The Board of Trustees at Christian Brothers High School is comprised of 13 volunteers who
are alumni, parents of alumni, friends, educators and professionals dedicated to safeguard-
ing and advancing the school’s Lasallian Catholic college preparatory mission. Before
joining the Board of Trustees, candidates undergo training on Lasallian charism (history,
spirituality and philosophy of education) and Policy Governance – a model used by
Lasallian schools throughout the District of San Francisco New Orleans. In the 2019-20
school year, the board welcomed two new members, Margarita Fernandez and Ron
Metzker. Steve Mahaney ’69 serves in the role of chair and Don Fitzgerald is the vice chair.
The Policy Governance model comprises an inclusive, written set of goals for the
school, called Ends Policies, which guide the board in monitoring the performance of
the school through the President/CEO. Ends Policies help ensure that Christian
Brothers High School adheres to the vision of the Brothers of the Christian Schools and
the District of San Francisco New Orleans.
“Participating in the guidance of Christian Brothers High School has been very reward-
ing and inspiring for me,” says Chair Steve Mahaney ’69. “It is an honor to represent
the Brothers in helping fulfill their Lasallian mission of providing a superior education
to a diverse student body comprised of students from all backgrounds, races and
socio-economic levels. We are blessed to have a welcoming faculty and staff at CB
providing students with a safe and positive environment to learn, grow and blossom.”
“The members of the Board of Trustees donate their time and expertise, and are
dedicated to fulfilling the vision and responsibilities entrusted to us by the Brothers.
The Trustees are committed, talented and intelligent people with diverse backgrounds
all with the same goal of ensuring CB provides an excellent education for our students.
We are mindful of our school’s rich history and we embrace the opportunity to ensure
Christian Brothers High School remains the place to be.”
Message From the President
Spring 2020
Dear Alumni, Families and Friends:
LORCAN P. BARNES, PRESIDENT
When we do return to campus, our students will enjoy CB’s
new athletic facilities including the Peter P. Bollinger ’57
Stadium (see page 3). In February, we celebrated the culmina-
tion of the Securing the Future Campaign – Phase I with the grand
opening and dedication of the facilities. Though our time using
the facilities has been limited, generations of students will
benefit from this incredible endeavor.
Economists and civic leaders by and large are predicting the
economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic will be significant.
CB is financially strong. The school is not burdened by long-
term debt and we have modest reserves. Further, we have
no major deferred maintenance projects. Most importantly,
we have outstanding PEOPLE. In other words, we have been
careful stewards of the resources that have been entrusted
to our care.
Our conscientious stewardship over the years positions us to
ride out this storm. The Annual Report of Gifts (see page 27)
and list of donors reflects gifts received during the July 1, 2018
through June 30, 2019 time period. We are grateful to all the
alumni, families and friends of the school who share of their
resources to ensure that Christian Brothers High School
continues to thrive. Your generosity ensures that we are
positioned to maintain the CB tradition of excellent, value-
centered, Catholic, Lasallian education for generations
to come.
We pray that you all stay well and healthy.
Live Jesus in our hearts!
As I write this letter, campus is shuttered with faculty and staff
working from home as Sacramento and much of Northern
California come to grips with “stay at home” and “shelter in
place” orders. The directives came in just as Christian Brothers
High School had transitioned to Digital Learning Days. Our
teachers have risen to the occasion with creativity, determina-
tion and an inspirational spirit of collaboration. So, while there
is no substitute for the classroom experience and relationships
at the heart of our Lasallian Catholic community, I have no
doubt that quality instruction, personal connection and
learning will continue for as long as is necessary.
One of the distinguishing characteristics of the Lasallian
charism is practical innovation. St. John Baptist de La Salle was
known for looking at current realities and adjusting educational
services to meet the needs of students. He would be proud of
CB’s educators for their heroic work at reinventing Lasallian
Catholic education on very short notice.
We are blessed to have excellent teachers and a robust technol-
ogy program anchored by our iPad program and learning manage-
ment system, Schoology. Augmenting these are a host of online
platforms for meeting, connecting and sharing information. As we
see schools and districts throughout the nation, and in our own
community, struggling to identify ways to navigate and educate in
these uncertain times, we are profoundly grateful to be in a
position of strength. We are grateful for the families who entrust
us with the hearts and minds of their daughters and sons. And, we
are grateful for the generations of alumni, families and friends
whose generosity has allowed us to create and maintain a
phenomenal technology program that facilitates our rigorous
learning program, even in the most challenging of circumstances.
As always, we are anchored by our faith. Each morning, our
Director of Campus Ministry and members of our student
campus ministry team, God Squad, post a prayer to allow us to
begin each day as we do on campus, with a reminder that we are
always in the holy presence of God. This is followed by a “midday
moment” of reflection, mindfulness and gratitude.

Christian Brothers High School Announces New PresidentChristian Brothers High School is pleased to announce the appointment of
Dr. Crystal LeRoy as President, effective July 1, 2020. Dr. LeRoy, who will be the fifth
president in school history, takes over for Lorcan Barnes who announced in July of
2019 that the 2019-20 school year would be his final year of service to the school.
She brings considerable experience as an educator and administrator to the role,
currently serving as Superintendent/Chief School Business Official of Kenilworth
Public Schools in Kenilworth, Illinois and adjunct professor at Northeastern
Illinois University. She holds a bachelor's degree in international relations from
Northwestern University and attained her master's degree in cultural education
and policy studies from Loyola University. She later earned her school business
official certification from Northern Illinois University before earning her doctorate
in educational administration and supervision from Loyola University.
This news is the culmination of a thoughtful and thorough process that began
with the formation of a Presidential Search Committee in September and
securing the services of an executive search firm later in the fall. Following an
extensive nationwide search and in-depth review of applications, 18 candidates
were identified and interviewed. Seven men and women advanced to a more
extensive interview after which three finalists were identified. The three finalists
were invited to meet with members of the community including parents, faculty
and staff members, alumni and other stakeholders. The Board of Trustees then
conducted an extensive interview with the candidates and concluded that
Dr. LeRoy will best serve the community.
“I am deeply honored and profoundly humbled to be invited to serve as President
of Christian Brothers High School,” says Dr. LeRoy. “The opportunity to unite my
Catholic faith with my vocation as an educator is a dream come true. To do so in the
rich and transformative Lasallian charism of the Christian Brothers is a blessing and
a trust that I hold sacred. I so look forward to working with the wonderful faculty,
staff, families, alumni and friends of the school to ensure that CB continues to be
a strong, vibrant and faith-filled community for generations to come.”
“Dr. LeRoy is a faith-filled and visionary leader,” says Board of Trustees President
Steve Mahaney ‘69. “We look forward to partnering with her as she leads the
school in living the tenets of our Lasallian Core Principles – faith in the presence
of God, quality education, inclusive community, respect for all persons, and
concern for the poor and social justice.”
Christian Brothers is looking forward to sharing more information about
Dr. LeRoy in the future.

