A Passion for Giving Back
Dennis Lucey and his wife, Pam, are always out and about in Washington, D.C. They are involved with many causes, and their passion for giving back and making a difference shines through in everything they do.
As members of Serra's Heritage Society, the Luceys want to make sure that the spirit of Serra High School continues well into the future.
"What better way to do this than to support institutions such as Serra by designating a bequest," Dennis said. "We are all people for others. We were blessed at Serra. Let us continue that great Serra tradition and mission. We were put on this earth to be stewards of what we have and to give back. Much has been given to us, so it's important for us to give back to others."
Dennis and Pam recently commissioned an exceptionally generous gift to the school—a statue of St. Junípero Serra, which will be blessed and dedicated in the Alumni Courtyard this fall. The bronze sculpture was made by artist Shelley Smith.
"The statue symbolizes who St. Serra was and made a positive difference by establishing the missions," Dennis noted. "Pam and I wanted to continue that spirit of St. Serra into the future."
"The Serra community is grateful to Dennis and Pam for their generosity and support of Serra's mission," said Serra President Lars Lund.
"The statue of St. Junípero Serra will be a wonderful focal point for our Serra Padres, as he will welcome them with his hand outstretched every morning. St. Serra was a man of his day. What makes him even more remarkable is that he lived the Gospel to a heroic degree. He is an example of a man who answered God's call and dedicated his life to service."
The Luceys live in Virginia. They have two children, Christopher and Megan, and four grandchildren.
