Password Protection: Almost every portion of this site is password protected, meaning that you cannot view that part of the site without first registering and creating a password.   
To password protect your profile: There is a box (Profile Visibility) towards the bottom of the page under "Edit Profile" (link is found on the left side of the website under member functions)  Most of you have checked this box, but encourage you to double check your status and change it to your desired security level.
Our promise: We will never compromise your privacy by divulging your personal information to ANYONE.  Occasionally we get e-mails to the site from non-classmates asking for e-mail addresses of classmates or wanting to join the site in order to contact a classmate who is registered on the site.  
We have responded to those requests by informing them that we will contact you directly with their name and  e-mail and only give you the option of establishing contact with them. 
Guest Members:  We do have requests for "guest members" and usually limit that option for members of other graduating classes at OPRFHS or Trinity and Fenwick alum. 
Note about passwords:  If you have forgotten your password, there is a "forgot password" option that is directly under the sign in screen.  Click on that, enter your e-mail and an automated response will be sent to your e-mail address with your forgotten password.  If that doesn't work, or you can't remember your log in e-mail and password, then click on Contact Us, and one of your classmate administrators will contact you to try and assist you.
 
Remember:  This site is completely free and is maintained and administered only by your classmates.  Although we try to answer promptly and make this site as entertaining and informative as possible, we can't always answer immediately so be patient.  We'll be there as soon as we can :-)

 

 

 


 
 

 

 

 

With deep sadness I share the news of the death of my dearest friend Claudia Nocker Venegoni. She passed away at her home on September 3, 2024. Claudia was a very vibrant, intelligent, curious and creative person. I would say that her most defining trait was the deep generosity she showed all those she loved. She was one of those rare people that did not hold judgement towards others but always underlined the good. Claudia was a renaissance woman... a gardener, a sewer, an avid reader, a violinist, a pianist, a sport enthusiast (especially the Cubs) and an exceptionally gifted “Oma” (grandmother), the type that all children dream of.

She leaves behind a very loved and loving husband, 4 children, 9 grandchildren, 3 sisters and an adored Goldendoodle named Charlie. Her presence in my life was not only joyous but felt like a safe heaven, the kind that makes you feel that there is that one person you can turn to in moments of dire need. I thank her for that and will carry her in my heart wherever life takes me.

Visitation will be at Strang Funeral Home in Grayslake on Friday, September 6, from 4:00 – 8:00 pm. Her funeral mass will be held at St Gilbert Catholic Church in Grayslake on Saturday, September 7, at 10:00 a.m. Burial will follow the funeral at Ascension Cemetery in Libertyville.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Claudia's honor to St. Gilbert School, Carmel Catholic High School, Illinois CancerCare Foundation or Paws Giving Independence. (Lavinia Stefani)
