Lancer Gala 2025

Dear SJCA Community,

Our hearts are truly overflowing with gratitude. Thanks to you, this year’s Lancer Gala was an unforgettable night of celebration, generosity, and mission-driven purpose. Together, we didn’t just meet our goal — we surpassed it in extraordinary fashion.

With your support, we raised $315,696, with donations still coming in. This surpasses our goal of $275,000 and represents stronger classrooms, enriched learning, and new opportunities for every student at SJCA.

One of the most inspiring moments of the evening was the overwhelming support for Tools for Teachers, which reached an unprecedented $55,385.

We extend heartfelt appreciation to the Duncan Family for their generous $20,000 match. Their leadership energized the room and helped propel us to a remarkable milestone. Because of this collective generosity, teachers will have the resources they need to bring innovation, creativity, and excellence into their classrooms each day.

To our 71 Guardian Angels, Arch Angels, and Angels, thank you. Your faithful commitment to our mission shines brightly.

From the elegant dining experience to the curated bourbon and champagne offerings, it was a night filled with joy, connection, and celebration. Energy and excitement filled the room as generous bidders secured unforgettable trips to Mexico, Italy, Greece, and Hawaii.

For those who joined us, thank you for bringing the spirit of Lancer pride to life. For those unable to attend, we missed you and hope you will join us next year. The Gala continues to grow and inspire, and we would be honored to celebrate with you in 2026.

With great appreciation,

Thank you to Alumni Kyle Matrise ‘20 for organizing this meaningful event.

 

Last week, our 7th and 8th graders visited Holy Hill Basilica and the National Shrine of Mary. Our students explored the picturesque grounds, prayed the outdoor Stations of the Cross, and celebrated Mass with a Carmelite priest for a full day of renewal in body, mind, and spirit.

A very special thank-you to Mr. Kyle Matrise ’20 in our Theology Department for planning such a meaningful outing for our students and chaperones.
