To make this site more revelant ot the Cretin Crowd. I have put more info on the luncheons page. I hope to continue to keep these pages more current. Comments appreciated (but will not necessarly be implemted) Send them to me. See last link in the menus. I have also added information about the 60th reunion below.
The class of '57 proudly announces the
schedule of events for our 60th reunion.
The all school alumni annual
dinner is scheduled for Thursday evening, September 14, 2017, in the school
gymnasium. Cretin will be sending
out notices and registration information early to mid August. Our class, along with our
wives/significant others, will have a special meeting room where we will
congregate for a social, and then
be introduced and ushered to our special tables located in the front of the
room. A major piece of the evening
presentation will be one of our classmates being called to the podium to
announce our 60th class gift, which currently exceeds $100,000 dollars, and is
dedicated for a brand new school fund initiated by our class. (More details at
the end of this statement).
Our class of '57 along with
wives/significant others, will gather again at the school beginning at 4:00PM
on Friday, September 15, 2017. Several Cretin students will be available to take small groups on a tour
of our facilities and grounds. Mass
is scheduled to begin at 5:00PM, and our celebrant will be our fellow classmate
Rev. Bryan O'Rourke. Then we will
enjoy a social hour with a cash bar, and a delicious catered dinner of
"surf and turf".
The formal announcement for our special get
together on Friday September 15th was mailed to all classmates on Thursday,
July 13, 2017. It included a
registration form and envelope along with instructions on how you may register
on-line.

ALSO, WE WANT AS
MANY OF OUR CLASSMATES AS POSSIBLE TO ATTEND.

CLASSMATES, ALONG WITH THEIR WIVES AND SIGNIFICANT OTHERS, TO ATTEND, AND
REALLY LOOK FORWARD TO THE SCHEDULED EVENTS OF BOTH NIGHTS. WE ARE HOPEFUL EACH OF YOU WILL STRONGLY
CONSIDER JOINING US ON THESE MONENTUS GATHERINGS!!!!
SIGNUM FIDEI
FUND
Our class of '57 has established our 60th Anniversary Class Gift in
honor of Brother Kevin and Cretin has applied the name of "SIGNUM FIDEI
FUND".
We have
commitments from our class for over $100,000 to date, and are hopeful that all
of our classmates will strongly consider joining the early contributors in an
effort to maximize our total gift, which will be announced by one of the class
of '57 at the all alumni banquet on September 14, 2017.
Every year a few
Cretin students find themselves with unforeseen family financial hardships, and
our SIGNUM FIDEI FUND will be used by the President of CDH to assist when a family finds themselves suddenly
unable to fulfill a tuition commitment for their son or daughter. These financial hardships may be the
result of a parents' death, disease, or temporary unemployment, and use of our
SIGNUM FIDEI FUND will be left totally to the discression of the CDH President.
Acceptance
of the class of '57 fund creation has been favorably assessed by some classes
immediately following us and we believe at least some of them will continue to
support the SIGNUM FIDEI FUND!! And
the faculty of Cretin are thrilled with this fund creation which your class has
started.
