Celebrating 80 Years of Excellence, Faith, and Community

This milestone celebration will honor the Venerini Sister's eight decades of excellence and pay tribute to the visionary leadership of Sister Carol Skehan, whose progressive approach has left an indelible mark on the Academy.

Sister Carol Skehan, known for her trailblazing spirit, has been a driving force behind transformative change at Venerini Academy. From championing the introduction of the school’s first computer lab to embracing new teaching methods and innovations, she ensured the school always stayed ahead of the curve. Her unwavering commitment to progress and her belief in the importance of preparing students for the future have inspired countless educators and students alike.

In honor of her remarkable contributions, Venerini Academy is establishing the Sister Carol Skehan Endowment Fund, which will support the school’s scholarship program. This fund will help provide access to the exceptional education that has been the hallmark of Venerini Academy for 80 years.

“This gala celebrates not just 80 years of Venerini Academy’s history, but the visionaries like Sister Carol Skehan who have shaped our school into what it is today,” said Rosanna Paladino-Swillo, Director of Advancement. “Sister Carol’s relentless drive to push boundaries and embrace change continues to inspire us to move forward, just as she did for decades.”
