Year of Consecrated Life
Aggies who have completely dedicated themselves to God
Pope Francis declared that a Year of Consecrated Life is to be celebrated throughout the world,
beginning on November 30, 2014, and ending on February 2, 2016, on the Feast of the Presentation
of the Child Jesus. He intended to help with the renewal of the world by looking to the special example
of consecrated men and women: “Religious life ought to promote growth in the Church by way of
attraction…Be witnesses of a different way of doing things, of acting, of living! It is possible to live
differently in this world!” Many Aggies have done just that!
On the Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, September 8, 2015, Kelly Foht (class of 2005)
made her Solemn Profession of Vows in Zurita, Spain. Sr. Kelly is one of several recent alumnae who
have consecrated themselves completely to Christ through the religious life. A good friend of Sr. Kelly and fellow alumna Sr.
Michelle Klobe (class of 2005) is also a member of that same religious order known as the Servant Sisters, Home of the Mother.
I had the good fortune of visiting recently with Sr. Michelle when she was back in town to prayerfully support her biological sister
Therese (class of 1999) in her Solemn Profession of Vows as a member of another order, The Institute Servants of the Lord and
the Virgin of Matara. One of the topics we discussed was the tradition of taking on a new name that is common among many
religious orders. Therese received a new first and middle name, Sr. Maria Nikopoia, taken from the Greek word for victory. In
Sr. Michelle’s case she kept her first name but added to it a descriptor name, “of the Pierced Side.” Of course, she is referring to
the pierced side of our Lord on the cross. Whether the new name was chosen for the religious or they were allowed to prayerfully
reflect on it themselves, the significance of a new name is the same. To consecrate oneself to God fully and totally is to receive a
kind of new identity, yet it is the person Christ has always planned for the individual. This is a beautiful lesson for all of us. We
are to become new and better when we dedicate ourselves to Christ.
Why this flowering of vocations to the consecrated life? God calls us all to holiness but some are called to live a life that more
fully witnesses to a complete dependence on God. This trust in God’s providential care covers every aspect of their lives: material,
spiritual, emotional, mental, familial and social. This radical reliance is really meant to remind the rest of us that God can be
trusted in big and small things. Furthermore, the example of those in religious orders is more than just relying on God for one’s
needs, one’s daily bread; God satisfies our deepest yearnings and desires. In short, God is more than enough!
Thank you to all Aggies past and present who have completely dedicated themselves to God. Let us pray that many more Aggie
alumni are open to God’s call to consecrated life. Let us also resolve that each one of us, even though called to other vocations,
may be all the more inspired to live out God’s will with a renewed zeal to joyfully trust in God’s providence and thus become, more
and more, the son or daughter of God we were meant to be.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Rev. Mark Moriarty

O
n Thursday, November 12, more than 900 students, faculty,
staff, and guests marked the beginning of the dedication day in
prayer, coming together for a solemn Mass celebrated by Bishop
Andrew Cozzens. It was a mere 16 months since his last visit to
campus, when he came for the special announcement that concretized for
the public what so many within the school already knew – that Saint Agnes
School was alive and well, so much so that an addition would be built on to
Gruden Hall. On the day of that historic announcement, it was noted that
the new space would allay mounting concerns over structural deficiencies
identified in Bandas Hall. It would accommodate the growing demands of
a steady increase in enrollment. And it would be done in honor of former
superintendent Fr. John Ubel.
Immediately following the Bishop’s Mass,
the congregation sang hymns of thanksgiving
in procession to the newly opened wing.
Filing through the Knights of Columbus
lining the hall, they took their places in a
hushed gym, where the only sounds to be
heard were that of a student string ensemble.
After a prayer of blessing, Bishop Cozzens,
assisted by Deacon Mark Pavlak, ‘05, sprinkled
holy water throughout the halls and
distributed blessed crucifixes to classrooms.
4
When it came time to reveal the building’s name, it was first announced that the gym would carry on the tradition of the
building that once stood on the same site – Bandas Gymnasium.
The name of the center itself was announced to thunderous applause and a standing ovation initiated by the students
body – the Ubel Activity Center. It was at the request of the project’s lead donors, Mr. John Nasseff and Ms. Helene Houle,
that the building bear the name of their dear friend, as he did so much to assist Saint Agnes in her hour of need and to put
the school on a path toward financial and spiritual health.
Fr. Ubel looked back on his first school homily from September 14, 2006, the Feast of the Triumph of the Cross and said:
In all our victories, and yes perhaps even more so in
our defeats, our loving God is there to help us and to
lift us up. Be young people who embrace the Cross and
sacrifice and do not go running the other way. Rather,
lift high the Cross and embrace it in your lives. Be proud
of your faith and be proud of our school. Let the Lord
take care of the rest. Indeed, the Lord has taken care
of the rest, because this entire school community has
embraced its challenges in faith and trust. And today,
God has seen fit to bless you once again through the
extraordinary generosity of people who love you,
admire you and above all – they believe in you.
He continued in gratitude to his friends:
And today, in a most special way, I offer profound
thanks to John Nasseff and Helene Houle – I wonder if
any of us would be standing here today – certainly not
in this space – without John’s extraordinary generosity
and Helene’s undying support and encouragement.
Thank you for your wise counsel reminding me to
count my blessings and to realize that every day is a
beautiful day because we are here to enjoy it.
5
Fr. Ubel then reminded everyone what – or who – the day was really
about:
Today, many people ask – what will be your legacy? In all honesty,
legacies are not found in ACT scores, Spring Musicals or Championship
trophies. Nor may a legacy be contained in any building, no matter how
beautiful or needed.
For Fr. Moriarty, Dr. Ferdinandt and the entire staff at Saint Agnes
School, a legacy may be found solely in the people whose lives we touch
and whose lives touch us in return [gesturing to the student body]. While
I am humbled that this building bears my name – it is not my legacy. We
adults, privileged to be part of your lives – we see 665 legacies right here!
You are our legacy.
may the legacy
continue for years
to come.
A portrait of Fr. John L. Ubel painted by Mrs. Merry DeCourcy and a
dedication plaque will hang in the UAC. The plaque reads in part:
The Ubel Activity Center was built in honor of Father John L. Ubel in
recognition of his hard work and dedication at a most critical juncture
in the school’s history. This Activity Center is a testament to how God
has blessed, preserved and strengthened Saint Agnes School through
the faith and hard work of so many…Through the lead gift of Mr. John
Nasseff and his wife, Ms. Helene Houle, along with the contributions of
many others, this building honors Fr. Ubel’s commitment to Saint Agnes
School and Catholic education.

