We do love our alma mater!

Steve Dise, 1978 St. Mary Cathedral graduate, asked his grandkids if he could play with their LEGO's as long as he promised to put them away when done.

He explained he didn't have enough windows so debated using white block or leaving windows open.  Some pictures he attempted to create a background.

He posted it on the Facebook group, Friends Who Like Saginaw St. Mary's Cathedral Alumni. It just filled me with joy and thought you would enjoy the pictures. Thanks Steve for permission to post.

PTA Founders Day Banquet - 1968

Exciting Update!

Anthony Grunwell (In YouTube as Anthony Runwell) found a cassette tape at a thrift shop in Bay City.  It was just after Fr. Leo Lynch and Fr. Aloysius Lacki formed the group, New Image.  They played at the Centennial Celebration at St. Mary Cathedral's Founder's Day Celebration. Anthony spent considerable time digitizing it and putting all 19 tracks on YouTube.  Thank you so much for sharing this with us, Anthony!

Enjoy

Menu - Buffet Style - Baked Ham, Escalloped Potatoes, Potato Salad, Green Beans, Tossed Salad, Rolls and Butter, Cake, Coffee

A Centennial Year gives pause to thing of "time" and what it is all about...
With this in mind, we quote from "What Makes People Successful" ...

Take Time

Take time to think ...
it is the source of power.
Take time to play ...
it is the secret of perpetual growth.
Take time to read ...
it is the fountain of wisdom.
Take time to pray ...
it is the greatest power on earth.
Take time to love and be loved ...
it is a God-given privilege.
Take time to be friendly ...
it is the road to happiness.
Take time to laugh ...
it is the music of the soul.
Take time to give ...
it is too short a day to be selfish.
Take time to work ...
it is the price of success.

*****************************************
Happy New Year fellow Red Raiders!

I hope you all are doing well.  I am working on our All-Class Reunion which is planned for August 11, 2018.  I just got off the phone with Horizons Conference Center and this years event will take place there once again.

My wife Molly ('82) and I are now in the process of updating the list from the 2014 Reunion and are looking for any additions/subtractions or updated information for our list.  The easiest way would be to email anything that you have to me at:

dandrews1024@att.net

We are also looking for some volunteers for mailings, contact information, etc.  So if you are willing to help, please email us as well or with any questions that you may have.

August will be here before we know it, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

RAIDERS FOR LIFE!!!
