Immaculate To Host

‘An Evening To Remember’

DANBURY — On Saturday, March 24, Immaculate High School will host “An Evening to Remember: To Serve in Love,” its Second Annual Formal Gala Dinner Dance Fundraiser, starting at 7 pm at the Amber Room Colonnade, One Stacey Road.

Proceeds from the gala will benefit the IHS scholarship fund for assistance to incoming students and the capital improvement fund.

During the gala, several awards will be bestowed on individuals who exemplify the values and service which Immaculate High School tries to instill in its students.

“By answering the call of their vocation, each of our recipients have used their God-given gifts to inspire, to lead, and to teach our young people,” says Father Corey Piccinino, the spiritual director at Immaculate High School.

This year, the recipient of the Nancy K. Dolan Leadership Award will be The Most Reverend William E. Lori, Bishop of Bridgeport. Bishop Lori has served the Diocese of Bridgeport since March 2001.

Immaculate High School will be presenting the IHS Lifetime Achievement Award to Isabelle Farrington. Mrs Farrington is a longtime benefactor of Immaculate High School and has been a tremendous supporter of students throughout the Bridgeport Diocese.

The IHS Distinguished Service Award will be presented to Fil Cerminara. Mr Cerminara is a stalwart figure in the greater Danbury community and at IHS. He has served for eight years on the IHS All Sports Club, the last four years as president. He and wife, Nancy, have sent two sons to Immaculate, the second to graduate this coming June; and he was extremely instrumental in the creation and implementation of the IHS Mustang Valley fields project completed last fall.

Tickets for the gala are $150 and available by calling the Immaculate High School Development Office at 744-1510, extension 144. Sponsorship opportunities and program advertisements are also available.
