Thank you for making our mission possible
Our Mission
Berks Catholic High School is centered on the four pillars of God,
Family, Academics, and Fun. As a vibrant Christ-centered community,
the Administration, Faculty, and Staff are dedicated to providing a
challenging academic environment for a diverse population of young
men and women.
Through Christian principles, rooted in the Catholic tradition, we
strive to positively impact our students spiritually, intellectually, socially,
physically, and emotionally, so they can live productive lives of service
in this world and attain eternal life.

Thank you!
Thank you for your trust in Berks Catholic High School. Thank you for believing in our
mission to teach the Gospel values. Your partnership with us keeps that mission vibrant
and our future bright.
Our second year was a continuation of the great success we had in our inaugural year.
Our four pillars of God, Family, Academics, and Fun are firmly embedded in all that we do.
We have sent the Saints of 2013 off into the world to accomplish great things. Ninety-five
percent of the Class of 2013 has continued their education in college, and they were
collectively awarded over 9.8 million dollars in academic scholarships. We have graduates
discerning the priesthood and religious life, and others who have entered the military,
technical schools, and who are exploring gap years involving service.
Our students have grown spiritually by attending Mass as a community, performing
thousands of hours of service, and attending retreats, and they are recognizing and
understanding what vocation the Lord is calling them toward.

Our students have grown closer as a Berks Catholic Family by enthusiastically supporting
each other at sporting events, music, art and various other competitions. More importantly,
they have experienced all of the emotions that a close family feels -- love, anger, laughter,
tears, joy, heartache, fear and courage -- and in turn how to appropriately deal with each
of these feelings. Our Baccalaureate mass at St. Ignatius Loyola Church was a beautiful
depiction of our spiritual family, as were the cheering section at the Sovereign Center for
the County Boys Basketball Championship, the class trip to Six Flags, the Prom, and the
extraordinary production of Beauty and the Beast. As our motto proudly states, “Unum in
Christo,” One in Christ, all of these are examples of what family is all about: being there for
each other, being filled with emotions, and experiencing all that God has planned for us.

I am eager to continue my journey with the Saints at Berks Catholic. I am convinced that
your investment in Berks Catholic produces young men and women who will be catalysts
for good wherever they live. I thank you for being a believer and a partner in our mission.
Your prayers, financial support and encouragement make the success of our mission a
reality. God Bless you and your family, and Go Saints!

Dear Alumni, Parents, and Friends,
I am so proud and excited to have recently joined the administrative team of
Berks Catholic High School as Director of Development. As an alumnus of Holy
Name with parents who graduated from Central Catholic and Reading Catholic
and four children who currently attend Berks Catholic and Sacred Heart School,
I am deeply committed to the catholic school traditions of Berks County. Keeping
my children in Catholic school has always been a top priority for me. Knowing
that their education is grounded in Christian values where faith and prayer are at
the heart of each day and every lesson is deeply comforting and an invaluable gift.
As a parent, alumnus, and now as Director of Development, I am so grateful to
each and every one of you, our benefactors, for believing in the impact that a
Berks Catholic education can have on a student. An education rooted in strong
tradition and founded on the four pillars -- God, Family, Academics, and Fun –
produces young adults ready to embrace a world where putting God first will serve
them well and lead them to live successful, fulfilling and productive lives. As a
parent, I want that for my own children. As Director of Development, I want to
help make that possible for every Berks Catholic student, and I realize that this
would not be possible without your continued support.
The Saints Fund is the cornerstone of philanthropic giving at Berks Catholic High School. The Saints Fund is a
dependable source of unrestricted gifts that can be applied to the areas of greatest need. Student scholarships and
financial aid, curriculum enhancement, athletics, and arts and music resources are just some examples of support
provided by the fund. It is vital that the Saints Fund continues to grow in order for Berks Catholic to be able to
provide an excellent education in a Christ-centered environment to students in Berks County.

Extravaganza was held on Friday and Saturday, October 11 and 12, 2012 at Berks Catholic High School. This
annual two-day event is our biggest social fun-draiser that both celebrates and advances the mission of Berks
Catholic High School. We began on Friday evening with Preview Night where parents, alumni and friends bid
on silent auction items and the homeroom basket auction. On Saturday evening, the dinner and live auction
was held, which included hors d’oeuvres, open bar, silent and live auctions, raffle drawing, music and entertainment.
The co-chairs were Fred and Barb Ciabattoni and Jon and Annie DiCerchio. Extravaganza 2012 was a great
success and raised over $161,000, of which $42,250 was raised through the Emotional Appeal to enhance the
spiritual lives of students through the theology curriculum at Berks Catholic. All funds raised at Extravaganza go
directly back into the school.
Extravaganza provides a great opportunity for members of the Berks Catholic community to come together to
celebrate the mission and vision of Berks Catholic.
Financial Report
Extravaganza Income - $235,316 | Extravaganza Expenses - $73,836
Net Income - $161,479 | Less Emotional Appeal - $42,250 | True Net Income - $119,229
