The Wally Shepard Gym Renovation Project

Goal to raise $2.0M
All Saints Gym stands as a beacon in our community, and a memorial to the spirit and inspiration of Wally Shepard who was highly instrumental in the development of the original gymnasium. The space has become an environment where students can immerse themselves in athletic endeavors, artistic expression, and a myriad of enrichment activities. The facility also serves as a pivotal hub for the greater community, where throughout the school year, it is the distinguished venue for CYO's basketball and volleyball practices and competitions, fostering a spirit of camaraderie and athletic achievement.
Our goal is to raise funds for the gym renovation project estimated at $2.0M. Your generous support will help us provide a refreshed and welcoming modernized space for our students and community members. View the project brochure HERE

Wally Shepard's spirit is deeply woven into the fabric of the All Saints community, especially in the gym named in his honor. Revered as a kind, persistent, humble, and focused servant of God, Wally was many things to many people: friend, teacher, mentor, coach, colleague, confidant, role model, godfather, confirmation sponsor, father figure, and devoted husband to his beloved wife Mary. His distinctive way of addressing students as "People!"--whether in encouragement or discipline--remains a cherished memory. Wally's spirit inspires us to undertake this much-needed renovation of the Wally Shepard Memorial Gym. Wally's dream of having a gym at All Saints became a reality in 1983, and since then it has been a cornerstone for our school and community. Now, the gym requires essential renovations, and we need everyone’s support to make it happen. Let’s come together to honor Wally's legacy and make this renovation a smashing success!
