From Dr. Galey Colosimo Dear Family and Friends, Eleanor Roosevelt once said “The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.” Such insight might readily come from an individual in the prime of their life. At Juan Diego we embrace these words of wisdom, and wish to make them manifest for our students throughout their high school career. For nearly two decades, we have consciously followed three founding imperatives: 1) Learning, 2) Faith Development and 3) Community. Achievement in each of these imperatives was often determined by measurable outcomes such as college-readiness test scores, theological subjects covered, holy obligations fulfilled, and an abundance of extra-curricular opportunities in which a student may belong. During the past two years, we worked extensively on the learning experience and spiritual exploration. We piloted BYOD, STEMs and other initiatives to enrich the classroom; we made the celebration of Mass more dynamic - sometimes simply by moving it to the grass instead of the auditorium; and we intensified the retreat experience by introducing the Kairos model - which has proven to be life-changing for so many retreatants. Over the next couple of years, we will devote more attention to our imperative of Community, integrating a component of learning and faith development. Under the larger umbrella of Campus Life, we plan to coordinate and enhance the programs that address the social aspects of being an introspective, active and intentional member of the greater community - namely leadership, governance, social responsibility, Christian service, justice, liturgy, prayer, retreats and student activities. These are the unique attributes of Catholic education that separate us from other academic institutions. Rather than giving students a list of requirements to check off, our aim is to give students the kinds of intellectual, emotional and spiritual experiences that encapsulates the heart and humanity of these core Catholic values. With forums for discussing sensitive topics, meaningful compassionin-action service projects, leadership training and opportunities that not only accomplish goals but mentor underclassmen, and peer-led retreats that foster discernment and discovery, Juan Diego seeks to engage students in a meaningful way that complements classroom and church. I thank you for your prayers and support of this new initiative, as you have supported our growth over the past 15 years.. mission statement Our mission is to serve God by providing a challenging academic education, rooted in Catholic values and morals in developing the whole person. Juan Diego Catholic High School exists to teach and promote gospel values to all members of this community of faith, with a special emphasis on Spiritus Donorum – Spirit of Giving.

This year, nine students achieved Academy of Sciences Distinction – all of whom presented and won senior categories at the regional Salt Lake Valley Science & Engineering Fair competition, and took home awards at the statewide competition. Alexander George-Kennedy represented Utah at the International Science and Engineering Fair, after winning the grand prize Intel Excellence in Computer Science Award, and placing second in the Computer Science Senior Division for his project “Binary Classification of MRI Data to Diagnose Patients with Autism Spectra Disorder.” Rex Alley took first place in the Chemistry Div., earning the Yale Science and Engineering Association and US Air Force Awards; Gabe Freeman took first place in the Biochemistry Div.; Connor Helgeson won the Surgeon General Special Science Award and placed in the Medicine/Health Sciences Division; Amado Toledo placed third in Biochemistry; David Fenton placed second in the Microbiology Div.; and Michael Enda, Kevin Furukawa and Amber Wolff earned scholarships for Biochemistry, Civil/Materials Engineering, and Medicine/Health Sciences divisions respectively. JD Tech Goes 3D By Nash Elder Printing in 3D is changing the way items are manufactured, says systems administrator Eric Browning. Now JD students can be at the forefront of that revolution. Juan Diego acquired an Ultimaker II 3D printer which lays heated thermoplastics in layers through a nozzle in programmed coordinates to build a structure. “It’s pretty streamlined now,” says teacher John Kilbourn. “You take the model, put it on a flash drive… check the calibration to make sure the printer is set up properly, and just print it.” Kilbourn teaches multimedia design classes and says his students learn 3D design programs, and print models ranging from simple shapes to art sculptures to measured parts. He noted 3D printers are being used to build prosthetics and even skin. Students most involved in 3D printing think it is important they have technology available to train them on what it will be like in real life or a job. “The whole idea is part of STEM education where you can take an idea and make it a tangible object within a day,” said senior Chris Holland. In the National French Exam, Olivia Hegger took the Gold, Catherine Gonce the Silver, and David Hurtado the Bronze at the national level. Thirteen JD students finished in the top six State/ Chapter levels. In the National Spanish Exam, six JD students took home silver awards, and two bronze awards. By Nash Elder The beauty of technology is it saves trees, but JD plants them as well. Student and staff volunteers led by Earth Science teacher Gregg Alex, planted trees at Little Confluence in honor of Earth Day. Participating in an event organized by Tree Utah, they planted more than 150 trees meant to restore the ecosystem along the Jordan River. Tree Utah planned for several groups to plant 1,000 trees and will schedule more plantings at that site. Nate Orbock of Tree Utah was happy with the efforts. “I think it’s been a great event. It’s always fun planting lots of little restoration trees,” Orbock said. “They’re always exactly what we want to see in large numbers along the Jordan River.” Debate World Languages S Students Restore Ecosystem Juan Diego won its seventh consecutive Region championship, sixth consecutive State championship, and ranked in the top 20 teams in the nation after the 2015 California Invitational at UC-Berkeley - the largest invitational in the country. Gabriel Lewis and Nicole Blaber finished in the top 10 at the 2015 National Debate Coaches Association Championships. This is the best finish JD Debate has earned at a national championship tournament.

