The Shawn Dougherty Scholarship
By Rachel Parker ’15
I
would like to recognize a family friend, Shawn Dougherty, whom I
consider to be very inspirational. I met Shawn when he, his wife, and
daughter relocated to my parish. To say the least, Shawn was an active
parish volunteer and our families became close friends.
About six years ago, Shawn was diagnosed with sarcoma cancer and
needed to stop doing one of the things that he loved the most—coaching
basketball. Shawn finished out the season then relayed his sad news to
the team. They were heartbroken. For the next three years Shawn kept up
the fight. He retired from his position as a detective for the United States
Postal Service and three weeks later was put on hospice. The following
week God called him home.
Shawn had a positive influence on many people and inspired me to do
my best while facing challenges head on. Shawn loved Disney World and
the slogan “A dream is a wish your heart makes.” From him, I learned not
to adjust my hopes and dreams, but to alter the steps along the way.
Shawn made a big impact on me and my actions. I try my best to
achieve goals and inspire others like he did. He truly stuck to his work,
used creativity, and was kind. Despite his challenges and obstacles he
always had a smile. Each day he woke up and carried his cross along his
journey. Nothing would get him down and his actions exemplified both
inspiration and leadership.
Thank You Shawn for inspiring me to be the best person that I can be!

The family of Shawn P. Dougherty began a scholarship for a girl from St. Agnes grade school who plans to attend a Catholic high
school. Shawn served as a CYO basketball coach at St. Agnes and passed away from cancer. He loved working, being of service
to others, and coaching CYO basketball!

P
eace and blessings to you as we celebrate the beautiful Advent and Christmas
Seasons. I pray that each of you be blessed at this very holy time of year as we
remember the birth of Jesus, our Savior. May we open our hearts to the graces He
brings to us as gifts! Count on surprises, too!
St. Paul, in the letter to the Colossians, tells us: “Dedicate yourselves to thankfulness.” (Col. 3:17). What great wisdom there is in taking time to pause in the midst
of so many activities to thank God and to thank each other for blessings given and
received. (Who remembers when we were told with the “advent” of the computer
age that we would have so much more time to relax, to just “be?”)
Let me begin by thanking each one of you for your ongoing relationship with
Bishop Shanahan High School. You may be a graduate, a past parent, a present parent, a grandparent, relative or friend. No matter what the relationship is, by keeping in touch, you are an integral part of a wonderful community that is dedicated
to providing a Catholic Education to young men and women, thus forming future
Catholic leaders for our church and our world. I thank you for your spiritual, moral
and financial support which permit us to partner with parents in the formation of
their children in a peaceful, safe, and happy environment. We thank God every day
for you.
May I take this opportunity to ask you to please be generous as we make our
annual appeal. “The Shanahan Fund” is a major source of financial aid for us. We use
the money received through it for tuition assistance, for new, creative educational
programs, and to offset the costs of our activities and sports offerings. We truly
cannot do it without you and I thank you for your generosity. Our goal this year is
$230,000. Thank you for helping us reach it!
In this “Year of Faith” we entrust our cares to the Lord. Bishop Shanahan High
School is alive and well. Our greatest desire is to continue to be able to offer our students an excellent, faith-filled education second to none. The goal of the Faith in the
Future Foundation is to provide a Catholic Education to all who desire one. May this
goal be realized; this dream come true. We thank the Foundation for all their efforts
on behalf of our students, present and yet to come. There is so much for which to be
grateful. Be sure to thank someone today!
God bless you! We are always happy to see you at BSHS. May the blessings of
these holy days be felt in your hearts and homes.
Thank you!
A Blessed and Merry Christmas to All!
Sincerely yours,

Gratitude: The Key to True Happiness
by Fr. Matt Guckin
O
ne virtue all happy people share is
gratitude.
Think about people you know who are
happy. I PROMISE you they are grateful for
what they have —regardless of what they
have or don’t have.
Just as Newton has his Law of Physics
regarding gravity, Jesus has His Law of
Happiness. And the Law of Happiness is
gratitude.
I always teach my students that trying to
be happy is a moral obligation. That’s simply
because happy people make the world a better place while unhappy people make the
world worse. Consequently we have the duty
to search for happiness. And happiness —
that contentedness of being characterized by
joy and peace —is found through gratitude.
It’s a Law of Jesus because of His invitation to celebrate the Eucharist. The word
Eucharist literally means “to give thanks.”
We don’t simply “go to Mass.” Instead
we’re called to participate in Mass by recalling the many ways God has blessed us and

“to give thanks.”
respond by saying “Thank You, Lord!”
Do you want happiness? Do you want to
make the world a better place? Think of your
blessings. Think of your gifts. Go to Mass
and give thanks to God for He is good and
His love endures forever! n
Students are grateful for their school
My time at Shanahan has been
the best time of my life.

