38th Annual Auction – February 18, 2017
2 38th Annual Auction
Dear Friends of Mercy,
I am pleased to welcome you to Mercy High School’s 38th Annual Auction, our premiere fund-raising event of the year! Thank you for being part of this memorable evening. Your generosity allows us to continue to provide an excellent Catholic college preparatory education for young women.
Tonight is the culmination of months of planning by Mercy Auction Coordinator, Olivia Hanna, the Auction Co-Chairs Heather & Ronni Boji; Kerry & Mark Kurowski; Juliana & George Lenyo; and Sharon Sanderson.
Special recognition to two people who are the mainstays of our auctions - Steve Garagiola, News Anchor and gracious Master of Ceremonies; and Joseph DuMouchelle, renowned art gallery, antique dealer, and skilled Auctioneer. On behalf of Mercy, I thank you for contributing your time and talent to this important evening.
Our Auction gift gathering parties were such a success and I had the pleasure of meeting so many parents and reconnecting with past parents. Many thanks to everyone for your kind donations! We have many new and exciting items in both the silent and live auctions. I hope you will bid with heart throughout the evening.
Thank you for making a difference for current students and future Mercy girls. Blessings to all of you and I hope you have a wonderful time tonight.
In Mercy,

Orchard Lake St. Mary’s Preparatory We redefine college prep
St. Mary’s Preparatory is a Catholic, all-boys, college preparatory high school with a Polish-American heritage and legacy since 1885 A.D. We exist to provide deserving young men the moral guidance, discipline, and education to become Christ-like models of service and leadership for the world.
We are St. Mary’s, where we redefine what it means to be a college preparatory. We exist because each student brings something different to our culture. We are a community that thrives upon celebrating differences and encouraging potential. Join us, and let us help you be the best version of you.
