With
his Apostolic Letter, Porta Fidei, Pope Benedict XVI declared a Year of Faith from October 11, 2012 until
November 24, 2013. October 11, 2012 marked the 50th anniversary of the opening of the Second Vatican
Council and the 20th anniversary of the publishing of The Catechism of the Catholic Church. The Year of Faith is a
“summons to an authentic and renewed conversion to the Lord, the One Savior of the world.” (Porta Fidei 6)
Every Catholic is called through baptism to be a disciple of Christ and proclaim the Gospel. This Year
of Faith is an opportunity for us to renew our baptismal call by living out the everyday moments in our
lives with greater faith, hope and love. Faith “is the lifelong companion that makes it possible to perceive,
ever anew, the marvels that God works for us. Intent on gathering the signs of the times in the present
of history, faith commits every one of us to become a living sign of the presence of the Risen Lord in the
world.” (Porta Fidei 15)
United with the Church Universal, Pius X has made “The Year of Faith” our theme for this academic
year and faith renewal our goal. Under the exhortation of the Holy Father, I encourage you to re-commit
yourselves to nurturing our awesome gift of faith and seeing life through the eyes of our God – Father,
Son and Holy Spirit. To help us in this conversion process, we are encouraged to read Porta Fidei, which
Fr. Jim Meysenburg
Superintendent
in turn encourages us to study and pray the Documents of
Vatican II and The Catechism of the Catholic Church. As you
grow in your faith, please pray for the Pius X community to embrace this year of
faith with a great sense of trust and hope.
As this Year of Faith growth commences, our
diocese welcomes The Most Reverend James
Conley as the ninth Bishop of Lincoln and
gratefully thanks Bishop Bruskewitz for 22 years
of service. Bishop Conley came to meet our
students within an hour of the press conference
that announced him as our new Bishop. On the

and assure him of our prayers and support.

This fall, the Cardinal Newman Society named Pius X High School to the 2012 National
story and our universal call to continually conCatholic High School Honor Roll for excellence in Catholic Identity. Since 2004, the Honor vert our own hearts. Photo by Kally Werning.
Roll has recognized excellence in Catholic Identity, Academics and Civic Education at Catholic high schools across
the United States. In the past six years, Pius X was twice selected as one of the top 50 Catholic high schools in
the nation. In 2008, we were designated as an honorable mention school for Catholic Identity; this places
Pius X in the top four percent of all Catholic schools in the nation. How pleased and proud we are to
receive this honor. It is a reflection of our students, staff and families.
Speaking of being proud of our Pius X community, our fall activities have been wonderful, and our sports
teams have done well. The fall musical, Godspell, was enjoyable and captivating, and our marching band
competed with great success this fall. Our girls’ softball team was crowned Class B state champions; our
girls’ golf and our cross country teams were state runners-up in Class A. Our girls’ volleyball team placed 3rd at the Class A state tournament, and our students, cheerleaders, team and fans received the Class A
Sportsmanship Award at that tournament. Congratulations to all who participated in achieving this excellence.
With much gratitude to God, Pius X has 18 alumni in the seminary and four women alumni in religious
formation. What a blessing for all of us! Let us pray for them and each other as we begin this wonderful season of Advent/
Christmas; may we always be reminded that God came and still comes to us in unexpected ways. May we be grateful for
His loving presence.
Thank you for generously supporting Pius X through your prayers and works. May you know the love and healing of our
Savior in a very special way this Advent and Christmas Season.
Let us continue to pray for one another.

Talented Pius X Alumni Shine in the Performing Arts
D
ance. Acting. Television production. Casting and direction. Costume design. Music of all genres.
Over the past several years and from coast
to coast, Pius X alumni are achieving
great success in the performing arts and
entertainment industries.
A modern performing arts facility is
part of the overall strategic plan at Pius X
and for good reason. Whether it is band,
show choir, theater, dance or production, the quality of talent among Pius’
performing arts students over the years
has been second to none. Up to one third
of our current student population participates in music and theater alone, and
the number of opportunities for Pius X
students to use their God-given gifts continues to grow. Many of these students
who have honed their skills through their
experiences at the high school level have
gone on to use their talents in college and
in their future vocations.
This month’s Pius Connections offers only a sampling of the remarkable
achievements of Pius X alumni that are
pursuing their dreams in the performing
arts and entertainment industries around
the country. In the coming months, we
will be highlighting these and other individuals with in-depth profiles describing
their journeys in their respective fields,
and how their formation at Pius X and

