The Executives Dreams are the substance of the future. But an idea is not substance itself. Monsignor Edward Stephens, late pastor of St. Mary's parish, was the man with the dream-of a school that would provide a rounded Christian education for the young men in this area. He also had the perseverance to produce results from it. He took it to those who were in a position to develop the dream into buildings and facili- ties. He took his idea to men such as Peter L. lreton, then the Bishop of the Richmond Diocese and Father William Buckley, then the Provincial of the Oblates of St. Francis de Sales. But most important were the pastors of the six parishes that would share the benefits-and the burden-of such a school. These men were Monsig- nor Martin Quinn of Blessed Sacrament, Monsignor Eu- gene Walsh of St. Louis, Monsignor Emmet Gallagher of St. Rita's, Father Leo Massei of St. Mary's, Father Charles Comaskey of Our Lady of Lourdes, and Father Rottmann of St. Joseph's. Monsignor Stephens didn't live to see the substance of his dream. And Bishop Russell, the new Bishop of Rich- mond dedicated the school that was named in honor of the late Bishop lreton, The first graduation is attend- ed by a different board of pastors, too: Father Joseph Schwartz of Good Shepherd, Monsignor Justin Mc- Clunn of St. Louis, Father Edward Brown of St. Rita's, Father Arthur O'Leary of St. Joseph's, Father Joseph Wingler of St. Mary's, and Father Philip Hannan of Queen of Apostles. But in 1964 the first freshman class was admitted, and graduation 1968 marks the last step in the birth of an idea. ! .fmitttgt tl- r w T, Bishop John J.