From the headmaster
Commitment to Catholic Education
As I ponder the commitment so many families have made to Catholic education over
the past 130+ years in this country, I marvel at God’s call to so many of us who continue
the work they started. Since the Third Plenary Council of Baltimore in 1884 when the
bishops in the United States called parishes to erect Catholic schools near every parish
church, Catholic families and parishes have responded generously to God’s call to provide
Catholic education to our families. Saint Agnes Church and School is a testament to
that commitment to sponsoring and sustaining a parish school as well as the generosity of
parish and school families to make it the best school it can be.
As I think about my past 26 years working in education, I owe so much to those who
sacrificed for our Catholic schools before me. Without them, I would not have been able
to pursue God’s call to Catholic education which has marked my professional career - as a teacher in the inner-city
and in the suburbs, as an administrator and teacher who started a school, and now as an administrator and teacher
at Saint Agnes School. It is my distinct privilege to serve in this historic parish and school created in honor of St.
Agnes that hearkens back to the bishops’ call in 1884 to erect a school near every parish church.
Generally speaking, I have experienced two types of Catholics with a sustained commitment to Catholic
education. First are those who went to public schools during their primary and/or secondary school years and then
experienced a call from God to serve in Catholic schools. Second are those who had the good fortune of attending
a Catholic school, were taught and formed well, and then committed their lives to making Catholic education
happen for the next generation (whether by enrolling them, paying for them, or serving them in some capacity).
So many of you who are alumni have been blessed to be in the latter group. I must confess, however, that I am
in the former group, though I wish I could say I was one of the latter. God captured my heart and soul during
my undergraduate years at the University of St. Thomas (back when it was still a college), and I have only served
Catholic K-12 students since then. Exposure to the liberal arts has been such a gift to me, and I feel an obligation
to “give to God what is God’s” - namely, my entire professional and personal life - by serving in Catholic education.
Many Aggie alumni also continue to serve Catholic education - some as donors to their alma maters, others as
parents of current Aggies, others as educators in our Catholic schools, and finally those who have chosen to pursue
teaching at Saint Agnes herself. And so, we offer a tribute with this issue of the Aggie Archives to those who
have contributed to this particular “Aggie” brand of Catholic education - whether by funding one of our various
endeavors or by entrusting their children to this wonderful school. Most of all, we offer a tribute to those Aggie
alumni who serve in Catholic schools and a special tribute to those who serve at Saint Agnes School itself. Please
join me in thanking them for their service and their sacrifice in generous response to the call from God through
the intercession of Saint Agnes herself. Many could have been rewarded more financially by choosing other
professions, but I am honored and blessed to share this calling to Catholic education with them!
Saint Agnes…Pray for us!
Blessings to all in our Aggie family,

