Fall 2005 - St. Charles Preparatory School

Mothers Club at Work
“A Cardinal Christmas” gala
offered segments of St. Charles
history
The annual “A Cardinal Christmas,” gala
was celebrated at the Clarion Hotel on
December 3. The St. Charles Mothers Club
event, was organized by chairwomen
Kathleen Cavello and Andrea Mackessy.
Proceeds this year will be used to
purchase furnishings for the St. Charles
Student Services & Fine Arts Center now
under construction on the campus. Last
year’s event raised more than $63,000, a
record, for technology upgrades and capital
improvements.
This year’s event offered a unique
opportunity to buy pieces of St. Charles
history. Items included many of the 80-
year-old school building’s original wooden
doors, among them the original exterior
doors facing Broad Street. Also for sale
were more than 20 church pews from the
upper chapel, (former Holy Angels Chapel)
two glass arches that were above the north
courtyard’s exterior doors, and other items.
Bobbleheads of Cavello &
Msgr. Bennett
Taking advantage of the popularity of
bobblehead figures, the St. Charles Mothers
Club and the St. Charles bands will commemorate
two St. Charles personalities —
beloved faculty member Msgr. Thomas
Bennett and principal Dominic J. Cavello
— with their own ‘action’ figures. And just
in time for Christmas!
With proceeds going to the school’s
band program and the Msgr. Thomas H.
Bennett Scholarship Fund, this is a good
way to support two great causes while
having a little fun at the expense of two St.
Charles icons.
An order form can be found here in this
issue of the Cardinal magazine or by
