The Perpetual Light

The Perpetual Light
Presented to graduates, friends and supporters of Our Lady of Perpetual Help School
A Matter of Principal
By Bill Kovacich
In the past six months, people just like you--alumni, parents and friends of Our Lady of Perpetual
Help School--have already saved seven of our suddenly needy families from leaving the school.
Most of our students are children from two-parent families with zero or one sibling. I am aware of
four such families whose parents have lost their jobs in the past ten months. Added to this are three
single-parent families who have either faced job cut-backs or have totally lost employment. This
makes seven families (eleven students) whom we were able to help through the Mahoney Family
or the 75th Diamond Scholarship programs. None of these families received more than $450, yet
it was enough to keep them in school until they were able to recover on their own.
Our annual budget is well over a million dollars, and we have had to increase our tuition
for 2010-11 to $4,840 for a single student, which is usually paid on a 10-month program, or $484
per month. Long gone are the days of $5 and $10 a month tuition. Fees alone today are far in excess of what parents
used to pay for a whole year of education.
With this issue of “The Perpetual Light,” we are kicking off a new program which we hope will provide
emergency aid to even more families. We call it our “Adopt a Student” program. The funds received through this
program will be distributed to families who are able to pay the bulk of their tuition, but need just a little help to make
ends meet. When you make a donation, whether for a day, a week, a month or a quarter of tuition, we will communicate
to you the background of the family you are helping. With your permission, we will also inform the recipient of your
name so that the student will be aware of your generosity. Below this article is a form which provides you with details
of the “Adopt a Student” Program. Please help us to save another family with your donation.

2010 COMMUNITY SERVICE AWARD
PRESENTED TO ANDY FERRARI
Mr. Andrew Ferrari, Patriarch of the Ferrari Family and owner of ASF Electric in
Daly City, is the winner of the 2010 OLPH Community Service award. The award
was presented to Mr. Ferrari during the OLPH 8th Grade Graduation and Awards
Ceremony held in OLPH Church on Friday, May 28th. Andy’s entire family was
present to witness his acceptance of the award. The following letter was sent to
Mr. Ferrari, prior to receiving his award:
Dear Mr. Ferrari,
On behalf of the OLPH Awards Selection Committee, the Administration,
Faculty, Staff and Students of Our Lady of Perpetual Help School, I would like
to notify you of our decision to present you with the 2010 OLPH Community
Service Award. Congratulations on being chosen to receive the most prestigious
award that can be given to an Our Lady of Perpetual Help Supporter.
Your devotion to Our Lady of Perpetual Help School began in the 1960’s
when you and your wife, Mary Louise, decided to send your first child, Cathy, Andrew Ferrari after receiving the 2010
Community Service Award with OLPH
to OLPH School. Cathy was followed by Jayne, John and Caren, all of whom
Pastor Father Antonio Petilla and OLPH
graduated in the 1970’s. The devotion and unselfish sacrifice that you and your Principal Bill Kovacich
wife, and your children, gave to OLPH during those years, and in the years that
followed, place you among the ranks of the staunchest and most generous supporters of our school.
When Louise passed away in 2007, you and your children generously encouraged friends and family to donate to
OLPH, in lieu of flowers, in her memory. The funds generated by that noble gesture provided the means to purchase display
cases for Alumni Hall, which today enshrine trophies and memorabilia of past athletic and academic achievements of OLPH
THE FERRARI FAMILY - John ‘76 and Natalie, students. These donations also established the FERRARI FAMILY
Caren ‘78 and Scott Severi, Andy, Cathy ‘70 and Steve BUILDING FUND which is used for repairs and general upkeep of
the school property. The Ferrari Family Fund relies upon donations
Lagomarsino, Jayne ‘72 and Jim Ferrari
from OLPH Alumni and Ferrari family and friends for its continued
existence.
During the Easter vacation of 2007, you brought in a
team of top-notch electricians and completely replaced all of the
outdated incandescent lighting with energy-efficient fluorescent bulbs
and ballasts, for which you refused to take any kind of payment from
us at all. Not only was that donation of time and materials huge in
and of itself, but the long-range savings in energy costs to OLPH
every year continue to allow us funds saved to be used for other
purposes.
You and your family continue to support OLPH in many ways,
including participation in the annual auction/dinner fundraiser, the
Alumni Open House, the 75th-Anniversary Diamond Donor Program and every other opportunity that you have had to give
back to Our Lady of Perpetual Help School. It is with heartfelt gratitude and sincere appreciation that this much-deserved
award is being presented to you.
Sincerely,
Ed Mahoney
Director of OLPH Development
Please make your donation to the
“FERRARI FAMILY BUILDING FUND”
by sending your check for any amount to:
OLPH Development
80 Wellington Avenue, Daly City, CA 94014
The Ferrari Family will receive notification of all donations to the fund.