They discuss homelessness and food insecurity on a local and global scale in their Social Justice courses. They all know at least one classmate whose family has struggled financially due to job loss, health crisis or other circumstance. Service projects to make blankets and collect tons of food for the most vulnerable in Utah are annual and even monthly projects. This year, one group decided to bring dignity and joy to those who turn to Catholic Community Services in their most dire straits. Mural Incites Hope for Utahns in Need By Emily Salinas Students in Jim McGee’s Beginning Painting class designed and painted two murals for the Joyce Hansen Hall Food Bank in Ogden during second semester. The first mural is 10 feet tall by 12 feet wide and is depicting two hands of different ethnicities and cultures, clasped together and holding a globe to resemble unity. The second mural is five feet tall by 28 feet wide, depicting an agricultural scene with farming equipment to resemble where food originates. The idea to paint a mural originated after last year’s painting class created a mural through Comcast Cares for Hartvigsen Elementary in Taylorsville. This year, McGee contacted Catholic Community Services at Joyce Hansen Hall to see if they were interested in murals for the food bank. For nine years, McGee has been teaching classes ranging from Art Foundations I to AP Studio Art at JD. After contacting CCS, McGee set to work helping the students design the murals. He says the students in the painting class helped to bring color and liveliness into the lives of those at the food bank by using bright shades and an original design. The students were divided up into seven teams, each with different responsibilities. These ranged from a paint mixing team, a design team, and a team in charge of photo documentation, promotion, and communications. Working on parachute paper, they had five to six weeks to make the murals to take to the Food Bank. “I wanted to give my students a glimpse into the professional aspect of making art, rather than just painting on a small canvas to instead transitioning to a giant project,” McGee said. “I’ve given info about what the client wants and they really, democratically, design all the elements, colors, pretty much everything. Doing these community murals, it’s a different kind of thing,” McGee said. “You’re making this piece of art, but it’s not really about you. You take yourself out of it. It’s more for the community that you are serving.” N o v em B E R 2 015 sunday All Saints Day Daylight Savings Time Ends jd chs.org monday tuesday wednesdaythursday All Souls Day HS Play FAFSA College Aid Info Night friday saturday Diocesan Professional Education Day – No School 1234567 Open House A Taste of Juan Diego Fundraiser 8 91011121314 15 1617181920 21 Thanksgiving Recess No School Nov. 25-27 Thanksgiving Day 22232425262728 Advent Begins 29 octo B E R dec E M B E R S M T W T F S S M T W T F S 1 23 45 6 78 910 1112131415 1617 1819202122 2324 2526272829 3031 123 45 678910 1112 1314151617 1819 2021222324 2526 2728 29 3031 30 F A ITH ..........................

