Alumni, Parents, Grandparents,
Friends and Business Partners,
Thank you! As we prepare this year’s Annual Magazine I cannot help but
reflect on the many ways people give of their time, talent and treasure to our
foundation and high school. Helias Foundation sponsors several events each
year on behalf of Helias Catholic and its ongoing mission of raising funds by
increasing the endowment to benefit the high school long-term.
The outpouring of support from alumni, friends of Helias and businesses
is overwhelming. Helias Foundation and Helias Catholic High School are
very fortunate to have so many generous people who give to our foundation
and school because they recognize the importance that it has had in their
lives and they want to be a part of a community working together to make
Helias an even better place. Whether it be through volunteering to help on
a committee, giving of their time to help with various activities and events,
sharing their talent to help the benefit of Helias and our students, or giving a
financial gift, we are very blessed.
MIKE BRUNS
I have often shared my experience and heard other alumni and friends talk
about their Helias experience and how it transforms student’s lives and
prepares them to have positive impact within their families, community, and
places of employment. Visiting with people around the school and in the
community the “Helias Family” is mentioned frequently. It is a wonderful
feeling to go so many places and run into someone who went to Helias or
knows a Helias graduate.
It is incumbent upon the Foundation to ensure that they build a financial
base in order to continue to provide an exemplary learning environment for
future generations. The Foundation is able to do this by supporting longterm financial stability for a quality Helias Catholic education based in faith,
knowledge and service to others.

Sincerely,

ALUMNI NEWS
Kaitlyn Shea, ’15 was
named the Ohio Valley
Conference Female
Freshman of the Year in
Cross Country. Kaitlyn
is attending Southeast
Missouri State University
and put together an
impressive season
finishing either first or
second for the Redhawks in all four regular season
meets. The OVC Freshman of the Year Award was
established in 2005. Kaitlyn is the first Southeast female
athlete to receive the honor.
Matt Rundle, ’11 lives
his faith and utilitizes
the critical thinking
skills he formed as a
Crusader. As someone
who walked the
hallways of Helias,
he also understands
the importance of
connecting with
current students, who
need the opportunity
to associate former
students to their
current reality. Matt
remembers the
challenges of deciding
on a life path, all the
while earning good grades, and being an active member
of the Helias community.
“Helias was both a great incubator and launch pad for
me as I prepared to leave home for college and beyond,”
stated Matt. “I think it's important for students to be
ambitious about their future, whether that leads them to
study music, philosophy, computers, or whatever. Helias
provided me with lifelong friends and an encouraging
environment that allowed me to pursue my goals. The
fostering environment and academic preparation I
received of Helias prepared me to accept Notre Dame
and have a firm footing there intellectually,” said Matt.
Not only did Helias equip Matt with a strong academic
foundation, but strongly rooted his faith in God. While
at Helias, Matt participated in two school sponsored
mission trips to the Sonora Desert of Mexico. Due to the
remote nature of these villages, regional priests could
not visit these communities during Holy Week. Matt’s
work on this trip brought the Holy Eucharist to during this
important liturgical week. These mission trips, provided
by the Campus Ministry office at Helias, nurtured the
seeds of Matt’s faith.
At Notre Dame, Matt majored in Computer Science
while also studying abroad in London, and earning a
spot on the club rowing team. In addition to excelling in
his academic endeavors he interned here in Jefferson
City with Huber & Associates and then for GE Aviation.
Graduating cum laude from Notre Dame opened wide
doors of opportunity within the technology community.
Matt currently works for Amazon in Seattle as a Software
Developer. At Amazon, he contributes to the design,
development, testing and maintenance of software for
the software defined network stake for Amazon’s Elastic
Cloud Computing services.
Matt’s experiences at Helias and Notre Dame prepared
him to live his faith. Matt’s mother, Mrs. Joan Rundle
believes, “I can’t say enough about the firm foundation
my son received at Helias that has continued to help him
reach new heights and explore what is possible.” Strong
schools build up strong students and communities, and
Helias strives to strengthen the academic, faith, and
physical development of students.
Fr. Christopher Rehagen, ’05
was ordained a priest of the
Holy Cross Fathers on April
11, 2015 in the Basilica of the
Sacred Heart on the campus of
the University of Notre Dame.
What stood out most for Father
Rehagen was when the bishop
laid hands on him and called
upon the Holy Spirit to make
him a priest.
Fr. Rehagen offered a Mass of Thanksgiving on Saturday,
May 23, in St. Peter Church where he was baptized,
received his First Holy Communion, confirmed, and
worshiped for the first 18 years of his life. St. Peter
Church was the extension of his home where his parents
and brothers prayed together and practiced their faith.
Fr. Rehagen
believes
his years
at St. Peter
and Helias
Catholic
High School
helped
prepare him
to answer
the call to
Priesthood
and religious
life. He
believes the importance of Catholic education and your
home parish set the groundwork for hearing God’s voice.