Christian Brothers celebrates the completion of the
Securing the Future Campaign – Phase I and grand
opening of the Peter P. Bollinger ’57 Stadium.
Christian Brothers’ Securing the Future Campaign – Phase I
focused on raising $11.8 million to construct a synthetic turf field
and all-weather track, grow the school’s endowment for tuition
assistance and improve parking. In strategically planning for the
future, school leaders, in collaboration with community stake-
holders, architects and building professionals, created a bold
15-year campus master plan during the 2013-2014 academic
year. In just three years after the grand opening of the George
Cunningham ’40 Performing Arts Center, President Lorcan
Barnes publicly announced the campaign in the fall of 2017,
sharing the news at the annual Ambassadors’ Club Dinner.
Thanks to the generous gifts and support we have received
through the recent years, we are thrilled to announce that we
crossed the finish line in December 2019 and exceeded our
campaign goal. Alumni, families and friends have committed
an impressive $12.6 million in gifts and pledges.
CB BREAKS GROUND ON OUTDOOR ATHLETIC FACILITIES AND PARKING LOT
In July, earth moving equipment was brought in for site prepara-
tion work. Construction began during the summer as hardworking
crews simultaneously worked on the outdoor athletic facilities and
parking lot, with the ambitious goal of completing the parking lot
by the first day of school on August 14, 2019 – a goal successfully
completed. By the time students arrived on campus, 100 new
parking spots were readily available, ensuring more efficient
traffic flow and greater parking capacity.
Christian Brothers officially broke ground on the new outdoor
athletic facilities and parking lot on June 27, 2019. Excited students,
parents, alumni and stakeholders were in attendance on this
beautiful summer evening. Director of Advancement Nancy
Smith-Fagan and President Lorcan Barnes shared brief speeches
followed by a personal account by Lena Mikacich ’22, describing
her experience as a multi-sport student-athlete at CB playing
tennis and lacrosse, and how this new stadium will allow her, and
students like her, to be the best possible student-athlete they can
be. Securing the Future Campaign – Phase I Chair, Willie Nolan ’69,
spoke about the strong impact of volunteers on this campaign.

GRAND OPENING OF THE PETER P. BOLLINGER ’57 STADIUM!
The Culmination of Securing the Future Campaign – Phase I
In commemoration and gratitude of the completion of the stadium,
the Christian Brothers community gathered to celebrate the
dedication, blessing and grand opening of the Peter P. Bollinger ’57
Stadium on February 27, 2020. The event began with a welcome
from Director of Advancement Nancy Smith-Fagan, followed by a
fantastic drumline performance and parade of student-athletes
proudly displaying their Falcon spirit. The American flag was
raised for the first time by members of the athletic department,
Gloria Barela, Melissa Flowers and Jake Hunley ‘96. Emily
Hancock ’20 performed a beautiful rendition of the national
anthem. Honorary alumnus, Msgr. Al O’Connor, presided over a
beautiful blessing ritual as the sun was setting in the background.
President Lorcan Barnes shared remarks about important
moments throughout the campaign and how the entire project
sustains the Christian Brothers mission well into the future.
“Our mission is to produce graduates who are
spiritually rich, morally courageous and intellectu-
ally distinguished,” says President Barnes.
“Athletics is a means to that end. Athletics engage
students in the life of their school.”
“At CB, athletics is more than just competition,”
states Dale Milton, athletic director. “We place the
emphasis on student-athletes, where academics
come first as sports are part of developing the whole
person. We believe that through sports, we help
young people develop skills that will serve them well
into the future – teamwork, sportsmanship, dedica-
tion, perseverance, and winning and losing gracefully.”
On behalf of the school, CB football players presented Mr.
Bollinger with a signed football commemorating the dedication
of the Peter P. Bollinger ’57 Stadium. “It is always a reflection
when you get older; what did your education do for you?”
reflects Mr. Bollinger. “In my case, it made a major difference in
my outlook for life, my approach to people, and the Christian
ethic. I’ve tried to carry that on for my entire life and I want to
thank Christian Brothers for giving me that opportunity…I love
Christian Brothers dearly.”
Lauren Towne ’20 shared how her student-athlete experience at
CB will help her in the next phase of her life, continuing her soccer
career at Gonzaga University, and expressed her gratitude for Mr.
Bollinger and donors like him for making the new athletic facilities
and improvements possible. Student-athletes then took to the
track and field for a celebration of athletic firsts, including the first
of many kick offs, throws, pitches, passes, and sprints to the finish
line. In celebratory fashion, attendees ended the evening by
enjoying delicious food truck eats on the plaza.
This joyous event marked the culmination of CB’s Securing the
Future Campaign – Phase I and an important project that has been
years in the making. The beautiful state-of-the-art multi-sport
stadium includes a turf field, all-weather six-lane track, stands for
1,200 fans, press box, digital scoreboard and lights. Included are
new and improved dugouts and field surface for softball, batting
cages for baseball, a JV baseball field, discus and shotput rings, a
welcoming entrance and a plaza for community gathering. We are
grateful for our partnership with Jackson Construction, who have
built every facility on the CB campus in the past 25 years.
The education of students extends
beyond the classroom into the
athletic arena. Our student-athletes
will now be able to train and
compete on facilities that match
their God-given gifts and talents.
They will grow personally and
physically in an environment that
challenges them to become the

