Welcome Message Dear GC Family, We are excited to publish another issue of IMPACT magazine to highlight our fifteenth year of ministry at Guerin Catholic. In this particular edition, we feature some of the achievements of our alumni. It is validating to our work to see our alumni return to visit the school, attend a game, pray with us at Mass, or visit a teacher. This year has given me several opportunities to experience our alumni. Mr. Scott McNamee, Director of Campus Ministry, and I visited the University of Dayton this fall to check in on some of our college alums and provide time for catching up over a free dinner, something college students always seem to appreciate. The list of other upcoming GC Alumni College Visits can be found on page 13. Our school is now old enough that our alumni are getting married and having children. It is a beautiful sight to see our graduates recognize their vocations as husbands, wives, mothers and fathers and bring the joy of their faith to their families. Some of these stories can be found on page 14. Along those same lines, it is always fun to hear about the different careers that our graduates have pursued. Some have even chosen to return to their alma mater to join our ministry. Along with Joey Garcia ’07, who is in his eighth year of teaching (sixth with Guerin Catholic), we have also welcomed Ellen (Rochford) Slaney ’12 to our faculty, and Hanna Gelov ’13 to our coaching staff and alumni office. Finally, I think I was most moved by our alumni this fall as our community mourned the death of Evan Hansen ’15. I witnessed many graduates of several different classes return home to support their classmates, some of whom they had not seen in years. Although a tragic situation, it was affirming to see the outpouring of love and support within the Guerin Catholic family. Whether you graduated from Guerin Catholic, sent your kids to this school, or worked here as part of the mission, I pray that each person feels a sense of connection to this community such that we share together in the joys and sorrows of this life, all while calling each other to something higher—the hope of our life together with our Lord in heaven. God Bless, James McNeany Principal 2018-19 FACULTY AND STAFF Guerin Catholic faculty and staff kicked off the 2018-19 school year with a spiritual retreat led by Our Lady of Mt. Carmel pastor Fr. Richard Doerr at St. Mary-of-the-Woods College, founded by Saint Theodore Guerin.
