An Evening for Ursuline - Celebrating 75 Years

We were thrilled to host our annual gala, “An Evening for Ursuline - Celebrating 75 Years,” on Friday, November 18, 2022. All proceeds supported the scholarship program at Ursuline  to provide both need and merit-based financial assistance to deserving young women. At the gala, we were pleased to present the Spirit of St. Angela Award to alumnae who are committed to the Ursuline tradition of Serviam. We honor alumnae whose life and work demonstrate a strong integration of the Ursuline mission with the courage, kindness, and humility of Saint Angela.

Thank you to all who supported Ursuline's Got Talent on December 12, 2021!
We are grateful to our sponsors, donors, viewers, and of course, our talented student contributors!  We are also thankful for our parent volunteers who helped deliver packages to our sponsors on the morning of the event.  This amazing community effort brought in more than $100,000 for Ursuline Academy.  Thank you to our host Caitlin Burchill '08, and alumnae commentators Shannon Dwyer Connery '04, Lilly Higgins '16, and Maura McCarthy Polles '86.

2018 Brescia Ball
Saturday, November 3, 2018

Denim and Diamonds
Celebrating Strong Young Women
with Hearts that Shine!

Honorees: Ursuline's students - the diamonds in our midst!

For the first time in its twelve-year history, the Brescia Ball was held on the Ursuline campus in the Reynolds Family Athletic & Convocation Center.  The theme of Denim and Diamonds lent itself to a more casual yet elegant atmosphere than past Brescia Balls, and placed the spotlight squarely on Ursuline students, who sparkled as they provided vocal entertainment for the guests, and whose educational experience benefited from the proceeds earned.

Guests enjoyed cocktails on the track overlooking the gym floor, which had been transformed into a western-style cafe with a bluegrass band and casual seating including high tops and couches to relax on.  A variety of food stations provided dinner choices to please everyone.  From parents of current students to recent and not-so-recent alumnae, guests agreed that the set-up lent to a more fun and festive atmosphere than a traditional sit-down dinner.

A special thank you to the hard work of the committee members - Julie Steinkrauss, Kitty McDonald, Elizabeth King, Tracey Finch, and Sandra Giordano - as well as all of our sponsors, auction item donors, and volunteers.  Without them, this event would not happen!

Saturday, November 4, 2017 at the Lantana, Randolph MA

2017 Honorees:
Suzanne & Robert Lawler P'11 '15 
Sue and William Lawler P'13 '15 '16

Thank you to all of the parents, students, faculty, staff and community partners who helped make the 10th Annual Brescia Ball such a success. With a full house at the Lantana in Randolph, guests were treated to a reception, silent auction, dinner, and a magic show by the amazing Matt Roberts. The Ursuline Choral Group charmed the crowd and our many other student volunteers represented UA with grace and cheer. Shannon Lawler '15, as guest speaker, proudly recognized the night's honorees, her parents, Bob and Suzanne Lawler, and her aunt and uncle, Bill and Sue Lawler.

A special note of gratitude goes to our parent committee leaders Tracey Finch, Sandra Giordano, Kate Gormley, Elizabeth King, Kathleen McDonald, Julie Steinkrauss and Stephanie Waldeck.

Your contributions, combined with funds raised from sponsorships, ticket sales and item purchases helped us to raise over $125,000.

See what a little magic can make possible!

LIGHT UP THE NIGHT

2016 BRESCIA BALL: SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 5

Chairperson: Mary Keough P'16 '19
Event Coordinator: Tracey Finch P'19

Brescia Ball 2016, held at The Lantana in Randolph, honored Patricia Leary Dowling '52 and Mary Jo Gorman Keaney '82.

Patricia Leary Dowling '52 attended Ursuline when the school was still on Arlington Street in Boston, overlooking the Public Garden, and was in one of the first graduating classes of the Academy. She grew up in Milton, where her parents ran a dress shop, which may help explain why, to this day, Pat is always impeccably dressed. While at Ursuline, Pat received a blue ribbon at the end of every year for living and breathing Serviam. She graduated from Boston College, where she earned her teaching certificate. All these many years

later, Pat remains a loyal annual donor and supporter, serving on the campaign planning committee and the campaign cabinet. Then as now, she is the very model of Serviam.

Mary Jo Gorman Keaney '82 has devoted her life to education, and has the unique distinction of having served as the first lay principal of Ursuline Academy, from 2009 to 2015. Mary Jo received her degrees from Bowdoin College and Harvard Graduate School of Education. She taught and served in administrative roles at Newton Country Day School of the Sacred Heart, Harvard University, and St. Peter School in Cambridge, where she served as principal for four years. Mary Jo recalls that it was Sr. Ursula who introduced her to Latin at Ursuline, and also credits Sr. Dorothy Doyle (Latin) and Sr. Mercedes (Spanish) for nurturing her love of language. Her devotion to and support of Ursuline Academy has been unwavering in all her years as student, alumna, and administrator, and remains strong today.

Be Smart. Be Strong. Be Spirited.
 

Honoree David Putnam P'89

Honoree Richard Osterberg

Saturday, November 15 - Blue Hill Country Club, Canton, MA

The 2015 Brescia Ball was once again a great success thanks to our dedicated and generous Ursuline community. The event hosted 310 people, including parents, alumnae, trustees, Ursuline Sisters, past parents, grandparents, faculty, staff and students who gathered to celebrate the legacy of St. Angela Merici, founder of the Order of St. Ursula. It was record-breaking event, realizing over $134,000 for the students of the Academy.

Honorees
The 2015 Brescia Ball honorees were David Putnam P ‘89 and Richard Osterberg, two former Trustees who have supported the mission of the Academy for many years. Mr. Putnam is the former President of F.L. Putnam Investments and the parent of two daughters from the Class of 1989. He is the past Chair of the Board of Trustees and served on the Board for 14 years. Mr. Osterberg is an attorney and member of Weston Patrick, P.A. He is the former Vice Chair of the Board of Trustees and former Chair of the Finance and Investment Committee. As friends and Trustees, Mr. Putnam and Mr. Osterberg are credited with leading Ursuline through expansive growth and dynamic change.

"The Ursuline Academy Awards"

Saturday, November 23 - Lake Pearl Luciano's, Wrentham, MA

Dear Ursuline Community,

It is with deepest gratitude that I share this very good news with you: the 6th annual Brescia Ball, The Academy Awards, raised $110,000 for Ursuline Academy! By surpassing our goal as well as setting a new record, this year's event will allow us to make improvements to update and refresh our beloved Tea Room.

The success would not have been realized without the dedicated leadership demonstrated by our two Co-chairs, Angela Canale P '17 & '19 and Nancy McAdams P '15. I thank them along with the many other volunteers and supporters who worked tirelessly to make the night a spectacular celebration of the mission of Ursuline Academy. The sense of community was demonstrated in so many ways: the students who assisted, the parents whose presence made the evening so special and the bidding so much fun, those who purchased raffle tickets but could not attend, the faculty and staff, as well as the Ursuline Sisters whose footsteps we follow as we continue the mission of St. Angela. We are blessed indeed to have so many who understand, embrace and live the motto Serviam each and every day.

Thank you so much for all that you do for this vibrant community. Without your continuous support, none of this would have been possible.

Gratefully,

Rosann Whiting
President
