August 2016
Dear Alums and Friends of St. Patrick-St.Vincent High School,
“Do not have any anxiety about the future. Leave everything in God’s
hands for he will take care of you.” St. John Baptist de La Salle
While it is easy to read this quote, it is much more difficult to
practice in everyday life. These words from St. John Baptist de La
Salle provide a sense of comfort for each of us as together we face
the many challenges of our world today. Change is never easy, and
yet if we believe that God will take care of us, we can move forward
each day, doing His work.
This year at St. Patrick - St. Vincent High School we have welcomed
change, trusting that God would provide for the needs of our
community, and knowing that we had the support of our Alumni
and friends. Often change is messy, and this year was no exception,
however through the Divine Providence of God we stand here today
grateful, and pleased with the outcome. And with gratitude to our
Lord, and to our community, we are well positioned to serve the next
generation of students at St. Patrick-St. Vincent High School.
Principal Notes
Words from Dave Perry
In the previous edition of The Bridge I announced that we had identified our new Principal, Mrs. Coleen Martin. In
this edition you will have the opportunity to “meet” Coleen, as well as our new Assistant Principal Dr. Doug Evans
and our new Dean, Patrick Vogelpohl. This new administrative team, in conjunction with our amazing faculty and
staff, have prepared a solid foundation for the future growth of our beloved school.
In addition to the wonderful things happening daily in our school, there have been many wonderful events that have
supported the daily operation of our school. This year, our 3rd Annual Winemaker’s Dinner welcomed our largest
crowd ever, and exceeded our fundraising expectations as well. We elected a wonderful new group of Hall of Fame
members, and announced at the event the kickoff our campaign to fund an endowed scholarship in the name of our
beloved Millie Duvall SV‘85.
I hope that this edition of The Bridge allows you to catch up on all that is going on in the life of
St. Patrick - St. Vincent High School. If you have not been on campus in a while, I hope that this inspires you to
make a visit...I would love to show you around, and tell you all about the many wonderful things that are happening
each day...the things that your prayers and generosity support!
In the peace of St. Patrick and St. Vincent,
Dave Perry

