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.  Kate graduated from Mercy High School in 1974. She has served on several non-profit boards and has been recognized for her community service efforts with various awards, including the Governor’s Point of Light Award, First Lady’s Outstanding Community Service Award and the United Way Leota G. Norton Community Service Award.  Kate has 25 years of teaching experience in secondary high school education, most recently at Duchesne Academy of the Sacred Heart. The Sommers also served as honorary co-chairs for the 2012 Festa del Leone. 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.”  RCHS President Jeff Dempsey and President Emeritus Father Lloyd Gnirk presented the award following a solo performance of “You Raise Me Up” by Brother Armand Alcazar, a De LaSalle Christian Brother and former RCHS teacher. The Madonna School students also raised $700 at the event selling the Madonna Coffee they produce in collaboration with Roncalli Catholic students as a community service project.  LaRue Coffee beans are used for the production of their Madonna School branded coffee.  LaRue Coffee was also the official coffee of Festa del Leone, with donated coffees featured in both the silent auction and with the evening meal. Festa del Leone event chairs were Janet and Mark Bowers; event co-chairs were Kristy and Gus Gustafson, who will serve as chairs for the 25th Annual Festa del Leone in 2014. Dave Webber served as the Master of Ceremonies for the festivities and Brother Armand gave the invocation.  The evening menu featured Casablanca salad, sliced beef tenderloin with red wine reduction and chicken basiline drizzled with sauce veloute, fresh steamed green beans and rosemary and garlic roasted baby red potatoes. The meal was finished with a dessert mini trio of a mini cream puff filled with hazelnut mousse, a chocolate cup with amaretto cream and a lemon tart. Major corporate sponsors for the event included Alegent Creighton Health - Immanuel Medical Center and Parking Area Maintenance (Leonard Sommer, Rummel 1972). Save the date for the 2014 event when we celebrate 25 years of Festa del Leone.  This landmark event will be held on Saturday, April 12, 2014.   kberger Tue, 23 Apr 2013 19:09:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:120 http://www.roncallicatholic.org/Home/tabid/36/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/119/Save-the-Date-Swing-With-Pride-set-for-August-5-2013.aspx#Comments 0 http://www.roncallicatholic.org/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=36&ModuleID=2228&ArticleID=119 http://www.roncallicatholic.org/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=119&PortalID=0&TabID=36 http://www.roncallicatholic.org/Home/tabid/36/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/119/Save-the-Date-Swing-With-Pride-set-for-August-5-2013.aspx Mark your calendar for Roncalli Catholic’s 24th Annual A.