best person they can be. They will continue to hone their skills
in teamwork, leadership and perseverance. The CB community
will have a greater sense of pride and school spirit.
COMING FULL CIRCLE: PETER P. BOLLINGER ’57
In 1956, a seventeen-year-old student by the name of Peter P.
Bollinger ’57 walked onto the newly opened campus of Bishop
Armstrong High School in Oak Park looking forward to running
track and playing on the brand-new football field. Little did this
“All-City, all-Catholic” student-athlete imagine that in 2020 a
state-of-the-art track and field would bear his name. The alumnus
has come full circle, making a transformative gift to his alma mater
to help fund the construction of the Peter P. Bollinger ’57 Stadium.
Bollinger began his high school education at Christian Brothers at
the 21st and Broadway location, before moving to the new
Bishop Armstrong campus in Oak Park, the first year it opened.
According to Bollinger, Bishop Armstrong’s first principal, Brother
Gabriel, certainly had his hands full. “This large cohesive group of
young men had to adjust to the presence of females. It took a
long time for us to settle in,” he recalls with a laugh. “He took the
brunt of our rebellions and handled it very well.” When Bollinger
wasn’t in the classroom, he was busy with co-curricular activities.
A multi-sport varsity athlete, he excelled at track, football and
basketball. He was also Bishop Armstrong’s first student council
president. Bollinger remembers his high school years fondly.
“I treasure the education I received from the Brothers,” states
Bollinger. “The biggest lesson I carried with me from school
was the value of honesty and simply, treating other people how
you would want to be treated. My parents, grandparents and
the school all taught me the importance of this value and I’ve
carried it with me all my life.”
After high school, Bollinger went on to attend Sacramento State
University and make his mark on the Sacramento region
through commercial development. He became a world traveler
and an avid hunter and fisherman. Along the way, his family
grew to include children and an abundance of grandchildren.
“Family is very important to me,” states Bollinger. “I always find
great joy in having the whole family together.”
Even after his time at Bishop Armstrong, Bollinger continues to
be a proponent and supporter of Lasallian Catholic education.
“One of the things that impresses me most about CB is its
longevity,” says Bollinger. “I have witnessed big changes in
Catholic education through the years and CB is on an ascending
trajectory. I am encouraged by the fact that CB is doing so well.
It’s important to keep the school and the scholastic level where
it is, so the tradition goes on.”
Bollinger’s gift to the Securing the Future Campaign – Phase I is,
indeed, helping to ensure that the tradition goes on. “I can’t say
enough how grateful we are for Mr. Bollinger’s incredible
generosity,” says President Lorcan Barnes. “His transformative
gift is a testament to the Brothers who touched his heart in the
1950s and a gift to current and future Falcons. Not only does
his gift help give our students a facility that matches their
God-given gifts, it positions CB well for future growth.”
When asked about the inspiration behind his decision to give so
generously, Bollinger explains, “I felt obligated to give. I owe the
school, the community and the Brothers so much. Everything I got
out of the school, I felt I should give something back.” In recogni-
tion of the important role CB has played in his life, Bollinger’s
generous gift will help the school continue to provide that same
formative experience to students today and future generations.
To sum it all up, Bollinger notes, “There’s a real love for the
school by a large cadre of people. I am happy to be able to give
back. It’s a very positive feeling for me to be able to do this.”
TUITION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM RECEIVES BOOST FROM ENDOWMENT COMMITMENTS
Recent fundraising efforts were not limited to construction alone.
Through the Securing the Future Campaign – Phase I, Christian
Brothers has received $2.6 million in commitments for the school’s
endowment for tuition assistance. We believe every student,
regardless of economic status, deserves a quality education. With
an enduring commitment to service to the poor, CB is the region’s
leader in tuition assistance, providing $2.8 million to 421 students
in the 2019-20 school year. Nationally, only 51% of low incoming
students attend college. At CB, we are proud to say 99% of our
low-income students attend college. Tuition assistance creates
educational opportunities and breaks the cycle of poverty.
We are grateful to all volunteers and donors at every giving
level for their support of CB in the Securing the Future Campaign –
Phase I. Thank you for helping build the foundation of the
school’s future.

Christian Brothers High School cele-
brated its 143rd commencement on
Friday, May 24, awarding diplomas
to graduating seniors and adding 263
young men and women to its renowned
ranks of alumni.
The day began with Baccalaureate Mass at the
Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament officiated by
the Most Reverend Bishop Jaime Soto. Following
mass, graduates and their families enjoyed a
luncheon at school and celebrated graduation that
evening at the Sacramento Memorial Auditorium.
The evening proved to be the ideal ending to four
years of hard work and fond memories. Senior
class president, Evdokia Tsiopos (School of the
Art Institute of Chicago) served as master of
ceremonies. Nicholas Kennedy (University of
California, Santa Barbara) provided the salutatory
address with Alanna O’Neill (Pomona College)
serving as valedictorian. CB’s class of 2019
instrumentalists earned a loud roar of applause
for their vibrant rendition of Bruno Mars’
“Finesse” followed by a performance of Charlie
Puth’s “One Call Away” by Honors Vocal Jazz.
Kennedy’s overall theme in his salutatory address
was love, stating “Everything is love. From the
minute I showed up on this campus, I was shown
love. Each and every lunch that I spent with a
new group of people who sat with me and gave
their friendship to me, expecting nothing in
return, was an act of love. The teachers and the
staff who have dedicated their lives to making
Christian Brothers what it is – a community and a
home for so many – have done so out of tremen-
dous love. Every time we showed up to a sporting
event, went to a dance, volunteered or went on
retreat, we did so out of love. All of us, this whole
class, have been so generous and so giving of
ourselves in ways that continue to surprise and

An alumnus of Christian Brothers, Capogreco
(best known as ‘Cap’) found his way back to
CB unexpectedly.
He earned his bachelor’s degree in Spanish from California State
University, Sacramento and later attended school in Guadalajara,
México for his master’s degree in Spanish. Through the program,
he got the opportunity to teach English at a local high school,
where he fell in love with teaching. After completing his master’s
program, he returned to the states and worked in a lumber yard
as he took his passion for teaching to the next level in the
teaching credential program at Chapman University. One day, a
coworker showed him a Spanish teacher job posting, which
happened to be a position at his high school alma mater.
Capogreco made a call to CB, scheduled an interview for the
next day, earned the job on the spot in the fall of 1994, and
hasn’t looked back. “It’s awesome to come back and teach at
2019 Lasallian Educator of the Year
TOMÁS CAPOGRECO ’86
the place I went to and give back to the community that gave
me my high school education,” reflects Capogreco. “I enjoy
working with former teachers.”
During his 26 years at the school, he has taught Spanish II, III,
and IV, and is involved with the KBFT senior video class,
which had begun as a video club in the 90s. Sarah Slakey
Colwell ’99 had asked him to be the club moderator and the
club soon took off in popularity, later being incorporated into
what is now KBFT. Capogreco also formerly moderated the
junior class council, Black Student Union for 10 years,
Lasallian Youth, and the study abroad program where he took
students on Mexican and European learning excursions. He
annually attends the Student Television Network (STN)
Convention for KBFT and currently participates in the
Diversity and Inclusion Committee, VENAVER and Kairos
retreats (even before the Kairos retreat program began),
faculty and staff choir, and performs with students and