Meet the New Administrators
In The Three Musketeers, Alexandre Dumas writes, “All
for one and one for all, united we stand divided we fall.”
That can also be said for Coleen Martin, Doug Evans
and Patrick Vogelpohl--SPSV’s new principal, assistant
principal and dean, respectively. This team of three
believes in helping all students feel at home at SPSV
while also pushing them to excel in our classrooms and
beyond.
What brought you to St. Patrick-St. Vincent (SPSV)
High School?
Coleen Martin (CM): My parents fostered my
dedication to Catholic education. I continued to nurture
my commitment when I made the decision to send
my children to Catholic elementary school. While I
served as a public school teacher and administrator
for seventeen years, last year I felt drawn to an
administrative position at a Catholic school. Dave Perry
and I were colleagues years ago, and we share a lot of
the same beliefs in Catholic education. Once he took
the position at SPSV, he mentioned he was looking for
a principal. Then we engaged in many conversations
about SPSV and, once I visited the school and saw the
job posting, I applied. I felt as though my prayers for
professional renewal were answered.
Doug Evans (DE): I love what Catholic education
can do. We have the power to transform lives and
shape what children learn. I’ve also held a number of
leadership positions in a Catholic high school setting
and I was eager for a new challenge. I completed a
doctoral dissertation related to professional development
and wanted to be in a position where I could apply
that skill and knowledge more directly. In addition, the
charisms of both the Dominicans and the Irish Christian
Brothers had a strong impact on both my professional
and spiritual identity. SPSV’s historical relationship with
those orders was compelling for me.
Patrick Vogelpohl (PV): First, the students and staff are
dynamic and kind. Every student and teacher I met while
interviewing was incredibly nice and passionate about
SPSV. Second, Dave Perry assembled an administrative
team that is perfect for this school. He, Coleen Martin
and Doug Evans are focused on doing what is best for
our students. The four of us spend considerable time
debating how our decisions affect all Bruins. You just
don’t find such collaboration at many schools. Third and
finally, much of my father’s family lives in Benicia, and
I spent a ton of time right off I-780 when I was a kid. I
grew up in Fairfield and went to public schools, but my
parents always wanted to send me to SPSV. So I had to
take the job!
3
Coleen, the president-principal model of
administration is fairly new to SPSV. Can you tell us
how it works?
CM: My predecessor was here for 10 years and handled
everything from the budget to everyday academic life.
The new model of president and principal in separate
roles allows me to handle the day-to-day academic
and student needs so Dave can focus on fundraising,
advancement, admissions and networking in the
community.
You now have almost a full school year under your
belt at SPSV. What have you been able to do so far?
Do different aspects of your job require more of your
attention right now?
DE: As with any new job, there’s always some ramp up
time. Aside from the day-to-day expectations, you come
in to a new job and want to make changes that will work
for you. You also need to find a balance between making
changes that you know will be successful while keeping
enough order so that our veteran faculty and staff are
still comfortable.
The good news is that I love multitasking and I’m
very big on committees and teamwork. One of the things
I did early on at SPSV is beef up several committees,
including technology, counseling, academic review
board, and campus ministry.
The tech committee is new and chaired by our
phenomenal Jay McCabe, SPSV’s head of educational
technology. The counseling committee is also new and
includes Patrick Vogelpohl and Lane Hawkins, our
athletic director. We meet once a week and focus on
implementing turnaround strategies for the students who
are failing classes. Our academic review board focuses
on overseeing each students’ academic progress.
These committees have helped our school
tremendously, but because we have other teachers and
staff assuming leadership roles in them, I’ve been able to
focus a big portion of my time this year on revising our
course catalog. I’m really excited for next school year
to start because we’re adding a number of UC-approved
courses, including: AP Government and Politics, Wind
Ensemble, Ceramics, Studio Editing and a host of PE
offerings.
PV: As dean, safety and discipline are top priorities, and
that won’t change. However, I want students to see me
as a resource. I’m here to help navigate conflicts with
teachers and classmates. I’m here to listen to ideas about
how to make SPSV better - and to help some of these
ideas come to life. But all of this takes more than a year.
The Bridge — St. Patrick - St.Vincent High School
What are some of your goals for your tenure here at
SPSV High School?
CM: I view myself as the day-to-day spiritual and
academic leader for the SPSV community (students,
parents, and staff), and I’m focused on making sure our
students are well rounded, spiritually and academically.
CM: Every new school year is an opportunity to build
a community that I feel is best for my own children as I
am serving the children of others. I want a school that’s
advancing in the ever-changing world of technology and
academics. I want for that school to be the top school in
its community. It’s important to me that students are well
rounded spiritually and academically. SPSV has given
me a golden opportunity to share my Catholic faith and
academic philosophies.
DE: Helping make dreams accessible.
PV: I do all I can to help all of our kids become healthy,
happy and intellectually curious adults--even the ones
that need extra help.
What is the biggest challenge and biggest opportunity
you face in your SPSV position?
DE: The biggest challenge I see also happens to be
the biggest opportunity. Long story short, a lot of
our students need to dream bigger. We have so many
students who are capable of so much more than they
hope to accomplish both now and down the road. We
have a lot of students who are comfortable dreaming big
when it comes to athletics but I want to see them dream
bigger with college, jobs, and life beyond SPSV. Don’t
let the fear of failure stop you from dreaming.
Also, there’s a lot of scholarship money that we’re
leaving on the table. We are not sending enough students
to small, private schools such as St. Mary’s College,
USF, Santa Clara and Loyola Marymount. Frequently
these schools offer very generous scholarships and can
be cheaper than a UC once financial aid is taken into
account.
The opportunity I see for myself at SPSV is to
transform lives and enable our students to dream bigger.
I will take any kid that’s willing to work and we will get
them into a four-year college.
PV: The big challenge is getting some students to do
another sixty minutes of homework a night. By doing
so, many B students could become B-plus or even
A-minus students. Just a little more effort could lead to
more college acceptance letters with better financial aid
packages.
Our big opportunity lies in our diversity. Every school
day, kids of all colors and economic backgrounds
come to SPSV and work together without issue. The
overwhelming majority work very well in a wide range
of groups and environments. So for me, here is the
opportunity: Let’s get more Bruins into colleges seeking
students that will thrive in an increasingly diverse world.
Excellent schools across the country are looking for kids
like ours.
Summer 2016
DE: I believe the educational mission of the Church is to
teach students to know and love Jesus. Catholic schools
transform both minds and hearts. Catholic high schools
reach young people at a pivotal point of growing reason
and curiosity. At this stage, we can plant the seeds for a
truly adult appropriation of the faith.
I believe strongly that Catholic education should do
more than simply better the situation of one generation.
Rather, Catholic education has the power to transform
the world by instilling in its graduates a passion for
service and justice, and giving them the intellectual and
leadership skills needed to be true agents of change.
As leaders, we need to provide a safe, encouraging
environment for our SPSV students to learn. Quality
discipline, which holds students accountable for their
behavior, teaches them the consequences of their actions
and ensures a safe learning environment. Good schools
push students to achieve above and beyond what they
may perceive as limiting factors. My goal is to maintain
an environment where the entire community - teachers,
parents, coaches, counselors, and administrators - work
together to safeguard the success of students while
incorporating skill-and project-based learning to provide
an education for the twenty-first century.
These goals are coupled with an understanding that
education comes with an obligation and a responsibility
to use one’s talents and gifts to improve the world.
We must instill a yearning for peace and justice in our
students, as well as an understanding of their role in the
larger, global community.
On Campus
If you had to describe your position in one sentence,
what would that sentence be?
PV: First, I want all of our students to feel like they fit
in at SPSV. Not 97% of students. Not 99% of students.
Not just the kids from parochial elementary and middle
schools. All of them. I don’t care if this sounds like an
impossible goal. We have to try to achieve it.
Also, SPSV’s counselors work hard to prepare
students and parents for the college admission process
and the financial aid hunt. But they need help. They
can’t do it all. Doug Evans and I want to help our
counselors to expand their efforts. We have the talent
and capacity to offer more information throughout the
year.

