TThree things combined to make Legacy Night 2022 a remarkable night for our guests:

One, we returned to the stately Sacred Heart Major Seminary, one of the most beautiful buildings in the city. The evening began with Mass celebrated in the glorious Main Chapel.

Two, we continued our new tradition of bringing alumni home to share their stories of determination, success, and gratitude. These grown men - successful now in their lives and their careers - are the legacy of our longstanding donors and their tremendous generosity through the years.

Three, on this special night we revived the tradition of presenting our Magis Award. Magis, a Latin word for “more” or “greater,” reflects the Jesuit motto “Ad Majorem Dei Glorium” or “For the Greater Glory of God.” The Magis Award is presented to the individual who embodies this motto and is an example of serving others.

As the evening unfolded, spirits soared, hearts were warmed, laughter filled the room, and more than a few tears were shed as our Magis Award recipient took the stage. These photos do a superb job of telling the story.

Following Mass, attendees gathered for a cocktail hour before dinner. These four distinguished gentlemen are (from left to right), Loyola supporter and former Board Member Mike Madison, President Dave Smith, supporter Marty McMillan, and current Board Member Hon. Michael Riordan.

Roberta Miller, Loyola’s manager of finance and receivables (left), and her husband, Todd (center), had the pleasure of meeting and chatting with Board Member Michael Tyson (right) before the alumni panel got underway.

This happy trio has been extremely supportive of Loyola through the years. From left to right are former Board Member Mark Van Faussien, Tricia Van Faussien, and former Board Member Mike Nolan.
