Mom's Reunion...
... NOVA 2025, and they're loving every second of it! But one is loving it doubly so. Yes, Tina Sansone is a "Steds double dipper" having two sons at Steds which means that Tina belongs not to one but two Steds mom groups. Lucky Tina! Thanks to her sons Patrick '21 and Nick '23, Tina enjoys doubling dipping and continues to do so this very day . Recently, she gathered with other Steds moms from the Northern Virginia area for dinner. Pictured above from left to right are Michelle Susco (Chris ‘21), Ellen Grealish (Keegan ‘23), Linda Lynch (Mike ‘23), and Tina Sansone (Patrick ‘21 and Nick ‘23). On the evening, Tina shared, "I am very grateful to Steds and the Mom’s Weekend for introducing me to these amazing moms from both Patrick’s class and Nick’s class! We get together as the Northern Virginia (NOVA) Sted’s Moms, and, occasionally, we include the NOVA Sted’s Dads!"

A Monday...
... never felt more like a Monday than this one. Why? Because it's the Monday after Mom's Weekend! Moms have left, and well, the energy, smiles, and laughter and more, well, is gone. What we have are grey clouds, cold temps, and classes. We would be lying if we didn't admit this! On the exit of moms and their special weekend now in the rear view of life, Fr. Ralph shared, "I feel like a bottle of champagne that was uncorked and forgotten about on a kitchen countertop. I am, we all are, just a bit flat today."

Goodbye...
...Mom’s Weekend 2025! All good things must come to an end, and so too, our beloved Mom’s Weekend. But still, what fun we had! Thanks to Ryan Davey, the Commissioner for this special weekend, for his energy and dedication to make this weekend a reality. It’s a heavy lift, and we’re glad Davey lifted!
Still, there was a small crew of helpers behind the scenes, our Gentlemen Ushers, who not having a mom join them, graciously offered to assist with all those things that, well, no one thinks about but must get down. From organizing names tags to gift bags, assembling phot back drops to answering random questions, our Gentlemen Ushers, truly made the weekend run smoothly, adding that little touch that made the weekend a truly Sted event. Thank you! Indeed, many hands make light work!
On the weekend, a Steds mom said, “I cannot say thank you enough to all those who helped make this week for us. It was so fun. It’s sad to leave, but we leave with great memories of this amazing and special weekend!”
On the weekend, Fr. Ralph added, "I am in the debt to our Gentlemen Ushers. They truly made the weekend come together... making not only a success but also helping me to relax just a bit more. They are true Gentlemen!"
