Chaminade’s 50th year draws to a close
Several hundred members of the Chaminade ‘ohana celebrated the close of the 50th Anniversary year on Sept. 16. Alumni, Marianists, faculty, staff, students and friends of Chaminade gathered for an intimate Mass held in the Mystical Rose Oratory, followed by a warm reception of fellowship.
It was an opportunity to thank University supporters and volunteers for their steady enthusiasm, which took Chaminade through an exciting year of special events and transforming milestones. Beginning with the Opening Liturgical Mass and the Bro. Bertram Photo Exhibit last September, the yearlong celebration continued with academic forums and special guest speakers, a Kaimuki community-wide party and an elegant gala at the Royal Hawaiian, punctuated throughout with community service.
It was an incredible year that heralded a new era of transformation for the University. A $50 million capital campaign, which is still in progress, enabled Chaminade to embark on its largest construction project in decades – The Sullivan Family Library and Information Resource Center.