passion for the arts is being manifested
in their lives. Be sure to check upcoming
issues of e-mail newsletters, the Pius X
Alumni web site, and the Alumni Facebook page for interviews, highlights and
stories of our alumni living and working
in the performing arts and entertainment
fields.
From Pius X to the Big Stage
Con O’Shea-Creal ’04 is convinced
that the entertainment industry needs
more people of faith in order to change
our society’s culture from the inside out. “We need good Catholic artists to be
present in this industry because so much
of what we think and believe is formed by
the media.”
A life-long performing artist in music,
dance and theater, including his time on
stage at Pius, O’Shea-Creal recently hit
a major milestone in his field when he
landed the lead role of Bert in the national tour of the musical Mary Poppins. The
company is currently on tour and will be
performing the musical in 48 cities in 30
states by this coming summer.
O’Shea-Creal credits his parents and
his formative years at Pius X for helping
him to stay true to his values and even
thrive in an often grueling and demanding industry. He describes the entertainment field as a “hot bed of progressive
thinking” that often is at odds with
Catholic beliefs. However, O’Shea-Creal
is convinced that the vocation he is pursuing is exactly where he needs to be.
“I’ve always had faith and confidence that
if God really wants me to do this he will
give me the strength,” he reflects. “And
we really do need Catholic artists out
there, even if it’s just one lone voice in the
wilderness.”
O’Shea-Creal notes that it’s rare that
you come across people of devout faith
in the secular entertainment industry,
which is all the more reason Catholic
performing arts students should thoughtfully discern if they are meant to pursue
this field. “We live in an era when people
want to be celebrities and have their
15 minutes of fame, and if you see the
theater as a means of that, it can be appealing,” he explains. “But working in the
arts really means asking: What are you
trying to craft? Like everything else, this
is a job. The more you craft the talent and
the gifts you’ve been given, that’s the kind
of focus and drive we need [in this business]. You should really feel called.”
O’Shea-Creal offers some additional
words of wisdom for young performing artists. “There is so much about this
industry and the culture that challenges
our faith, so don’t be afraid to ground
yourself,” he urges. “I have found my
faith to be actually very freeing in making
my decisions in my career because I have
a construct to work from.”
The successful performer also points
out that just because you are not working
in a faith-based environment does not
mean you have to check your religion at
the door. “I’m in a very secular show,” he
explains. “But you can be called to live
the Gospel in that way, too. Just be true
to your heart day to day. That’s true for
any job or really anything you choose to
do with your life,” he adds. “Life is more
than a good job and good money, and I
think Pius does a great job of promoting
that.”
An Investment in God-Given Gifts
As someone who benefitted greatly
from the many opportunities to hone
his craft during his high school years,
O’Shea-Creal is a strong proponent of
investing in the performing arts. “Giving
to the arts is an opportunity to provide
students a skill set that they can carry out
beyond high school,” he notes. “And to
do so, you need a good facility. I think especially now that arts are on the chopping
block [in many public schools], private
schools like Pius are going to need to step
up and help them grow.”
O’Shea-Creal notes that high school
athletics often garner more funding than
the arts, but believes that both extracurricular activities are equally important.
“What are we telling our children, that
we value one more than the other?” he
asks. “Not everyone is an athlete, although I did both. There are kids out
there that have these God-given gifts [in
the arts] and need the opportunity to discover and develop these gifts.”
Although O’Shea-Creal has hit the
high stage and is traveling all over the
country, his faith continues to be a primary source of peace and strength in his
life and career. “I try to find daily Mass
whenever I go to another new town,”
he says, adding that it is enjoyable to be
able to visit so many different Catholic
churches. “If I didn’t have my faith, I
truly would be lost out here on the road.
I cannot be more thankful to my parents
for giving me a Catholic education. I’ve
seen schools around the country and
none compare to Pius.”
After Years of Hard Work:
The Big Break
After dancer Joel Harrison graduated
from Pius X in 2000, he chose a road less
travelled. After many years of working on
his unique craft – clogging – he decided
to take a chance and open up his own
dance studio in York, Neb., helping to
train the next generation of dancers to
perform and compete.
In years prior, Harrison’s experiences as
a student at Pius X helped him develop
the seriousness, drive and determination

he needed to take the significant risk of
starting his own business at the young age
of 19. “I have so many awesome memories of my four years at Pius,” he reflects.
“But one thing that really sticks out in
my mind is always having the feeling of
acceptance from my peers, the faculty and
staff. Pius felt like – and still feels like –
the largest extended family in the world.” For Harrison, pursuing his dream of
working in the performing arts came
without hesitation. “I knew my path was
to become a dance teacher, trainer and
choreographer,” he explains. “What better way to get started than diving in head
-first by purchasing my own dance company.” The summer after his senior year,
Harrison took out a loan and bought a
dance studio. After what he describes as
“intensive advertising and marketing,” he
had more than 250 students enrolled the
following September.
Harrison also remained deeply involved
in the competitive clogging circuit where
he began competing at the age of 14.
“Now that I was training myself and others full-time, my teams started winning
top awards everywhere we went.” As the
years passed, Harrison became a recognized national dance instructor in his
field and began teaching at conventions
all over the world. He was the youngest
inductee into the International Clogging Hall of Fame, which resulted in
opportunities to direct productions from
Nashville, Tenn., to Myrtle Beach, S.C.,
and Hong Kong to Tokyo, Japan. Harrison also directed the opening ceremonies
of the Junior Olympics in Des Moines,
Iowa.
This past fall Harrison and his clogging group “All That!” exploded onto the
national stage as contestants on NBC’s
hit show America’s Got Talent, enthralling millions of fans around the country
and the world with their unique style
of dance. “The show was an incredible
experience that I will never forget as long
as I live,” Harrison says. “It constantly
challenged our creativity, our drive and
our capabilities. We all felt on top of our
game the whole time.”
While on the show, the audience and
judges routinely hailed the group’s talent
and appeal as they advanced to the semifinal round of the show. “I remember
when it hit me at first - I was standing
there on stage with my arms crossed,
and my nose one inch away from a 60’
x 40’American flag, knowing that, when
this flag comes flying up, it was game
time! We were getting ready to charge
into 11 million living rooms.” Although
the act did not win the first place title,
the national exposure garnered the dance
troop many new opportunities and millions of new fans.
Harrison and his fellow dancers are
true pioneers in the performing arts industry, having taken a centuries old craft
and transforming it into a modern style
with mass appeal. “There is not another
group of boys or dancers [like us] for that
matter in the world,” Harrison explains.
On November 24, the unique troop
garnered the 2012 Pioneer Award at the
National Clogging Association’s national
convention. Due to the enormous exposure from America’s Got Talent, they
are now traveling and performing on the
world stage, including a recent tour in
Tokyo, Japan and extended performances
at The Sandals resorts.
Never Forget to Give Thanks
Harrison has a great deal of encouraging thoughts for students who hope to
pursue the performing arts in high school
and beyond. “The best advice I would
give to a younger aspiring singer, dancer
or actor is to continue to train every day,”
he says. “Don’t only train yourself physically because often it’s your mental focus
that will get you furthest.” Harrison also
advises students to set personal goals and
make it a point to meet them often.
All of the fame and excitement of these
past several months has done little to
change Harrison’s love of his home town
and the connections he has made at Pius.

