Family Weekend: Please join us!

Family Weekend is a St. Kate’s tradition filled with activities for the entire family. Each year's weekend promises to be exciting and entertaining. Save the date: Oct. 12-14, 2012.

Here are some highlights of the weekend:
Friday, October 12: The fun begins with a reception in The O'Shaughnessy. Enjoy refreshments while socializing with students, families and "The Reflective Woman" (TRW) instructors before The Second City Performance at 7:30 p.m. This improv-based comedy production company has launched the careers of nationally known comedians Tina Fey, Steve Carrell, Stephen Colbert, John Belushi and John Candy. Be ready for a great time!

Saturday, October 13: The Parent and Family Association (PAFA) together with St. Kate's Money Management program will sponsor speaker Charlie Bolognino, a Certified Financial Counselor who will present "It's a Jungle Out There: Financial Survival Skills for Life (and after) College." Charlie has a message that's important for both students and family members. The program will take place from 10 to 11:30 a.m. and will allow plenty of time for questions. This is the first of three PAFA speaker events.

A picnic and pumpkin-painting contest will follow at 11:30 a.m. and will be fun for all family members, especially younger siblings.

The Wildcats Soccer Team will be competing against St. Mary's University at 1 p.m. on the athletic fields. Come to cheer on our amazing team! Additional activities include an architecture tour and movie night.

Sunday, Oct 14
: Families are welcome to attend Mass at 10:30 a.m. in Our Lady of Victory Chapel followed by bunch and music from the St. Catherine Women's Choir.

We're eager to share this wonderful weekend of events with parents and all family members. Some events require tickets. A postcard mailing went out to all families with more details; please contact the Student Center and Activities office with any questions, 651.690.6210.
