Mardi Gras Ball
Notre Dame Catholic School hosts second annual ball
By HM Staff
Notre Dame Catholic School hosted its Mardi Gras Ball February 11. This ‘feast before the fast’ invited all parish, school, and community members for an evening of dinner and dancing at Ruth Lake Country Club in Hinsdale.
As it’s largest annual fundraiser the ball featured a cash raffle and live auction paddle raise, with all proceeds benefiting the parish school. Notre Dame has provided a faith-based education to families of Clarendon Hills from preschool through eighth grade for over 60 years. It was a night to remember for all.

It represents “the timeline of having depression to the process of healing,” Flannery explained, and the theme is rooted in her own experiences. “‘Start’ shows up again at the end [of the piece], because I was ready to start healing and to continue living.”](https://dupagemagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/26-1-DG-Scholastic-Art-Writing-Awards.jpg "26-1 DG Scholastic Art & Writing Awards")