More Talented Pius X Alumni
Greg Coffey ’05 - During his days at Pius X, Coffey was immersed in the world
of music. “I really enjoyed being a member of the marching band and wind
ensemble,” he reminisces. “Mr. [Mike] Murphy is one of the
best music educators in the state and there is no doubt that I
learned a lot from him.” After graduation, Coffey earned his
degree from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, where he
was a member of the Nebraska Drumline, and then a Master’s
in Percussion from Kansas State. Then he was off to Nashville,
Tenn., where he is writing, recording and performing music,
including his first signature album, “Greg Coffey”, that can be downloaded from
I-Tunes (gregcoffeymusic.com). The talented performer credits his faith in God
and his teachers for his success. “Being a student at Pius X was an experience I
will always treasure,” he says. “Performing and creating music while honoring my
Lord and Savior will forever be an important part of who I am and what I am.”
Michael Petruconis ’87 - A self-described “band
geek” in high school, Petruconis received his
musical training from the University of Nebraska and the University of Minnesota. Before
moving to Minneapolis, Mike served for three
seasons in the Lincoln Symphony Orchestra.
“I believe the arts at Pius gave me a glimpse
into what it takes to pull off a good performance,” Petruconis says. “I saw how
hard the teachers and directors worked, and I saw how well a group of students
would come together for a common goal. Performing gave me a chance to push
for excellence.” He adds that he was not an athlete, so music was his main outlet
for training, practice, and setting goals. “Those things really taught me discipline,
hard work, and delayed gratification. They also taught me how to handle disappointment when it comes.” Petruconis is now an active freelance artist in the Twin
Cities metropolitan area. Formerly third horn with the Minnesota Opera, he now
performs frequently with the Minnesota Orchestra and the St. Paul Chamber
Orchestra and is on faculty at St. Olaf College. “My education at Pius was one of
the best gifts my parents gave me,” Mike reflects. “It gave me the foundation in
the faith that I would need both in adolescence and later in life.”
Nan Strait ’95 - On August 29, 2010, Strait was in a
New York hotel room in her pajamas watching the 62nd
Emmy Awards on television. The Executive Producer of
Bravo’s hit reality series “Top Chef” was working on Season 8 while her production colleagues were in Los Angeles at the ceremony that nominated their 6th season for
“Outstanding Reality-Competition Program.” It was the
4th nomination in a row, and in previous years she had
left empty handed. So Strait decided to stay in New York. Much to her shock and
delight, her production company Magic Elves was announced as the winner. “I’ll
admit I cried – mostly tears of joy – watching my friends and co-workers go up
on stage and get their award.” Strait offers a few simple words of advice: “If you’re
nominated for an award, go to the award ceremony.” Strait continues to enjoy
success in reality television, and has fond memories of her humble beginnings. “A
favorite memory of mine is the times I shared with my best group of girlfriends,
‘The Bevos’. We loved going to watch the boys play baseball. Three cars filled with
friends laughing about what happened last night, driving through rural Nebraska
with the windows down, and country music playing on the radio. Happy times!”
Strait also has carried with her throughout her career the values instilled in her at
Pius. “Most people believe that success in the entertainment industry comes by
being a cut-throat, ‘only out for yourself’ kind of person,” she says. “I was taught
as a child to be kind to everyone. That was certainly reinforced at Pius X and it
seems to have worked well for me in my professional life.”
In fact, Joel continues to train hundreds
of young dancers here in Lincoln at his
Capital City Dance Shack, a studio that
he and his family have managed since he
sold the one in York. In between all of
his traveling to do performances with the
Myrtle Beach-based “All That!”, Harrison
still calls Lincoln home.
Recently, he had the opportunity to
visit Pius to see how it has grown and

