Advancement Update

We want to acknowledge and thank our alumnae community for their role in making last year’s Annual Fund the most successful ever. Our most successful Annual Fund coincided with the highest participation of alumnae in the history of the school. Nearly $400,000 was invested directly into the high school experience of 480 amazing young women. Please take a moment to read about how your gifts made a difference at www.lfabc.org/thankyou


LFA Foundation: The Inaugural Board of Trustees 
The LFA Foundation’s mission is to ensure a financially strong future for Little Flower Academy through effective asset management and growth of endowment and by helping the school to realize significant capital improvements. Only established a short time ago, we are very pleased to announce our first slate of Trustees who will guide the Foundation’s policy development and initiate the process to grow our school’s endowment.

George Casey (daughters Amelia ‘12 and Georgina ‘15) will lead the Board as Chair. George is President and CEO of Vantage Airport Group and a long-time member of LFA’s Founders’ Circle. Tony Guglielmin (daughter Laura ‘15) is CFO at Ballard Power Systems and a long-time member of LFA’s Founders’ Circle. Jane Galvin (daughters Aisling ‘12, Alexandra ‘14 and Georgia ‘16) is a Director on the Jane Rowan Society and a long-time member of LFA’s Founders’ Circle. Marcelle de Freitas is the past Principal of LFA and is now Principal Consultant at Leadership in Education, working largely with the Catholic Principals Council of Ontario. Joyce Lee is a Partner at Deloitte Tax Law LLP and brings a wealth of charitable tax and legal experience to our group.
