On October 30, NDPMA head of school Fr. Leon Olszamowski and Notre Dame Prep senior Gwen Keller presented their thoughts on Notre Dame, its mission, its academics, the International Baccalaureate program—and life—to members of the St. Peter Chanel Society at its annual dinner.
This year, more than 120 members of the Society attended the dinner, which was held at the San Marino Club in Troy.
St. Peter Chanel Society members are recognized every year for their support of NDPMA and for exceptional enthusiasm for the school’s role in private, Catholic education.
Olszamowski and Keller's speeches are available below. Notre Dame Vice President Andy Guest's introductory remarks also included below.