They are not just awaiting the curtain, they are preparing for life. That is why Joe Crnich, Director of Theatre Arts at the Skaggs Catholic Center (SCC) campus embraces the challenge of casting K-12 performers. “Of course, we cast this big net, so by the time the younger ones get to high school, they are seasoned,” says Crnich. However, he claims it is more than cultivating talent for bigger productions. In fact, well-known musicals like The Sound of Music are easier to approach as most children are already familiar. “Performing arts forces students - cast and crew - to use highly critical collaboration and analyzing skills.” The more informed they are coming into a production, the more Crnich can focus on blocking, lines, timing, emoting, etc. Crnich notes that in addition to using both brain hemispheres, students must learn to think on their feet. “Just like the real world, there are no redos - it’s live. Students learn to fail, recover and get back in again.” Drama also allows students to address morality and justice issues on the periphery. Such is the case with two plays performed at Juan Diego. Almost Maine, by John Cariani, offers nine sensitive vignettes that explore love and loss in the mythical town of Almost, Maine. The Serpent, written by Jean-Claude van Itallie, re-enacts historical moments of violence – including the Kennedy and King assassinations of the ‘60s, and Biblical excerpts from the Book of Genesis – tracing back to the original sin of Adam and Eve. This was a most challenging play, and one that earned Juan Diego first place in One-Act and Best Ensemble at the State Drama Festival. What better way to prepare young people for an ever-changing world, nurture their talents and inquisitiveness, and guide them with a compassionate, moral compass. Fall 2015, the Theatre Department presents “The Laramie Project” which documents the impact of Matthew Sheperd’s murder on the small town. D anc e Guest choreographers are common in the school’s Dance programs. But at the beginning of the 2014-2015 school year, ten-year dancer Jo Blake, from world-renowned Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company, filled in until instructor Shelti Thompson returned later in the fall. It was a terrific opportunity for the Dance Co. to learn different, and more demanding styles from a professional in the modern dance field.

In addition to concerts and musicals using traditional instruments, students have performed on iPads and trashcans. Whether playing in a favorite tune, heightening the suspense of a movie, or guiding fans to sing the national anthem at sporting events, musical performance is vital. Juan Diego is in the process of developing a marching band to round out the music program offerings, and is collaborating with Judge Memorial to develop a team. Nearly 100 students have expressed an interest in joining the marching band, and fundraising and grants have secured most of the funding needed for instruments.

This was the program’s first state title, and seniors MVPs Monique and Dominique Mills broke two school records. The team won each playoff game by 11 or more points and won the championship by 20. The team was driven early in the season, due to Archuleta’s mother suffering from breast cancer and passing away. This year, Archuleta was named among the top high school basketball coaches in the US by USA Today. Boys Basketball The boys finished with a 20-5 record – the second highest season in school history. Winning Region 10, the boys beat Grantsville in the first round of the tournament, but came up a little short against Desert Hills in the state quarter-finals. Gabe Colosimo became JD’s all-time leader in points, assists, rebounds, and 3-point field goals made; and was named Region 10 MVP. Maliik Fagan-Foster, Avery Ames and seniors Joel Bruder, Zach Nickles, and Chris Ward had impactful seasons as well. SilverLine Drill Team SilverLine received national championship rings after winning in Orlando, Florida in the small group category. Locally, they placed a solid second in Region, and placed fourth in the military routine at the state competition. New coach Matthew Delly has provided the team with new and unique choreography that the girls say will improve in the coming years. Delly has also established Impact Dance at the Skaggs Catholic Center and will develop talent campuswide. Cheer Cheer covered over 50 football and basketball games, as well as several volleyball, swimming and wrestling events last year. Twenty of the members of the Cheer Team competed at local and national events. They took first at the Wildcat Invitational, third at State, and fourth at the JAMZ Nationals. In addition to their support of the athletic teams at Juan Diego, the Cheerleaders worked to support their community, completing over 500 combined hours of service. They supported Light the Night, the Diego Dash, Primary Children’s Hospital Foundation, as well as several other service events and organizations.

