Fathers' Club

A Message from the Fathers' Club President

Fall 2025

Dear Gwynedd Fathers and Guardians,

As Co-Presidents of the Gwynedd Mercy Academy High School Fathers' Club, we would like to extend a big welcome to our Gwynedd families, with special greetings to the newest GMA families–those of our Freshman class of 2029! You are joining a community where your daughters will grow in confidence, character, and Mercy Spirit.

The goals of the Fathers’ Club are to support the mission of the school, build community, and spend meaningful time with our daughters. We support key fundraisers including the Golf & Tennis Classic (October) and McAuley’s Pub Night (March) and lend a hand at Open House and Graduation. This year, we’re excited to bring back popular events such as the Father-Daughter Top Golf outing and a Phillies Game. We’re always open to your suggestions for new activities as well.

Watch for Fathers' Club news in the weekly Mercy Messenger email that you will receive on Sundays during the school year, and also on our page on the Gwynedd Mercy website: gmahs.org/community/fathers-club. 

Please join us for our first meeting on Thursday, September 4 at 6:30 PM in the Imbesi Seminar Room A to hear what’s ahead and learn how to get involved. Refreshments will follow afterward on the Gulati Patio. All dads and male guardians are welcome!

Feel free to contact either of us if you have questions or suggestions.  Looking forward to a great year--we hope to meet many of you at the New Family BBQ!

Thank you for your support.

Best regards,
Tom Valentine P ’26 (Samantha), P ‘29 (Avery)  valentine447@yahoo.com Vince Valenzuela P ‘23 (Gabrielle), P ‘27 (Alexis) vhvalenzuela1@gmail.com