“Night in LAS VEGAS” Breaks Fundraising Records!
This year the pressure was really on for the annual OLPH fundraiser. As of the deadline date of February
26th, only 96 people had reserved places at the 6th annual OLPH Auction/Dinner, “Night in Las Vegas.” With a
concerted push, and some last-minute phone calls, the attendance jumped to 168, and the profits after all was said
and done amounted to over $18,000—establishing a 6-year record!
An impressive collection of oral and silent auction prizes, all donated by OLPH alumni, parents, faculty,
staff and friends of OLPH produced a sizeable donation to the Technology Department of Our Lady of Perpetual
Help School. While the house was not packed, it was indeed filled with hearty and generous bidders, as every one
of the Oral Auction prizes exceeded the values ascribed to them. The Silent Auction prizes, under the direction of
VP Sheila Ortega, also produced a tidy overall return.
Just prior to the auction, a surprise BINGO game ensued, utilizing all of the old familiar tools--the pingpong ball aerated selector, the lighted number board, even the cardboard “slider” BINGO cards, many of which
are permanently inscribed with the names of OLPH students from the early days. The luxurious prize, a 2/3-carat
diamond donated by Yadegar Diamonds and Fine Jewelry and arranged by former teacher Venus Cenizal, raised a
cool $1,400, all of which goes directly into the OLPH Technology Fund.
“Dino” (in the person of Matt Helm) was on hand to croon and swoon the diners, who were treated to a
delicious, and generous, served buffet from Lidia’s Italian Delicacies of South SF. The mood of a Las Vegas Casino
was re-created by the delightful decorations put together by teachers Sandee Chan, Terry Keller and Jaime Stella.
Overall support from the rest of the faculty and staff, as well as on-the-spot assistance from Parent Club coPresidents Jillian Ramos-Perez and Hanh Koh, and their team of able and affable OLPH Parents (not to forget our
OLPH Student Greeters) made for an extremely pleasant and rewarding evening for all.

Notes from past grads...
1965 Tom Neary dropped by OLPH for a visit while back. He is a Sales Account Executive for United Site
Services, providing necessities for special events and construction sites. Tom says “Hi” to all of his Class of 1965
‘mates and swears he will make it to one of the March auction/dinners (Next one is Saturday, March 5, 2011, Tom.
See you there!).
1969 Ramona Murray Prieto, a Yolo County resident, was appointed as the first female Assistant Commissioner
in the history of the California Highway Patrol. For over three decades, Ramona has had hands-on
experience in seven field commands and three staff operations, working her way through the
ranks from cadet to Assistant Commissioner. Early in her career, she focused on traffic
enforcement and became the first female motorcycle officer in the history of the CHP—breaking
through a 51-year tradition of male-only motorcycle enforcement.
Among her honors and awards are numerous CHP Division Commander’s Commendations, the
Women Peace Officers’ Association of California Award for Professional Achievement, as well
as the Los Angeles Police Dept. Special Operations Leadership Award. She is a tenured fellow in the Mountain
Valley American Leadership Forum and belongs to several professional police associations.
Ramona was born in Daly City and attended OLPH with her three brothers: Larry ’65, Richard ’67 and William
’80. Upon graduation from Mercy Burlingame, she held five part-time jobs and put herself through CCSF,
graduating with an AA degree in Administration of Justice. After joining the CHP, she continued her education,
earning a BA degree in Public Administration from UCSF and a Master’s degree in Leadership from St. Mary’s
College in Moraga. She is also a graduate of the Northwestern University’s School of Police Staff and Command,
and received a certificate in Workers’ Compensation from UC Davis.
1978 David Baldwin - The Perpetual Light Shines in China!!
Dear Mr. Mahoney,
A brief note to say thanks for the great newsletter, and a request to be added
to your mailing list. I stumbled upon the OLPH web site and Alumni
newsletters recently, which immediately brought back a flood of warm
memories. The Baldwin family numbers four OLPH grads, and was very
active in the school & parish during the 60’s and 70’s. Regrettably, I
lost touch after leaving Daly City for college. The Giants never called
(kidding), so I pursued a career in the hospitality business, and have been
running luxury hotels in major US markets (San Francisco, New York,
Houston, LA, Miami Beach), and abroad (the Philippines, Mexico, and
currently China).
As you may imagine, when you’re so far from home it’s a real joy to David Baldwin ‘78 runs Marathon on Great
hear news and see photos of your childhood friends....the Ferrari, Martin Wall in China.
and Murray families, among many others. It’s also a pleasure to see that
OLPH is still going strong, giving Daly City kids the foundation and tools to succeed. It’s a shame to have missed
the reunions and other alumni events over the years, but I’ll keep an eye out for the newsletters in hopes of joining
you in the near future. I’ll always be grateful for the solid start I received at OLPH, and am happy to support
the good work with a donation for the scholarship campaign or other worthy need. I’ll drop a check in the mail
tomorrow, but please be patient with the China postal service!.
Best Regards,
Let Us Know What You Have Been Doing !

