Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy is hosting its highly anticipated 47th annual Black and White Ball on Saturday, April 27, at the Langham Huntington Hotel in Pasadena.
The event will be “an evening of celebration and excitement for the future,” the school said in a statement. “We are coming together to honor the enduring legacy of leadership cultivated by the Dominican Sisters of Mission San Jose for 93 years and to announce the official launch of our Legacy of Love, a heartfelt tribute to the Dominican Sisters and the indelible legacy” of Sister Carolyn McCormack, who is retiring on June 30.
“We are thrilled to celebrate the rich heritage of the Dominican Sisters, welcome new leadership, and mark the completion of a transformative project,” said McCormack, president of Flintridge Sacred Heart. “The gala embodies the spirit of our community as we honor the past, embrace the present, and eagerly anticipate the future.”
This transition signals a significant milestone in the history of FSHA. It is the first time in the school’s history that the president will not be a Dominican Sister of Mission San Jose.
“At the heart of Legacy of Love lies a deep commitment to honoring Sister Carolyn’s enduring influence and rejoicing in the completion of the high school renovation,” the FSHA statement said. “Coming together in unity and joy, we aim to raise funds for the final steps toward completion, heralding the dawn of a 21st century educational space destined to leave a profound mark on future generations of Tologs.”
