2024 Garden of Dreams Gala & Auction


As many of you know, we are rapidly approaching our largest fundraiser of the year. This year’s Auction and Gala is set to be an exciting event for our families, benefactors, and friends of the school. Without the support generated by this event we would not be able to operate as a Catholic school. Consistent with our mission, we require the commitment of our broader community to ensure that all students are served at the highest level possible. 


If you have not registered to attend, please consider doing so. We understand that many of you may not be able to attend. Thankfully, there are ample opportunities for you to sponsor the event and participate remotely. 


I look forward to seeing you all at this special event on Saturday, April 6, 2024 at Brae Burn Country Club, Newton, MA.


God Bless,

Mr. Ian Snyder | Head of School