Spotlight on Catholic School Educators
Grade School Teachers
Mr. John Capistrant, Ms. Madeline Pilon,
Ms. Mary Eilen, ‘09
T
he class of 2009 saw three of its graduates enter the
classroom as Catholic grade school teachers in the
St. Paul area. These young alumni are just beginning
their careers with an excitement that is fresh and new. They had
much to say about their time at Saint Agnes and how they chose
their profession.
What are a few of your favorite memories of your years at
Saint Agnes?
John: I have very fond memories of my days at Saint Agnes,
from the musicals to the pep rallies, from praying in the chapel to
working on the yearbook. I am so thankful for the opportunities
I experienced at Saint Agnes, and those opportunities helped me
become successful.
Madeline: Like John, some of my most significant memories
of my time at Saint Agnes involved extracurricular activities,
such as volleyball, assemblies and spending time with classmates.
I remember a strong sense of community with my class and my
teachers.
Mary: One of the best experiences was being able to participate
in the choir under Mrs. May. I enjoyed touring with the
choir to New York City and Chicago, visiting the Hawthorne
Dominican Sisters in New York and the Sisters of Charity of
Our Lady Mother of the Church in Connecticut, and making
friends for a lifetime. Saint Agnes is truly a family.
What specific classes or teachers influenced you most?
Mary: Many teachers inspired me and I have the privilege of
working with some of them today. I have always been amazed
by the kindness, firmness, and passion of Mr. Johnson, Mrs.
Fitzgerald, Mrs. Loomis, Mrs. Dusbiber, Mrs. Deitchler, and
Mrs. O’Hern. I had the opportunity to learn and grow in my
faith when I took Mrs. Decker’s and Mr. Blonigen’s religion
classes.
Madeline: Mr. Blonigen was such a patient teacher who
respected us as students, and he had a zeal for the Catholic faith
that was evident. His classroom was always a place where we
knew we could ask anything and he’d give us an expert answer.
Dr. Whalen was a teacher that challenged his students. He
encouraged us to question what we knew, and truly made his
students validate the opinions they had about the world.

Mr. John Capistrant graduated from the
University of MN in 2013 with a B.A. in English.
He teaches middle school Language Arts at
Community of Saints Regional Catholic School in
West Saint Paul. He recently became engaged to
Katelyn Caron and will be married in July of 2016.
John: Most, if not all, of the teachers I had during my days in
those hallowed halls were personable, genuine, and caring. Their
consideration and ability to be understanding started a spark in my
heart. The wonderful example of present and past teachers such as
Karl Pedersen, Fred Blonigen, Gary Moos, Brian Traxler, Elizabeth
Carle, Erica Henderson, and countless others instilled in me the
desire to become the best teacher I could be. Saint Agnes has always
been known for its high quality of education, and that only comes
with incredible teachers doing amazing things in and out of their
classrooms.
When did you first get the idea that you wanted to teach?
Madeline: I decided to become a teacher towards the end of
my freshman year of college. I was a different major at the time
and just didn’t feel comfortable with my choice. I was helping my
friend edit his paper when he suddenly turned to me and said, “Are
you a teaching major? You’re really good at this. You’d make a
good teacher.” It was such a random thought, but it hit me like a
thunderbolt. I made the decision and haven’t looked back since.
Ms. Madeline Pilon received her B.A.A.
degree in Teaching Communication
Arts and Literature from the University
of Minnesota, Duluth in 2014. She is
in her second year of teaching middle
school Language Arts at Maternity of
Mary - St. Andrew School in St. Paul.
Mary: I think teaching has always been a part of me. My
grandparents were teachers and my mother is a teacher. As a child,
I enjoyed going to work with my mom on occasion and being her
helper. By the time I was half way through high school, I knew I
wanted to teach, I just didn’t know what kind of teacher I hoped
to be. Because music is such a part of my life, I almost decided to
become a music teacher. I eventually decided that the variety of
teaching all the subjects, as well as working with an age I enjoy,
helped me to focus on elementary education.
John: Throughout my entire life I have had teachers who went
the distance for me, and that left a powerful impression upon me.
I began to pray about what God was calling me to do, and I felt
that it had to be something school related. During my senior year
I knew that I wanted to become a teacher.
Why teach in a Catholic school?
Madeline: I chose to accept a job in a Catholic school because a
Catholic education not only instills a strong academic foundation,
it inspires in students a love of both God and the Catholic Church.
Many people had to make sacrifices so that I could have a Catholic
education, and I am so grateful for that gift. I have always wanted

and Catholic Studies from the

to do something meaningful with my life that contributes to society,
and feel that education is the best way for me to do so. Teaching in
a Catholic school not only allows me to do so, but also allows me to
share my faith with the community in which I work.
Mary: To be a Catholic school teacher is to be an educator of the
whole person. It is such a tremendous responsibility, but it brings
such joy to evangelize the very young minds that take in so much
with such a great degree of excitement. I can discuss, even with
my third grade students, the things that matter most to the human
heart.
John: There is a special atmosphere in a Catholic school that
I can only describe as “lingering holiness.” Inside the walls is an
aura of faith formation being instilled into the hearts and minds of
each individual student. I wanted to attend weekly Mass with the
students, as well as be able to talk about my faith and pray before
every class period. I always want to spread Jesus’ love to the children
He places under my guidance and care, and you simply cannot do
that in other schools. Simply put, being a Catholic school teacher
is the most rewarding vocation I could ever think of and I would
not trade it for anything.
Mr. Capistrant’s closing comments summed it up for all of
them:
As a teacher, every day is an adventure. You never know what to
expect, and that is one of the main reasons why I love it so much!
The students never cease to amaze me by their wit, their talents, and
their ability to teach me something new. I learn from them more
than they learn from me, I feel. Their insight and energy inspire me
beyond belief! I absolutely love my job!