“Mrs. C” Honored with 2012 Shanahan Medal
Service, Commitment, and Dedication
I
n 2002, the BSHS Administration initiated
the conferring of the Shanahan Medal at
Graduation. This medal is awarded to persons whose commitment, dedication, and
contribution to Catholic Education deserve
the recognition and gratitude of the Bishop
Shanahan Community. The three words
engraved on the back of the medal are:
Service, Commitment, and Dedication.
The honor for 2012 was to someone
whose distinguished career as an outstanding music educator has spanned three
decades. Throughout these years, the Bishop
Shanahan High School Community has benefited greatly from her dedication and her
commitment to excellence on behalf of her
students. The students themselves quote
her as often repeating: “I teach life through
music.”
The Shanahan Medal for 2012 was awarded on June 8, 2012 to Mrs. Margaret C.
Campbell, affectionately known as “Marge”
to her colleagues and as “Mrs. C.” to her students. Unique and gifted, she shares her talents with the Shanahan community, teaching
her students that music is “of the spirit” and
that they have a ministry to share.
Throughout the years, Mrs. Campbell has
taught Music Theory, Related Arts, conducted Mixed Chorus, Choral Ensemble, Select
Choir and various other choirs as the needs
arose. She has served as chairperson of the
Fine Arts Department, show producer and
director as well. Winning the B101 Choral
Competition in 2010 and having her choir
sing at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York
are just some of the highlights of her career
at Shanahan.
For many years, Mrs. Campbell has selflessly served the Archdiocese of Philadelphia
through her conducting skills and musical
gifts by her participation in diocesan liturgies, concerts and special events, sharing her
talents with generosity and grace whenever
called upon.
Mrs. Campbell is truly a woman of faith
and dedication with a song in her heart! n
Mrs. Margaret “Marge” Campbell receiving the Shanahan medal from Bishop Daniel Thomas.
I am ever so grateful that Shanahan has
afforded me the opportunity to share with
my students the love, passion and personal
growth—both spiritually and educationally
—that can be experienced through Fine Arts
education. These are all gifts from God!

“Xie, xie, Liu Lao Shi”
Mandarin at Shanahan
F
or many years, Shanahan has proclaimed that it is a school where
“opportunity abounds and excellence is
the norm,” and any invitation to broaden
and deepen opportunities for student
growth is welcome.
Spring of 2012 brought such an invitation. Through its ongoing cooperation
with the College Board, the Office of
Catholic Education was able to offer a
part-time Mandarin teacher to Shanahan
students.
The opportunity was unique since this
guest teacher from The People’s Republic
of China would not only teach Mandarin
but enrich the students with cultural
awareness.
This was a double blessing for
Shanahan since one of the Middle States
reaccreditation initiatives is global awareness. Students would not only have an
opportunity to study, research, and listen
to a speaker, but also to interact on a daily
basis. The students’ reaction was most
positive and students from grades 9, 10,
and 11 registered for the course. Mandarin
will also be offered in the 2013–2014 school
year so that Mandarin II may build on the
first year of study.
Mrs. Haiying Liu arrived in early August
and became the house guest of a Shanahan
teacher. She quickly adapted to Chester
County and was eager to make friends with
her new colleagues. The Shanahan teachers
soon found out that there were more similarities than differences teacher to teacher,
but were stunned to learn that the Chinese
school week is six and one half days long.
With the opening of the school year it
was time for Haiying to meet her students.
Like the line from Jerry Maguire, she “had
them at hello.” This instant connection is
best expressed in the students’ own words.
Freshman Anna Baffa comments, “I absolutely love Chinese class!” Another freshman, Mary Kate McCracken, supported the
sentiment by stating, “Chinese is my favorite
class! I look forward to learning new Chinese
words every day and I think that it is so cool
to speak Chinese words and phrases to my