Happy Retirement!Thank you Jill Bennett for your 29 years of dedicated
service! We are grateful for your service to the
students of Christian Brothers High School and for
the many “miracles” you performed. We wish you
happiness and God’s blessings as you enjoy retirement.
“To touch the hearts and minds of your pupils and to inspire them with the Christian spirit is the greatest miracle you can perform and one God expects of you.”
St. John Baptist de La Salle
colleagues at Open Mic Night. With music being a large part
of his life, Capogreco is known for incorporating music into his
lesson plans as well.
His ability to connect with students begins instantly in the
classroom. “The most important part about Cap is his heart,” says
Anthony Sweha ’19. “He doesn’t just teach you, he cares about you.
Cap never fails to spread positive energy wherever he is.”
The connection he has with his students extends beyond their four
years at Christian Brothers. When there’s a Wine, Beer & Food
Extravaganza or a CB 10- and 20-year reunion, there’s Capogreco.
“His heart touches everyone with whom he has contact,” notes
Tom English. “This is continually evident in the vast number of
alumni who seek him out at school social functions many years
after they have graduated. The alumni are all there to tell him what
they are doing with their lives and expressing thanks for the
connection he had with them while they were students. And most
importantly, because of his unending care for his students, he is
interested in and cares about everything they are telling him and
everything they are doing.”
Having taken part in a wide variety of activities, groups, and
events, Capogreco has gotten to know a significant number of
students both in and out of the classroom over the years. If it’s
not the rock n’ roll shirt, leather jacket, boots, and the long hair
that people remember about him, it’s certainly the infamous
wall of photos of former and current students in his classroom
dating back to his first year of teaching at CB. What begun
simply as students wanting to bring in and share pictures with
him turned into an elaborate display that everyone wants to be
a part of. “Cap’s wall is the manifestation of his importance to
the CB community: he loves and cherishes the personal bonds
he has with his students,” states Sweha.
Capogreco’s sincere dedication, love, and compassion for his
students, colleagues, and the Christian Brothers community
are among the numerous reasons why he is CB’s 2019 Lasallian
Educator of the Year.
“He doesn’t just teach you, he cares about you. Cap
never fails to spread positive energy wherever he is.”

32nd Annual
The Christian Brothers Wine, Beer
& Food Extravaganza is the annual
party with a purpose that’s not to
be missed.
Each September, CB alumni, friends and families
enjoy a vibrant evening of Sacramento’s excellent
food, libations, entertainment and fellowship.
Attendees enjoyed samples from 53 vendors in
the wine garden and 54 beer garden vendors. In
its 32nd year, the event generated a record-break-
ing $187,000 in support of tuition assistance at CB.
A big thank you to Mike Genovese, Lon Burford '73
and Kelly Brothers for their continued support as
the event's Presenting Sponsor.
Attendees of the Private Reserve Tasting had the
special opportunity to arrive an hour before the
main event and enjoy exclusive food and drinks. A
live performance by Mark Wellendorf ‘83 provided
tunes to set the mood on the Mary Lawn. Rolf
Schumann, Tomas Capogreco ’86 and Christian
Bohm served as “CB-lebrity” bartenders.
The popular Cigar Bar, sponsored by Northern
California Carpenters Union, hosted a variety of
quality cigars and bourbon tastings. The Kyle
Tuttle ‘05 Band provided the entertainment on
the wine lawn stage. Uptown Funk, the electrify-
ing Bruno Mars tribute band from Los Angeles,
performed on the beer garden stage on Koppes
Plaza, resulting in nothing short of fun and
high energy.
“This evening is phenomenal for many reasons, most
importantly the huge impact it has on our tuition
assistance program in supporting and giving more
students the opportunity to have a quality educa-
tion at Christian Brothers," says CB President
Lorcan Barnes. “This event would not have been
possible without the behind the scenes work by
event chair Rick Pires ‘79, Events Coordinator Joan
Schubert ‘00, Director of Advancement Nancy
Smith-Fagan, Director of Alumni Giving Yolanda
Torrecillas, and a dedicated group of alumni,
volunteers and vendors.”
Special thanks to our Presenting Sponsor,
Genovese Burford & Brothers, for their ongoing
generous support of the event as well as all of our
sponsors. Thank you to the classes of 1982, 1983,
1984, and 1989, and the Athletic Department for

CB Ambassadors Celebrate the Past, Present and FutureA crisp October evening served as a wonderful
time for the 35th annual Ambassadors’ Club
Dinner at Christian Brothers High School.
The event served as an opportunity for members of the CB
community to express their gratitude and thank those who
have generously supported the school. As the sun was setting,
attendees had a firsthand viewing of the construction of the
Peter P. Bollinger ’57 Stadium. Nancy Smith-Fagan served as
master of ceremonies for the event.
The evening began with remarks from President Lorcan Barnes
and prayer with CB Board of Trustee member, Brother Dan
Morgan, FSC. Following them was a wonderful performance from
Honors Chorale, under the direction of choral director, Christian
Bohm. The students performed several pieces, including “For
Good” from “Wicked” to recognize the donors’ support.
This year’s special Ambassadors of the Year honorees were was
Jerry ’53 and Rosemary Kirrene for their dedication to preserving
and sharing the history of Christian Brothers. Inspired by his
father’s service as The La Salle Club’s longest-serving volunteer,
Jerry assembled a history committee to organize and document
the school’s achievements. A project that has been 10 years in
the making, the CB archives has expanded to an online database
of over 2,000 reference items. Thanks to the dream team of
Jerry and Rosemary, CB’s history and legacy lives on for future
students and guests. Together, they are faithful donors and role
models for philanthropic support.
In the spirit of the evening, various members of the CB community
spoke on behalf of the past, present and future of the school,
including Sal “Chado” Vasquez ’52, Ekenna Anya-Gafu ’10 and
President Lorcan Barnes. In his speech, Anya-Gafu expressed the
impact Christian Brothers had on his life and how it has helped
shape who he is today. He learned important qualities, including
competition and compassion, and how they apply to his life. It was
because of CB that he found good role models who helped him
stay on the right path and people who became like family.

