  • Joe Mazzulla

    Joe Mazzulla has quickly established himself as a top-tier NBA coach, leading the Boston Celtics to the 2024 NBA Championship with an impressive 16-3 postseason record. Mazzulla compiled an outstanding regular-season record of 121-43 and at just 35 years old, he is the youngest head coach to win the NBA Finals since Bill Russell did so in 1969 as a player-coach.

    A former West Virginia University standout and Big East Academic All-Star, off the court Mazzulla began his journey back to his Catholic faith while in college as he worked through injury and personal challenges. 

    Since becoming head coach of the Celtics, he is widely known for his strong devotion to his Catholic faith, seeking God's guidance in his coaching decisions. He practices "prayer walks” around the TD Garden before games, often reciting the rosary and reflecting on his faith, which he believes is a part of his core identity that serves as an anchor guiding him throughout his life and career. 

    His rapid rise in the coaching ranks and his success in Boston solidify him as one of the most promising coaches in professional basketball today, while his commitment to his Catholic faith serves to uplift and inspire those seeking a stronger relationship with God.

  • How An Evening With... Was Born

    Through the vision of 1963 alumnus Bob Walter and his wife, Peggy, St. Charles Preparatory School introduced “An Evening With…”, with the goal of featuring intriguing speakers and thought provoking topics, while also raising funds to provide tuition assistance to St. Charles students in need.

    The annual event has welcomed distinguished presenters such as Wall Street icon, Peter Lynch; sports broadcaster, Dick Vitale; military hero and patriot, Major Dan Rooney; U.S. Army veteran, CEO of the Robin Hood Foundation and Governor, Wes Moore; former football star and Christian missionary, Tim Tebow; Nicholas James Vujicic, a motivational speaker born with a rare disorder characterized by the absence of all four limbs; Magnus MacFarlane-Barrow, Founder and CEO of Mary’s Meals, providing life-changing meals to the world’s poorest children; His Eminence Cardinal Timothy Dolan, who currently serves as a member of the Dicastery for Evangelization and participated in the Conclave that elected Pope Francis.
     
    Because of the generosity and commitment from our St. Charles families and benefactors, our "An Evening With ... " speaker series has grown significantly since 2015, building an endowment that every year, provides over $2 million in tuition assistance to
    St. Charles students in need.
