SPECIAL CLASS REUNION – 50 YEARS
THE CLASS OF 1959 CELEBRATES ITS 5Oth!
Members of the Class of 1959 commemorated the 50th anniversary of their graduation on October 4, 2009, in conjunction with the annual Alumni Sunday Memorial Mass. Classmates reunited to serve as greeters at the Mass, read the Prayer of the Faithful petitions and present the Offertory gifts, which included class memorabilia. They also renewed acquaintances with alumni from other classes at a reception in St. Charles Hall which followed the Mass. Later in the day, they continued reminiscing with classmates at an informal gathering at Kronies Bar & Grill on Elmwood Avenue in the Town of Tonawanda.
The Class of ’59 is still looking for classmates Mollie Hammer, Karen Hodgson, Marion Hoffman, Wayne Roetzer or Martin Wronski. If you are in contact with any of them, please share this news of with them or contact us at blessedtrinitychurch [at] gmail [dot] com and the reunion committee will do the rest.
IN MEMORIAM – Albert J. Young, ’51
Albert J. Young, ’51 (April 30, 1938 – February 23, 2009)
Albert J. (“Al”) Young was an integral part of the alumni committee from its founding in 2005 until shortly before his death in February 2009. Even while undergoing treatments for cancer, Al always wanted to know when the next planning session or mailing was scheduled, and he rarely missed a meeting. Our alumni web page is dedicated to Al.