CLASS REUNIONS
Class of 1955 – celebrated its 60th reunion during
the weekend of September 19-20, 2015. Thirty of the
ninety St. Peters High School graduates, plus several
classmates who did not graduate enjoyed a dinner
at Bone’s Banquet Room. Prayer was offered for the
thirty deceased classmates. On Sunday morning, they
attended Mass at St. Peters Church and continued their
celebration with breakfast at Oscar’s Classic Diner.
Everyone enjoyed seeing and visiting with old friends and
classmates.
Class of 1975 – celebrated its 40th reunion on
October 10, 2015. Saturday afternoon and evening
began with Mass celebrated by Fr. Medina in the Helias
Chapel and tour of the school, then social hour, dinner
and catching up with fellow classmates in the Helias
Commons.
Class of 1975 – Initiates
First Annual 40-Year
Class Challenge!
THANK YOU!
Proud to support
Helias Catholic High School

HELIA S FOUNDATION
In celebration of their 40 year class reunion and
to thank Helias for all it has given to their students,
the Class of 1975 established the FIRST Helias 40year Challenge for the Helias Foundation Annual
Fund Drive to celebrate their blessings over the last
40 years that will continue at Helias each and every
year.
The class of ’75 was challenged by the two
Goedde families in their class who offered to match
each and every dollar that the class raised for the
Annual Fund Drive up to $2,000 from each couple.
Every donation from each classmate was matched
by Grace (Goedde) Abbott and her husband Jerry, as
well as Mark Goedde and his wife Ann to make every
donation from all classmates worth three times what
they gave.
In mid-August, the class of ’75 had raised over
$8,000 for the annual fund drive, so the class issued
a new challenge to reach $10,000 as a class which
they reached and surpassed!!
Thank you to the Class of ’75 for their many gifts
to the Helias Foundation Annual Fund Drive and for
establishing the new 40-year class challenge! We
are truly blessed by your class spirit, generosity and
all that you do for Helias!
Fish and Fellowship offer Support!
Helias Foundation would like to thank the members
of our local Knights of Columbus Councils for hosting
two fish fry events this year to benefit the foundation
and our mission to ensure that we continue to build a
financial base in order to assist Helias Catholic High
School financially in providing an exemplary learning
environment for future generations.
Knights of Columbus Father Helias Council 1054
hosted one of their annual Lenten Fish Fries on Friday, March 6, 2015 to benefit Helias Foundation. Helias Council 1054 gifted the foundation with a check
for $2,000 from the proceeds of this event.
The 1st Annual Helias Foundation Fish Fry co-sponsored by Knights of Columbus Father Helias Council
1054, Bishop Michael F. McAuliffe Council 12992 and
Monsignor Pleus Council 14906 was held on Friday
evening, May 29, 2015 at the Cathedral of St. Joseph
Undercroft to benefit the Helias Foundation. Approximately 300 patrons were served who also enjoyed
delicious home-made desserts donated by many talented bakers in our community. The three councils
presented the foundation with a check for $2,000
from this event.
We are very appreciative of the Knights of Columbus
Councils working together, giving of their time, talent
and resources, as well as everyone who supported
the fish fries to benefit the Helias Foundation.