Head coach John Holmes described the team as having a lot of talent, but it is important that in future years the team comes together and plays with one another. Although making it to the first round of state playoffs, and matching score for score against Lone Peak, the team lost in double overtime. Girls Lacrosse The girls made it to the quarterfinals to rival Park City, but lost after a hard-fought season. Seniors Mara Gronseth and Dani Beatty led the team, each becoming members of the first team all conference and state; senior Ashley Tack won second team all conference as well. The coaches “graduated” at the end of the 2015 season after years of developing the Utah Lacrosse program. Baseball The boys placed third in region after a crazy season of severe spring weather. They played Deseret Hills in the first round of the postseason playoffs, and moved into the lower bracket but lost again to Richfield, ending the season officially. Head coach Troy Davis was asked to lead the 3A North All-Star baseball game, and seniors Kalyn Kimmel, Sam Brzowski, and Pudge Davis were selected for the All-Star team roster. Softball The girls took second in Region play after having a 4-3 record. During the first round of playoffs, the team defeated Cedar, but then in the next game lost to Juab and finally Payson. Although not reaching their goal, Softball retains many players and anticipates improving next year. Seniors Claire Haddick and Erin Stella were selected to play in the 3A AllStar game.

The team was led by a solid group of seniors: Chris Ward, Andre Alves, Christian Jouvin, Jordan Hendrickson, and Jose Rivera. Andre Alves had 12 goals and 7 assists, sharing that team stat with David Hurtado and Jered Mariani. The defense only allowed 10 goals all season, led by Goalkeeper Jordan Hendrickson’s 8 shutouts. Julien Williamson, Woodey Greer, Michael DiGeronimo, Chris Ward and Alex Saunders formed an impenetrable wall in front of Hendrickson. Midfield was also one of the best in the state with Brandon Sands, David Hurtado and Garrett Albright controlling the center of the field. Jered Mariani was recognized by MaxPreps and NSCAA as the Utah “Player of the Week.” Girls Soccer The girls team had a good year filled with team and individual accomplishments. In a very competitive preseason, the girls finished with a record of 3-2-2. Upon entering Region the girls went 7-2 and finished second. Overall the team finished with an impressive record of 12-5-2, and made a state semi-final appearance for the 7th year in a row. In 2016, Girls Soccer will have more than ten seniors leading the team. Track and Field The Team competed very well in Region 10 with David Fenton placing first in the 110m hurdles (and 6th overall at State), and Adam Murry leading the team in discus. Both Mo and D MIlls were Region champs in their respective events (100m, 200m, and hurdles). After dedicating herself to throwing the shot and disc the past three years, Samantha Azarow came 3 inches short of her goal to be a state qualifier in her final year. Cathy Gonce qualified for state in javelin; Brandon Alex, Jacob Beasley, Devon Johnson, David Fenton, Cullen Woodley in 4x100; Mo and D Mills, Anna Ewoniuk, Bailey Leonard and Becca Curran in 4x100; Katie Whittington in 800m; and Carter Campbell in Javelin. Also, junior Brandon Alex led two categories in both the high jump and long jump events for the season.

