Page 67 - Gonzaga in the 1970s

Many Gonzaga men have of course been
active in the field of justice and the support of the less
privileged. Mark Fitzgerald (’75) of Sherry
Fitzgerald chairs the board of Amawele, an
organisation, which creates and supports partnerships
between schools in Ireland and South Africa through
curricular based activities and educational exchanges;
the two Lavelle brothers, Richard (’76) and Michael
(’78) have both made large contributions to the
running of Fr Peter McVerry’s Welcome Home Trust,
including the running of the annual fund-raising
cycle, in which members of the Gonzaga community
have often taken part.
