Gesu Gala 2016 honorees: Fr. Thorne and Peter Gould




President Bryan Carter, Robin Potter, Peter Gould, Fr. Stephen Thorne and Principal Sr. Ellen Convey

Father Thorne addresses the Gala about his work with the eighth grade boys of Gesu School.  His theme is always: "walk with the understanding that you have some place important to go."

The annual Gesu Gala on May 5 was a stunning success.   Peter Gould (joined by his wife Robin Potter) and Father Stephen Thorne received  Gesu Spirit medals.   Both gave wonderful, thankful presentations.   Father Thorne showed us the love that he brings each week to a class with the eighth grade boys.   Peter talked about the value of scholarships for young people in need.  He talked of his own mother whose desire for a college education was made possible by someone who was a stranger to her.