NEW FACES AT HELIAS
Elizabeth Clingman
is originally from Jefferson City,
MO. She attended St. Peter’s
Catholic School until the end
of her third grade year when
her family moved to Hermann,
Mo. Elizabeth will be starting
her sixth year in education here
at Helias. She graduated from
the University of Central Missouri with a Bachelors
of Science in Education Degree in the area of Mild to
Moderate Cross Categorical Special Education K-12.
She started her teaching career at Eldon High School
where she was the Science Class within a Class (CWC)
teacher for two years and taught as the Special Education Life Skills teacher for three years. Her passion for
teaching students started when she was in high school
and always enjoyed the teachers in her life who understood she learned differently, who pushed her to keep
trying, and gave her the confidence to ask questions
and believe in herself. Elizabeth has worked with a variety of students from those who have attendance issues, organizational struggles, or just needed to move
around to students who had specific learning difficulties. She is excited and honored to be working at Helias
and proud to be a Crusader!
Kenya Fuemmeler
graduated from the University of
Notre Dame with a Bachelors of
Arts and Letters in Political Science and History, and found her
passion for education as a Teach
For America corps member. She
also earned her Masters in Educational Leadership and Public Policy from the University of Missouri. Kenya loves working with students,
teachers and families to impact students for the greater good. She is very excited to be a part of continuing a
tradition of excellence as a Helias Crusader. Ryan Johnson
graduated from the University of Missouri with a Bachelors of Science in Biology Education and
Bachelors of Arts in Biology in

teaching at Rock Bridge High

from William Jewell College with a
Bachelor of Arts in English with honors study at Oxford University. She
received her Master of Library and Information Science degree from University of Central Missouri. Michelle and
her family moved to Jefferson City over
the summer from the Springfield, MO

Attorney’s Office and her daughter, Megan, is a junior at Helias. Her son, Matt, is a junior at William Jewell College. Michelle is excited to be working with the staff and students at
Helias to transform the library into a 21st Century learning
commons and to continue the tradition of excellence with the
Academic Team.
Maureen Quinn graduated
from the Benedictine College with a
degree in Theology. She taught and
assisted with Campus Ministry at a
Catholic boarding school in Atchison,
KS before deciding to move back home
to Jefferson City. As a 2002 alumni of
Helias Catholic High School she is
thrilled to be back in these halls and
prays that each person who enters has the opportunity to
seek and know Christ. Maureen is married with two children. Mark Rehagen states that his
favorite class in high school was Latin,
and he fittingly relishes the opportunity
to help restore Latin into the curriculum
at Helias Catholic High School. Mark
is the father of four graduate sons of
Helias (Christopher and Thomas, ’05;
Stephen, ’10; and Matthew, ’14) and
the husband of Susan (’79). Mark has
taught Latin at the Junior High level for 15 years, and he is
elated to bring to life the language that many people believe
is dead, because, with all due credit to Ovid, “Rident stolidi
verba latina.”
Tim Rulo graduated from the
University of Missouri with a Bachelors
degree in Education followed in the
past decade with a Masters degree
in Health Education and Promotion
and another Master of Education in
Positive Coaching that he is currently
in the process of completing. After
many years in a local school district in similar positions,
Tim was hired as the head football coach, head track and
field coach, strength and conditioning coordinator, and
teaches a leadership class as well that is offered dualcredit through Drury University. Tim’s personal coaching
philosophy is, “To love and motivate young athletes to
impact their lives toward Christ and to model and teach
them to do right, do their best, and consider others in all
situations.” He looks forward to implementing this daily
with the students who he teaches and coaches.

