On November 6th, Cardinal Newman High School held our Annual Mass of Remembrance, a heartfelt celebration honoring our deceased alumni, faculty/staff members, and special Crusader Angels who have gone before us. This year’s Mass was significant as it was the first to be held in the beautiful Rendina Family Chapel, offering an intimate and reflective setting for our community to gather in remembrance.
The Mass was made even more special with Father James Elliott O’Neal ’64 serving as Celebrant, guiding attendees in prayer and reflection. The music, led by Madison Marie McIntosh, daughter of David McIntosh ’64, and accompanied by the talented Dr. Robert Sharon, added a moving and inspiring layer to the service, touching the hearts of all who attended.
Families, alumni, and friends gathered to honor the lives of those who have shaped our Newman community, sharing memories, prayers, and gratitude for their enduring impact. The ceremony served as a poignant reminder that while our loved ones may no longer walk beside us—some leaving us far too soon—their legacy and the lessons they imparted continue to inspire and guide the next generation of Crusaders.
We are deeply grateful to everyone who attended and helped make this Mass a beautiful tribute to those we hold dear. It is a cherished tradition that allows the Newman family to pause, reflect, and celebrate the lives of those who have left a lasting mark on our hearts.