Elise Sievert ’04 - Moving to the east coast to pursue her
dream of being a professional dancer, choreographer and
teacher was a true leap of faith for Sievert. “I learned blind
faith and trusting in God’s plan at Pius X,” she reflects. “I
moved to New York with two suitcases and faith that I would
find my way while not having a job or an apartment.” The
move proved fruitful for Sievert, who began her adventure
with an internship at Broadway Dance Center before being asked to join a
professional company. She has performed with several companies and is currently
working on fitness videos, commercials, and television. Her secret? “Persistence,
hard work, also fine tuning your craft. And did I say persistence?” Sievert, like
her fellow performing arts alumni, urges support for the arts at the high school
level. “The arts are not only important for the development of a well-rounded
education for all students, but are especially important for the individuals out
there who need the tools to share their creativity,” she says. “The arts can be their
journey for success in a career where they can inspire others for a lifetime.”
Sean Murphy ’07 - Like many of his fellow performing artists, Murphy has been
captured by the lure of New York City, where he moved following graduation
from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln after receiving a
bachelor’s degree in Music in Bass Performance. Murphy performs in a R&B/soul band that plays regularly in Manhattan
and Brooklyn. “I love New York so far and can’t wait to see
what other opportunities it brings,” he says. “Last Christmas,
I played in a musical called Plaid Tidings. It was my first long
run of a show that I’ve ever done.” Murphy has also played at
an off-Broadway show as part of a theatre festival showcasing new musicals. “Pius
definitely helped me grow as a person and an artist,” he says of his alma mater. “I
am very grateful for how many groups and performances I was able to be involved
in...marching band, symphonic band, jazz band, show choir band, choir, and was
lucky enough to be in all four musicals.” Murphy adds: “Being able to play so
many different types of music, and singing was very important in making me a
better musician.”
Maureen Fitzgerald ’05 - Anyone involved in theater knows what it takes behind
the scenes to produce a quality performance, which is why directors, cast and
crew are equally respected and honored among their peers. Fitzgerald, a successful
costume designer for the Metropolitan Opera in New York City,
knows this all too well. “I got involved with the Pius Players as a
freshman and my first production was Godspell,” she recollects. “Although I would go on to perform in the shows in the
following years, my first job was as a part of the hair and makeup
crew.” It was there that Fitzgerald began to forge lifelong friendships. “I did Annie Leiter’s hair and makeup for Every Family Has One in 2002. I
did her hair and makeup for her wedding almost 10 years later.” Fitzgerald would
go on to be in every other main stage Pius Players production until graduation,
was a Thunderette, and spent her senior year singing, dancing, and choreographing as a member of Spectrum Singers show choir. It was not until she entered
Drake University as a BFA acting major that she “by happenstance” applied for
and was hired as a costume technical assistant, and went on to take costume design classes. After graduation, she was accepted into the University of Connecticut
MFA Costume Design program, under the guidance of Laura Crow, a Broadway
veteran, who would be instrumental in mentoring Fitzgerald and helping her to
break into the industry. “Although my time at Pius was primarily performance
based, it was also the beginning of my career as a costume designer,” Fitzgerald
reflects, adding that she designed and constructed a number of headpieces and
costumes for various Pius Players productions. “I was always the girl with a project, and it was at Pius that I realized I wanted a life in the Theatre.”
changed in the past 12 years, and to greet
some of his old teachers who enjoyed
watching their former student perform
before millions on television. Harrison
also continues to maintain the friendships
he holds so dear from his Pius X days,
and has enjoyed re-connecting with a
great number of classmates through social
media since his big national debut.
“Many of my best friends in the whole
world are those whom I roamed the halls
with in high school,” Harrison says. And
like many others who have graduated
from Pius, the young performer has held
fast to the faith that in part was formed
during his high school years as he has
pursued his career. “Always believe in
yourself and have faith in the Lord to lead
you to success,” he urges. “And never forget to give thanks to God every day.”

Your Support Builds
State-of-the-Art Chemistry Lab
by Sophia Werning
Pius X Chemistry students and
their teacher are finding the much
needed improvement in its chemistry lab to be more efficient and
creates a more conducive learning
environment. The upgraded,
modern lab space includes a
new teacher demonstration area,
modern student experiment stations, and many important safety
features including an eyewash,
emergency chemical shower, and
fume hood.
Chemistry students and their teachers
at Pius X High School returned to class
in August and were delighted to find a
freshly renovated laboratory filled with
new experiment stations and modern
equipment. This greatly needed upgrade
was made possible through successful
fundraising efforts conducted by the
school during the past year.
In the summer of 2011, Pius X High
School initiated a 3-phase plan to renovate its two aging chemistry labs due to
new curriculum changes by the state of
Nebraska requiring all high school students complete three years of science. The
labs at the school had not been modernized since the school opened its doors in
1956.
After receiving funding from grants
and benefactors, Pius X highlighted their
chemistry lab renovation during “Give to
Lincoln Day”, a one-day online fundraising endeavor on May 17, 2012. Through
this campaign, Pius X raised more than
$102,500 and finished in first place in the
total amount raised out of 187 nonprofits
that participated. Remarkably, because of
the demonstrated need to upgrade its aging labs, donors from all over the country
helped Pius X raise the highest amount
of online and offline funding among all
participating non-profits on “Give to
Lincoln Day”.
“I am glad to donate to the Chemistry
lab,” Pius X alumnus Wayne Schammel
said in his remarks
posted on the “Give to
Lincoln Day” website. “In 1966, I took
Chemistry at Pius with
Miss (Yvonne) Schlautman. This was a turning
point for me and led to
a career as a research chemist.”
Construction on the first of two chemistry labs began in the summer of 2012.
This much needed improvement provides
students and faculty with a more efficient,
modern lab environment which includes
an upgraded teacher demonstration table
and new student experiment stations.
An eyewash and emergency chemical
shower were added and a state-of-the-art
fume hood was installed. New cabinets,
desks and a handicapped accessible lab
station were added, as well as a new floor
and ceiling. Additionally, greatly needed
equipment storage and faculty office
space were constructed to adjoin the two
chemistry labs.
“With the new chemistry lab classroom, we’ve already outnumbered the
number of lab experiments done last year
by this time,” notes Sharolyn Schneider,
Science Department Chair at Pius X.
“Last year, only half the class could do
the experiment at a time, due to the lack
of lab tables and space.” On behalf of her
faculty, Schneider adds that she is deeply
appreciative of the generous support of
donors and benefactors who helped to
make the science department’s dream of a
new chemistry lab a reality.
“As the first phase of our chemistry
lab renovation came to completion, I was
struck by two aspects of the project,” Pius
X Principal Tom Korta reflects. “The first
aspect was how in all of our discussions
about the renovation, the focus always
came back to student learning. The second aspect is the tremendous outpouring
of financial support that we received from
the Pius family, the Lincoln community
and alumni supporters from across the
country.” Korta is confident that the goal
of impacting student learning will be
realized through this important facilities
improvement, both now and well into the
future. Pius X is continuing its effort with the
second and third phase of this important
project, which will include physical renovations to the second lab anticipated in
the summer of 2013, as well as the installation of computer technology units to be
used for research and virtual demonstration planned for the following summer.

