Thinking about planning a class reunion? Whether you’re celebrating a milestone anniversary or simply looking for an excuse to reconnect, Catholic Central is here to help bring your classmates together.

Start Planning Early

We recommend beginning the planning process about a year in advance. This gives you plenty of time to choose a date, secure a venue, gather contact information, and send save-the-dates and invitations.

Choose a Format That Fits Your Class

Reunions don’t have to be formal! Consider what would work best for your classmates:

• A dinner or private event at a local venue
• A casual bar or restaurant meet-up
• A gathering around a CC athletic or school event
• A campus tour followed by food and drinks
• A smaller get-together for milestone or half-decade anniversaries

Find a Venue

Looking for ideas? Past reunions have been held at:

• Eastern Avenue Hall
• Noto’s
• New Holland Brewing Co.

You can also check out our current list of scheduled reunions for inspiration on dates, venues, and event formats.

How Catholic Central Can Help

As you begin planning, Catholic Central can assist by:

• Providing class lists and contact information for your classmates
• Helping promote your reunion once the details are finalized through our website, newsletters, and other alumni communications
• Adding your reunion to our online reunion calendar
• Holding surplus reunion funds in an account at the Diocese of Grand Rapids for future reunions, if desired

If you choose to hold funds for a future reunion, receipts or invoices can be submitted to access the account when planning your next event.
