On Thursday, November 1^st, you and the rest of the St. Charles Community are cordially invited to help us celebrate three very meaningful happenings.

We will commence our gathering at 11:40 a.m. that day in the Robert C. Walter Student Commons with Mass for the Feast of All Saints, with a special emphasis on the Feast of our very own patron, St. Charles Borromeo. This liturgy will include the presentation of the school’s highest honors in recognition of the service and generosity of two very special people on behalf of St. Charles Preparatory School and the Diocese of Columbus: Reverend William Arnold ’70 (The Borromean Medal for Distinguished Service) and Mrs. Margaret Crabtree (The Principal’s Award for Leadership and Service to St. Charles).  

Directly afterward, please join us for an Open House in the school’s newly constructed Robotics and Mentoring Center located on Long Street just past the  school’s Robert D. Walter West Campus facility and the railroad viaduct. The event will include a light lunch and refreshments. The center can be reached by foot or by car -- but for convenience, shuttles will be on hand to transport guests to the facility and back to Main Campus.

To make the day even more momentous, St. Charles will officially announce the launch of The Vision for the Future, the most ambitious initiative in the school’s history, during the Open House. This $20 million, five-year campaign is focused on three areas: building the school’s endowments, enhancing its facilities (including the construction of new building to house new labs, classroom and a gymnasium) and preparing for future growth and expansion.

Once again, we hope you can share some time out of your busy schedule to join  in these celebrations!

To make sure that we have plenty of food on hand for the reception, please let Louis J. Fabro ’83 know that you plan to attend with an RSVP by Thursday, Oct. 25, 2018 to this address ([email protected]) or call the Development Office at 614-252-9288.

We are eager to share this great day with you!
