2026 Legacy Gala

In 2018 the Legacy Gala was created to celebrate Paramus Catholic as a community. The idea was to honor those that are living the life of a true Paladin. The start of the gala also saw the creation of the Continuing the Mission scholarship fund. This fund helps students who are in good standing but may need a little help to continue their education at PC.

This year we will be honoring the following individuals for their contributions to Paramus Catholic and their efforts to further Catholic education.

Ret. Captain Kevin Smith ’75	Frank Alberta, MD ’89
Detective Lieutenant Michael Cebulski ‘92, P '22, '23, 29	Mrs. Jennifer Cebulski (née Spano) ’92, P ’22, ’23, ’29
Khalifah Shabazz, Esq. ’94, P ’29	Bill McPartland, Faculty and Coach

The Legacy Gala will be held on May 12, 2026, at Macaluso's in Hawthorne, NJ. If you would like to attend, or if you would like to be a 2026 Gala sponsor, you can register online or email Scott Langan for more information.
