Alumni and Friends Golf Tournament
The Alumni and Friends Golf Tournament brings alumni from various graduation years together. After a day on the golf course, golfers and friends head over for dinner and drinks and are encouraged to bid on our silent auction items. The proceeds raised from the silent auction will be donated to the Blessed Edmund Rice Financial Assitance Fund.
Homecoming
Homecoming begins with a reunion breakfast and a campus tour before the game. The homecoming game is one of our favourite community-building events where friends, families, students and alumni come together to cheer on our varsity team!