Dan reminisces further on his high school days.
High School Teacher
Mr. Dan Berthiaume, ‘00
M
r. Dan Berthiaume,
Class of 2000, is one of
several alumni who have
chosen to return to Saint Agnes in a
professional capacity. The epitome
of well-rounded, Dan teaches
Latin and is head coach of the girls
hockey and softball teams. He and
his wife Becki (Johnson), also an
alumna of 2000, are the parents of
six young children, three of whom
are now Aggie students.
For the past seven years, Dan has been an integral part of
the language program at Saint Agnes, teaching five sections of
Latin each day.
Every day is hilarious! Trying to sort out Latin grammar with 7th
graders, translating Virgil’s Aeneid, and discussing its perennially
rich themes with my Latin IV students - it’s all a hoot! We keep
things light-hearted in Room 316 and laugh a lot. My students are
sometimes shocked to learn that I did not take Latin in high school.
I started studying Latin as a freshman at UST and haven’t stopped
since. I began tutoring Latin students and realized how much fun
it was. I was able to pass on my love for words and grammar and
clarity of expression, and in the upper levels I could read some of the
Western World’s greatest literature in its original form.
Berthiaume is well-loved by students and is an excellent
teacher. The highest praise comes directly from his students.
“Mr. Berthiaume not only knows how to teach Latin, but
he knows the history of the Romans and their culture really
well. He has a lot of insight about daily life in the ancient
world and he makes Latin really interesting – we learn a lot,
but we also have a lot of fun.” Another student offered, “He
asks good questions that help you think about the Latin more
deeply, drawing out more of what the author is trying to
communicate with the use of certain words. Mr. Berthiaume
is an understanding teacher who is easy to approach with
questions. He is very helpful and flexible when it comes to
extra tutoring.” Ever humble, Berthiaume credits his former
teachers with much of his success.
I have always loved words and remember being inspired by my
English teachers here at Saint Agnes - notably Mr. Mike Fitzgerald
and Mr. Paul Schmitz. But no one was more inspiring than Mr.
Fred Blonigen. He taught the faith with such clarity and generosity
that every year he drew more and more students closer to the
Church and the heart of Jesus. To this day I am very grateful for
the intellectual and moral formation I received from Fred, and I
am happy to be his colleague. He is the true Mr. B. at Saint Agnes.
10
I met my wife here! It doesn’t get much more special than that.
At Saint Agnes I was also able to play hockey and baseball with
my older brother Judd and my younger brother Dave. I also
got to share my high school experience with my dear cousin and
classmate Angela Barrett, now Sr. Marie Ange at the Carmel
in Lake Elmo. My high school years are packed with great
memories.
When asked about teaching in a Catholic school, Dan had
this to say.
I’ve never even thought of teaching at a school that wasn’t
Catholic. While I certainly admire those Catholics who try to
act as a leaven within non-Catholic institutions, I’ve always
appreciated that I can be exactly who I am at my place of
employment. I don’t have to check the best part of me at the
door before I walk into the building. It is a great pleasure to
share a common faith with my students, and I am not kidding
when I say that they inspire me more than I inspire them. The
conversations that we are able to have in the classroom are deep
and meaningful because they are illuminated and guided by
faith and the Catholic intellectual tradition.
Mr. Berthiaume’s excellence in teaching, passion for the
subject matter, and sound pedagogy were recently recognized
when he was named Minnesota’s “Latin Teacher of the Year”
by the Classical Association of Minnesota (CAM). The
Classical Association of Minnesota promotes the study of
classical languages, Latin in particular, and other important
elements of Greco-Roman history and culture from antiquity