I already can understand Chinese characters,

Mutual admiration developed quickly
between teacher and students. Mrs. Liu was
very impressed by the caliber and dedication
of her Shanahan students. Having prepared
what she considered a week’s worth of material for her first full week, Mrs. Liu had to

I am deeply impressed by the smart and
engaged students in Shanahan over the past
two months. I still remember how fast they
grasp all the new knowledge of this new language. It took them only three days to finish
all that had been intended to be taught in
one week. I am moved by their devotion
and desire to learn this language. I am lucky
to meet the principal, who totally supports
my teaching and I am lucky to meet all the
friends around me, who offer their help
whenever I am in trouble. It is their love
that helps me adapt to this foreign country
pretty fast and it is their selfless assistance
that solves all the potential difficulty in my
life and teaching. All these make me feel it
from the bottom of my heart that I am the
one who is blessed!

Estoy agradecido por….
Sin mi esposa (quien se graduó de Shanahan en
mil novecientos sesenta y ocho), yo no estaría vivo
hoy. Ella me cuidó despúes de mi cirugia a corazon
abierto con bypass cuádruple. Y ahora mismo ella
me cuida con mi cáncer incurable como resultado
de la exposicion al “agente naranja.” En mi mente,
las mejores cosas de la vida no son las cosas. Mi
esposa me ha salvado la vida.
I am thankful for…
Without my wife (who graduated from Shanahan in 1968), I would
not be alive right now. She took care of me after my open heart
quadruple bypass surgery and now she takes care of me with my
incurable cancer as a result of exposure to “agent
orange.” In my mind, the best things in life aren’t
things. My wife has saved my life.
Ciao a tutti,
Io avrei tante cose da ringraziare, ma quella piu’
importante e’ il miracolo della vita. Senza la mia
vita non potrei godere, apprezzare, conoscere,
scoprire e avere tutto quello che ho. Tutto
dipende e parte dal miracolo di una vita che mi e’
stata donata. Quindi io ringrazio I miei genitori
e tutti quelli che combattono e pregono per il
“rispetto per la vita”. Senza una vita non avrei
potuto avere I miei bambini e non avrei potuta
essere qui a BSHS dove tutto e’ testimone di vita,
con 1300 studenti, tanti talenti e tanto affetto.

Greetings to everyone,
I have many, many things to be grateful for, but the most important
one is the miracle of life.” Without life, my life, I wouldn’t be able
to travel, admire new places, learn new things, meet new people.
Everything starts and begins with that little miracle of life. So, I
thank my parents for choosing life and all those who fight, protect
and pray for the “Respect Life” movement. Without life I wouldn’t
have had my children and I wouldn’t have been able to be at BSHS
where I am surrounded by many miracles (1,170
students), many talents and lots of love.

Je suis reconnaissant de la force spirituelle et de la

parents qui ont partagé leur foi avec moi. Je suis
reconnaissante pour ma fille et beaucoup d’autres
bénédictions chaque jour de ma vie.
I am grateful for the spiritual strength and the direction that the gift
of the Holy Spirit has brought me all my life. I am grateful to my
good parents who shared their faith with me. I am
thankful for my daughter and many other blessings
every day of my life.
Gratias ago Deo propter entem. Esse bonum est.
Est perfectio omnium perfectionum, id quod facit

I give God thanks for being. Existence is good. It is
the perfection of all perfections, that which makes
all things good. At dawn I get up already being, and
I’m not able to fail to be. God said “I AM who am.”
I say “I’m with You. Game on!”

t has been a longstanding dream of the
Shanahan Music Department to resurrect
the Bishop Shanahan Marching Band which
disbanded in the early ’70s. The department
already has an outstanding reputation with
its concert band, jazz band, string ensemble,
and pep band, but a major piece was still
missing. Sister Regina Plunkett, Sr. Maureen
McDermott, and Music Director and Fine
Arts Department Chairperson, Mr. Chuck
Keating hoped to realize this dream, as did
the students of the music department.
In 2011, a grant proposal was made to
the Connelly Foundation, who generously
awarded the grant to purchase new computers, software, and instruments, including outdoor percussion instruments. The
Connelly Foundation continues to be a faithful supporter of Catholic education and
Bishop Shanahan High School.
In 2012, the Nick Smiles on the Fine Arts
Foundation generously awarded a grant to
purchase 125 band uniforms. The proceeds
raised from the Foundation’s 2011 and 2012
5K runs funded the grant.

