A Message From the Principal:
Dear O’Gorman Parents & Students:
As we begin the final month of the fall semester and move into the Christmas season, I would like to share a
reflection with all of you. At this time of the year we look forward to giving and receiving gifts from one
another. I believe Catholic education is a gift, and the SFCS community gains immeasurable benefits from this
gift each day.
At O’Gorman we are blessed to have the opportunity to learn about and practice our faith, to serve others and to
build our relationship with Jesus Christ. Our mission directs us to model Gospel values, and to nurture our faith.
This is what Catholic education provides. Catholic education is the gift that just keeps on giving. We would
like to wish all of our families a safe and blessed Advent and Christmas season and a Joyous New Year!
STUDENT SCHEDULES:
After Christmas break students will receive their spring semester schedules on Tuesday, January 5th. Students
will have until Friday, January 8th to drop and add courses. Please remember that we will add a student to a
course if an opening is available. However, we will not overload a course unless it is the only way to make a
student’s schedule complete.

O Come, O Come Emmanuel !
Advent at O†Gorman
Operation Advent
“Christ continues to call out to us, asking us to love and serve him by tending to our brothers and
sisters in need.”
-Pope Francis
This year O†Gorman students and staff are adopting the Bishop Dudley Hospitality House for
Advent. This the first Christmas for BDHH, and is the start of what we at OG hope will be a long
tradition of support between our students and the poorest of the poor in the Sioux Falls Community.
With everyone’s help, we will make sure that all who stay in BDHH on Christmas Eve will wake up
with a gift Christmas morning. 175 adult stockings and 40 child stockings will be filled with items
that the guests of BDHH often have to share or go without. Razors, deodorant, socks, hats, gloves,
shampoo, conditioner and more will bless each individual. Children will receive many of these same
items as well as a toy. We are grateful for our calling and for having the opportunity to serve Christ in
our community.
In addition to the stockings, each student advisory group will fill boxes with items that the BDHH can
use throughout the year: towels, bed sheets, etc. A complete list of requested items can be found
below.
Parents are welcome and encouraged to participate in this opportunity. The final advisory collection
will take place on Thursday, December 17. Collection boxes are available throughout the high school.
May Jesus Christ reign in your heart this Advent season!
Eucharistic Adoration
Advent Reconciliation
All are invited to spend some time in adoration
of our Eucharistic Lord on Friday, December 10.
On Wednesday, December 16, priests of the
Sioux Falls area will be at O†Gorman HS to
offer the sacrament of penance to students
and staff.

Faith Focus
Hello, my name is John Brule. Life can be stressful sometimes. As a high school student at O’Gorman, I know
this. There is always so much I want to do and not nearly enough time to do it all AND get enough sleep.
Between all the homework and extracurricular activities, it seems like I’m up until 2:00am every other night
trying to finish homework. I have often found that I can’t do everything I want to do as well as I want to do it.
This is stressful, but I have found a remedy in my faith.
At this point in my life, I am just beginning to look for my place in the world, and I am also trying to figure out
my vocation. In the midst of all these things that put stress on me, my faith comforts me. The reason is that with
faith comes trust in God. God has a role and plan for each and every one of us, and something that I know is that
God will never give me or anyone a load that is too heavy to bear. When I feel an inability to do something, I
place my trust in God to give me the strength to accomplish whatever I am called to do. If I can’t do something, it
is because God did not mean for me to be able to do it. This of course does not mean that I don’t have to try my
best. We are always called to work to the best of our abilities! What it does mean is that if we consistently say yes
to God and try our best to do His will, He will lead us to where He intends us to go, and this will make us happy.
Doing this requires trust in God. Without God, we are led to anxiety. This is why it is important to have a strong
faith life. The better you know God and the more you know about Him, the better you will be able to trust Him.
The best way to accomplish this is through prayer and reading the Bible. Doing these things really help me. The
Bible triggers memories of the lessons I learned in theology class, and the more I reflect on these, the better I can
understand God’s will for my life. Understanding leads me to deeper trust in God and the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

