PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Dear Gonzaga Football Fans,
Each year the football season helps kick off our academic year; a hope-filled year of growth in grace, age, and wisdom through a variety of anticipated and surprising victories. I extend a warm welcome to all for today’s Senior Day game. In addition, I offer a special word of welcome to our tremendous and beloved Alumni who are back on Eye Street to celebrate their Class Reunions.
On behalf of our Headmaster, Mr. Tom Every, our Athletic Director Mr. Terry Kernan ‘08, and everyone on Eye Street, I express to all of those participating in Gonzaga’s football program this year my earnest wish for continued success as we approach the culmination of the season! Please know your hard work and dedication are both respected and greatly appreciated.
I hold special gratitude for the families who do so much to help make Gonzaga the extraordinary school community we all know and deeply value. In addition, I am grateful to the coaches who instruct, encourage, and guide our fine young men.
Finally, I continue to pray that the spirit of St. Aloysius Gonzaga may inspire each-and-every student-athlete to do his best, to give his best, both on and off of the field, this fall and throughout the year. Gonzaga Hail! And, Go Eagles!
Sincerely, with every best wish,
Fr. Joseph E. Lingan, SJ ‘75 President