in K-12 schools, colleges, and universities of the region.
Berthiaume said the following upon receiving the award:
This is a huge surprise to me and I’m very honored to receive
this award. I’m fortunate to be at a school that supports classics
in the curriculum, a place where the Latin language is rooted in
so much of what we do. I can’t think of anything I’d rather do!
Mr.
Berthiaume
is
definitely deserving of the
title “Latin Teacher of the
Year!”
The plaque awarded to
Mr. Berthiaume reads:
Annua de cunctis uni
tibi dona magistris: Quis
iuvenum
melius
corda
docere potest? Translated,
it means: “To you alone,
out of all teachers, this
once-a-year award: for who
is better able to teach the
hearts of (our) youth?”
School Administrator
Mr. Danny Kieffer, ‘96
T
aking an administrative role in a Catholic school has its own challenges and rewards. Danny
Kieffer, class of 1996, allowed us an honest glimpse into the turn of events that led him to
the principal position at St. Charles Borromeo Catholic School in St. Anthony, Minnesota.
It was a sacrifice for my parents to send my siblings and I to St. Mark’s for our K-8 education,
but it was one they were confident in. There were things I loved about St. Mark’s, and there
were things I did not love about it. As I grew into adolescence, I liked attending a Catholic
school less and less. The workload, the rigor, and the rules were something that I really felt I
could do without.
As I reached high school, I insisted on attending our local public school, and my parents
accepted this with reservations. It became clear during my 9th grade year that I needed to be
back in a Catholic school. I let my schoolwork slide, I got into trouble, and I became less happy
and dissatisfied with life. I came to a point where I was just sick of myself and I could see that my future was not looking so great. I
made the decision to ask my parents if I could go to Saint Agnes High School and they agreed. This change led to new friendships, and
the relationships I formed with teachers, coaches, and administrators changed the direction of my life. I began to remember the value of
my faith, and what it meant to let the Lord lead. It was not always a smooth path, and I was always a little rough around the edges, but
life got better for me. By my senior year, it was clear that I would be going to college, which was not necessarily predictable considering
how my high school career began.
After college I ended up returning to St. Mark’s as a teacher, alongside eight of the ladies who survived teaching me. I taught there
for ten years before taking the principal position at St. Pius X. During my two years at St. Pius X, I took part in the creation of Frassati
Catholic Academy, a regional Catholic school in White Bear Lake. After that, I accepted the position as principal of St. Charles
Borromeo.
It has been a blessing to share faith and knowledge with young people who are trying to “figure it out,” just like I was. I cannot express
the unending gratitude I feel toward my teachers, coaches, and parents who took a stand for me. They saw Christ in me, they pushed
me and loved me, and they never gave up until I saw Christ in myself. I live a blessed life for many reasons. I have a beautiful family of
my own, a faith that has survived the pressures of this world, and a career I love where I have the opportunity, each day, to do for young
people what others did for me. And that is why I choose Catholic education.
I advise all students and alumni, young and old, to find a way to stay connected and to support Catholic education. The world is
counting on the work that is being done every day in Catholic schools. In my experience, kids learn and grow best when their souls and
brains are fed together. When there is partnership between the school and home that supports a child’s spiritual and academic growth,
anything is possible. I am living proof of just that.
Many of our alumni continue to
serve Catholic education. A special
tribute to those who serve at Saint
Agnes itself. David Johnson, ‘57,

