focuses on learning and teaching through a combination of educational excellence, extracurricular opportunity and authentic Catholic teaching. Yet what I am
speaking to is not about being a straight A student,
winning a state championship, or memorizing word for

Church history.
y What I am referring to is what St

academically, participating in extracurriculars, and
engaged within a setting that is not just Catholic by
name but authentically Catholic through and through.
I believe the results of this uniqueness are graduates
who have been given the tools for a lifetime of learning, are confid
f ent in themselves, and are grounded
with a strong set of values.

Mr. Bach Makes ImPACt!
Mr. Andrew Bach has been busy since
becoming the high school principal this
fall. Just recently he formed the Principal
Alliance Committee (PAC). Two boys
and two girls from each grade were chosen by the administration based on staff
recommendations to find representatives
of the general student body with a combination from all walks of student life.
PAC differs from Student Council as
they will focus more on school policies,
procedures, scheduling needs and school
climate. Pictured are members on the
high school (grades 9-12) PAC (l-r) seated: Carly Hoffmann, daughter of 'DYLG¶ and Mary; Mr. Andrew Bach and
Bailey Rutscher, daughter of Steven and 6XVDQ 3DXOVRQ¶. Second row (l-r): Tanisha Goblirsch, daughter of Kurt

John ¶ and 5HQHH +DQVRQ ¶; Dalton Meyer, son of Ernie and Missi; Logan Steffensmeier, son of John Lux
¶and Krista Gent; Cole Owens, son of Wendy Owens and Steve Owens and Caleb Berg, son of Chad and Cindy.
Other members not present for the photo are Abby Johnson, daughter of Carly and Deanna; Holly Moldaschel, daughter of Ron Moldaschel and Lisa Lax; Aaron Bruggeman, son of -RH¶and Carol; Cory Schumacher, son of Dean
¶and Julie and Drew Chmelar, son of Charles and Julie. This committee includes two reps from the Student Council: Megan Helget, daughter of Rick and %HFN\:DJQHU¶and Jim St. Peter, son of Jim and Chris. There is also a
PAC for the junior high (grades 7 & 8) with eight members serving as an advisory board. As members of these committees our students will have the opportunity to develop their leadership skills, interpersonal relationships, debate skills and
increase their investment in the school through an increased voice.

lessly into my vocation and my life. I get an immense
thrill, lots of excitement and true fulfillment out of
coaching. Admittedly, I have experienced a steep learning curve coaching college football and working with
kickers but I love it! It is great seeing football from the
inside. I have such respect for our coaching staff and our
student athletes. The amount of dedication, work and
effort that goes into it game after game after game is astonishing. I am awfully proud of who and what we are
as a football team.
The story of my role as kicking coach at the College of
St. Scholastica (CSS) made quite a splash. It started out
simple enough with the local Duluth news outlets doing
stories on the opening of camp for the 2014 football season. From there my position as kicking and punting
coach with the Saints exploded. It made the Minneapolis
Star Tribune, the New York Times, Sports Illustrated (on
-line), Fox News Network's
Fox and Friends, Currents a
Catholic television daily news
show in Brooklyn, NY, and the
Catholic News Service, which
goes to more than 200 outlets
in the U.S. and abroad.
All of the media attention has
been pretty amazing and sometimes overwhelming. Who
knew simply doing something I
loved would garner such interest! I am so grateful for the
positive publicity it has brought
to the College of St. Scholastica, Saints Football and St.
Scholastica Monastery. (Plus

former players. My own vocation has been enriched and
my commitment to the Lord strengthened. My gratitude
and joy in the Lord is flourishing!
My connection to the football
team began because I wanted
to stay involved with sports. I
came to the monastery around
the same time that football
started at CSS. The football practice field is directly behind our monastery and I found myself drawn by the

from the sidelines or walk around the field praying my
Rosary. After time, I became a fixture at most practices
and eventually I forged a relationship with the players
and coaches and attended most games.

and the importance of Catholic School education. He gave
an equal amount to each of the high schools in the diocese

these schools as either their Principal or Pastor. Every
year of his active priesthood was spent in a parish with a
Catholic School. He therefore had the opportunity to touch
the lives of many, if not most of the youth and their parents in those parishes. Msgr. Wyffels saw our Catholic
schools having a unique opportunity to pass on the Catholic Faith and form young people with strong moral virtues.