On Campus
You all come from different
settings and positions ones that are quite a bit
different than your current
SPSV seats. How has it
been so far?
CM: I feel as though this
year has taken me on a
spiritual and professional
journey more powerful
than I could ever have
anticipated. Although I
grew up going to private
Catholic schools, my career
stemmed in the public
sector. Being a Catholic
educator in a public setting, I was not gifted with the
opportunity to share my faith along with my educational
philosophies as I am here at
St. Patrick- St. Vincent High School.
I have been blessed with tremendous support from
both the SPSV community as well as from the Diocese
of Sacramento. The faculty and staff at SPSV are
focused on spiritually and academically developing
students into successful young adults. The new
administrative team has come together sharing the
common goal of always putting students first and
celebrating student success. The diocese has extended
their hand in providing guidance in everything from
liturgical celebrations to professional development
opportunities to support with everyday questions
regarding personnel and volunteer staff.
SPSV and the Diocese of Sacramento provide
supportive and nurturing environments for all of their
community members. These two entities have made my
transition to St. Patrick-St. Vincent a smooth transition.
DE: I believe my strength in transition is my power of
seeking advice from other people. The nice thing about
Catholic education is that people are always willing
to help. If I don’t know how something works, I don’t
hesitate to figure it out. The faculty and staff at SPSV
have been an invaluable resource. If I see another school
having success with a particular program, I find out how
it works so that we can implement similar, successful
programs at SPSV. Over the last year, I’ve met with
many of the other Catholic high schools in our area to
review best practices and see where and how we can
strengthen our SPSV programs.
In addition to the committee and course catalog
changes we talked about earlier, there are a lot of other
adjustments I’ve helped implement.
PV: Before accepting this position, I was teaching
college English. Transitioning out of the classroom
has been fine, so far. My teaching style was studentfocused. I was good at finding each student’s intellectual
strengths and weaknesses. Then I’d work with them to
build on both. Being a dean isn’t much different. Now I
just have more students. But no grading!
5
Tell us about your families. Do you have any children?
What are they doing?
CM: I come from a family of three where I’m the only
child to earn an undergraduate and master’s degree. I’ve
been married since 1997 to a man I met when I was 15
years old. We have a daughter in seventh grade who’s a
swimmer and water polo player. She finds peace in the
water and is so excited to start the aquatics programs
here at SPSV. Our son is in fifth grade and loves soccer,
basketball and swimming. We have an incredible
extended family but we’re the only ones in California. I
think that’s made my family of four very tight knit.
DE: I have have a busy home life. I’ll be celebrating
my fouteenth wedding anniversary in August with my
wife Anna. Professionally she has worked for the church
and is currently a hospice volunteer coordinator and
chaplain. She recently finished a Doctorate in Ministry
at St. Louis University.
I have two sons. Lawrence is currently at a Montessori
preschool and will be attending St. Philip in Alameda
with his brother next year. Rex is in third grade at St
Philip and loves dinosaurs - pretty fitting for his name.
His dream is to be a paleontologist. In fact, we went to
L.A. over Spring Break and had two major stops. The
first was Disneyland where my son Lawrence (after
the World of Color show) whispered in awe, “magic IS
real.” The next stop was the Natural History Museum
and I think Rex enjoyed that more than the world of
Mickey!
As a family we love to travel, but camping is where
it’s at. The boys love dirt. With camping, Anna and I can
let them run amuck without worrying if they’ll break
hotel lamps.
PV: I married my beautiful and charming wife Joanna
in 2007. We have two boys. Charlie is six and one of the
coolest kids in the world. He spends his time drawing,
free-building Lego creations and is a cartoon aficionado.
He is destined for art school. Then there is Henry, our
two year old. Henry is a three-foot-tall hurricane that
will probably spend significant time in his dean’s office.
But he actually has great manners.