SENIORS: If you haven’t started the college application process, you should do so ASAP! Applications should be
submitted by Christmas break. The application process affects deadlines on scholarships, financial aid, and college
housing. If you need help, come see us!
SENIOR ATHLETES who plan to participate in college athletics must register with the NCAA
(www.eligibilitycenter.org) or NAIA (www.playnaia.org) to confirm academic eligibility for college programs. See
Mr. Hagg for more information.
SHADOWING: The Shadow Ed representative (Linda Rodman) is at our school during 4B and 5C lunch periods
every Friday that school is in session. Students interested in shadowing a particular career field should stop by the
Counseling Office or contact her at [email protected].
CAREER/COLLEGE INFORMATION: www.SDMyLife.com is an online college and career information
system available to all students. Students who need their login information should come to the Counseling Office.
There is also an ACT Prep program called Method Test Prep, check it out.
COLLEGE FINANCIAL AID NIGHT: On Monday, January 11th at 6:30 p.m. in the Lorang Theatre, we will
be hosting a Financial Aid Information Night. The program is designed to provide parents with the information
needed to apply for college financial aid, as well as to explain the entire process and discuss the FAFSA (Free
Application for Federal Student Aid). Our presenter will be from the Financial Aid Office at the University of Sioux
Falls. This meeting is especially important for seniors and their parents. Junior parents are also encouraged to
come, as this is an excellent opportunity to learn more about the process. We should conclude by 7:30 p.m.
PSAT: The results of the PSAT will be available in early December. It was administered at O’Gorman on October
14th to 100 sophomores & juniors. Results will be given to the students as soon as they become available.

REGISTRATION FOR 2016-2017 will take place in late January and early February. Counselors will provide
students with registration information, and students will register online. AP courses and senior Theology courses
require an application. Information regarding AP courses will be available online in January. Specific registration
information will be provided in the January Knight Letter.
PEER RELATIONS: December’s virtue is Service. Service can come in many forms and Christmas is a time with
ample opportunities. The Advent project for the Bishop Dudley Hospitality House is an example of how the
O’Gorman students and staff will serve our community. If you are looking for a service opportunity, a great local
opportunity is the Sioux Falls Cares organization. There is no wrong way to serve as long as you make time for it!
“Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.” –Mother Teresa
PEER RELATIONS REPORTING is available on the OGHS homepage. Use this tool to report concerns you
have about peers or yourself. Remember Mrs. Jones and Mr. Hagg’s doors are always open to talk about personal,

Spotlight on the Holidays
www.istockphoto.com #14975339
The holidays -- Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s Day -- are upon us once again, and while we look forward to
enjoying these special days, we sometimes become over-involved and too stressed out! Why not take some time this year to
celebrate in one of these four ways…
1.


Find a new hobby or learn a new skill.
There are all kinds of classes offered, such as cooking, dancing, or photography.
Why not try a new sport or activity, such as skiing, snowboarding, or an indoor activity? Be creative.
2. Relax and breathe.
 Put on quiet music, close your eyes, pray, and breathe slowly.
 Go to a spa. Have a massage.
 Turn off your Internet, phone, or other devices and keep from being distracted.
3. GIVE.
 Give to your family and friends.
 Give of your time, talents, and money to help others in need. You will be blessed twice over!
4. READ A BOOK!
 This is a great time of year to pick up a book that you have been wanting to read. See some suggestions below.
Doerr, Anthony. All the Light We Cannot See :A Novel.
This is a stunningly ambitious and beautiful novel about a blind French girl and a German boy whose paths collide in occupied France
as both try to survive the devastation of World War II. Marie Laure lives with her father in Paris within walking distance of the Museum
of Natural History where he works as the master of the locks (there are thousands of locks in the museum). When she is six, she goes
blind, and her father builds her a model of their neighborhood, every house, every manhole, so she can memorize it with her fingers and
navigate the real streets with her feet and cane. When the Germans occupy Paris, father and daughter flee to Saint-Malo on the Brittany
coast, where Marie-Laure's agoraphobic great uncle lives in a tall, narrow house by the sea wall. In another world in Germany, an
orphan boy, Werner, grows up with his younger sister, Jutta, both enchanted by a crude radio Werner finds. He becomes a master at
building and fixing radios, a talent that wins him a place at an elite and brutal military academy and, ultimately, makes him a highly
specialized tracker of the Resistance. Werner travels through the heart of Hitler Youth to the far-flung outskirts of Russia, and finally
into Saint-Malo, where his path converges with Marie-Laure.
McCullough, David G. The Wright Brothers.
As he did so brilliantly in THE GREAT BRIDGE and THE PATH BETWEEN THE SEAS, David McCullough once again tells a
dramatic story of people and technology, this time about the courageous brothers who taught the world how to fly, Wilbur and Orville
Wright.
Carlson, Melody. The Christmas Cat.
Returning home at Christmas, a young man receives an inheritance he never expected--six cats in need of homes.