CHRISTIAN BROTHERS CONNECTION 25
CAMPUS LIFE
Jerry Kirrene ’53 credits his father, Joe Kirrene,
Sr., with inspiring his service to Christian
Brothers High School. Joe, who joined The La
Salle Club as treasurer in 1945, continues to hold
the record as the longest-serving volunteer in
club history with an extraordinary 39 years.
Jerry fondly remembers rolling coins as his father tallied the
profits from La Salle Club Frolics, baseball dinners, coaches’
nights and the like.
“Our dining room was covered with ledgers and notes as my dad
worked on events to help support the school,” said Jerry. “Long
after my brothers (Joe ’49, Robert ’56 and Thomas ’63) and I
graduated, my dad continued the work because he believed in the
work of the Brothers and was happy to support it. In fact, he was
named an honorary alumnus because of his dedicated service.”
That example set into motion a project that has been over a decade
in the making and has necessitated significantly more space than a
kitchen table throughout the years. In 2009, Jerry assembled a
history committee comprised of former students, teachers,
coaches, and parents to launch a comprehensive effort to organize
and document the school’s achievements. Rosemary, Jerry’s wife,
who he describes lovingly as the “wind beneath my wings,”
prepared sumptuous dinners for the group to entice them to attend
meetings. “There is no way this group would have been successful
without her,” enthuses Jerry. “Nobody would have showed up!”
Aided by yearbooks, private scrapbooks, old photographs,
personal testimony, and newspaper articles, the committee put
together detailed historical accounts of football, basketball,
baseball, and the La Salle Club. They collected information on the
medical, scientific, legal, and academic contributions made by CB
graduates. One member of the group, Dr. Bill Iliff ’76, even wrote a
book, the aptly titled “Let Us Remember.”
Jerry also began scanning yearbooks and important documents.
With significant assistance from Thomas Colby ’53, a database was
born. Today, this online archive (www.CBarchives.com) contains
more than 2,000 reference items with more added each week.
“They also collected a large stockpile of school memorabilia that at
one time filled the basement of their home,” says CB President
Lorcan Barnes. “Jerry and Rosemary’s dedication to preserving and
sharing the history of this great school is truly above and beyond.”
“Jerry dedicates at least two days a week to building the archive,”
says Rosemary. “We love the school. It is such an important part
of our family. Jerry, his brothers, our sons (Kenny ’78 and David ’81)
and six of our grandchildren (Kaalen ’13, Mary ’14, Jerett ’15,
Remington ’17, Kamryn ’18 and Keaton ’19) are graduates. Our
son-in-law, Chuck Zannetti, taught there for many years. It’s a
very special place to us.”
In addition to the considerable time dedicated to history
preservation, Jerry also serves as the unofficial president of the
Brotherhoods, a social group of CB graduates who began gathering
monthly, in the name of Christian Brothers, over 45 years ago.
Though its founding members were from the graduating classes of
the 1930s and 1940s, membership today has expanded to include
“youngsters” from the 1950s through the 1980s, with the youngest
member being from the class of 2007.
“I’ve met some incredible people through the Brotherhoods and this
history project,” says Jerry. “I like history. I love the school. Thinking
back, I was not the best student during my years at CB. Thankfully,
the Brothers never gave up on me. Their patient expectations got
me through, and I left CB equipped with an excellent education,
well prepared for college and beyond. As I look back, I appreciate
their caring patience even more. They didn’t just make me a better
student; they made me a better person.”
The legacy of the school not only exists within alumni experiences
but also those currently attending Christian Brothers. History
starts today. “I want younger students to know they are a part of
this incredible legacy,” says Jerry, who also works with freshman
class religion teachers to coordinate alumni visits. “I want the
students to know they are really important to us. Helping them
understand that is really important to me.”
“It’s remarkable to think that what began seventy-four years ago
with ledgers and receipts spread across the Kirrene family’s kitchen
table has evolved into three generations of graduates and a lifetime
of service,” says CB President Lorcan Barnes. “Thanks to Jerry and
Rosemary, countless CB students, alumni and guests will know they
are a part of something special as their work lives on in the CB
archives and the impressive collection of memorabilia that is now
displayed in various sites throughout our campus. Through the
years, they have been incredibly generous in sharing their time,
talent and treasure in support of our mission. We are profoundly
grateful for all that they have done for CB over the years and on
behalf of the 1,157 students who enter each day to learn, and will
soon leave to serve, I proudly congratulate and humbly thank
Jerry ’53 and Rosemary Kirrene, our 2019 Ambassadors of the Year.”

32 CHRISTIAN BROTHERS CONNECTION
2018-2019 ANNUAL REPORT
DONOR PROFILE
A recently retired Christian Brothers track and field coach of
15 years, Dan ’72 and his wife, Vickie, are excited about the
future of the school and what the sport can do with a proper
facility thanks to the Securing the Future Campaign. Running has
always been in Dan’s blood. He began running in grade school
and ran track and field and cross country during his time at CB.
He fondly remembers his time as a student-athlete. “My
experience was great. Those were some of the best times of
my life. I ran on the same track almost 50 years ago. The new
all-weather track and synthetic turf field will provide our
athletes with the opportunity to train in all weather conditions.
This will allow our teams to better compete with schools that
already have similar facilities.”
Dan’s experience at CB came full circle when he became a
coach for the sport he was incredibly passionate about. He got
the unique perspective of working with what he describes as
“two types of athletes. Those who were naturally talented and
those who may have struggled at first but improve as they go.
Both types were equally rewarding to coach.”
“Dan’s commitment as a CB coach over the past 15 years was a
labor of love on his part for the school and the students,” says
Vickie. “I know he will miss this connection with the CB
students and staff. While we have consistently donated
financially to CB through the years, Dan’s time as a track and
field distance coach is a great example of the many ways
alumni can give back to the school.”
Not only did Dan retire from coaching, he retired from his
business, Dan Smolich Plumbing, after 30 years. Vickie also
recently retired from her clinical trials work at the UC Davis
Medical Center. Both are currently enjoying the retired life,
spending time more time with family and traveling. They love
coming back and supporting the Falcons at track and field meets
and events, occasionally attend CB’s Alumni Dinner, and often
gather with fellow alumni for lunch every few months.
The Christian Brothers tradition runs deep in the Smolich
family. Dan’s father, Anthony ’41, siblings (Carolyn Meza ’64,
Tom ’67, Beverly ’78, Dave ’84), and members of the couple’s
extended family attended CB. Their two children, Lauren ’10
and Matt ’06, are graduates as well.
Dan ’72 and Vickie SmolichGIVING BACK
“Dan’s commitment as a CB coach over the past
15 years was a labor of love on his part for the
school and the students.”
What is it that makes Dan and Vickie continue to support
Christian Brothers? “Christian Brothers has a long history of
offering a safe and inclusive learning environment,” says Dan.
“As a coach it has been great to see the kids grow and mature
both as students and athletes over their four years. We
appreciate the sense of community the faculty and staff
provide and their emphasis on the development of the whole
person. It’s great to see the improvements to the campus and
we want to continue to support these efforts.” They are
thrilled about the new Peter P. Bollinger ‘57 Stadium and
looking forward to witnessing CB’s student-athletes perform
to their highest ability in the best possibly facility.

