Parents of Alumni Reconnect at Annual Reception

Parents of Alumni Reconnect at Annual Reception

Parents of Arrows alumni returned to St. Sebastian’s on Thursday, April 23, for the annual Parent of Alumni Reception in Martin Hall. A wide range of class years was represented—from the 1990s to the newest members of the Parent of Alumni community, the Class of 2025.

Fr. John Arens greeted many guests at the door as they arrived and opened the program with a blessing. Head of School Brendan Sullivan then offered remarks, sharing highlights from the School’s successful admission cycle and presenting photos of recent campus enhancements. Included was the Captains Wall in Arrows Hall, Class of 2025 Entrance Wall, the newly named Elcock Art Center, and the Garden of St. Irene, located on the Center’s renovated terrace. He also shared a preview of the New East Campus project, which will feature a new student center, and concluded with highlights from Fr. Arens’ recent 80th birthday celebration, including a video created in his honor.

The evening brought parents together to reconnect and reflect on their sons’ time at St. Sebastian’s.