Kerr, Philip. The Winter Horses.
Kalinka, a Ukrainian Jewish girl on the run from the Nazis, finds unlikely help from two rare Przewalski horses.
VanLiere, Donna. The Christmas Light.
In the small town of Grandon, five very different people discover the true meaning of Christmas. Jennifer and Ryan are both
single parents, struggling with their own losses and heartache. Sixteen-year-old Kaylee is faced with a life-changing situation
that has affected her whole family. Stephen and Lily are happily married and ready to start a family. All of them are facing their
own struggles, and all are finding their way through the dark. When they are brought together for a rather unconventional church
Nativity, they will learn that with strength, courage, and love, there is always hope.
Weintraub, Stanley. A Christmas far from Home : An Epic Tale of Courage and Survival during the Korean War.
From an acclaimed historian, the dramatic story of the Christmas escape of thousands of American troops overwhelmingly
surrounded by the enemy in Korea's harsh terrain. Just before Thanksgiving in 1950, five months into the Korean War, General
MacArthur flew to American positions in the north and grandly announced an 'end-the-war-by-Christmas' offensive despite
recent intervention by Mao's Chinese, who would soon trap tens of thousands of US troops poised toward the Yalu River border.
Led by Marines, an overwhelmed X Corps evacuated the frigid, mountainous Chosin Reservoir fastness and fought a swarming
enemy and treacherous snow and ice to reach the coast. Weather, terrain, Chinese firepower, and a 4,000-foot chasm made
escape seem impossible in the face of a vanishing Christmas. But endurance and sacrifice prevailed, and the last troop ships
weighed anchor on Christmas Eve.
Reedy, Trent. Divided we fall : 1.
Danny Wright, 17, joined the Idaho Army National Guard to serve the country as his father had, but when the Guard is sent to an
anti-government protest in Boise and Danny's gun accidently fires, he finds himself at the center of a conflict that results in the
federal government declaring war on Idaho.

Cairney, John. Immaculate : A History of Perfect Innings in Baseball.
Getting three batters out in order on nine pitches is one of the most remarkable feats in baseball. Since the late 1800s, only 71
pitchers have been able to do it. Yet, unlike other rare achievements in baseball, such as pitching a perfect game, the immaculate
inning does not capture the same attention or consideration. In a game that is as unpredictable as baseball, perfection, when it
occurs, should be cause for both reflection and celebration. In Immaculate, Cairney provides a short history of perfect innings
through the stories of the pitchers who pitched them. Beginning with an brief overview of the numbers, the remaining chapters,
one for each immaculate inning on record in major baseball, provides insight into the men, their careers and details of the inning
itself, from the first recorded perfect inning in 1889 to the most recent string of innings last MLB season in 2014. The names
include pitching greats such as Jim Bunning, Sandy Koufax, Nolan Ryan and Randy Johnson, but also many lesser known, if not
colorful, pitchers like Sloppy Thurston and Bill Wilson. The teams include famous franchises like the Detroit Tigers and the
New York Yankees, but also clubs now defunct like the Boston Beaneaters and the Montreal Expos. Using immaculate innings
as benchmarks, the book provides an engaging and entertaining journey through the history of professional baseball that will
delight both the serious student of the game, as well as the fan who enjoys reading about the game.
Kirkpatrick, Jane. The Memory Weaver : A Novel.
Eliza was just a child when she was taken hostage by the Cayuse Indians during a massacre in 1847. Now her husband wants to
make a new start in another territory—the land of her captivity. Can she lay the dark past to rest and move on? Or will her
childhood memories always hold her hostage?
Martin, Charles. Water from my Heart : A Novel.
Charlie Finn had to grow up fast, living alone by age sixteen. Highly intelligent, he earned a life-changing scholarship to
Harvard, where he learned how to survive and thrive on the outskirts of privileged society. That skill served him well in the
cutthroat business world, as it does in more lucrative but dangerous ventures he now operates off the coast of Miami. Charlie
tries to separate relationships from work. But when his choices produce devastating consequences, he sets out to right wrongs,
traveling to Central America where he will meet those who have paid for his actions, including a woman and her young
daughter. Will their fated encounter present Charlie with a way to seek the redemption he thought was impossible--and free his
heart to love one woman as he never knew he could?