English, and they demonstrated how I could do the same.
One particularly funny thing I recall was in Mr. Streator’s social
studies class. He was lecturing when he decided to go casual, putting
his feet on his desk. Unfortunately, his rolling chair slid back and he
ended up on the floor with only his feet sticking up in the air from
behind the desk. He stayed that way for at least a minute or two
while we froze in surprise; soon after we ALL burst into laughter
along with Mr. S.!

Following the example of her dad and four siblings, Dr. Reif
pursued education, and began her career as a high school English
teacher and debate coach. After having her first son in 1979,
she became a part-time teacher of adults in a college setting.
Enjoying the work with that particular age group, she decided
to get a graduate degree in order to look for positions in higher
education. She worked both part time and fulltime in Catholic
colleges from 1986 until her retirement in 2011. We asked her
to comment on her experience in higher education:
1967 Aggie Cheerleaders
The best part of my career path was when I was offered a chance
to prepare future teachers and administrators in the School of
Education at the University of St. Thomas. I taught the introduction
to education course, general teaching methods, professional
writing & communication, psychology of teaching and learning,
student teaching supervision, and I chaired the teacher education
department for several years. Not only did I work with excited
undergrads and more seasoned graduate students, but also I had
a chance to impact the schools and students they would eventually
teach and lead in.
Her work in Teacher Education took on an even broader scope
with the start of the Murray Institute, a partnership between
St. Thomas and the Archdiocese that offers graduate degrees to
Catholic fulltime teachers and administrators tuition-free. The
Murray students study in cohorts (or groups) throughout their
programs. For this reason, Dr. Reif believes that their degrees
are only one aspect of what is learned. They also develop a keen
knowledge of their colleagues and the parishes throughout the
Archdiocese, thereby forming connections that strengthen
Catholic schools with better-prepared educators and leaders.
Minnesota has seen some significant changes in education over
the last 25 years: the advent of the charter school (the first in the
nation opened in 1992 right here in MN), the mainstreaming
of home school environments, increased interest in virtual
education, and relatively strong public schools. And yet many
families continue to seek out – and sacrifice for – a Catholic
education. We asked Dr. Reif to identify some of the attributes
that are unique to Catholic education and set it distinctly apart
from all other models:
My work teaching the Murray cohorts and leading the Murray
Institute cemented my assessment of Catholic schools as the best
option for educating our children. I worked with teachers and
administrators who are smart, strong, dedicated, creative, and
successful. I learned how much they loved their students and chose to
shape them academically and spiritually. Some of them earn far less
than their public school counterparts, but choose to stay in Catholic
schools because of their strong faith and because they are making a
difference. In all my years in education, the most motivated teachers
I worked with were in the Catholic schools.
In 2015, much is written about the success of charter schools with
their unique focus, i.e. college prep, science & technology, second
languages; their effective teacher-student ratio; their on-site team
decision making. However, Catholic schools have long offered a
diverse curricular focus, small class sizes, and the site-based model
of decision making. Additionally, Catholic schools infuse Catholic
teachings into all subjects and require the study of religion as well.
Our teachers live and model the lives they want their students to lead.
The administrators and teachers partner with parents and families
to help all children succeed. I’ve watched the Catholic schools add
From the top: Sharon Larson, Bonnie Gervais, Judy
Koppy, Marge Rossini, Mary Jane Wigen, Joanne Abbott
gifted and talented, special needs, and second language services to
their offerings. I’ve visited dozens of schools and found technologyintegrated lessons, amazing music and art classrooms, advanced and
remedial reading instruction, and advanced placement (AP) courses.
My husband and I chose to educate our two sons in Catholic schools
and did so K-12 for one and K-16 for the other. They are creative,
hardworking, and motivated problem solvers because of their highly
effective Catholic educations.
Dr. Reif has maintained strong ties to the Aggie community
since graduation. We asked her to share how she stays connected:
I’ve managed to stay connected with many Aggie graduates through
a variety of channels. First, do you have any idea how many Rossinis
attended Saint Agnes? Family gatherings are often Aggie minireunions! I have also worked with and taught many Aggies. Dr.
Kevin Ferdinandt, Ms. Jill Gubash, and Mrs. Sheila Gutierrez, all
Saint Agnes educators, were my former students. My family also plays
in the golf tournament, where we catch up with several generations of
alumni and current student athletes. I have maintained contact with
many of my 1967 classmates through Facebook; a gathering last fall
in St. Paul to celebrate our 65th birthdays – amazing how many 13year Aggies showed up; and special friendships – Judie Koppy Cohen
& Mary Pat Kubitschek Fox – whom I have known for 61 years!

Homecoming
2015
B
etween the sunshine and the high spirits, Homecoming weekend
was a tremendous success! It began with an alumni memorial Mass
on September 24, attended by many, including 1947 graduate Pat
(Schiltgen) Utecht, who later wrote: “To attend Mass with the students, hear
their lovely singing, and then be treated to a delicious brunch and greeted by
Father and the staff, it was truly a special time.”
Saint Agnes defeated the
Humboldt Hawks 38-16
Aggie pride was evident as 500+ alumni, family and friends gathered for
tailgating. Whether playing touch football or visiting with friends, parents and
kids alike enjoyed the beautiful weather and shared school spirit.

