Un Beau Chemin de Fer

May 10, 2017

Whether you were a first-time guest or a loyal auction attendee, our 2017 Chemin de Fer was a special event! Approximately 425 guests enjoyed all that Chemin has to offer: exciting auction prizes, lively bidding, delicious dinner and drinks, and catching up with ASH friends. Most memorable of all was the presence of nearly two dozen Religious of the Sacred Heart, who served as Honorary Chairs and whose attendance brought so many longtime friends to this largest Academy fundraiser of the year. Special thanks to Auction Chairs Elizabeth Grygo and David Smith and Co-Chairs Rick and Megan Kahn Lee, who oversaw every detail and who guided this Chemin train to a successful conclusion. Until next time, au revoir!    [Most photos shown courtesy of Steven’s Photography]

Thank You

In a week such as this, when I see volunteers spending hours upon hours at the Academy, I become speechless. Thank you does not quite capture the depth of my gratitude, but, it is all I have. THANK YOU!

Pilgrims Journey to the Shrine of Philippine

April 24, 2017

On Sunday, April 23, a philosopher (age 80), a theologian (76), and a pilgrim (53) began walking from Mound City, Kansas, to St. Charles, in honor of St. Rose Philippine Duchesne. They are taking a spiritual and historical journey by foot, connecting the area where St. Philippine prayed with the Potawatomi near Mound City to her first school and resting place at the Academy. We look forward to following their progress here, and welcoming them on their (anticipated) final day, May 18.
