2025-2026 Executive Team

President Mary Catherine Leeker

Hi! I am Mary Catherine Leeker, Villa Duchesne Class of '85. I am so grateful to be serving as the 2025-2027 Villa Duchesne City House Alumnae Association President.

My mom, Mary Reardon McDaniel, graduated from Villa Duchesne in 1960. My daughters, Caroline Leeker Joubert '11, Grace Leeker Shannon '13, and Bella Leeker Medwick '16, are third generation Villa Duchesne students.

When I am not serving as president, you may find me gardening, beekeeping, leading Girl Scouts, or spending time with my grandchildren - Josephine, Lane, and Jack.

During my term, my goal is to highlight our alumni scholarship which speaks to the strength of our legacy: The Sisters McNally/Ghio Alumnae Scholarship.

AASH Representative Carolyn Dames

Hi! I am Carolyn Dames, Villa Duchesne Class of '83.

My mom, Judy Bradshaw Miller, was first generation class of ‘57. My girls, Margaux Dames Leritz class of ‘12 and Lindsay Dames Doyle class of ‘14, are third generation. With hopes of Meredith Leritz being fourth generation as class of ‘42!

When I am not serving as AASH representative, you may find me being ‘coco’ to Meredith, playing golf, pickle or mahjong or enjoying being a foodie on travels.

During my term, my goal is to strengthen our Sacred Heart connections nationwide.
