... on the recent Steds Mom's Weekend at Notre Dame. On the weekend, Debbie Lis, native Californian and mother of Stedsman Alec Lis, shared,
"After a two year hiatus, Father Ralph, Kyle Bass, the Commissioner for the weekend, and the Stedsmen exceeded all expectations for Mom’s Weekend 2022. It all started with a beautiful reception at the Morris Inn where we saw old friends and made new ones- all while enjoying delicious food and beverages. As we left, we were given a wonderful bag with personalized t-shirts and etched Sted’s wine glasses. It was just like the Oscars gift bags!
But there was more! Saturday started with free time to spend with our sons, and then, it was to the “event of the season” - a celebration dinner of us- Steds MOMS! With a wonderful quartet, that including our very own James Longhurst, and a magic show by a student, Elliott, that really rivaled any show inLas Vegas, we were all entertained. Oh, yes... the food, shrimp cocktail, prime rib, chicken, and deserts were excellent. And not to be forgotten, a professional photographer was there to document the evening’s festivities. With the Dome and Basilica is the background, it was simply magical.
We concluded the weekend with our own private mass in the Steds chapel. With a great piano player, Peter, our sons sang and there was not a dry eye anywhere. What a way to wrap up a most amazing, memorable weekend. Our boys were so happy as we were!
To everyone who made this happen... we moms say, 'THANK YOU!'"
