The 2021 all-class reunion has been canceled.
The St. Joseph Seminary reunion committee conducted a zoom call on August 16 to consider the surge in Covid-19 cases and decided to wait and see if the Covid spike would diminish by the time of the next full Zoom meeting on August 30.
The August 30 Zoom session can be viewed on YouTube at https://bit.ly/3yBvX5Y. The reunion discussion begins at 16 minutes into the recording.
Committee chair Frank Marfia noted that unfortunately Covid -19 cases continue to be rising and the risk of infection even for fully vaccinated persons is great. The group decided by consensus (no official vote was taken) to cancel the September 23 reunion event and postpone any future reunion until the spring of 2022 at the earliest.
The reunion committee has compiled a database of approximately 50 alumni – out of a total of 165 on the full alumni mailing list – who had planned to attend. This list will be helpful in moving forward with an event in the future and can be shared with others who may want to contact former St. Joe students. (If you’d like a copy of the database, drop a note to stjoememories@gmai.com).