14 HELIA S FOUNDATION
Make a Planned Gift
LEAVE A LEGACY
The largest gift an individual can give during his or her
lifetime is through a planned gift.
In 1974, a group of committed leaders
formed the Helias Foundation to
help secure a stable financial future
for Helias Catholic High School. It
was formed as a separate, non-profit
corporation with a separate board
whose mission continues to be the
betterment of Helias.
The foundation’s funds are
professionally invested and managed,
and remain endowed for the benefit of
the high school. As endowed funds,
only the earnings are used to help
meet the financial needs of Helias
Catholic.
Gifts to the foundation are a show
of support for the mission of Helias
Catholic High School, and are a vote
of confidence for an enduring future.
The annual fund drive is one of several
Helias Foundation sponsored events
each year on behalf of Helias Catholic
and its ongoing mission of raising
funds by increasing the endowment to
benefit the high school long-term.
It is incumbent upon the Foundation
to ensure that they build a financial
base in order to continue to provide
an exemplary learning environment for
future generations. The Foundation is
able to do this by supporting long-term
financial stability for a quality Helias
Catholic education based in faith,
knowledge and service to others.
Built on a strong, historical base
and a committed community, the
foundation’s future remains bright as it
provides unwavering financial support
to Helias. As an endowed fund, the
foundation will provide for Helias
Catholic High School both now and in
the future.
Planned Giving is a vehicle by which foundation donors can
provide for endowed gifts either during one’s life or at one’s
passing for the benefit of our high school. The structure of these
gifts can be as varied as the wishes and intents of the donor.
Under a planned giving program, gifts can be made outright or
made in part such as the retention of income for life from the
donated asset until the passing of the donor.
Other than outright cash donations, how can I contribute?
There are several ways to contribute to the Helias Foundation. You
can:
• donate securities, real estate and life insurance.
• make a bequest to the Foundation in your will.
• set up a charitable trust.
• establish a memorial gift when a loved one dies.
Will a planned gift to the Foundation replace annual
gifts to the Foundation Fund Drive?
No. The Foundation serves as a way to donate accumulated wealth
to meet long-term high school needs. Your regular gifts to the annual campaign are still important to meet current
needs of Helias Catholic High School.
Can I designate how income from my
contribution will be used?
We encourage unrestricted gifts to provide
flexibility to meet future high school needs.
However, you may designate how the
income from your gift will be used, in
consultation with the Foundation Board
of Directors.
If I want to make a contribution
to the Foundation, what’s the
next step?
Contact Mike Bruns at the Helias Foundation.

ROOTED IN FAITH, BUILDING ON EXCELLENCE
FR. STEPHEN JONES
President of Helias Catholic High School
It is amazing how quickly a year passes when you are having
fun! These past twelve months have been filled with lots of
excitement at Helias Catholic High School! There are new faces
in our hallways, in our administrative offices and classrooms,
and on our fields and courts. In addition, ground has been
broken and work is well underway on our new Science Center/
Chapel/Administration wing. This project is 98% funded and is
slated to open in the fall of 2016. It is going to be an amazing
facility which will reinforce our identity as a Catholic institution
of learning while giving our science teachers the facilities and
tools to do what they do best – teach!
The “Rooted in Faith, building
on Excellence” campaign is in full
swing. We are currently still working
on all phases of the campaign:
contacting our lead donors, our
major donors, and the wonderful
members of our Helias community.
The campaign total as it stands now
is just under $4.2 million pledged.
This number includes an amazing
$3 million gift for the construction of
the stadium, field, and track portion
of the athletic complex. This portion
of the athletic facility will have a
day-to-day impact on over 60% of
our students and will not be a venue
for athletics alone; but will provide
space for our growing marching
band, our cheerleaders, and our
16 HELIA S FOUNDATION
dance team. Moreover, it will be an
extension of our classroom space
for physical education and outdoor
education classes. We are very
excited to be able to meet the needs
of our students – as well as those
of our partner Catholic elementary
schools and the general community
– with this project. If we receive
another $2+ million designated to
the athletic complex we will be able
to finish those projects and ensure
the establishment of a strong fund
for their ongoing maintenance and
repair.
An additional source of excitement
is the recent opportunity we have
received for a “matching gift” toward
the capital campaign. A generous
patron has come forward and
offered to match the gifts of
donors from the public phase of
the campaign up to $3 million.
This means that if our community
can raise $3 million, it will instantly
turn into a total of $6 million,
putting us in a great position to
move closer to reaching our goals.
Remember, gifts to the capital
campaign can be designated to
the endowment fund, the fine arts
facility, or the athletics complex.
So, if you haven’t committed to the
campaign yet, please do so and
help us make the most out of that
matching gift opportunity.
Since opening in 1956, Helias
Catholic High School has always
worked to provide a high school
experience that has combined
a quality education with a safe,
faith based, environment. The
school has sought to accomplish
this mission by remaining as
affordable as possible so that
every student might have access
to a Helias education. Ours is
a school that was built by the
local community and is a school
committed to educating and
forming the young people of this
local community.

