Festa del Leone, translated “feast of the lion,” is the school’s premier fundraising event, rich with traditions 24 years in the making. The night featured a signature dinner catered by Brandeis Catering; live and silent auctions; and a raffle drawing with three Microsoft Surface prizes. The highlight of the evening was the presentation of the Pope John XXIII Award to Kate and Leonard Sommer. Leonard is a Rummel* alumnus (Class of 1972). Over the years, Leonard has served on several committees at Roncalli Catholic including: Board of Education, Development Board, Finance Committee, Alumni Committee, Phone-A-Thon Committee and the Swing with Pride Committee. The Pope John XXIII Award, named after Angelo Guiseppe Roncalli, is bestowed upon those individuals who exhibit extraordinary devotion and commitment to Roncalli Catholic and “serving the children and friends of God.”