The team counted on freshman twins Lauren and Reagan Sorge and Sami Howa. Coach Arthur Miyazaki says the years to come have potential. Although Sorge qualified for third singles, she did not compete past the first round; and doubles partners Angel Judd and Lauren Popp had a similar fate in the first doubles category. The team collectively finished with three wins and nine losses in 3A. Boys Tennis Volleyball Boys Tennis took Region 10 by storm: Ryan Kempin was #1 Singles Champ, Connor Kempin was #2 Singles Champ, Rex Alley and Lucas Castro were #1 Doubles Champs, Ben Agrelius took 2nd in #3 Singles, and Tyler Osha and Alex Miller place 3rd in #2 Doubles. Becoming state champ was nothing new to junior Ryan Kempin after he won his third consecutive state title on May 9. Ben Agrelius joined him as state champion in #3 singles category play. Juan Diego welcomed new coach Stephanie Jones with a 6-1 in the pre-season tourney. Another honorable win during the season was a 5 set thriller against Stansbury where the team had 45 kills and 13 aces that match. The squad finished the season with 104 total blocks, 191 service aces, 10 digs per set and close to 9 kills per set Cross Country Swimming The team performed well at the Region and State meets despite a small team, led by captains Olivia Causse and Kevin Hemmersmeier. Kelly Shearer finished first in region, and she and Causse took many medals from the Pre-Region 10 meet and inaugural Catholic School Cross Country Classic. The girls took 4th place at Region 10 and qualified for State. At State, Shearer finished 12th (out of 118) with a Personal Record of 19:34 for the 3 mile course. Causse finished 50th but had a personal record of 21:21. The boys finished 5th at Region, sending our top 3 fastest to State. Freshman Turner Crooms had a PR at State (18:36), Junior Andrew Zinman PR of 19:56 and Senior Capt. Kevin Hemmersmeier ran 22:05. Both Crooms and Zinman finished in the top 10 at the Catholic School Classic finishing 3rd and 10th respectively. Coach Christine Petrone retired after building the team for years. The season started with hundreds of practice hours, hosting our very first home meet, and 10 season meets leading up to Region and State Championships. The team had strong results at Region qualifying nine boys and five girls for State - close to 80% of the team. The team placed third overall at Region and again at State, with Hunter McKenzie taking first place in the 100yd. fly, and second in the 100 backstroke, going on to take 2nd in the 100 fly at State. The boys 200 medley relay took second overall at Region (Opitz, Hendrickson, McKenzie, Stolfa), and captured third at state. Jaclyn Testone took third in the girl’s 100 fly at Region. The girls 200 free relay (Lambert, Testone, Feliciano, Espinoza) took third at Region and fourth at state. The boy’s 200 free relay (Hendrickson, Stolfa, McKenzie, Opitz) took second at Region and third (Hendrickson, Optiz, Greer, Stolfa) in State. In the boys 100 breaststroke, Hendrickson finished third at Region and fourth overall at State. In the 500 freestyle, Jamie Espinoza, Maddie Lambert, and Hunter McKenzie made the championship finals. Hunter McKenzie set a new JD record for the 500 freestyle during the season. Testone took third in the 100 backstroke, also setting a JD record. The girls finished strong at State in the 400 yard freestyle relay (Espinoza, Testone, Feliciano, Espinoza) with a third place medal, and the boys 400 yard freestyle relay (McKenzie, Greer, Nicolodemos, Stolfa) with a fourth place finish, setting a new JD record. The JD girls team finished fourth overall and the boys finished third overall marking a new era for JD with highest place finishes for the team at State. Wrestling State champion John Manning is a major reason for the expanding and broadening of the JD wrestling team. He ended his first Utah high school season at the Super State Tournament by pinning a 2104 4A state champion from wrestling powerhouse Maple Mountain. Carter Shearer, Adam Murry and Connor Dumont rounded out the small, but powerful team.

However, things began to shift during the team’s season kick-off game against Ben Lomond with a 38-21 win. Homecoming was early but Football clinched the September game against Bear River. One season nail-biter was against Tooele High School in an overtime win. The team finished as Region champions, but eventually lost at home during the State quarterfinals against Hurricane. Boys Golf The golf team was led by team captain Cole Stratton, whose performance qualified Juan Diego for the State tournament. Six of the team’s 10 golfers were underclassmen. Stratton tied for 11th place in the 3A state tournament, scoring 12 strokes behind the lead. Coach William Trentman believes the golfers holds a bright future with so many returning players in the next season. Girls Golf The girls team played with only six active members on the team, but led with Katie Growe whose personal best score of 89 elevated them at Region. The team placed fourth overall at Region, earning them a spot in the state tournament. While the team did not win, the Soaring Eagle will return with greater drive next year. Hockey Juan Diego joined forces with Judge Memorial to form a Catholic Independent team. The players worked through the typical challenges of mergers, but came up with 6 wins, 1 tie and 11 losses in the season. With the regular season behind them, the team went far in the playoffs and made it to the State Semi-Finals. Coaches Moe van der Sluys and Davis Mullholand felt the move was a good one, and it looks like the Catholic team will continue next year.

Report Fiscal Year 2014–15 N e w E x p a n si on a t S k a g g s C a t h ol i c C e n t e r The Annual Appeal is a campus-wide, year-long effort to raise funds for the operating costs of Juan Diego and Saint John the Baptist Elementary and Middle Schools. The Annual Appeal helps bridge that gap between tuition revenue and the actual cost of education. Who benefits are the 2,000 currently enrolled students, 255 faculty and staff, and 2,293 alumni who go on to do great things in the world. Hundreds of donation - large and small - made it possible to provide tuition assistance, train teachers, enhance STEMs programs, and obtain technology for the students. The total cost of the Annual Appeal is less than 3% - much better return on donor investment than selling goods to raise funds. Below is a list of funding sources for FY 2014-15. Anyone can make a gift anytime. Donate online at www.jdchs.org, or call 801.984.7604 to make a gift.

