Dear Friends in Christ, Welcome to the 2026 St. Benedict Gala, A Night in the Emerald City! What a joy it is to gather this evening in such a spirit of celebration, generosity, and hope. I am deeply grateful for your presence and for the many ways you support the mission of St. Benedict Parish and Preparatory School. Tonight is more than a beautiful evening or a festive escape; it is an opportunity to do real and lasting good. Your generosity helps us form young minds, nurture hearts in the faith, and build a community rooted in Christ. Because of you, our parish and school continue to be a place where lives are changed, vocations are nurtured, and the Gospel is proclaimed with joy. I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to our sponsors, whose generosity and leadership make this evening possible. I am equally grateful to our Gala Committee and to all who have worked tirelessly behind the scenes to bring this night to life. Your dedication, creativity, and love for this community are evident in every detail. As we step into the “Emerald City” together, we are reminded that the journey of faith is not unlike the journey down the yellow brick road, one that calls for courage, heart, and wisdom. Yet we know that our true destination is not found in any earthly city, but in the Kingdom of God. It is Christ who leads us, strengthens us, and unites us as one family. May this evening be filled with joy, laughter, and a renewed sense of purpose. May it also deepen our awareness that everything we do here at St. Benedict is ultimately about the salvation of souls and the glory of God. Thank you again for being here, for your generosity, and for your witness of faith. Let us continue forward together, with great hope, great joy, and a shared desire for holiness. Let’s become great saints together! In Christ’s Sacred Heart,

Fr. Robert Ryan Pastor


With love and appreciation for this wonderful community!! The MacGuidwin Family Proud Grandparents of Emmy & Ellie Dasher and Nell and Mac Gallagher


Dear Esteemed 2026 Gala Guests, Welcome to A Night in the Emerald City! We are delighted to have you join us for this year’s St. Benedict Preparatory School Gala - a celebration of community, faith, and the shared belief that, with courage, heart, and wisdom, we can do remarkable things for our students. Tonight, as we venture down our own “yellow brick road,” we are reminded that the journey of a St. Ben’s Catholic education is never traveled alone. It is built by the contributions, prayers, and steadfast support of people like you - individuals who believe deeply in the promise and potential of every child who walks through our doors. At St. Benedict Prep, our mission is rooted in forming young people who learn fearlessly, lead responsibly and serve joyfully. Your generosity this evening helps our students discover their strengths, grow in their faith, and become the leaders God calls them to be. Every gift made tonight -big or small - supports the teachers who guide them, the programs that challenge them, and the community that surrounds them with love. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Gala Committee, led by Cassidy Cunningham and Meredith Blake, whose dedication, creativity, and countless hours of preparation have brought this magical evening to life. Their vision has transformed our venue into an Emerald City worthy of celebration, and we are deeply grateful for their leadership. As you enjoy the festivities, may you be reminded that the true magic of tonight does not come from the sparkle around us, but from the hope we create together. Your support lights the path ahead for our students, helping them follow the road toward a bright and faith-filled future. Thank you for your presence, your generosity, and your unwavering belief in our mission. May this evening be a joyful reminder of all we can achieve when we journey together in Christ. With sincere gratitude,

Ms. Rachel Gemo, Head of Parish School


AD or ADS to come


Dear Friends of St. Benedict, It is our great honor to welcome you to the 25th Annual St. Benedict Parish and Preparatory School Gala, A Change for Good: A Night in the Emerald City. As L. Frank Baum once wrote, “There’s no place like home.” Tonight, as we gather together under the glow of the Emerald City, we are reminded that St. Benedict Parish and Preparatory School is exactly that for our children and our community - a place of warmth, growth and belonging. This evening is a celebration of the extraordinary community that makes St. Ben’s so special. Every teacher who takes the time to truly know each child and meet them where they are, every parent who volunteers their time and resources, and every family who believes in the mission of this school—you are the heart and soul of St. Benedict Prep. Tonight, we come together not only to celebrate that spirit, but to invest in its future. As co-chairs, we have had the privilege of working alongside an incredible team of volunteers, sponsors, and administrators who poured their time and love into making this evening possible. Thank you to the fabulous 2026 Gala Committee, and to Father Ryan, Mrs. Gemo, Mr. Accardi, Ms. Tubay and Mrs. Olhava for their support throughout the planning for this evening. From the thoughtfully curated silent auction, the special student experiences designed by our teachers, and the joyful details you’ll discover throughout the room, every element of tonight reflects one simple truth: when this community comes together, extraordinary things happen. The funds raised this evening will go directly toward enriching the programs and resources that help our students thrive—because every child at St. Benedict Prep deserves the chance to discover their own courage, heart, and wisdom. Your generosity, whether through a bid in our silent auction, a contribution to our fund-a-need, or simply your presence here tonight celebrating our community, makes a meaningful difference in the lives of our students. So tonight, we ask you to enjoy the magic of the Emerald City. Raise your paddle, raise a glass, and know that together we are making a Change for Good—for our children, our Parish, and for the community we all call home. With heartfelt gratitude, Meredith Blake and Cassidy Cunningham

St. Benedict Prep In recognition of our parish school’s commitment to make Catholic education affordable to all families, and in celebration of our 124 years of excellence, you will have the opportunity during the Live Auction to raise your paddle and join others in contributing to the Scholarship Fund in support of student financial assistance. Value: PRICELESS

Everyone goes home a winner! 100% Tax Deductible.

This Fund-A-Need Paddle Raise

is a unique element within the live auction. Your donation will fund our budgeted tuition assistance program which assists deserving students and ensures that the inclusive aspect of our mission remains integrated in our educational culture. A portion of the Fund-A-Need this year will also go to facility project completion such as those mentioned below.