Pius X Educators Study Bosnian Genocide
English teacher Sandra Sullivan and World Geography teacher
Shiela Sievert, pictured below at the fortress turret in Old
Town, Dubrovick, Crotia, and at left with students from the
Gimnazija Dobrinja High School in Sarajevo, spent part of
their summer immersiging themselves in the history and social
impact of the Bosnian Genocide of the 1990s and are now using the experience to enhance the learning experience for Pius
X students in their classes.
Two Pius X teachers explored the
historic and social impact of the Bosnian
Genocide of the 1990s this past summer.
Through a Fund for Teachers fellowship,
World Geography teacher Shiela Sievert
and English teacher Sandra Sullivan
travelled to Croatia and Bosnia to witness
how the Balkan people have dealt with
the aftermath of a modern genocide.
“Our objective was to immerse
ourselves in learning about the Bosnian
Genocide and the residual ramifications
of that conflict,” Sievert explains. “In
doing so, we will build a sense of compassion and empathy in our student body as
we have students at Pius X whose families
experienced the atrocities firsthand.”
Sullivan’s inspiration for the fellowship
stemmed from her observation that “most
of our student body lacks knowledge and
a sense of gravity regarding the history,
the changing geography, and the human conflict present in this region of the
world.”
The 12-day trip included visits to
landmarks and historical sites that told
the story of the events taking place in the
region. Sievert notes “while in Sarajevo,
we took a tour called ‘Times of Misfortune’ learning how people survived during the longest siege of a city in modern
history.”
Sullivan explains that during the four
year conflict, the residents of Sarajevo
took their lives into their own hands to
venture out for food, water, and fuel.
Citizens dug a tunnel under the airport to
transport food to the starving Sarajevians.
They also witnessed how this city used the
1984 Olympic Stadium as a mass grave
for those who died from sniper fire and
mortar shells.
“Our tour guide, Hassan, actually lived
8

through the day that
more than 11,000
Muslims were massacred. He escaped to
the surrounding hills,
walking in terror for five days without provisions to find a safe zone. This
firsthand account was chilling and to see
the memorial and thousands of marked
graves in which bodies and parts of bodies had been recovered from mass graves
was sobering,” Seivert recalls.
An uplifting part of the tour inlcuded
a visit to a Sarajevo high school. “We
shared and compared our educational
systems,” Sullivan says. “The students
were so delightful, and we believe they
understand how fortunate they are to
be in such a beautiful school. Only 20
years earlier, many of their older relatives
continued their education in the safe
basements of apartment buildings.”
Sievert and Sullivan’s educational tour
concluded in Split, Croatia, which was
turned into a city of refugees during the
Balkan War. This ancient city housed the
palace for Diocletian, one of the Caesars
of the Roman Empire. “It was amazing
to walk the streets, some of them literally
thousands of years old,” Sullivan notes.
The trip to the Balkans has made an
immense, lasting impact on each of these
educators, both personally and professionally. “Throughout our trip drivers,
tour guides, waiters, store clerks, and
hotel owners practically spewed their
personal stories,” Sievert explains.
Both teachers have expressed immense
gratitude to the Fund for Teachers for giving them the opportunity to understand
the history and present culture of the
Balkans, and to develop an appreciation
for the people of the region. They will be
using their experiences to directly impact
their students. Sievert has always covered
the Balkan region in her World Geography class, however, there is only a page
and a half dedicated to this very complex
region in her textbook.
“The fellowship cleared up questions
that I had regarding the people of this
region,” Sievert explains. “Now, I will be
more equipped to teach my students with
much more accuracy how and why ‘civilized’ people can act in such uncivilized
ways in today’s modern world.”
Sievert has instituted a Genocide Project where students research and present
on one of the genocides from the 20th
century. “These are important lessons for
our students so that the atrocities of history may never be repeated,” she adds.
Sullivan is using the experience in
several ways. She is introducing a piece
of literature that brings the history of
the region and empathy for the survivors
of the Balkan region to her curriculum.
The Cellist of Sarajevo is a moving story
of the plight of Sarajevians during the
siege of 1992-1996. The unit will contain
the historical background and first-hand
accounts and visuals that the teachers
collected from the region. The visit to the
assassination point of Arch Duke Ferdinand will provide material for the World
War I novel presently taught in Modern
Literature. In composition, her students
will have the opportunity to exchange
letters with the students of Gimnazija
Dobrinja High School in Sarajevo.

uring the Advent season, we are incredibly thankful for your extraordinary support over the
past year. Pius X High School and our students have reaped great benefits from the generosity of our benefactors. Following are some highlights from this year that would not have
been possible without your support.
• Thanks to our very generous benefactors who have established endowed funds or scholarships,
Pius X will be able to provide much needed financial aid to many students and their families
who would not be able to afford the cost of tuition. The Pius Foundation will be awarding
$32,000 in scholarships to 69 students for the 2012-2013 school year. • We have moved to Class A in many extra curricular sports and activities and, thanks to generous donors have completely refurbished one

• The endowment for Pius X continues to be of great assistance to the school’s financial budget.
We are grateful that $490,000 will be distributed to the high school for operating expenses for
the 2012-2013 school year. As of June 30, 2012, our endowment was valued at over $11.3 million. Our challenge is to keep Catholic education affordable. One of the primary ways of doing
this is by building our endowment. As our endowment increases, we are able to transfer more
to the high school each year!
• We have been blessed with a successful start to our annual Fund for Pius X campaign

possible only through ongoing and generous support of our local parishes, the Fund for
Pius X, our annual gala - BOLT, the Booster Club, and other fund raising efforts. As
of November 27, 2012, $259,569.72 has been received (74% of our $350,000 goal).
Thank you!
Lastly, please consider remembering Pius X High School when making your estate

Slattery Honored for Distinguished Stewardship

“Alan has always exercised his postion

necessary,” stated Karen Largen ’81, who
nominated Slattery for the award. “As a
married couple, the Slatterys are a perfect