Certain endowments are permanently restricted, with earnings rolled over for growth. Endowments sustain the school through internal and external economic fluctuations. Others are temporarily restricted, affording the school the option to draw down on earnings as well as the original principal. With a pledge of $10,000 or more, families can build an endowment in their name over the period in which their children were enrolled, leaving a legacy upon their graduation. Additionally, Juan Diego administers temporarily restricted funds that are contributed for certain purposes. These may include memorial funds, grants, or other donations designated for programs or capital projects outside the school’s operating budget, and carry over from year to year. We gratefully acknowledge the donors who elected to preserve the memory of their families, and committed to the long-term sustainability of Juan Diego Catholic High School. For information about setting up a family-named endowment or memorial fund, contact Molly Dumas, 801.984.7604, mollydumas@ jdchs.org.

Projected growth for the cities that feed enrollment to this campus is projected to increase 181% by 2050. The recent and future high-density housing developments are expected to continue. Further, Utah’s Catholic population has grown. The pressure for the daycare and elementary to meet the continued demand – especially from Catholic families with students in the middle and high school – is enormous and expected to continue. To meet growing program and enrollment demands, and remain progressive in its academic offerings, the Skaggs Catholic Center is expanding its facility. The campus will construct a two-story, 19,600 square foot annex at the southeastern end of the elementary school. The expansion is proposed to house: A technology center plus classrooms and restrooms for grades K-5 on the upper level, annexing the current first floor of the main SJB Elem. building. The lower level, which is partially below-ground, will be designed with classrooms and an open area activity center to accommodate the new Impact Dance Academy (for all grades), middle/high school PE, weight training, wrestling, cheer exercise mats, and various extracurricular activities. It can also serve as elementary playground in inclement weather. Restrooms, storage and utility rooms will be on the lower level. A cement outdoor plaza will be accessible from the lower level for public gatherings The Skaggs Catholic Center opened with state-of-the art classrooms, but the pedagogical principals of STEMs education have progressed dramatically in just one decade. All faculty integrate technology extensively into their curriculum – from SmartBoards in kindergarten, to Vernier science probes in 6th grade, to Robotics in 7-12th grade, to BYOD throughout the high school (every student brings their own digital device to school). The SJB computer lab was originally designed for another purpose, and is crowded with technology, tables and students. Additionally, the schools have adapted curriculum to address the academic diversity of our students, from expanded resource programs for students with learning challenges (10% of our enrollment has an identified learning disability). The campus will fence in the excavation area (south playground and ball field) during construction. Anticipated completion date will be in early to mid 2016. Preliminary estimates for the permits, architectural design, construction, fiber-optics, cabinetry and furnishing of the expansion are at $3,990,430. The Skaggs Catholic Center secured a grant of $350,000 from the Vivian Skaggs Armstrong Foundation to start the project, and has since received a $2million grant from The ALSAM Foundation. The campus will seek additional donations from these and other foundations for the facility, and seek donations through the Annual Appeal for any necessary classroom furnishings and equipment. No tuition revenue will be used for the expansion.

