, sitting in the gym watching the grade school musical, or socializing at Mama’s, we always knew that the community of St. Cecilia’s was keeping the welfare of our children and their best interests close to their hearts.

We also know that the current economic environment makes the sacrifices of Catholic education a real challenge for many. But please believe us: those sacrifices reap a multitude of blessing on all who accept the challenge. Your belief in the mission of St. Cecilia Grade School is the reason our school is the nationally recognized Blue Ribbon institution it is today.

So once again, thank you for your participation tonight, for your continued support of St. Cecilia, and most of all, for the cherished friendships you have shared with us.

Sincerely yours,

Barry and Mary Gerken
