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.

Reunion 2026

We were thrilled to welcome more than 600 alumnae back to campus this April for Reunion Weekend 2026. Now in its second year, our coordinated reunion with St. Christopher's continues to be a resounding success.The energy at the Saturday night band party was electric, and the wonderful feedback we've heard since has confirmed that this joint celebration has become a cherished tradition. If you weren't able to join us this year, we hope to see you at a future celebration.  You can see below for links capturing all the highlights of the weekend.  

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.

  • Service of Remembrance and Praise

    "For many of us, St. Catherine’s was the first place we were truly challenged to think - not just to memorize, but to wrestle with hard ideas and not flinch. For me, it was the first time that I could integrate who I wanted to be without fear of judgement, and to be offered new opportunities and ways of thinking every day. "- Chris Stoner-Mertz 1976 

    Over 100 alumnae gathered to begin the day on Saturday just as they once did as students—in chapel together.  Chris Stoner-Mertz 1976 delivered a heartfelt homily reminding us that the connections forged at St. Catherine's remain alive across time, loss, and the years between.
