The 58th Annual Green & Gold Gala, honoring Brother David Galinski, FSC’s 55 years of service, was a powerful celebration of the Shamrock community. Thanks to your incredible generosity, we raised nearly $1.3 million in support of the young men of Saint Patrick High School. ☘️ As one alumni mother recently shared, a St. Pat’s education is “something that money can’t buy.” Because of you, that life-changing experience continues to be possible for so many deserving young men across the Chicagoland area. Thank you to our event sponsors, auction donors, volunteers, and committee members for your generosity, your time, and your belief in the mission of Saint Patrick High School. 🙌 If you haven’t yet had the chance, there is still time to make a gift and help the Shamrock tradition continue for generations to come. gggala26.givesmart.com 💚💛

An All-State quarterback and Senior Class President at St. Pat’s, Jerry went on to serve as a Marine Corps machine gunner in Vietnam, where his fellow Marines knew him as Hans, a dependable friend and natural leader. Before the battle of Hill 881, Jerry gathered with fellow Marines and led them in the Act of Contrition. On April 30, 1967, he was mortally wounded by enemy machine-gun fire. He never returned home to marry his high school sweetheart or begin the life he had envisioned, giving his life in service to his fellow Marines and country.