Alumni Serve Globally Last year, five JD alumni travelled the world to serve their brothers and sisters in Christ. Mara Gronseth ‘15, Joel Bruder ‘15 and Maia Sepulveda ‘15 joined a Youthlinc team to Kenya where they served in the village of Kajuki. Michelle Moynihan ’13 and Monica Moynihan ’15 served a village of Burmese refugees in Thailand, also with a Youthlinc team. Youthlinc’s mission is to “Create lifetime humanitarians.” Each of these trips included education, construction, medical, vocational, and cultural components of service. “It was so inspiring to build a gap between cultures, share love without speaking the same language, and really getting to know the Burmese people,” Monica Maynihan said. Michelle Moynihan ‘13 returned to India with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, where she served the poor in the slums of Kolkata (Calcutta) alongside the Missionaries of Charity. Her passion for service continues after three consecutive summer Youthlinc trips to Guatemala, Peru, and Thailand. Joel Bruder and Maia Sepulveda also headed to Thailand with another Youthlinc team, serving as alumni leaders of team committees. Kristin Shimkus ’14 spent her spring break from the Air Force Academy on a trip to Campus Crusades (Cru) to build spiritual movements with students in Poland. Amber Wolff ’15 went to Russia, as well as the Ukraine, and Jiayi & Jiayin Shen ‘15 did humanitarian work in China. Presley Azarcon in India YMAD (Youth Making A Difference) is another international humanitarian organization that not only seeks to transform the lives of those served, but those young leaders who serve. Presley Azarcon ’15 went to India to teach children to read. She wrote on her blog, “Love is love. As we walk down the dirt path to our school every morning, the sound of clapping can be faintly heard in the distance. We round the corner to find the children standing in two lines, awaiting our arrival. The second their wide eyes meet ours, we hear a chorus of ‘Good morning, we love you!’ They loved us, genuinely loved us, before they even met us. The way these kids show their affection and the capacity they have to love is unlike anything I’ve ever seen or experienced before. They set an extremely high precedent for what it means to love and they’re a role model showing me how to love.” Our global society is in great hands with these Juan Diego alumni! Get LinkedIn JD Alumni! New Alumni Coordinator Mickelle Marston is a firm believer in linking classmates via social media. “That is where they live today. Generations ago, most alumni remained in their community. Ours are all over the world. So Juan Diego has to meet and connect them where they are. And that’s virtually.” Marston has consolidated facebook.com/JDCHSalumni, and created individual class pages - including for the classes that are just beginning at Juan Diego. “In high school, it’s all about sharing with friends, so why not keep them engaged through college? After college, it’s about starting a career, maybe starting a family in another state.” With this in mind, Marston enlisted Janice Kopaunik ’03 to build a network between alumni seeking work and businesses with a Juan Diego connection (past parents and students) who love our graduates. Adam Walz ‘07 created a Juan Diego Alumni Linked In group. Join in and find Juan Diego connections throughout the world! facebook.com/juandiegochs Twitter @ jdchs Michelle Moynihan in Thailand Monica Moynihan with Missions of Charity F A ITH John C. Wester, as bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Salt Lake City, was renown for his ability to work collaboratively with civic and other faith leaders locally, nationally and internationally. But for Juan Diego, he was always viewed as approachable. He was often present at opening school Mass and special rites, and he connected virtually through video as well. But it was his willingness to engage in conversations with students that endeared him to them. Even while rapidly packing to leave Utah, he found time to meet with one of the student newspaper reporters. Bishop Wester New Archbishop of Santa Fe By Rachel LeMelle After seven years as bishop of the Salt Lake Diocese, Rev. John C. Wester, was appointed by His Holiness, Pope Francis, to become the new Archbishop of Santa Fe. I believe he will do a fine job there, but I am sad to see him go. Bishop Wester has done tremendous work for the Diocese but one of his most notable characteristics is being a man of the people. He’s a very warm, downto-Earth, and friendly man. I think these are some unique qualities to have in a bishop. I personally have had the honor of growing up with him and meeting him at a talk we both attended at Westminster College. I told him that Westminster was my dream college and he introduced me to the college president. Two months later, I was able to interview Archbishop Wester as he was preparing to take on his new ministry and he remembered me. He said he was sad about leaving Salt Lake, but excited for what Santa Fe might bring him. He said he felt at home here in Salt Lake and thought he would maybe even retire here, but it is a great opportunity for him and the church. “I’ve learned that it’s not all about me, it’s about Jesus Christ, his Church, and how I can serve his Church and the people of God,” Wester said. “These are learnings, and I’m sure that Santa Fe is much bigger, so I’m going to have to adapt, in which I’ll learn even more things.” I will absolutely miss Archbishop Wester. He is, and has been, a spiritual role model for me personally. I see the goodness of God throughout his work. I know he will continue to bring Christ unto others, as he does so well, and relatably. He will change lives there and anywhere God may take him, just as he changed lives here.