Tuition Assistance for SBPS Families in Need

In keeping with our parish school’s deep commitment to making Catholic education accessible to all families, and in celebration of 124 years of academic excellence and faith formation, we invite you during the Live Auction to raise your paddle in support of our Scholarship Fund. Your generosity helps open doors for students and families who desire a faithful, values‑centered education


Fund-a-Need! but need financial assistance to make it possible. Through the compassion and generosity of donors like you, SBPS has been blessed to provide hundreds of students over the past decade with the life‑changing gift of an SBPS education—an investment not only in their future, but in the faith and vitality of our entire community. In addition to providing funds for the SBPS Tuition Assistance program, a portion of this year’s Fund-a-Need will be allocated to a needed facility improvement project: the upgrading of our campus surveillance camera system.

Video Surveillance System Enhancement

The safety of our students is a sacred responsibility. A modern video surveillance system allows us to protect our school community while preserving the nurturing, faith‑filled environment that defines a Catholic elementary education. These systems focus on awareness and prevention—supporting our staff in keeping students safe while allowing children to learn, play, and grow with joy and confidence. Key components of a modern school camera system include: • High‑definition IP cameras for indoor and outdoor spaces • Coverage of entrances and exits, hallways, common areas, parking lots, and playgrounds • Night vision and wide‑angle lenses for clear visibility at all times • Secure video storage This system is not about constant monitoring—it is about stewardship, preparation, and care. By supporting this initiative, you help provide a secure campus where our students can flourish academically and spiritually, and where families can entrust their children to us with confidence and peace of mind.

Please raise your paddle for the kids!


Congratulations 2026 Gala Honorees

Third Annual St. Benedict Community and Stewardship Award

Gene and Rosemary Schulter Each year the St. Benedict community gathers to celebrate the gift of our parish school. It takes dedication and support from hundreds of families to ensure an excellent Catholic education for all students. We are grateful for all our friends who champion St. Benedict Preparatory School. While many people support St. Benedict Prep with their time, talent, and treasure, a few people consistently go above and beyond to support our parish and school. Tonight, we continue the tradition to honor such people as the Schulters. Gene Schulter has been known in Chicago for decades as a city alderman, proudly serving the 47th Ward that encompasses the Lincoln Square, Ravenswood, Northcenter, and Lakeview neighborhoods. But many do not know that his family has been in the parish since 1934. He was first elected in 1975 and, at the age of 26, was the youngest alderman to ever sit on the city council. Transitioning to a career in real estate sales proved a natural move and today, Gene remains actively engaged in municipal planning efforts in nearby suburban communities, continuing his lifelong commitment to thoughtful development and community improvement. Over the course of his 36-year tenure as alderman, Gene brought lasting progress and beautification to communities throughout Chicago. In addition to large-scale projects such as the construction of the beloved Sulzer Library, he played a key role in preserving the Brown Line, helping ensure the continued viability of this critical transit corridor for generations of Chicagoans.


He also helped bring farmers markets to the City of Chicago, supporting local growers and strengthening neighborhood economies, and was instrumental in bringing the Old Town School of Folk Music to the neighborhood, where it now occupies the former Hild Library. Gene spearheaded and supported initiatives such as the city’s Landscape Ordinance, requiring new developments to include landscaping and tree planting, and worked to maintain the character of residential streets through thoughtful zoning. To give relief to the city’s homeowners, he was a leader in convincing the State Assembly to extend the 7% property tax cap. A lifelong Chicagoan, Gene has dedicated himself to helping others live and succeed in this amazing city. He has been a longtime proponent of affordable housing, including developing the nationally recognized Northcenter Senior Campus, which provides over 500 rental and condo units for Chicagoans over the age of 55. Gene and Rosemary’s story is deeply rooted in both family and community. Both are proud products of the Northcenter and Ravenswood neighborhoods, each raised in large families, Gene in a household of five children and Rosemary in a household of nine. They were married at St. Benedict Parish on February 4, 1979, during the chaotic aftermath of the historic Blizzard of ’79, with nearly 29 inches of snow blanketing Chicago. Their connection to St. Ben’s has remained strong across generations. Their daughter, Monica, was married there, and her two children were baptized at the parish, while their son Philip’s son is currently a student at St. Benedict. In 2011, Gene and Rosemary established the Gene & Rosemary Schulter Foundation, which supports the futures of students through scholarships. The foundation has awarded over 100 scholarships since its inception. It also works to support senior citizens through services and education programs, and to strengthen local businesses that fuel Chicago’s economy. Above all, Gene and Rosemary are proud parents and grandparents who deeply value family, community, and the lasting impact of giving back.

The foundation over the years has awarded numerous scholarships to both St. Benedict High School and Grade School graduates.

Ben Roxworthy and Jim Gallagher for supplying the lumber & building the magnificent emeralds. Oscar Machado for bringing the magic—he 3D printed the flying monkeys that made our signature cocktails unforgettable. The list wouldn’t be complete without Joe Accardi who pours his heart into this school every single day and leads this event with care, energy, and purpose each year.


To the Families, Teachers, and Staff of St. Benedict Preparatory School,

Your kindness and dedication have meant more to us than words can fully express. The friendliness of fellow families, the patience and care of teachers, the thoughtful behind-the-scenes work of staff, have lifted, guided, and welcomed us every step of the way. You created a community where Ascher was able to learn, grow, and feel accepted; where every question is met with encouragement and every challenge with support. We are deeply grateful for the time, talent, and heart you shared with our family.

Respectfully,

The Preston/Jahnke Family
