On Saturday, May 14, Mark Davis hosted his farewell Fathers & Friends Breakfast. Nearly 100 St. Luke’s dads gathered in the Forese Family Fireplace Commons for fellowship, breakfast, and meaningful conversation.

Following a delicious breakfast, Head of School Mark Davis invited his special guest Willie Geist, St. Luke’s parent, host of NBC’s Sunday Today, and co-host of MSNBC’s Morning Joe to share his experiences and stories on the topic “Journalism, democracy, and polarization: Building community in a divided world.”

As Mark Davis shared, “St. Luke’s Fathers and Friends Breakfast is one of my favorite events of the school year. Being able to bring everyone together one last time before I retire from the Hilltop made it all the more special.”