Dear Friends and Benefactors,
Thank you to each of you who so generously contributed to our Annual Appeal and other fundraising efforts
for St. Patrick - St. Vincent High School during the 2014 - 2015 school year. While there are signs nationally that
the economy is improving, the lasting effects of the recession are still present, and we understand the challenges
that still exist for many of our brothers and sisters. With that in mind, I am very grateful for your continued support.
We know how blessed we are in our work, and the many benefits bestowed upon our students, because of your
contributions.
In this Annual Report portion of The Bridge, you will see charts and graphs related to the budget of the school,
sources of income, and percentages of expenditures. Your contributions, small or large, makes a difference. As
you have heard in the past, the percent of participation of our various constituent groups is critical not only for our
school, but as an indicator to outside groups who may be asked to support our school. Our faculty and staff led the
way once again.
I also want to thank our various support groups whose events help to defray expenses for the school. Our Catholic
School Advisory Commission, the Parents’ Club, the Board of Regents, and the Boosters all work to make that
critical difference. Whether helping to update our campus or supporting our growing student financial assistance
programs, these groups continue to establish a strong foundation for the School’s future. Parental service hours
helped to sustain many of the fundraising efforts of these groups.
On behalf of the students, faculty and staff, I thank you for your gifts. Know that you are remembered in our daily
prayers as we recall our SPSV family near and far.
In the peace of St. Patrick and St. Vincent,
Dave Perry
President
Office of Advancement
Annual Report — St. Patrick - St.Vincent High School
This issue of The Bridge celebrates our Graduates from the Class of 2015. We are also introducing our new
administrative team who are about to start their second school year with us. These are some of the most intelligent
and energetic people I have had the pleasure of working with here at SPSV. I was thinking about the changes that
have been made in the last three years. Though change is uncomfortable I think these past few years have allowed
us to assess what we do as a school and how we can best allocate our resources to benefit today’s student.
At St. Patrick - St. Vincent High School we are a part of a long legacy of; Tradition + Transition = Transcendent.
Transcendent is defined by Oxford English Dictionary as 1.1 Surpassing the ordinary; exceptional.
The last of Our Dominican Sisters of San Rafael have moved back to their primary residence in San Rafael. This
year, in place of our Hall of Fame, we will honor all of these wonderful women and their 146 years of service to
Vallejo and our schools. Join us in celebrating the Sisters by attending our event, and/or send us your memories of
the Sisters during your time at our school or parishes.
Enjoy seeing the Class of 2015 and look for the issue surrounding the Class of 2016 to be in your mailbox soon.
Thank you so much for continuing to support us. You are an amazing generous group who are living the motto
“leave a place better than you found it.” We were all touched by our four years at SV, SP and SPSV. We are
thankful for the Dominican Sisters and Christian Brothers who guided us through our long history. Young alum are
grateful to the wonderful people who accepted their calling to serve St. Patrick – St. Vincent High School.
Please join me in making a gift in thanksgiving for all that you received from this magical place. Your generosity
allows us to have 100% of our students go to college. Your generosity enables us to continue to offer wonderful
leadership and retreat programs. Your generosity allows us to stay current with advances in education. One exciting
example is the certificate programs now in available in Biomedical Sciences and International Studies. Your
support allows us to enroll students who could not afford to be here without your financial assistance.
As alumni, you can expect to hear more from St. Patrick - St. Vincent High School and about how current students,
faculty and staff, alumni and so many others are creating an impact in our greater community. We are proud of our
tradition and promise that you too will be proud. Proud of the vision we have and journey we continue on at
St. Patrick - St. Vincent High School. It will be Transcendent.
Sincerely,
Sheila Lynch Williams SV’85