38 CHRISTIAN BROTHERS CONNECTION
2018-2019 ANNUAL REPORT
DONOR PROFILE
With a rich Lasallian family history, it’s no wonder Mike
Stinson ’82 feels connected to Christian Brothers. His father
Mike Stinson ’59, uncle Tom Stinson ’58, godfather Jerry
Stinson ’60, niece and current freshman Alessandra Salvini ’23,
as well as numerous other family members attended Bishop
Armstrong and Christian Brothers High School (with two
nephews and an additional niece as future Falcons). During his
time at CB, Stinson enjoyed playing sports, spending time with
his core group of friends, and going to school dances with
sister schools, Bishop Manogue and St. Francis. After high
school, he continued his Lasallian education and attended
Saint Mary’s College of California where he earned his
bachelor’s degree in history with a minor in communications.
“I had such a connection with the Brothers that St. Mary’s was
the only school that I applied to,” recalls Stinson. “Christian
Brothers and St. Mary’s were a significant part of my
development.” He fondly remembers and credits much of his
personal growth to his CB teachers, particularly Brother
Edward Oliver, Mr. Dennis Eagan, Mr. Jack Witry, Mr. Jack
Papin, Mr. Dave Griffith, and Mr. Steve Crutcher who kept
classes interesting, taught him to think outside of the box
and were people he admired.
Stinson currently owns a swimming pool repair business in
Folsom, Mike the Poolman, initially getting into the field
unexpectedly. After college, he had a successful job in sales
but realized he didn’t have the desire for it. He preferred
working with his hands, leading him to the pool business. It
was then that he found his true calling. “I was a natural at
understanding mechanical concepts and I loved working

“I had such a connection with the Brothers
that St. Mary’s was the only school that I
applied to. Christian Brothers and St. Mary’s
were a significant part of my development.”
outdoors,” says Stinson. “I decided I’d rather be happy and
passionate about my work than miserable with a fat wallet.”
With that passion and the drive to be his own boss, he started
his company in 1995, which continues to grow.
The Lasallian message of serving others has stayed with
Stinson to this day. “I attended CB and St. Mary’s at a very
vulnerable time in my life and I’m indebted to the Christian
Brothers for their guidance and care,” states Stinson. “I could
easily have turned out much differently if it wasn’t for their
love. I would have been lost in a public school and I want
current students of need to have the opportunities I did.”
Stinson makes monthly contributions to the Alumni Fund to
support tuition assistance at Christian Brothers. He empha-
sizes that gifts of any size make a difference.
“We are thankful for the generosity of Mike Stinson and all our
donors,” says Nancy Smith-Fagan, director of advancement.
“We have seen that monthly, recurring gifts are an easy and
manageable way for donors to give. Small monthly donations
contribute to a big impact for CB students.” Thanks to Stinson
and donors like him, Christian Brothers can be a reality for
students, just as it was for his family members and him.

2018-2019 ANNUAL REPORT
DONOR PROFILE
Life was not always easy for Judge Troy Nunley and Susan
Lawrence-Nunley ’84, who grew up in less fortunate households
and whose parents sacrificed time and money to put their
children through school. The two have incorporated what they
have learned from their backgrounds, education, values, and
common desire to make a difference in the community in their
lives and line of work today. They have a strong belief in the legacy
of the Brothers and the importance of the Lasallian mission.
Lawrence-Nunley attended Bishop Manogue and Nunley went to
Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory in San Francisco along with
his brothers. The couple met at Saint Mary’s College of California
where they were both English majors. In fact, Lawrence-Nunley
was the first in her family to attend college. Three of their four
children, Cimone ’08, Celeste, and current freshman Dylan ’23,
attended Christian Brothers, as well as Lawrence-Nunley’s
brother, Patrick Lawrence ’87, and uncle Roger Caetano ’53.
The pair instilled a rule for their children that if they did well in
grade school, they could choose where they would go for high
school. “I had always hoped they would choose CB,” says Nunley.
“I like the values the Brothers impressed on me there. Students
learn about various aspects of life – spiritualism, academics, and
how to be a young adult.”
“I wanted them to go to CB because that’s where I went,”
explains Lawrence-Nunley. “Christian Brothers is connected to
the Sacramento community. You learn what it means to give
back and how to be connected to the world. We need more
people to feel connected.”
Nunley is a United States District Judge for the Eastern District of
California, appointed by former U.S. President Barack Obama in
2013. “I have always wanted to be a lawyer,” recalls Nunley. “The
death of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. deeply influenced me. He
passed away when I was four and my whole family was in tears. I
remember that day – the sense of hopelessness. From that day
forward, I knew I wanted to give back to society.”
Lawrence-Nunley is a real estate agent proudly based in
Sacramento. “I have always wanted to have an impact on the
community,” states Lawrence-Nunley. “I love Sacramento. Home,
family, and community are really important to me. I enjoy
connecting people and helping them find a sense of place within
the community through owning a home.”
The Honorable Troy Nunley and Susan Lawrence-Nunley ‘84MAKING AN IMPACT
Even with full-time jobs and busy schedules, they always find time
to give back to Christian Brothers with their treasure and time.
They contribute through the Annual Giving Program and Parent
Pledge Program. Nunley was involved with CB’s Campus Master
Plan to help enhance the physical structure of the campus.
Lawrence-Nunley recently served on the Auction Committee for
the 2020 “Golden State of Mind” Auction. The couple is looking
forward to being more involved as they get settled into being
current CB parents once again.
What is it that inspires these two parents to give back to Christian
Brothers? For Lawrence-Nunley, it’s the importance of a quality
education. “I know that when I was at Manogue my parents didn’t
have a lot of money. It’s important to have a diverse community.
Everyone should be able to have a good education. You never
really know how much your contribution is going to mean. You
don’t know what kind of difference you’re going to make in
someone’s life.”
For Nunley, it’s the Lasallian mission-centric community at
Christian Brothers. “The vision that Christian Brothers has for its
students is clear to me. The students are going to be leaders in
the community, in all walks of life. I always think it’s important
that we give back to institutions like Christian Brothers. It was
there for me and for other people like me. It was there for people
who may not have had a lot of confidence in themselves. It’s
important to support Christian Brothers to help the school meet
its mission in terms of educating the whole person.”