Mrs. Liu initially introduced herself to

Unanimously, the students now echo their

hanahan has recently obtained, through a generous grant from
the Connelly Foundation, a membership in the Jesuit Virtual
Learning Academy (JVLA). At this time, Bishop Shanahan is the
only non-Jesuit high school being afforded this educational opportunity. This means that unique courses taught in the Jesuit tradition
can now be offered to students as an online option. Some of the
online courses include: AP Art History, AP Computer Science, AP
Music Theory, AP Environmental Science, and Beginning Arabic.
Through this virtual learning program, Shanahan can continue
to grow its course selection and offer students the opportunity to
take courses for which they possess a particular passion. Currently,
nine students are enrolled in the JVLA.
Partnership with Widener University
S
hanahan will partner with Widener University in the Fall,
2013 to bring an Engineering class to its growing curriculum.
Shanahan students will be able to earn college credits by taking
part in this program. This course will be in addition to a PreEngineering/Computer Aided Design (CAD) course which has been
offered by the Mathematics Department for several years.

egun in 2011-12 school year, the one-on-one program
required that all incoming freshmen have netbook computers
which are used in the classroom environment to enhance the learning experience. Freshmen enrolling for the 2013-14 school year will
be required to have tablets, as Shanahan strives to stay technologically current. By Fall, 2014, the goal is for all Shanahan students to
be using one-on-one technology.

Blessings Along the Camino de Santiago
By Laura Trusila
Class of 2009 (We’re so fine.)
I
’ve heard it said that you are blessed if you
can look back on your life and recognize
the moments where your life changed, and
you are even more blessed if you have the
wisdom to see those life changes while they
are happening. My mom, in her motherly
wisdom, saw it, but I didn’t.
“Your trip is going to be life changing,”
she said. I didn’t quite believe her. Sure,
spending most of July 2012 hiking 200 miles
across Spain would have to change me somehow, but I had no clue as to how much. I was
thinking of the Camino as a hike, not as its
true purpose, a pilgrimage.
Saint James the Greater was so on fire
with the faith after seeing his best friend die
and rise again, that he needed to tell anyone
and everyone all about Jesus. The Camino
de Santiago, also called “The Way of Saint
James,” is a pilgrimage throughout Spain
that follows the footsteps of Jesus’ apostle as
he evangelized. For over a thousand years,
pilgrims have been making their ways to the
Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela where
Saint James the Greater is buried.
After seeing the movie The Way, I had
wanted to walk the Camino alone. I did a
lot of research and blog-reading to know
that English is a common second language
in Spain, so the fact that I didn’t remember
much past “hola” after years of Spanish at
Shanahan didn’t worry me. It worried my
mom though. She wanted me to find a group
of Americans to go with.
I went to Spain with FOCUS, Fellowship
of Catholic University Students. The ten
people in the group turned out to be the
reason that blisters, heat, language barriers,
more blisters, and hostels were blessings.
They were the most joyous people I had ever
met. Much to the surprise of fellow travelers,
the eleven of us became best friends within a
few minutes of meeting because we had the
deepest possible connection. God was at the
center of our lives and thus, He was also at
the center of our friendship.
Our authentic joy radiated and attracted

