  • Golf Outing

    THANK YOU to everyone who joined us for the 48th Annual Dowling Catholic Golf Outing sponsored by West Bank! This beloved tradition once again brought our Dowling Catholic community together for a fun-filled day on the greens in support of our students.

    From our golfers and sponsors to our volunteers and community partners, your generosity and enthusiasm helped spark another memorable day of fellowship and support. Together, we raised more than $50,000 for the Coppola Family Tuition Endowment, helping make a Dowling Catholic education more accessible for students and families.

    As our community gathers throughout the year, each event helps spark something bigger — building energy, strengthening relationships, and igniting momentum as we look ahead to Illuminate in April. Thank you for being part of this special tradition and for helping light the way for our students. We look forward to seeing you at the 49th Annual Dowling Catholic Golf Outing next summer!

  • Grandparents Mass

    THANK YOU to all the grandparents who joined us from near and far for Grandparents Mass on Thursday, September 24.

    During this annual celebration, grandparents had the opportunity to hear from student and faculty speakers, celebrate Mass with their grandchildren, and enjoy a time of reunion and fellowship. It was a beautiful reminder of the lasting legacy of faith and family at Dowling Catholic — and of the torch of faith being passed from one generation to the next.

Every ticket, every act of service, and every shared moment helps create opportunities for our students to discover their God-given talents, grow as leaders, and shine brightly in the classroom and beyond.