Alan and his wife, Ruth, have served
on the BOLT Committee with Alan
being the Master of Ceremonies for the last three

“Through 40 years of

2013 Tax Changes Headed Your Way – Are you Prepared?
by Michelle Birkel
As we approach the end of the year,
many people are getting ready to make
gifts to their loved ones and/or charities
to help reduce their estates. If you have
been putting off creating an estate plan
or haven’t updated it in years, upcoming
changes in tax laws might lead you to
consider updating your plan before the
end of 2012. Analysts suggest that even if Congress acts before the end of the year, the
amount of wealth that you may pass on
to your children or grandchildren before
being subject to gift or estate tax will likely decrease. Thus the historically high gift
and estate tax exclusion amount ($5.12
million) in 2012 is largely considered a
“use it or lose it” opportunity to transfer
gifts in 2012 rather than leaving gifts to
your family by bequest in your will. Income and capital gains taxes will
both increase and the estate, gift and generation skipping tax (the shift of property
by gift or at death to a person who is two
or more generations below that of the
person granting the gift) exemptions will
change dramatically in 2013. The basic
exclusion amount (the amount you can
own before your estate is subject to estate
taxes) lowers from $5.12 million in 2012
to $1 million in 2013.
The top estate tax rate also increases
from 35 percent to 55 percent. Expected Tax Changes
Gift and Estate Tax
Exclusion “The Unified Credit”
Highest Gift and Estate Tax Rate
Annual Gift Tax Exclusion
Highest Capital Gains Tax Rate
Highest Income Tax Rate
Also, taxpayers considering a significant
charitable gift should be aware that it
may be more advantageous to make their
gift in 2012 because 2013 ushers back
in rules that limit itemized deductions at
certain adjusted gross income levels.
Federal Tax Laws Affecting
Estate Planning in 2013:
• Capital gains and income taxes raised:
Capital gains taxes will increase from
15 to 20 percent and the top income
tax rate has been raised from 35 percent in 2012 to 39.6 percent in 2013.
• Gift tax exemption lowers: The gift
tax exemption lowers from a $5.12 million exclusion amount to $1 million
in 2013. The top gift tax rate will rise
from 35 to 55 percent. The annual
gift tax exclusion (the amount you can
give to anyone gift tax-free each year)

Because of the tax-exempt nature of

may present income, capital gains, and
gift & estate tax benefits particularly for
those holding highly appreciated assets
like an IRA or agricultural real estate. To learn more about how the 2013 tax
changes may affect your family’s estate
plan and how a gift to the Pius Foundation through a charitable trust, IRA
designation, gift annuity, or bequest

New Scholarship Celebrates God’s Gifts
by Deb Hoge
A Pius X education is special in many
ways - academic excellence, opportunity
to discover ones talents and abilities,
development of the Catholic faith, our
relationship with the Holy Trinity, and
many other ways.
One alumnus, Rex Mudd ’61, believed
his Pius X education was
truly a ‘golden spoon’ in
life. “Our 50th reunion
struck me as being very
similar to life – much too
short,” Mudd wrote in a
letter to his classmates. “I
am struck by the accomplishments of our class – story after story
of the lives we have led show a pattern of
accomplishments by everyone.”
“I was not born with a golden spoon
but believe that we were all blessed with
the gold spoon given to us with a Pius
education and the Pius experience in
our critical formative years,” he contin-
ued. “While I believe we were a superior
class, I recognize we were not unique
when reading the accomplishments of
subsequent classes. I marvel how Pius X
turns out quality young men and women
ready to enter the real world. Few start
life with the advantage of the education
we received.” This past year, he ensured
that this same ‘golden spoon’, a Pius X
education, would be available and affordable for generations of Pius X students for
years to come by establishing the Golden
Spoon Scholarship.
For decades, Pius X students and
families have been blessed by those who
believe in the mission of Pius X and positive attributes of a Catholic education.
The endowed scholarships established
through the Pius X Foundation allow
many families, who may otherwise not
be able to afford a Catholic education, to
attend Pius X and develop and grow in
God’s love.
Mudd established the Golden Spoon
Scholarship to help students realize that
even though they may not have been
born into wealth or financial security,
each of them is born with unique talents,
demonstrated by their academic accomplishments.
Mudd asked that with the awarding
of the scholarship each year, the recipient will receive a certificate that includes
some very powerful truths: “The golden
spoon given to you by God is a fine mind
and a keen intellect. This scholarship
is for you to develop your mind, grow
your faith, develop your skills and most
of all enjoy your Pius experience as you
transition to adulthood. We salute your
achievement and hope that with continued success into the distant future you
may be inspired to help a similar outstanding student that would benefit from
a Pius X education.” Saturday • April 20, 2013
A
milestone was passed with last year’s BOLT event - in
the past 27 years, you have raised over $4 million
dollars for Pius X High School. We are blessed and humbled.
Your support of Kings, Queens, Bishops...BOLT 2012
provided Pius X with $242,000 in assistance with capital
improvements, reducing the debt on the new kitchen
expansion, and providing support for the Booster Club. The
funds raised at this year’s event will continue to retire the
kitchen debt and support Pius X sports and activites through
the Booster Club.
Please save the date and join us on Saturday, April 20, 2013,
as Pius X High School hosts the 28th annual BOLT benefit
dinner and live and silent auctions. We are excited to
announce the theme for this spring’s gala, “BOLT Creating
a Masterpiece”. Our gifted volunteers are sketching out
inspired ideas and preparing our paint palettes to make
it an evening to remember. We have wonderful auction
items as well as the famous lottery, with cash prizes totaling
$15,000. We are sure you will not want to miss the party.

e are extraordinarily proud to have been able to
pass on the legacy of Catholic education to our
children. As native rural Nebraskans with large
families educated in much smaller Catholic schools, we know
how much our parents sacrificed to support our education.
And, we know that Catholic education is a natural extension
of the values and behaviors that we in turn as parents have
strived to instill in our own children.
It is with gratitude and thanksgiving to God for the gift of
Catholic faith to our families, that we support Pius X, so
that Catholic education can be made accessible and an
enduring legacy for other families as well.

