All College
Week two of 51ÁÔĆć’s new academic year concluded with the annual All-College Barbeque on both the East and West Coasts. On Saturday afternoon, students, staff, and faculty gathered to enjoy games, a delicious dinner, and excellent company, celebrating the approaching end of summer and the return of classes.
At its 2025 Convocation exercises on Saturday and Monday, 51ÁÔĆć formally welcomed 155 new freshmen to its ranks, thus opening its 55th academic year. Between the California and New England campuses, the newest students hail from over 30 states and 7 countries, including Brazil, Scotland, Canada, Mexico, Ireland, and Lithuania.
Jane (Forsyth ’11) Pallares always envisioned a scholarly life, perhaps as a college professor.
Andrea (Sassman ’96) Loop’s journey from a questioning evangelical to a faithful Catholic began at 51ÁÔĆć, where she found not only the truth of the Church but also a unique, loving community.
At last, we can show you the highly anticipated slideshow videos that students so enjoyed on 51ÁÔĆć’s 2025 High School Summer Programs!