Held at Christian Brothers High School on
June 1, the 49th annual Alumni Dinner
was a great night for seeing old friends
and classmates and building on the
strong CB connection.
Alumni, family and friends gathered for a social
hour on the main lawn, complete with dinner and a
raffle held in the Ron Limeberger ’53 Gymnasium.
Members of the Class of 1969 were honored with
Golden Diplomas in recognition of 50 years of
shared legacy and spirit.
The Honorary Alumni Award was presented to
Stephanie Cooper-Noe, a proud parent of Dominga
Noe ’11 and Samantha Noe ’18 and an active
member of the Lasallian Parent Ambassadors. She
has been volunteering at CB events since 2007
when Dominga began her freshman year and has
continued her service even after Samantha
graduated. At the ceremony, her daughters
surprised her and presented her with the award.
The Alumni Service Award, the highest award
bestowed by the Alumni Association given to an
individual who regularly gives back to CB and
helps make the community a better place,
was presented to Laine Himmelman ’06.
As the development director at Habitat for
Humanity Greater Sacramento, Himmelman is
responsible for the organization’s public relations
and fundraising efforts. This past spring, she
collaborated with CB and gave the students the
opportunity to work at a Habitat for Humanity
worksite and assist with building homes for
low-income families in the community. She was
also recognized as one of Sacramento’s 40 Under
40 for 2019.
In addition to service at Christian Brothers,
alumni were also recognized for distinguishing
themselves in the professional world and
making an impact. Honored with the Rising
Falcon Award was Viviana Becerra ’09. After
earning her bachelor’s degree in political
science from University of California, Santa
Barbara, Becerra is now the chief of staff at
California State Assembly for Rob Bonta. She is
also a board member of the California Latino
Capitol Association Foundation and has already
had service as a Senate fellow and legislative
advocacy on her resume.

events for the Kings Foundation as well as
programs such as the Jr. Kings and Kids Club.
She and her husband, Roshaun, founded Unseen
Heroes, an award-winning event marketing
agency. Davis was also named one of Comstock’s

tion that prepares underserved community
members to be journalists, media specialists and
communications professionals. He serves on the
Sacramento Metro Chamber of Directors and the
CARES Strategic Initiative for HIV/AIDS Care and
Prevention Steering Committee. He is a senior
fellow of the American Leadership Forum. In
addition to these accomplishments, Lee has
served on many reputable boards as well.
CB’s spectacular alumni have also made a
significant impact on the history and legacy of
the school’s athletic program. Christian Brothers
Athletics continues, as in the past, to be an
example and a model of a successful athletic
program in the greater Sacramento Area. The
individuals inducted into the 2019 Hall of Fame
helped lay the groundwork for a Christian
Brothers athletic program that has a reputation
for excellence in the Sacramento Area.

The following seven individuals and one team were
inducted into the 2019 CB Athletics Hall of Fame:
JOE KIRRENE ’49
A native of San Francisco, Kirrene was a three-time All-City
Prep baseball player for the Brothers. In his three prep seasons,
he was a part of three Sacramento City Championship teams
from 1947 to 1949, routinely hitting over .400 as the starting
third baseman. After his prep career, Kirrene signed with the
Chicago White Sox in 1950. On October 1, 1950, the regular
season’s final day, he made his major league debut starting at
third base for the White Sox going 1 for 4 with no errors in the
field. Kirrene was out of baseball for three seasons while
serving in the Coast Guard during the Korean War and was
honorably discharged in 1954. Returning to baseball in 1954, he
led the Class A Western League in batting average, hitting .343,
and was selected as the third baseman on the league’s all-star
team. He appeared in nine games for the White Sox that year,
batting .304, six as the starting third baseman, and had three
multi-hit games. He played baseball with the San Francisco
Seals and Oakland Oaks in 1955–56 before leaving professional
baseball. In later years, Joe worked as a manager for California
State Auto Association for 41 years. Kirrene passed away in
2016 and is survived by his wife of 63 years, Grace.
MCNAMARA BROTHERS (JIM ’47, JOHN ’50, AND FRANK ’51)
Jim McNamara ’47 was the starting shortstop for the legendary
1946 undefeated Brothers baseball team. The following year,
he made the All-City team and led Brothers to the City
Championship with a 12 and 4 record. Considered to be one of
the finest fielding shortstops to ever come out of Sacramento,
Jim was drafted by the New York Giants in 1947 and spent five
years in the minors. Jim was inducted into the La Salle Club
Baseball Hall of Fame in 1996 and distinguished himself by
chairing that event for 13 years. Jim passed away in 2012 and
was married to Mildred Petralli for 56 years.
Frank “Muggs” McNamara ’51 was the captain and center
fielder of the 1951 Brothers team. He went on to play two
years at Sacramento City College and hit .360 for the 1953
State Championship team. His baseball career continued at
California State University, Chico where he was once again
voted captain of the team and led them to the Far West
Conference Championship in 1958. Frank hit .316 and made
the All-Conference team. When several professional con-
tracts were offered, Frank chose graduate school and became
an esteemed Sacramento educator for 44 years. He was
inducted into the La Salle Club Hall of Fame in 2000. Frank
has been married to Sally Byrne for 59 years.
John McNamara ’50 was an outstanding defensive catcher for
the Gaels, earning All-City selections in 1949 and 1950. In 1959,
he became a player and manager with Lewiston in the
Northwest League, a minor league affiliate with the Kansas City
A’s. In 1967, John reached the big leagues as a third base coach
for the Kansas City A’s. The team soon moved to Oakland, and
in 1969, he was named manager at the age of 37. He would go
on to manage for 19 years, compiling a record of 1,167 and 1,242,
ranking 48th on the all-time managerial list. He also managed
and/or coached the Giants, Padres, Angels, Reds, Red Sox, and
Indians. John will be most remembered by the 1986 post-sea-
son as the manager of the Boston Red Sox when he earned the
Manager of the Year award. His last year managing was in 1996
with the California Angels.

where he played as a wide receiver and field goal kicker from
1954 to 1958; he was seventh in the nation as a wide receiver
in 1957. Chatfield also played on the baseball team as a