W
e feel truly blessed to be able to educate our
six children within the Catholic Schools of the
Lincoln Diocese. Educating future leaders for our
community and country is critical in these times of rapid
cultural changes. Our children have had the opportunity
to be taught by wonderful and dedicated Priests, Sisters,
teachers and staff, for which we are grateful.
The schools have been very affordable because of the
Diocese’s commitment to support Catholic education. We know that tuition covers only a small portion of the
total costs of this education. Contributing to the annual Fund for Pius X is a way we
thank God for this blessing.

impact of Pius is timeless.

Dr. Michael Sullivan ’68
Honored as Outstanding Alumnus
by Deb Hoge
“As a young cousin to Mike (Dr.
Michael Sullivan ’68), it was clear to me
that he was an excellent role model,”
wrote Rick Sullivan in his nomination of
his cousin for the Outstanding Alumni
Award. “I was first drawn in by his
athletic abilities and then became aware
that he was also very humble for a kid
with his talent.”
Dr. Sullivan was honored as the 2012
Outstanding Alumnus for Pius X High
School on Sunday, Aug. 19, 2012, at the
annual Friends of Pius X Appreciation
Reception.
Michael was born in Lincoln, Neb.,
in 1950. Along with his two sisters, he
attended Blessed Sacrament School.
For two years, he then pursued the
discernment process for the priesthood at
Our Lady of the Ozarks Minor Seminary
in Carthage, Mo. Michael returned to
Pius X High School for his junior and
senior years. He earned a combined
academic/athletic scholarship to Regis
College in Denver, Colo., where he
graduated as valedictorian in 1972.
“Mike had many achievements when
we were young,” commented Linda Sullivan, Mike’s cousin. “But one in particular
that should not go unnoted was his acting
skill, as demonstrated in his memorable
performance as Marryin’ Sam in the 1967
Pius X production of L’il Abner. By all
accounts, Mike stole the show.”
Pursuing a medical career on a U.S.
Navy scholarship, Michael graduated in
1975 with his MD from the University
of Nebraska, and in 1978 completed a
residency in Internal Medicine in New
Orleans, La. After serving four years in
the U.S. Navy, he worked in private practice for the Geisinger Medical Center in
Danville, Pa.
Michael had a profound, life-changing
spiritual experience in Medjugorge, Yugoslavia in 1990. This experience changed
the course of his life, and the lives of
many, even thousands, of others, forever.
In 1994, together with his wife, Gianna, the Mission of Mercy was launched.
Mission of Mercy is an independent,
community-based organization dedicated
to providing “healing through Love”.
Through 16 mobile medical clinics and
many medical and non-medical volunteers, Mission of Mercy provides free
medical and dental services and prescription medications to uninsured working
poor, homeless and economically disadvantaged people. Now in its 19th year,
the Mission of Mercy has served more
than 85,000 patients in four states.
“It’s been many years since I’ve had the
Dr. Michael Sullivan ’68 (left) accepts the 2012 Pius X Outstanding Alumnus Award from Michelle
Birkel, Director of Development, and Fr. Jim Meysenburg, Superintendent.
good fortune to see my cousin in person,
but I can certainly say that our entire
family is inspired by what he’s doing for
other people,” Rick continued to write.
“He’s a talented doctor, but his medicine
is secondary in his work to his love and
respect for Christ’s people.”
While Mission of Mercy seeks out and
helps those who “fall through the cracks”
of our traditional health care system,
their mission statement focuses beyond
medical care to restore dignity and
provide “healing through love.”
For Michael and Gianna, healing the
spiritual wounds are as important or
even more important than providing
medical treatment. “Although a wide
variety of medical and dental services for
acute and chronic conditions, diagnostic
studies and procedures both on site and
in conjunction with area hospitals and
clinical specialists, and medications are
provided free of charge...our true product
is love, not mere human love, but God’s
love,” Michael and Gianna wrote in
an essay entitled Where Does God Fit
Into This For You? The complete essay is
available on the Mission of Mercy web
site: amissionofmercy.org.
“My brother had a life changing
spiritual experience that also inspired
my husband Dave and I to deepen our
Catholic faith,” said Maureen Liddle,
Mike’s sister. Dave and Maureen were so
moved that they accepted an invitation to
become part of Mission of Mercy, moving
their family from Seattle to Pennsylvania.
Mike’s daughter, Chelsea (who has a
one-year old son, Jaxson), explained the
Mission of Mercy and her father’s service
to others. “His patients come to Mission
of Mercy seeking medical care, but leave
with so much more because respect,
dignity, and love have healing powers
too. My father’s vision and example have
inspired the staff and volunteers and have
impacted the lives of countless patients.”
His daughter Anne Marie agrees.
“He really cares for all of his patients
and loves them. Yes, my dad helps his
patients with their medical needs, but
he also does everything he can to help
them emotionally and spiritually as well,
whether that means telling a joke to put a
smile on their faces or praying with them
and for them.”
“I cannot tell you how many awards
Mike has received for his work as Mission
of Mercy have none listed on its web
site,” Rick continued. “In fact, you’ll have
a hard time finding any information on
Mike at the web site and I might guess
that’s the way Mike thinks it should be.”
Mike’s award biography pays tribute to
what he values most. “Through this journey, Dr. Sullivan came to recognize and
appreciate the strong foundation in faith
that was laid in his family home, Blessed
Sacrament School and Pius X High
School. Unfortunately, he drifted from
his faith for nearly twenty years. Through
pain, suffering, loss and tears, he was
brought to his knees, and discovered that
all he had been given would be so much
more fruitful when shared and offered in
God’s love and for His greater glory.”