others. We met two atheists along the way
who kept asking about and discovering more
Truth each time we walked with them.
One of my favorite memories took place
in the lobby of a hostel. We were praying our
daily Rosary aloud, with a new leader jumping in each new decade. On the fifth Joyful
Mystery, an unfamiliar voice started the Our
Father. He had heard us praying and quietly
joined us. It was such a beautiful surprise to
hear him lead us in prayer and know he took
a few moments out of his day to praise God
because of our example.
We arrived in Santiago on July 24th,
the eve of Saint James’ feast day. Our hostel
had been reserved months beforehand, but
something went wrong. Turns out our reservations had us leaving the day we actually
arrived. As the celebrations for Saint James’
feast day are bigger than our Independence
Day, the entire city was booked solid with
pilgrims. We resolved to camp out.
But God is good. As if He hadn’t proven
that enough times in my life so far, He came
through for us again that day.
As the eleven of us sat down to lunch,
a lady came up to us asking if we needed
a place to stay. She and her mother ran an
apartment-style hostel just a block away
from the Cathedral. Her hostel had two beds
to a room instead of fifty bunk beds in a huge
room. By God’s providence, she still had five
rooms left and even gave them to us at a discounted rate since it was so late.
I didn’t see it until it was time to say our
goodbyes that God had used my ten fellow
pilgrims to change my life. He was there as
they patiently taught me to view my sufferings as blessings. Aching feet meant that I
had feet to walk on. A bathroom was a blessing and one with toilet paper was a luxury.
A heavy backpack reminded me that buying
useless stuff is weighing me down.
I didn’t realize all the prayer, all the time
spent in silence with God, all the answered
faith questions, and all the laughter we
shared would combine to change my heart.
After a month spent without my phone or
computer, I came home with a better understanding of God’s precious gift of time that I
should be using for His glory, and not to idle
my life away procrastinating.
I’ve noticed that I have grown in patience
and genuine love for others. I now catch
myself before I open my mouth to complain.
I have a long way to go, but I can say with
certainty that the Camino was God’s gift to
me that pointed my life straight toward Him.
¡Buen Camino! n

on. My personal mission is to love. If I can
make just one kid smile, I will call my time
there a success!
You were talking about the school’s mission to increase global awareness and I
would love to contribute what I can to that. I
feel that awareness of not only international
work, but serving fellow man and recognizing Christ in every human life needs to be a
crucial part of a student’s life in high school.
Peace and Love,
Daniel Glass
Update – Thanksgiving 2012
All is well in Wau! Teaching and working with the children is going great! I teach a few
sections of English and Math to older students who are studying for a vocational trade (such
as auto mechanics, masonry, carpentry etc.). In addition to these students, I teach a handful of
street children who are taking classes at the VTC (I teach math and English for them as well). Grateful for the Shanahan Legacy

Kate and Dave in High School –
cutest couple
High School Sweethearts x 2!
By Kate Conway ’05 and Dave Grady ’05
(pictured above)
D
ave and I met our freshman year at
Shanahan. We were originally scheduled to
have all eight of our classes together. However,
after switching math classes, we were left with
six periods together. So, we saw each other
quite a bit during the day. Ironically, we really
hit it off in Chemistry. I sat at the lab table in
front of Dave and turned around to talk to him
any opportunity I was provided. A few days after
that first school year ended, I knew I wanted
to see him again. I invited a few of our friends
over to hang out, go to the local pool and come
back to my house for some pizza. We hung out
for the next three days. We went to movies, got
ice cream, and played basketball together. On
the fifth day, he asked me out… on AOL instant
messenger. I said yes. Ten years later, he asked
me to marry him and again, I said yes!
Our time at Shanahan were wonderful
foundational years in our relationship. We were
inseparable. We shared a locker, walked to
classes, ran on the track team and participated
in the bowling league. We had many of our
classes together. One of our fondest memories
is the Halloween costume contest. We spent
weeks brainstorming what our costume would
be. Dave had a great idea—we could dress up
as the men’s and women’s bathroom signs. We
worked on them in his basement: measuring,
drawing, and painting. We won cutest couple in
both the Halloween contest and overall!
My parents Frank ’79 and Beth Simasek
Conway ’80 also went to Shanahan and started
dating early in high school. They went on to
10
Shanahan
| Winter 2012
date through college and got married soon after
graduating. They had four children, three who
attended Shanahan.
When Dave and I started thinking about our
engagement photos, we both agreed that taking
them at Shanahan would be perfect. It is where
we met and where we fell in love. We contacted
Mrs. Morin about getting into the school and
she worked with us to make it happen. We are
so appreciative. Chris Anderson ’05, Dave’s
best friend, best man, fellow Shanahan grad,
and a photographer for Artistic Difference, took
our photos for us.
Dave and I couldn’t be happier and we can’t
wait to spend our lives together! n