Bowl and an Olympic Gold medal. Chatfield lives in Clements,
CA and is the grandfather of 12.
JOSEPH GUTIERREZ ’70
Gutierrez was a three-year All-Star varsity basketball and a
two-year varsity football player for the Falcons. As a basketball
player, he was an All-Metro performer averaging 20.8 points
per game. In football, Gutierrez was a two-time All-City
performer as a receiver; he played in the first Holy Bowl against
Jesuit, which was a 20-13 victory in 1969 in front of 6,000 fans.
In his senior season, the Falcons basketball team managed a
16-6 record although Gutierrez was the only basketball player
over six feet tall. He lists CB Hall of Fame coach, Jack Witry, as
the best coach he played under. After high school, Gutierrez
went on to Santa Clara University where he played football and
basketball and earned his bachelor’s degree in political science.
MONTY BUCKLEY ’91
Buckley was an accomplished track star at Christian Brothers
and is listed four times in CB’s track and field record books
(4th for 200 meters, 2nd in 400 meters, 1st in both 4x100
relay and 4x400 relay). However, Buckley was known mainly
as a basketball star, playing on the varsity team for three
years. As a senior, Buckley was named the Sacramento Metro
Area Player of the Year in 1991. He enjoyed a four-year
scholarship basketball career at UC Berkeley. Buckley helped
Cal win a NCAA basketball tournament game against
defending champion, Duke, by scoring two key three-point
baskets, helping the team advance to the NCAA Sweet 16 on
March 20, 1993. During his Cal career, Buckley was known as
a great defensive player and was named best team defender
in 1992 and 1995. Buckley is in the Cal basketball record book
for points scored in a career: 45th all-time with 1,035 points.
After Cal, Buckley played professionally in the NBA with the
Golden State Warriors and Portland Trail Blazers as well as
internationally in the Philippines and Argentina. Today,
Buckley is a highly regarded basketball trainer and basketball
coach. He has coached nationally ranked AAU basketball
teams and is involved in high level basketball training for
youth in Northern California.
CHRISTIAN BROTHERS ’81 VARSITY FOOTBALL TEAM
This record-setting team was the only team in the Falcons’
varsity football history to win the Metro League championship
title both undefeated and untied in Metro League games; held a
no. 1 ranked Division I varsity football team to zero first downs
for an entire game in the victory over no. 1, Grant, at Hughes
Stadium on November 27, 1981; defeated three Division I
varsity football teams in a season that were ranked no. 1 in the
Sacramento Area at the start of the game; and defeated a
nationally ranked Division I prep no. 2 or higher. The team was
the first in school history to win the Division I Sac-Joaquin
Section title by defeating previously undefeated no. 1, Napa,
14-10 at Hughes Stadium, the first of two Section titles in
school history. This legendary team was also the first team in
school history to win the Sacramento City Championship
defeating no. 1 Grant. The team was honored at the CB vs.
Capital Christian game in September 2019.
A special thank you to the

In Memoriam
60 CHRISTIAN BROTHERS CONNECTION
John Silva ’98 is remembered by many of his class-
mates as a fun-loving guy with a big heart, and a
smile that lets you know you were in on the joke. He
is also remembered as a man who cared deeply
about his friends, family, and those
in need.
A cause close to John’s heart was the tuition assistance program
at Christian Brothers High School. When he passed away
unexpectedly in 2017 at the age of 37, his friends and classmates
rallied to carry on John’s legacy of helping others by coming
together for two of the things he loved – golf with friends and
tuition assistance at CB. From there, the John Silva ’98 Memorial
Golf Tournament was born.
The tournament, held annually at William Land Park, raises
funds for an endowed scholarship in John’s name. Thank you to
the organizers and participants who came together this past
September for a great time and great cause.
The John Silva ’98 Endowed Scholarship Fund will provide
tuition assistance in perpetuity for students in need. If you
would like to contribute to the scholarship fund, the organizers
invite you to make a gift to Christian Brothers and indicate that
it is for the fund. If you would like to be added to the mailing list
for the next tourney, please call (916) 733-3647 and we will put
you in touch with the organizers.

ALUMNI LIFE
Our Night with Harry PotterA NARRATIVE BY: TOM JOHNSON
We attended the Christian Brothers
auction and dinner in spring 2019
without much knowledge about Harry
Potter. In short, we didn’t know “the
Sorcerer’s Stone” from “the Order of
Phoenix.” But we have Potter fans in the
family; our children, Clara ’13 and Sean
’22, are both devotees. We knew that
when the auction item for a weekend in
Manhattan, seeing the play, “Harry
Potter and the Cursed Child,” and
meeting James Snyder ’99 came up, we
had to win it and make it a great end of
the summer trip. So, we held up our
paddle long enough and after what felt
like a long few minutes, we had secured
the trip. Little did we know that Snyder
would treat us to an incredible perfor-
mance and a magical evening.
When we arrived, there were hundreds
of people in line for the play already.
There was a certain unmistakable
energy building even outside the
theater. There were serious Potter fans
there and the reviews had been
outstanding; everyone was anticipating
something great. As the stage lights
dimmed and the curtain raised, we saw
Snyder as Harry Potter take to the stage.
In the production, he plays Potter as a
father and husband, looking exactly like
what Potter would look like as a young
father. We were immediately drawn in
by the play, actors and the sheer
wonder of the special effects. At one
moment you could hear a pin drop and
the next, uproarious laughter.
While the play was spectacular, meeting
Snyder after it was quite the VIP
experience. With throngs of people
roped off from the actors, we stepped
through the stage door leading to a
small waiting area with walls decorated
with old playbills and photographs. “You
must be the Johnsons?” Snyder asked
as he welcomed us with a warm smile.
He thanked us for being there and
remarked how nice it was to see people
from home. He was down to earth and
very much interested in Clara, Sean and
their lives.
After meeting, we joined Snyder for
dinner at a famous Broadway theater
district restaurant named Sardi’s, which
is full of images of famous actors,
directors and playwrights. For a night, it
felt like we were part of that history. He
introduced our family to the other
actors, and we even got to meet the
actor who plays Ron Weasley!
As the evening went on, Snyder told us
about his time at Christian Brothers. He
cherished his years at CB, which is where
he first discovered his love for acting. He
got his start by practicing for his first
play on the green linoleum tile of the old
library. After high school, a bigger stage
and city were calling his name. He then
went on to attend University of Southern
California where he studied theater.
After graduation he began his climb into
professional acting. Snyder has seen the
breadth of the world of acting, having
been in movies, on TV shows and in
theatre. He now performs on one of the
biggest stages with a lead role in what is
arguably the most phenomenal theater
venue in the world.
In addition to playing a father and
husband on stage, Snyder is both of
those roles in real life. He, his wife,
Jacqueline, and their children moved to
New York a few years ago. We asked
him how he had time to do these kinds
of meetings and dinners with visitors
from Sacramento with such a busy
schedule. He humbly responded, saying
“I know the motto ‘enter to learn, leave
to serve.’”
Snyder embodies what it means to be
from Christian Brothers and from
Sacramento. He is not only talented and
funny, but also genuine. He gives of his
time and effort for CB despite the
demands of leading in a play of this
magnitude and the enormity of his
success. He continues to serve our
Christian Brothers community and we
couldn’t be prouder.
Tom Johnson is the Christian Brothers head men’s varsity tennis coach.
He and his wife, Maria, are the proud parents of Clara ’13 and Sean ’22. As
a result of the Christian Brothers “One Night in Casablanca” 2019 Auction
and Dinner, his family attended a Broadway production of “Harry Potter
and the Cursed Child” in New York featuring CB’s own James Snyder ’99
in the lead role of Harry Potter.