Through the Uprights
Pius X Alumnus Greg Zuerlein Turns Heads in the NFL
by Sophia Werning
He’s living the dream that was predicted in the pages of the Pius X yearbook
where he was named: Most likely to become a professional athlete. This past April, Greg Zuerlein ’06 was
drafted in the 6th round of the National
Football League by the St. Louis Rams.
And during his first season, he wasted no
time showcasing his remarkable talent
as a football kicker, setting personal and
NFL franchise records.
That’s Just How We Grew Up
Zuerlein is the youngest of five children born to Eugene and Eileen Zuerlein.
He and his siblings - John ’97, Monica
(Hansen) ’97, Sarah ’99 and Colleen ’02
- attended St. Joseph School and Pius X.
Greg describes his upbringing as an environment grounded in the strong connections of family, friends and faith.
“We all grew up in the same neighborhood within a block of each other,” Zuerlein says describing childhood friends.
“And we still get together and hang out
when I’m back home.” His Catholic faith
is part of the bond that continues in his
relationships today. “Being Catholic,
everyone has the same general thought
process in what I would say was a sheltered environment. That’s just how we
grew up.”
Zuerlein was a serious student who
pursued academics as well as soccer and
football in high school. It was during
those years, he garnered the nickname
“Greg The Leg”, a calling card now being
used in national sports media to encapsulate the tremendous strength and remarkable length of his kicks.
“I have absolutely no idea who started
it,” Zuerlein says with a chuckle. “But
sometime during my sophomore year,
when I first started playing varsity, I
would go out to kick and fans would start
shouting over and over ‘Greg the Leg!’”
But Zuerlein was equally committed
to playing soccer year round. Head coach
Tim Aylward has discouraged this over
the years because club soccer and football
seasons coincide.
“I kind of had an idea he was playing,
but it was a ‘don’t ask, don’t tell” situation,” Coach Aylward says with a smile.
Zuerlein confirms this was the case, noting that he would sneak in soccer matches
on the weekends, working around his
Pius X football responsibilities.
“It was great having Greg on the team”
Aylward recalls. “He was a great competitor, and worked hard at being a top level
kicker. We knew that anytime we got past
40 yards we had a chance to score.”

And
score they
did.
During
Zuerlein’s
high
school
career that
began in
2003, Pius
X won
a state

in 2004,
and were a

and 2005 seasons. Rounding out his
athletic successes, he also was part of the
2006 Pius X state soccer championship
team.
You have to do things a little differently
Zurelein’s favorite memories of Pius
include football and soccer practices. “It
was going on the field with all the guys
every day, working hard to win games,”
he reflects. “We had a lot of fun out there
and developed a lot of good friendships.”
He maintains connections with Dan
Gonnerman, Anthony Kohel and Andrew
Reifenrath, all 2006 graduates, and teammate Paul Aylward, Zuerlein’s football
place holder during his junior and senior
years. “I was supposed to be in [Paul’s]
wedding but because of [NFL] fall camp I
could not be in Lincoln,” Zuerlein says.
Zuerlein then played three seasons at
the University of Nebraska-Omaha before transferring to Midwestern Missouri
State. That year, he set an NCAA record
with 21 consecutive field goals, including
two from 58 yards.
Zuerlein credits his education and faith
formation at Pius X with an “extremely
large effect” on his life during college.
“Pius is a great school,” he says. “When
I got to college, I felt more than adequately prepared academically.” The values he learned at Pius X were a grounding
factor. “Going from an all Catholic high
school to a public college, you realize not
everyone has the same views,” Zuerlein
reflects. “You have to do things a little
differently from what everyone else is
doing. Pius helped instill in
me that it’s okay to believe
what we believe and to not
go along with what everyone
else may be doing.”
It’s Well Within His Range
When Zuerlein was drafted
by the St. Louis Rams, he
began turning heads as early
as training camp, making
50+ yard field goals appear
routine. Before the season
began, he kicked a 64-yarder,
astounding his coaches
and pre-season observers.
Rams’ Head Coach Jeff
Fisher did not hesitate to
call on Greg to attempt
a 60-yard field goal on
Sept. 30, 2012, in a close
contest with the Seattle
Seahawks. The historic
kick instantly placed Greg
in the NFL record books
as one of only 11 kickers to ever achieve
that range in a game and the first ever
to hit two field goals over 50 yards in a
single game.
“I was on the headsets and I said, ‘Field
goal,’ and somebody said ‘Field goal?’”
Fisher says. “I said, ‘Yeah, it’s only 60. It’s
well within his range.’”
“It really wasn’t any different from any
other kick,” a humble Zuerlein recalls
having a second shot at a very rare accomplishment. “I was just so excited to
get another opportunity to attempt it.
I’ve only made two attempts in a game
- the first one was at a Pius vs. Norris
game and we had a lot of wind so that got
blocked.”
“Coach Fisher gave me that opportunity, and I am so grateful for that. And
Coach Aylward did it at Pius.”
How does it feel to be drafted into the
NFL and to be in the national spotlight?
“Everyone in my family was really excited, and it wouldn’t be different from
everyone else,” Zuerlein says, adding
with a chuckle: “My brother was kind of
shocked. He continues to say that there
are only 32 NFL kickers in the world,
and he can’t believe I’m one of them.”
Zuerlein has some advice to current
students who are aspiring athletes. “The
most important thing is to believe in
yourself and your ability. Sometimes,
things will not go your way, and people
may not believe in you. Then, you start to
doubt your ability, and want to give up.
You have to really believe and know you
can do it.”