1981 Adora Gonzales visited Alumni Hall after Mass at OLPH Church in January. She
had to leave OLPH early to look after her ailing Mother, but has lovely memories of
years spent at her Alma Mater. “When we were in the auditorium, I had a flashback of the Christmas Play, Mary
and Joseph in 1st Grade. I still have the pictures.”
1988 Judy Wipf Silva came by with her son, Jake in March. After visiting with Mrs.
Lucett and touring the school, Judy dropped over to retired OLPH teacher Betty O’Connor’s

OLPH Church
Stations
of the Cross
The Stations of the Cross in OLPH church are original paintings from, as the small label on the reverse of each
Station shows, “Czecho-Slovakia”. Before being shipped to the US, each painting was tacked onto a rough-wood
frame, and in 1925 the OLPH contractor later placed each frame into a permanent plaster mounting on the 2 side
and rear walls of the new church. The mountings were destroyed in the 1969 remodeling and more simple frames
were fabricated. In the 2009 remodeling, the original frames were again altered, and placed into new frames
fashioned in Peru. Luckily, the Stations are now mobile, making it possible and easy to take them down and see
Fr. Donohoe’s handwriting on the reverse of the old frames showing the names of each Station’s original donor.
Original 1925 Donors
First Station Mrs. Annie Beirne
Second Station Anonymous, in memory of May Michelsen
Third Station Mrs. L. Shaw, in memory of Jeremiah and Annie O’Brien
Fourth Station John Corish
Fifth Station Miss Tosi, in memory of Catherine Tosi
Names of 1925 donors are inscribed on
Sixth Station In memory of M. L. and Mary Callan
the back of the frames for each Station.
Seventh Station Anonymous, in memory of Ellen McDonald
Eighth Station Mr. & Mrs. J. Pamela
Ninth Station Given by Ferdinand Muller, in memory of Teresa, Angelina, Anna and Ferdinand Muller
Ferdinand Muller was the father of long-time parishioner John Muller, and grandfather of Dolores Muller ‘70 McCrum.
Tenth Station Mrs. John McGuinn in honor of St. Anne
The McGuinn family was the family of Sister of St. Joseph of Orange Sr. Anne McGuinn (RIP 2007).
Eleventh Station Mrs. Joseph G. Doernier “in memory of boy”
Twelfth Station E. J. & C. Ford
Thirteenth Station Mrs. Markovich.
Fourteenth Station Rob. & Elizabeth McMichael

ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN AIMS TO BOOST OLPH ENROLLMENT
Faced with overall declining enrollment in most
Catholic elementary schools in the SF Archdiocese, an
ad campaign was kicked off in April, 2010, aimed at
recruiting students to attend OLPH. Four Bay Area schools
have closed recently, due to declining enrollment--St. Paul
of the Shipwreck, St. Emydius, Mater Dolorosa (South SF)
and, just this past month, St. Elizabeth’s.
In hopes of enlisting new students to enroll at
OLPH, ads touting the advantages of an OLPH education
have been placed in various publications. Huge posters
have also gone up in the 4 BART stations closest to the
school, for a period of 8 weeks. We need your help in offsetting the costs for this campaign. Please mail your taxdeductible check to “OLPH Development” today to help
protect the future of our beloved Alma Mater tomorrow.
