Alumnae

Reunions

Welcome Home!

Alumnae are invited to participate in St. Catherine’s Reunions every five years, marking milestones at 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 years and beyond. This cherished tradition brings hundreds of St. Catherine’s alumnae back to campus each year for a grand celebration with beloved friends. This vibrant, joyful occasion is brimming with opportunities to reconnect with long-lost friends, interact with dedicated faculty and current students and savor the beauty of the St. Catherine’s campus. Highlights include a warm welcome reception on the Green, a Saturday morning chapel service, the presentation of alumnae awards and lively class parties.

See you in April!

In 2026, we will celebrate the classes ending in 1 & 6. 
After last year’s tremendous success, we’re excited to announce that your Reunion will again be held alongside St. Christopher’s Reunion Weekend. While each school will host its own alumnae/i-focused events on campus, the celebrations will share the same dates—making it a special weekend for both communities.

In the meantime, if you would like to update your contact information, volunteer, nominate a classmate for recognition or request a class list, please use the links, or contact Laura Spratley Birdsey ’96, Assistant Director of Development and Director of Alumnae Relations or Laurie Hooker McCarthy ’87, Assistant Director of Alumnae Relations, by email or phone, 804-281-7141.

Reunion 2025

We enjoyed welcoming over 500 people back to campus in May for Reunion Weekend 2025.  Our first-ever coordinated reunion with St. Christopher's was a resounding success! From the enthusiastic participation at the Saturday night band party to the glowing feedback we've received, it's clear this joint celebration was appreciated.  For those who weren't able to attend this year—we hope to see you at future gatherings! We've captured the spirit of the weekend with links below.

A heartfelt thank you to our incredible Reunion Committee members. Their planning, dedication and enthusiasm made this weekend truly memorable. The success of the event is a testament to their commitment to our St. Catherine's community. 

Thank you again, and please know that you do not need to wait another five years to visit.  Our doors are open and we welcome you on campus at any time.