IT'S AN AMAZING TIME
TO BE A CRUSADER.
The average tuition in our country
for a diocesan Catholic High School
is over $9,000. The tuition rate at
Helias Catholic for the 2015/16 school
year is $4,855 (active Catholic) and
$6,000 (non-Catholic). The “active
Catholic” rate reflects approximately
67% of the cost to educate a student
at Helias. Despite the rising costs
of providing an education, we are
extremely proud that we have been
able to keep our tuition rate as low
as possible. However, while our
current tuition rate is only 54% of the
national average, we still recognize
that our tuition cost is such that it
prohibits many students from being
able to attend Helias. We are firmly
committed to living out the mission
and goal of our school, which is to
educate and form as many young
people as possible. We certainly do
not want the high cost of education
to prohibit any potential student from
receiving the benefit of an education
at Helias Catholic. This is why the
endowment portion of the capital
campaign is so important! Every
dollar we raise to strengthen the
endowment has a direct impact on
our students, both in the present and
in the future.
As we undertake the ongoing work of
our capital campaign, the leadership
of Helias is renewing its commitment
to do our best to keep Catholic
education affordable. It is our goal
to instill in our community the sense
of urgency needed to assist our
school in living out this commitment.
Money doesn’t grow on trees (believe
me, I’ve looked!) and we receive
no public funding. So we must fall
back on that old saying “It takes a
village to raise a child” and add the
tag line “and it takes a community
to support a school.” That is why
we will be redoubling our efforts to
ask people to support the Helias
Foundation, whether that be through
the endowment portion of the current
capital campaign or through the
foundation’s Annual Fund Drive.
18 HELIA S FOUNDATION
Our community has been extremely
generous in the 59 years of Helias’
history and we will be counting on
that generosity and support for the
next 59 years!
It is certainly an amazing time to
be a Helias Crusader! I am truly
convinced that we are moving Helias
Catholic High School in a direction
which will strengthen it academically,
spiritually, fiscally, and athletically for
generations to come. Are we perfect?
Of course not! Do we have room
to grow and improve? Yes, we do!
However, I know that we are making
great strides and working hard to
better serve our students every day.
I am humbled to be the president
of this institution and am doubly
thankful for the gifts of Almighty
God working in and through this
community!
Live Jesus in our hearts, forever!

The Annual Helias
Foundation Homecoming
5K was held on Saturday,
September 26th when
numerous runners/
walkers filled the streets
around Helias Catholic
High School. This year’s
theme was “Let us run with endurance the race God has set before us.” –
Hebrews 12:1
The homecoming 5K is one of several Helias Foundation sponsored events
each year on behalf of Helias Catholic and its ongoing mission of raising
funds by increasing the endowment to benefit the high school long-term.
The net proceeds from this year’s homecoming 5K event were contributed
towards the Foundation’s endowed funds.
With age groups from 10 and under to 60 and over
in both female and male categories, Alexa Lamb
took first place overall in the female division with a
time of 22:27 and Jay Langton took first place overall
in the male division with a time of 24:08.
Please consider participating in this event next year
during the Homecoming activities on Saturday,
October 8, 2016.

MATCHED GIFTS
Business and their Matching Gift Programs will match a
certain percentage of original gift to Helias Foundation
and often times will match the full 100%. We encourage all
supporters of Helias to look into their Matching Gift Programs with their employers. We also encourage retirees
to look into their former employers as well. Matching Gift
Programs will typically match a certain percentage of their
retired employee’s gift. It is a simple and easy opportunity
to increase giving.

FRIENDS OF HELIAS
At Helias Foundation and Helias Catholic High School,
our “Friends” are those individuals who are not easily labeled. They are not St. Peter or Helias alumni, but may be
neighbors, or have met a student or faculty member during the year and have gained contact with our school and
foundation. In the case of those listed below, in addition to
being known as Friends, they are also contributors. Helias
could not hope to have a finer set of friends.
