2024 Combined Reunion Weekend Biggest Ever
Those who celebrated included the Classes of 1954, 1959, 1964, 1974, 1979, 1984, 1989, 1994, 1999, 2004, 2009, 2014 & 2019
A record number of alumni from 13 different classes took part in the 2024 Combined Class Reunion Weekend (September 20-22) which included a wide variety of activities for the attendees and their families.
Things “kicked off” early that Friday afternoon with the reunion’s
“Beer-N-Brats” Stag Night in the new Frank E. Murphy ’54 Convocation Center. It included refreshments, dinner, class photos and a presentation by Head of School, Jim Lower. Attendees were also honored at halftime of the Homecoming football game.
On Saturday, campus tours were provided by Louis J. Fabro ’83 and Dan Tarpy before an All-Classes Mass in the Mother of Mercy Chapel. We were honored to have at our liturgy a number of alumni clergy including Fr. PJ Shelton, SJ ’99 (main celebrant and homilist), Msgr. Paul Enke ’64, Fr. Jacob Stinnett ’14, Msgr. Bill Dunn ’57 and Deacon Frank Iannarino ’71.
Later that night, most classes arranged private class gatherings for graduates and their wives/significant others. These included venerable SC gathering spots such as T.A.T. Ristorante di Famiglia (1959 and 1974), Byrne’s Pub (1979), The Top Restaurant (1964), and Plank’s Café (1999), among several other locations around Central Ohio.
St. Charles is very grateful to each class’s reunion committee whose members spent many hours organizing gatherings and encouraging the attendance of their classmates. We are especially appreciative of those graduates who made the trip to 2010 E. Broad Street from all over the country.
St. Charles hopes that its alumni left these events with a special feeling of pride in the school, which is mirrored by their Alma Mater’s pride in them!
