Join us for Mount St. Mary Academy's 30th Annual Chrysalis Auction & Gala! 

Chrysalis 2025: 1927 Speakeasy 

Saturday, March 15, 2025
6:00 PM
Wurlitzer Events Center


Step back in time to the roaring twenties at the
1927 Speakeasy—our 2025 Chrysalis Gala, named for
the year Mount St. Mary Academy was founded.

Immerse yourself in the glitz and glamor of the era as you
enjoy live jazz music, delicious cocktails, and exquisite
cuisine in support of Mount St. Mary Academy students.
Celebrate the Mount’s legacy in style; themed attire is
encouraged but not required.

As the programming winds down, our jazz band will ignite
the room with the infectious rhythms of the 1920s, turning
the Wurlitzer into a hidden gem of the roaring era.


CHRYSALIS 2025 HONOREES:
The many teachers who have dedicated their services to Mount St. Mary
Academy over the course of 97 Years. 

At this year’s Chrysalis gala, we will honor the exceptional individuals who
have made a lasting impact on our MSM community. As we approach our
centennial, it’s a fitting time to recognize and appreciate the invaluable
contributions of these true pillars of our school.
