Eagle
Eye
is published three times a year by the College Foundation and Community
Office. It aims to keep in touch with the wider Aloysian community of
families, past pupils, friends, Jesuits and benefactors. |
The Aloysian Association
was reconstituted in 1990 to include, not only former pupils but all current
parents and members of staff. When the College Foundation & Community
Office was set up in 1999 it included an Alumni Director who was responsible
for maintaining a former pupil database and for the organization of reunions
and other means of contact. It was agreed that the Alumni Director would also
be an ex officio member of the Aloysian Association committee.
The purpose of the Aloysian Association as defined in the constitution is
to support the Society of Jesus in all their works and especially in their
work in the West of Scotland.
The Aloysian Association organizes a number of social events through which
members are given the opportunity to meet each other and to be informed of
the current needs and activities. The highlight of the year is the Annual
Summer Ball, a fund raising event through which some £20,000 is realized
each year. This money is used to support a number of charitable causes including
guaranteed support for two mission stations in Africa and one in India, as
well as donations to local and national charitable causes. Funds have also
been allocated to the needs of the College, including building development
and bursary funding.
The Aloysian Association is a member of the British Jesuit Alumni group and
as such participates in the work of the European Federation of Jesuit Alumni
and of the World Union of Jesuit Alumni . The President of the Association,
Mr. John McCabe, is also President of the BJA and a trustee of its charitable
arm Eagle Aid.
