Dreaming of a White Christmas
A Message from our Pastor
Dear Parishioners and Guardian Angel Dinner Supporters,
One of the distinguishing marks of the early Church was the fellowship those believers
in Christ shared with one another.
“... and day by day,
attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes,
they partook of food with glad and generous hearts,
praising God and having favor with all the people.”
Acts 2:46-4
Real parish community is celebrating the Eucharist with each other and also enjoying the
fellowship that flows from that. At St. Gerald, we have numerous opportunities to share our
friendship and faith with each other. We have multiple social events which bind us together.
One of the most enjoyable experiences of parish fellowship is the annual Guardian Angel
Dinner and Auction. This is a great experience of what it means to be “church” ... “parish”.
Even though this event is focused on raising funds for the good of the parish and school, I
think the greater benefit is just getting together and enjoying each other’s friendship.
Thank you all for being part of this fun gathering. In our own way we are imitating
what the early Christians experienced—being one in the Lord in love and friendship.
Have a wonderful time as you experience being “church” ... “parish”.
Fr. Gary
“In our own way we are
imitating what the early
Christians experienced—
being one in the Lord in
love and friendship.”
Thank you and God bless,
Fr. Gary Ostrander, Pastor
A Message from our Principal
Dear St. Gerald School Families and Friends,
Thank you for supporting our St. Gerald Guardian Angel Dinner and Auction!
Some of you have joined us in the past, and for some of you, this is your first experience
with our festive evening. This is such a wonderful way to raise money for our school
and parish. Gathering together for a night of good food and great fellowship is always
well worth the hard work that goes into putting this event together.
This year we are excited about raising money to have a new gym floor installed
during Christmas vacation. The funds raised this evening will help finance that project.
Your generosity is greatly appreciated! I thank you.
Thank you also to the many volunteers who have worked so hard to make this
evening such a success! We could not have this event without your help.
Thank you and blessings upon you,
Mr. Dave Garland, Principal

2009 Guardian Angel Dinner & Auction
A Message from our Co-Chairs
Dear Guardian Angel Guests and Volunteers,
It’s Christmas time again and we have a big list for Santa!! We have been “Dreaming
of a White Christmas”, and since we all made it to the “nice” list, our dreams are about
to come true…. a new gym floor!
It is hard to put into words just how much everyone’s time, talent and of course treasure
is appreciated. St. Gerald Parish and School are incredibly fortunate to have so many
generous parents, grandparents, parishioners and even non-parishioners. Just walking in
the door, there is an overwhelming feeling of community and friendship that welcomes
you in. That feeling of community is felt each time we come together – whether it is for
a pancake breakfast, chili feed, food drive, setting up for the Guardian Angel Auction, or
attending this great event. The laughter, togetherness, and determination to help, can’t
be missed. We want to acknowledge all of those volunteers who have donated countless
hours of their time to ensure the success of this event, and invite everyone to stop and
thank a volunteer – who knows, you may be sitting right next to one! All of this has been
done in the name of the students, school, and staff we all love so much.
It is heartwarming to see how many alumni are sending their new generation to St.
Gerald’s school. It certainly speaks to what a wonderful school we have at St. Gerald’s,
and how dedicated our parish is to our children! Over the past 50 years, the parishioners
and staff of St. Gerald’s continuously strive to improve our school. We know that with
your dedication and help, we will continue to make improvements for the generations to
come in the next 50 years!
Therefore, many thanks go out to the countless volunteers, donors, and, of course, you,
the attendees of this year’s auction. Together, the school’s dream of a new gym floor will
come true! Come, remember a time of yesteryear, relive a bit of the past, and enjoy the
evening “Dreaming of a White Christmas”.
May God’s Blessings be upon each of you tonight,
and throughout this Holy Christmas Season.
Christi Krajeski, Mary Sheridan, Andrea Heig

levels of giving outlined below.

2009 CERAMIC ANGELS
2009 Ceramic Guardian Angels - $20 each
These beautiful little angels carry on the tradition of the
Guardian Angel Collection Series introduced at the 2001 auction.
They will add Christmas cheer to any room, anytime of year.
There are only 16 angels, so don’t forget to add your number to the bid sheet.
They make a perfect addition to your collection.
They also make perfect gifts.
1950’s Holiday Centerpieces
“I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas”
was the one-of-a-kind song that made
the 1950’s holidays truly memorable even today.
The centerpieces on each table are also one-of-a-kind
and designed to take you back in time,
especially to 1959, when St. Gerald School celebrated it’s first Christmas.
Each beautiful arrangement is priced
with its own “Buy It Now”* tag.
Find your favorite centerpiece and add your bidder number ...
because once it’s SOLD it’s GONE!
*"Buy-It-Now" items cannot be bid up. When a single bid number has been added to the tag,
the item is considered sold. You may claim centerpieces at the end of the night from the table.
Please make sure there is a colored sticker on the tag. This signifies that your bid number was
recorded by the cashier. All other "Buy it Now" items that are among the Silent Auction items
will be in the church with your other items. Other "Buy it Now" items start on page 69.

The “Doolittle Raid” is the popular name given to a mission flown by members of the United States
Army, Air Force, and Navy. After the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Lt. Col. “Jimmy” Doolittle and his
crew flew their B-25 Mitchell bombers off of the aircraft carrier USS Hornet in the first strike against
the Japanese home islands. Their true story is one of bravery, service to country, and sacrifice. Several of the “Raiders”
were eventually captured and held prisoner by the Japanese as well as the Germans, and their real life events were
portrayed in the epic film “THE GREAT ESCAPE”, “THIRTY SECONDS OVER TOKYO”, “PEARL HARBOR” and
more. This lithograph will only make you want to read more about Doolittle and the famous Doolittle Raid. Let your
patriotism show, as you display this General James H. Doolittle lithograph #76/400, which has been signed by 6 of
the surviving Doolittle Raiders. It is a piece sure to be treasured for many years to come!
