Class Reunions

Classes typically hold reunions every 5 or 10 years. Contact [email protected] to learn more about upcoming reunions or planning a reunion for your class.

Classes typically make a Class Gift to a named fund, scholarship, or simply as a gift of cash to Valley Catholic. The Alumni Relations Manager can help you determine the best way to allocate a gift from your class reunion to Valley Catholic.

Check out the Reunion Organizer Overview for more info. 

The class of 1973 gathered at the home of Meg (Dever) Mertens to celebrate their 50th reunion on Sept. 9, 2023. Patricia Mann, Debbie Wangler, and Patti Janego toured the SSMO campus earlier that day. 

Meg’s sister Rita is a chef and catered the event. Elizabeth Whalon made a quilt that was raffled as a door prize that was won by Theresa Peterson Ast.

The following day a few members of the class went to Mass with the Sisters and spent some time with Sr. Juliana Monti, Sr. John Therese Miller, Sr. Catherine Hertel and Marcella Parrish.
