In an effort to multiply the fun and keep costs to a minimum, all four of these class reunions will be held at MCHS on Friday, September 5, 2008. The Marian Catholic Spartans play the Bloom Township Blazing Trojans starting at 6:00 p.m. After the game (or from 7:30-11:30 p.m.) the classes of ’68, ’73, ’78 and ’88 are invited to the MCHS Leadership Center for a casual evening of reunion fun, music and memories. Heavy hors d’oeuvres along with beer, wine and soft drinks are included in the ticket price of $25.00 per person. A cash bar will also be available for other adult drinks. A reunion planning meeting is scheduled for April 22 at 7:00 p.m. in the Leadership Center for the classes of 1968, 1973, 1978 and 1988. Bring a friend and join in the fun!

We’re inviting members of the faculty and staff to join in as well.

Class pictures will be taken and will be available for purchase that evening. A professional photographer will take other candid and small group photos throughout the evening, and the pictures will be made available via the website or by mail afterward.

On Saturday, September 6, 2008 everyone is welcome to join in the official kick-off to Marian Catholic’s 50th Anniversary Celebration by attending Marian Family Day on campus. Later, a special Mass with Cardinal George will take place at 5:00 p.m. More detailed information on this event will be posted when it becomes available.

Watch your mail for the reunion invitation to arrive over the summer or check the Alumni website for more updates. Call your classmates and plan to get together for a fantastic Marian reunion. Surveys show that most of us would like to get reacquainted with our schoolmates, for ‘old times sake’ and to relive memories.
