Walk for St. Aloysius May 9, 2008
St. Aloysius students, parents, faculty, and staff will be walking on Friday, May 9th to raise funds for the Fr. Vincent Schweizer Scholarship and the St. Aloysius Financial Assistance Fund.

All American Country Picnic
Save the dates!! The St. Aloysius 2008 Picnic will be June 20 and 21. This year we are looking for a parishioner to take over the Chair of the Gaming. Thanks so much to Jim Tedesco for his past experience and willingness to do this for us--it has always been a tremendous success and a key aspect to the success of our Picnic! Now it is time for someone else to take over the reigns. If you are that special person interested in taking over, or have any questions, please contact Jim Kramer at 243-0467 or jkramer@kramerconsulting.com. As always, sign ups will be coming, as we get closer to the dates--so keep June 20 and 21 open for a weekend of fun and fellowship! |

St. Aloysius, Pewee Valley Catholic School Reunion set for 2008 Picnic
Did you go to St. Aloysius in Pewee Valley? For one year or for nine it does not matter. We invite you to come back home for the Picnic this summer for an all class reunion on June 21, 2008. The reunion is not just for the students though. We want all the parents and teachers there as well. In organizing this endeavor, however, we need your help in tracking everyone down. If you are a former student, parent or teacher please call or email Jim Meyers at 502-777-4924 and jim.meyers@insightbb.com and provide your name, email address, home address, phone number and year you (or your child/children) graduated from 8th grade (even if you/they didn’t eventually graduate St. Aloysius but rather another school). Chances are if you are a former student, parent or teacher you still know at least one other person who fits these categories as well so please send your information to us as soon as you can to ensure a good turnout. |