Donald “Gene” Denk SV’51 wrote in with a snippet
of his past. March 1951, him and six classmates joined
the USAF Reserve and became “weekend warriors”.
One month after graduation, he and his classmates were
called into active duty in the Korean War. They became
communication operators or electronics repairmen.
In 1954, the war ended and they received honorable
discharge if they chose so. Gene received his BS in
Mathematics from Cal Poly, SLO. He worked at Pacific
Missile Range for seven years, mostly as a Systems
Programmer and at IBM Corporation for 25 years as
a Staff Programmer. Gene is also the author of Birth
of an Industry Computers in the Early Years by Gene

2013. Gene was recently widowed. His wife, Lorraine,
of 57 years passed away on March 30, 2015. They have
nine children (two of whom followed in dad’s footsteps
in the military), eight grandchildren and one great
grandchild.
Antonio Pires SV’55 is currently retired, enjoying family
and all that complicated living stuff, even teaching a bible

a Technical Sergeant; aircraft radio repair. He received
his BSEE from Heald Engineering College in SF in 1965
and his MSEE from University of Colorado, Boulder,
CO in 1967. Tony worked several jobs before retiring

Tony is married to Gloria and they have six children, 11
grandchildren and two great grandchildren.

Merian Marana Droesch SV’72 wrote in that recently
she, Dan Heim SV’53 and Steve Morgan SV’61
collectively came to the recognition of their common
background. They love their little mission church which
is part of St. Joseph’s of Redding. They are active
members of the congregation at St. Michael Archangel
Mission Church in the City of Shasta Lake. Steve serves
as a lector, Merian plays piano and sings in the choir and
Dan supervises from the pews. She says the SV alums
are making their presence known in the northern part of
the state.

Captain Thomas R. Buchanan SPSV’88 said he partially
credits his years at SPSV with preparing him for his job
helping prevent a nuclear attack against the United States
as the newly named Commander of the United States
Navy Submarine Squadron 20. A change-of-command
ceremony was held at the chapel aboard Naval Submarine
Base Kings Bay on March 24, 2016. Captain Buchanan
relieved William J. Houston as squadron commodore and
is responsible for the maintenance and operations of five
Ohio-class ballistic missile submarines; USS Alaska,
USS Tennessee, USS West Virginia , USS Maryland and
USS Wyoming and their 10 crews. Thomas grew up a
“Navy junior,” (sometimes called a “military brat,” – a
“pejorative term” he avoids using) and when his father
was stationed at the Mare Island Naval Shipyard, he lived
in Vallejo for four years. He said he considers the Vallejo/
Benicia area home “for his formative years,” and “credits
it with where I am today.” The foundation provided to him
as a young man and his high school experiences, helped
form the foundation upon which his life and career has
been built, he said. “St. Patrick-St. Vincent High School
– the athletic director, my high school baseball coach, all
my teachers, the administration there at the time – were
all terrific mentors,” he said. “We had a tight-knit group
at St. Pat’s; we had a lot of athletic success during those
years, and it’s a good place to be from.” It was also in
Vallejo that the second-generation submarine officer said
he met the woman who became his wife, Kelly Coyle
Buchanan SPSV’90. Kelly was another Naval junior,
whose father was one of the last commanding officers
at the Mare Island Naval Shipyard. Though he said he
never really considered any career other than a Naval one,
within the Navy, a whole array of possible specialties

were available to him, but he was drawn to submarines.
“While I was in the Naval Academy, you get to experience
various branches of Naval service and submarines offered
the opportunity to work with and serve with terrific
enlisted folks – there was just something special about
the submarine force team I was on.” “I love what I do,”
he said. “I was always going to be a Naval officer and it’s
worked out pretty well and I’ll continue to do it for as
long as the Navy will allow me.” The father of two now
stationed in southern Georgia, said the story of his life
and career is still being written.

