Goretti Gaela
To Our Goretti Community,
We write this note to notify you that our annual Goretti Gaela, scheduled for October 26th, has been postponed until Spring of 2024.
After careful consideration, we feel that this is a better time to hold the event and allow for more of our Goretti family and community to participate. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience or disruption to your plans.
We are very excited about holding our Gaela at the Gael Center this year and are planning a date for late Spring. We will keep you informed of any developments and look forward to celebrating with you in the near future.
Purchased tickets and/or sponsorships committed for this year’s 2023-2024 Gaela will remain valid for the rescheduled date.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support of St. Maria Goretti Regional Catholic High School.
Sincerely,
Dr. Joseph Padasak
President

The theme of this year's event is 'Goretti Through the Years.' It will be like none other, as we pay homage to Goretti, with an ode to the past. As you walk into the Gael Center we'll begin in the year 1954, when ground was broken on the original St. Maria Goretti High School building. When you travel through the Gael Center, you'll see photos and relics throughout the years, all leading to where we are today.
Our event will include a social hour that begins at 5:30 pm, a formal dinner catered by Nick's Airport Inn, all followed by our annual awards recognizing our supporters, partners, staff & faculty, as well as a recognition of our 25th and 50th graduation reunions.
Schedule of Events:
5:30 pm - Registration and Reception
6:45 pm - Seated Dinner
7:30 pm - Remarks and Awards
Registration Information Coming Soon!
