The Gesu Gala is an annual fundraiser that supports Gesu School in its mission to help 400 of North Philadelphia’s children to transcend all forms of poverty through comprehensive, innovative education. The Gesu Gala supports forward-thinking academic and extracurricular programming that empowers students to develop their strengths, overcome challenges, and become positive, engaged members of the community and the world.

This year, we are honoring Sr. Ellen Convey, IHM with the inagural Mark Solomon Gesu Spirit Medal. For the last 33 years, Sister Ellen has served as Gesu's tireless leader and ardent advocate for our students and families. First in the building each day and often last to leave, her dedication and generosity are exceptional. Over the last three decades, Sr. Ellen has made an immeasurable impact on thousands of Gesu children, their families, and across our North Philadelphia community. Her compassion, love, and commitment have been, and continue to be, felt by all of those in her presence and who have been blessed to know her. As Gesu School ceclebrates our 30th Anniversary as an independent, Catholic school, there is no one more deserving of our highest honor than Sister Ellen Convey, IHM.