Hall of Fame Gains Four New Members
A 4-year letter winner
in basketball, softball and
volleyball, Sara (Tibesar)
Carlston, class of 1995, earned
many all-conference honors. She scored over 1000 points in
basketball and was named the first ever Athena Award winner
at Saint Agnes. Sara was also a member of NHS and the
Valedictorian of her class. She played college volleyball at UWRiver Falls and NDSU.
Jerry O’Connor, Sara (Tibesar) Carlston, Judd and Dave
Berthiaume
S
aint Agnes School added four new members to the Athletic
Hall of Fame on September 26. One inductee noted how
nice it was to see four fast patch players make it into the Hall
of Fame together!
Daniel O’Connor, class of 1962, was a 13-year Aggie who
lettered numerous times in baseball, football and hockey, earning
all-conference honors in each sport. After graduation, O’Connor
had a successful career at Univac, a prominent Minneapolis
company who was an industry leader in pioneering some of the
first computers.
Accepting the award for Dan was his brother Jerry, a member of
the inaugural Hall of Fame class of 2007. Jerry recalled how Dan
had built his life around competition, but it didn’t always translate
to the classroom. He then told a story about the time his mother
was called in to school where she found Dan out front using a
razor blade to scrape gum from the steps. On a more serious note,
Jerry went on to remark on his brother’s successful athletic career
after graduation. Dan O’Connor was a professional handball tour
player. He won 11 championships (MSHA, National) between
the years of 1971 and 1978. He played fast pitch softball within
the International Softball Congress
and was MVP for All American Bar
in 1976. He was a 5-time member
of the All World Fast Pitch Softball
Team and is a member of the
Minnesota Fast Pitch Hall of Fame.
Jerry O’Connor
Dan had a love of competition
and a passion for people. He
passed away in April of 1994.
Sara was introduced by her brother Marcus who began his
remarks with this: “I don’t know how it has taken you this long
to put her in the Hall of Fame, because she’s been in mine for a
long time.”
In
her
acceptance
speech, Sara spoke about
how high school athletics
made her into who she
is today. Playing sports
gave her the desire to give
back by becoming a coach
herself. She had this to
say on the importance of
athletics:
Athletics teaches us about
teamwork, dealing with Sara (Tibesar) Carlston and
adversity, humility, losing Marcus Tibesar
with grace, and perhaps more
importantly, winning with grace. It pushes us to the limits physically
and mentally, provides lifelong friendships, teaches us to be leaders,
and shows us how to believe in something greater than ourselves.
Sara then spoke about the impact that her teammates and
coaches had on her:
We carried each other through that one last drill. We survived the
spring practices in the gym where we had to work around the stage.
We made so many memories, and most of them were in the simple
moments – sharing rides home, singing the Aggie rouser on the bus,
braiding our hair just right, laughing about how Coach Tom Cross
ran up and down the sidelines as much as we did on the court,
seeing Mr. Silvia almost losing his mind on third base, teasing Mrs.
Cartwright about this or that. These coaches were instrumental in
shaping my athletic career. Their guidance and mentorship through
the years were a tremendous support and I am so appreciative for
all they taught.
15
future Aggie hopefuls. You never know what might draw someone to
Saint Agnes, and so may we all continue to support Aggie athletics!”
Judd looks forward to coaching softball again this spring:
I am fortunate to coach some of our future hall of famers alongside
my brothers Dan and Dave. Last year, we had indoor practices off
campus, and we can’t wait to be back on campus, in our own gym,
and around the great students at Saint Agnes. Glory be to God, it’s
a great time to be an Aggie.
Dan and Judd Berthiaume
Judd Berthiaume, class of 1998, earned multiple letters
in baseball and hockey. He was a key member of the 1998
baseball team that won the Tri-Metro conference and
section championships to earn baseball’s first trip to the
state tournament. Judd emerged as one of the top men’s
fast pitch softball pitchers in the world during his late teens
and early twenties. He represented the U.S. on the U19
Junior National team at the ISF Junior World Tournament
in Newfoundland, Canada, and was the winning pitcher in
the game where Team USA defeated Australia, the eventual
gold medalist.
Judd’s brother Dan spoke of his impressive athletic career,
noting how thrilled Saint Agnes is that Judd is currently the
assistant coach of varsity softball. “He must be the most
overqualified assistant coach in the nation!”
Judd first thanked his parents:
The older I get, the more I appreciate the sacrifices they made
to send me to Saint Agnes. It’s a significant part of many family
budgets, and I’m sure it was of ours.
Then, his teammates, coaches and teachers:
I couldn’t have been as successful without my great teammates,
coaches – namely Dick Ghizoni and Bill May – or the support of
my teachers and the administration.
The reason I transferred to Saint
Agnes was because of hockey. And
although I really enjoy playing sports,
God’s reasons were even
greater. In addition to
meeting my wife, I take
full credit for the fact that
my transfer allowed my
two brothers to follow,
meet their wives, and for
our families to eventually
create a total of at least 16
16
A member of the 2001 State Championship baseball team,
Dave Berthiaume, class of 2003, was the winning pitcher in
both the section and state
championship games.
He
went on to play baseball for
the College of Saint Scholastica
in Duluth. Dave also played
hockey, soccer and football. A
polished fast-pitch player, Dave
represented the U. S. on the
U19 Junior National team at the
ISF Junior World Tournament
in Sydney, Australia. He too is
currently an assistant coach for Dave Berthiaume
the Aggie softball team.
Dave was introduced by teammate, cousin, and classmate,
Paul Barrett. “It was a dream come true when my cousins came
to Saint Agnes. I had always wanted to play sports with them,
since I only have sisters and my dad worked 24-hour shifts at the
fire department.” Paul went on to say how “there’s no one like
Dave,” describing one crazy play-by-play moment after another,
which kept the audience on the edge of their seat until Dave
came forward to speak:
It is an honor to be standing here with legends like the Tibesars
and O’Connors. I give credit to my teammates and coaches for
much of my success. Ryan Collins and Greg Hoemke sure knew how
to put a line-up together. I also have to credit my brothers. I lost so
many times at whiffle ball in the back yard that I simply had to get
better. I also think that my wife Anne wouldn’t have dated me if it
weren’t for some of the success I had in athletics!
Here’s to the future
legends at Saint Agnes
School!