Jenielyn Dinoso Lopez SPSV ‘04 comes from a long
line of career nurses (her mom, three aunts, one uncle,
nine cousins, and two cousin-in-laws are all RNs) so
it’s no surprise that Jenielyn became a registered nurse
in 2009. In 2013, she obtained her Masters in Nursing
in Clinical Nurse Leadership from University of San
Francisco and also found the time to get married to a
fellow nurse. Jenielyn has a specialty in acute care and is
currently a nurse for Solano County Hospital, Northbay
Healthcare. She’s also part of the Northbay Nurse
Ambassadors program and an asset to her SPSV alma
mater. Since December 2014, Jenielyn has been visiting
SPSV monthly to promote and educate students interested
in nursing. She’s participated in SPSV career days and
has enabled many SPSV students to engage in Northbay
Healthcare programs, including: Teen Volunteer, Follow
a Nurse, and Summer Nurse Camp. Thank you SO much
for all you do for SPSV, Jenielyn!

Christoffer Caro SPSV ‘10 graduated from UC Irvine
in 2014 with a Bachelor of Science in Biology. As a
pre-dental student, and with the values of service and
compassion that were taught to him at SPSV (thanks
to Mrs. Roselle Macariola, Coach Matthew Boyle, and
Mrs. Mary Mead), he organized a 2015 dental mission in
Masinloc, Philippines. Prior to the mission, Christoffer
traveled to the town many times to visit his mother’s side
of the family. It was during these visits that he saw first
hand just how many of Masinloc’s 44,000 impoverished
citizens were in oral health detriment. Last May he
headed to the Philippines with the goal of treating 600
patients (mainly with extractions and oral hygiene
instruction) in two days! He couldn’t do it alone but was
the man leading the mission. Through his parents’ dental
connections, Christoffer was able to gather sponsors and
10 Manila-based dentists to complete the mission. He
gathered funds and donations for supplies (antibiotics,
pain relievers, cold sterilization materials, gauze, local
anesthetics, toothbrushes/toothpaste, gloves, face masks),
food, and travel accommodations for the dentists. The
end result: his team of 10 dentists treated 670 children
and adults in only two days! He was recently accepted
into UCSF School of Dentistry and will be starting in Fall
2016. Congratulations Christoffer!
Mark Bartolome SPSV’13 is in the nursing program

1935 while commuting to work
aboard the Raahauge family ferry
service “The Mare Island Ferry” she
caught the eye of her future husband,
Captain Victor “Vic” Raahauge.
During their 64 years together,
they raised their five children along
with being deeply involved with
their many grandchildren and great
grandchildren.
She enjoyed her
family, friends and charitable work;
taking great joy and pride in their
large family all throughout her life.
Their home in Vallejo and summer
cabin on Cobb Mountain, were
always open to the young friends
of various ages of the Raahauge
children. When their family was
grown and off to college and careers
the Raahauges enjoyed cruising and
traveling around the world. Jean
and Vic built the successful seafood
restaurant “The Wharf” on Vallejo’s
waterfront at the foot of Georgia
Street in 1969 where she was very
active as the hostess, greeting
everyone with her warm loving
smile, she so loved seeing their many
old time friends. Jean was cherished
by her husband, Vic; as he referred
to her as “my bride” all throughout
their lives. A loving and very
supportive mother, and simply the
best Nana ever. Jean was and always
will be the Matriarch of her family,
and will be missed beyond measure.
One of her favorite quotes was:
“Yesterday is History, Tomorrow a
Mystery, and today is a gift, that’s
why they call it the Present”. Jean is
survived by her sons; Ney Raahauge
