On Saturday February 27th, Gregory the Great Academy celebrated its first soiree in McLean, Virginia. One hundred people met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Scott Bloch to enjoy an evening of fellowship and delicious food. The entertainment for the evening included a live and silent auction, singing by the students, and an address by Bishop Conley of the diocese of Lincoln, Nebraska. Gregory the Great would like to thank Bishop Conley, Mr. and Mrs. Scott Bloch, Marc-Pierre Jansen, Rappahannock Cellars, and all of the sponsors and volunteers who made the evening a success.