Grateful to God
Mary Beth Devenny ’06
Alumna and Faculty Member
S
eptember 2002, I walked through the
front doors of Bishop Shanahan High
School as an insecure, nervous, overwhelmed
freshman girl who had questions, opinions,
hopes and dreams for my future years at this
new school. Who would I become? What
friends will I make? What teachers will I
have and how will they impact me? These,
along with hundreds (at least it seemed like
hundreds) of questions ran through my
mind. Little did I know that my life at BSHS
formed me into the successful, independent,
faith-filled, adventurous woman I am today.
September 2012, ten years after walking
through the Shanahan front doors for the
first time, I roam through the halls on the
“other side.” Memories flood through my
soul and flashbacks overtake my mind each
step I take through this glorious school. Who
knew I would be coming back as a faculty
member at my Alma Mater?
God always has a way to surprise me.
In the summer of 2011, He led me to
Montenegro, Peru for a few weeks to seek
his needy children. The IHM Sisters have a
beautiful mission in Peru and the school I
worked closely with is called Fe y Alegria No.
37. I taught English to the high school children and I fell completely in love and I knew
I would have to return and bring others to
share this indescribable discovery.
In July of 2012, I returned with a group
of friends and these children stole an even
larger chunk of my heart and taught me
an inspiring lesson. The children live in
extreme poverty, yet, they thirst for education and beg not to leave this safe haven they
call school. I had a profound moment while
teaching this summer and started to tear up.
I realized how lucky I was to have grown up
the way that I did. I went to SS. Simon and
Jude School, Bishop Shanahan High School,
and Immaculata University, all excellent
educational institutions. I stood before these
children and realized that most will never
have the opportunity for University education, yet, they do not care. They are so thankful for the education they have and they take
advantage of anything that is offered. As
simple as that may sound, it struck a nerve
inside of me that I cannot let go.
Last year, money was collected during
a charity day at BSHS and the money was
donated to Fe y Alegria. With this money,
Sr. Barbara Burnett, the principal, was able
to build a new library and stock the shelves
with brand new books. The new library was
named “The Bishop Shanahan Library.”
Over the last few weeks, as I walk the
halls of Bishop Shanahan as a teacher, I realize how lucky I am to be back at BSHS. I
have never been more thankful to Our Lord,
for the gift of a great education that includes
the beauty of our Faith. The Holy Spirit is
all over this place and God is at hand. He is
working wonders and opening the hearts of
thousands of the youth that roam through
these halls, whether they realize it or not.
He builds us into courageous beings that are
able to ask Him of His love, seek His love and
knock on the door of His heart. Thank you
Lord, for challenging me to “Seek the things
that are found above.” n

Generosity for Years to Come
… it is in giving that we receive …
By Leo Parsons ’78, Chair of the BSHS
Advisory Board
A
s many of you know, our BSHS Advisory
Board has been very focused on raising our Endowment Fund from $10,000
in 2006 to over $1,000,000. I am happy to
report that we are making tremendous progress through our FACES campaign and our
annual Endowment Golf Outing and, as of
September 2012, these efforts have resulted
in over $973,000 in Endowment dollars! We
are confident that through your continued
support and the work of our Board, we will
surpass our $1M goal this year and with
Sister Regina and Sister Maureen’s prayers,
we expect to hit our goal by Christmas!
Speaking of Christmas, we have
often heard that “…it is in giving that
we receive…” In helping with our FACES
Endowment Fund campaign, I have had the
opportunity to talk with people about our
mission at Shanahan and the need that exists
right here in our beautiful county. Every
year, families are impacted by loss of jobs,
health issues or lack of earning potential
and cannot afford to send their children to
Shanahan. Worse yet, some are forced to pull
their child from Shanahan and find a lower
cost alternative.
Over the past few years volunteering, I
received the gift of getting to know Oscar
and Vivian Lasko more closely. They are a
local, West Chester family of Jewish faith
who just this year made a major contribution to our FACES campaign. Oscar Lasko,
a successful entrepreneur and businessman,
helped his father grow and develop Lasko
Products, a global consumer products business, and learned the value of integrity, honesty, trust and loyalty. He supports Catholic
education and the development of children
with Christian values because of the relationships he has formed with Catholics throughout his life here in West Chester. Some of
those relationships include employees and
suppliers of Lasko Products.

deep respect prior to Monsignor’s death.

