New Alumni Homecoming Experience Announced

January 30, 2024

The countdown to Homecoming 2024 has begun!  CDH is proud to welcome home our alumni, especially those celebrating a reunion year. In addition to the traditional class-specific gatherings, we would like to extend a warm invitation to ALL ALUMNI to come home and celebrate with us during the brand new Alumni Homecoming weekend.

"We are extremely excited for our revamped Homecoming weekend at CDH." said Matt Funk, CDH Athletic Director and Homecoming Committee Chair. "We believe this will be a great opportunity to welcome our community back to campus and celebrate all that is CDH."

Reunion Planning Underway

For those whose graduation years end in -4 or -9, we encourage you to visit Reunions for detailed information about your class's plans and reunion committee members. If your class has yet to announce its reunion committee or plans, we welcome your involvement! Consider taking the lead as a Reunion Chair and kick-start the party-planning process. CDH is here to support you every step of the way, offering assistance with promotion, online registration, and class contact information.

Also, some classes are scheduling their reunion gatherings during Homecoming weekend, some are not...in either case, all alumni and families are encouraged to join us for Homecoming 2024.

A Homecoming for Everyone

This year's Homecoming festivities promise to be bigger and better than ever, with a special focus on ALL ALUMNI from Cretin, Derham Hall, and Cretin-Derham Hall, especially our alumni reunion years ending in -4 or -9.

The event is designed to cater to a diverse range of interests, with activities such as an alumni Mass, a guided campus tour, alumni happy hour, kids' games and activities, food trucks, and more. Come home to CDH and join us for a fun celebration that has something for everyone!
