Honoring individuals whose commitment and generosity have profoundly shaped our mission.
This year, we are proud to recognize Rosemary L. Corsetti and Vincent DeChellis, Fran and Paula Daily, and Jim and Gretchen Haggerty—three dedicated board members and their spouses who have shown extraordinary leadership and unwavering support for HFI.
In a momentous transition, we will formally commission Michael Sexauer as the new Chief Executive Officer of Holy Family Institute, succeeding Sister Linda Yankoski, whose remarkable leadership over more than 40 years has shaped the organization into what it is today. Her unwavering dedication, visionary guidance, and deep commitment to serving children and families have left an indelible mark on HFI. Since joining HFI in 2015, Michael has been instrumental in driving the organization’s growth and impact. This event will celebrate our past while also representing a forward-looking moment of renewal and commitment to the future.