I am grateful to the Laskos for their

assistance and scholarships for generations
to come. Through their spirit and generosity, young men and women will have the
opportunity to attain the Catholic values
and education that will help them to be the
trusted employee, friend and neighbor that
enables our communities to thrive. I thank
Oscar and Vivian for giving me the opportunity to see their goodness and the respect
they place on youth, and for their vision that
transcends religions. Our Shanahan community is blessed to have so many friends like

O
ctober 13th dawned crystal clear for the first
annual Shanahan Sprint for the benefit of our
endowment program. Volunteers met by the frosty
football field at 6:30 am to prepare for the day. The
5K Off-Road Run/1 Mile Walk and Kids Dash was the
first of its kind — a new endeavor by the Endowment
Committee of the Bishop Shanahan Advisory Board.
Over $7,000 was raised to help toward reaching the
$1 million Endowment goal for tuition assistance. The
Endowment mission is to provide every child with the
gift of Catholic education regardless of their financial
situation.
With Endowment Chair Leslie Kelso, P’08, ’11
and Sprint Chair Walter Tatrowicz, P’04, ’11 at the
helm and many hours of preparation by volunteers,
the day was spectacular! Over 300 alumni, students,
parents and their families came to show their support
for tuition assistance. The Bishop Shanahan Parents
Association manned the food tables, and Shanahan art
students painted children’s faces in the children’s tent.
The pièce de résistance was Bishop Shanahan’s band
playing while the run/walk was taking place. Old and
young enjoyed a wonderful day of camaraderie, fun

Golf Outing scores perfect record
6 in a Row!
W
e truly have been blessed! Our 6th Annual
Endowment Fund Golf Outing, held on Tuesday,
September 11th was everything we had prayed for and
more. Thanks to all of our very generous supporters, the
Endowment Fund, created for tuition assistance for students
who desire but cannot afford a quality Catholic Education,
has benefited once again! This year’s golf outing raised over
$62,000. The day would not have been possible without
the hard work and dedication of our Golf Committee: John
Morrissey (Chair), Leo Parsons, Jack Enoches, Brendan
Kelly, Leslie Kelso, Carol Loffredo, Glenn Marshall, Courtney
Mulvey Lofgren, Rich Miller, Mike Parker, Rose Pera, Kevin
Quinn, Rob Reynolds, Larry Skahan, Diane Ward, Sr. Regina
Plunkett, Sr. Maureen McDermott, Maureen Morin, and Deb
LaPorta. This year’s $10,000 raffle winner was Joe Skahan.
Thank you so much for all of your support!
Lisa and Bill Boland, Laurie Davis, and Gary Gilligan enjoy the Golf Outing!

Auction
‘Take Me Out to the Ball Game’ is Shanahan’s
25th Auction & Restaurant Fair
Thank you for your loyal support!
O
ver the past 25 years,
Shanahan parents have journeyed from the Serengeti to the
Eiffel Tower. They have been in
gardens and forests and on the red
carpet. They have traveled from
medieval times to the 1950s. They
have gone to the seashore and now
to the ball game.
These are just a few of the various auction themes we’ve enjoyed
over the past 25 years. What began
as a group of parents wanting to
give back to Bishop Shanahan with
their time, talent, and treasure has
grown into our major annual fundraiser by parents for our students.
It takes months and countless volunteers to prepare for each event.
But the effort is well rewarded as
the front lobby and gym area are
magically transformed by decorators’ imaginations. Hundreds of
items arrived for both the silent
and live auctions. The monies
raised go directly towards helping
our Shanahan students.
In addition to the auction,
many local eating establishments supply their “fare” for the
Restaurant Fair portion of the evening. It’s a great way to taste a
wide variety of dishes all arranged
under one roof!

The Shanahan Fund
WITHOUT YOU…
We Couldn’t Have Done It!
T
hanks to the generosity of over 1,000 Shanahan Fund donors, the 2011–2012 Shanahan Fund
shattered our previous year’s total and exceeded our longstanding goal of $225,000 — we received
$226,319 by June 30, 2012! Thank you seems SO small for such great generosity! The administration, faculty, staff, and students of Bishop Shanahan would like to thank our faithful supporters who responded to
our “call to action.” You are remembered daily in our prayers.
Last year, four archdiocesan high schools came close to closing their doors forever, but thousands of
donors stepped forward to insure the future of these schools. We in the Shanahan community cannot be
complacent —we must continue to promote and preserve our mission here to spread the Word of God
through education. How can you do that? By supporting the Shanahan Fund!
Our goal for the 2012-2013 year is $230,000. Let’s continue to strive to make Shanahan the best it can
be! May God bless you for your goodness.
