Italian Dinner

Don’t miss this annual event that brings together O’Dea alumni, current and past parents, O’Dea faculty and staff, and proud O’Dea supporters, for a night of Italian food, drinks and community. The event, which takes place in the winter, also allows us to celebrate the Terrance Johnson Father of the Year Award and the James Bosa ’98 Volunteer of the Year Award winners. Be sure we have your current email address because the invitation is emailed in early winter and the event sells out fast!

Our 58th annual Italian Dinner brought together the Fighting Irish community for an incredible night at St. Anne’s Parish. Over 300 O’Dea alumni, families, and supporters enjoyed an evening full of laughter, connection, and tradition. This year’s event honored two outstanding members of the O’Dea community. Mario Banchero ’92, father of Paolo ’21 and Lio ’26, received the Terrence Johnson Father of the Year Award. Additionally, Peter Jones ’17 was recognized as the James Bosa ’98 Alumni Volunteer of the Year. We are deeply grateful to both men for their dedication and service to O’Dea. Thank you to all of you who makes this night special!