School’s Out for Mrs. Kampa!
A
fter 37 years in the main office
of Saint Agnes School, Mrs.
Mary Kampa has announced her
retirement for this December. Throughout
her time with our school, Mrs. Kampa has
been a stalwart presence in the main office
during periods of change, uncertainty, and
expansion. No matter what has changed,
her voice has remained a constant, whether
on the phone or over the intercom. She has
been a source of dependability over the years
– managing substitutes, maintaining student
files, writing hall passes, providing BandAids for skinned knees, sending transcripts
to graduates, and notarizing documents for
faculty. Mary has been the “go-to” person
for all things Saint Agnes.
With her professionalism, and passion
for her work and the school, Saint Agnes
staff and students will certainly miss Mrs.
Kampa. Please join us in celebration as we
recognize her countless years of service.

Class of 1965 50-Year Reunion
What a great turnout for the 50-year
Aggie reunion! Classmates traveled
from near and far, the farthest being
from Hawaii! The evening was
filled with reminiscing, school trivia
and a lovely dinner. Pictures and
yearbooks were out for everyone
to page through and remember the
“good ol’ days.”

The Class of 1970 had a successful 45-year reunion on
September 12. The reunion was held at Mancini’s Char House
in St. Paul. Classmates came from Arizona, Colorado and
Florida to catch up with old friends. We shared many fond
memories of our years together at Saint Agnes High School.
It was a wonderful time and we are looking forward to our
50th! See you all then.
We enjoyed another wonderful evening of good food, good
drink and good friends at Tom Reid’s Hockey City Pub in
St. Paul. If you’re part of the class of ‘75 and haven’t been
in touch, you can do so on Facebook. There are some 40
classmates connected on Facebook. Send a friend request to
Cathy Huss Mrosak and she will connect you to the group.
What a great night to celebrate! With memorabilia, a World’s
Finest Chocolate Bar and old yearbook photos of classmates
and teachers on display, we had a great time catching up with
one another at O’Gara’s in St. Paul. Classmates flew in from
Maryland, Boston and Nebraska to attend and we remembered
Matt St. Martin with a nice drawing done by Andre Puleo. See
you at the 30th!
We had a nice turnout for our 35th! It was a casual night at O’Gara’s Bar & Grill in St. Paul where 36 classmates, many with their
spouses, came together for a fun evening. We always enjoy looking back on our times in the halls of Saint Agnes.
20
The class of 2000 gathered at Grumpy’s in Roseville on July
25th to celebrate their 15-year reunion. It was a great time of
reconnecting with our classmates and telling many stories of
our time at Saint Agnes. We are looking forward to our 20-year
reunion in 2020!
The Saint Agnes Class of 1995 enjoyed a fun-filled evening
at the Machine Shed restaurant on July 18. Classmates and
guests enjoyed old photos, yearbooks and great conversation.
“Everyone picked up right where they left off!” was a common
quote of the evening. Even after the actual gathering was
finished, the party continued late into the evening. Although
it has been 20 years, we all agreed that we can still “do it up”
like the old days! Can’t wait for the next one!

From the advancement office
I am pleased to present the 2014-2015 Annual Report for Saint Agnes School. You will see that great
things are continuing to happen here.
I would like to begin with a sincere thank you to the 1,200 individuals who have given to Saint Agnes
over the past fiscal year! We are so grateful for your gifts. This year’s annual fund has raised $489,153.
As many of you know, it is an exciting time at Saint Agnes, with many successes to report!
• Enrollment continues to grow – we are now over 650 students.
• Athletics continue to thrive, with several of our teams making a run for the state tournament and
individual athletes who have received state recognition.
• Academics received a top honor rating from the Cardinal Newman Society for the fourth consecutive
year. ACT scores continue to be well above the state and national averages.
We also celebrated the opening of the new $18 million dollar Ubel Activity Center with a ribbon cutting by Archbishop Hebda in
October, and the solemn blessing and dedication by Bishop Cozzens on November 12. Students have begun using the facilities for
classes and the new gymnasium was host site for the Catholic Athletic Association volleyball playoffs at the end of October.
We are so very proud of our school’s accomplishments, and we are thankful for all those who have supported these efforts.
And yet, even with all of these positive changes, one thing remains constant – our mission to offer an outstanding Catholic
education to our students. Many of our students (almost 60%) require tuition assistance. These are hard working families who
make daily sacrifices in order for their children to attend Saint Agnes. We strive to remain an affordable option for families by
offering high school tuition at $9,900, junior high at $4,900, and grade school tuition at $4,400, still some of the lowest rates in
the Archdiocese.
Annual Giving is the largest source of scholarship income used to assist these families, without which many of whom may not
otherwise be able to attend Saint Agnes. In the words of Pope Benedict XVI, “Education is the most exciting and difficult
adventure in life,” and we whole-heartedly concur! This is why we ask that if you have not already given to the annual fund, you
prayerfully consider a gift at this time.
Help us continue the long-standing Aggie tradition of outstanding Catholic education for all families!
Thank you for your continued support.
