On Saturday evening, October 12, 2019, St. Joseph High School (College) held its inaugural Sports Hall of Fame (HOF) induction ceremony at St. Patrick’s Seminary in Menlo Park, California. During the awards dinner, the St. Joseph-St. Patrick’s Alumni Association honored 63 outstanding coaches and athletes who helped make the Intramural & Interscholastic sports programs successful during their seminary days.
The evening’s guest of honor, Gordon Lacey, who served as St. Joe’s athletic director and soccer coach from 1966-1975, became the first-ever person inducted into the newly formed HOF. Other inductees who also spoke included Mike Sheehan H’71, Kevin O’Connor H’71, John Collins R’64, and Hugh Donohoe H’68.
Overall, the awards banquet was attended by 108 athletes and family members, and provided many wonderful memories that have been recorded in our website’s Gallery section.
