Upcoming Community Events

--- A Cardinal Christmas is coming Dec. 5 ---
The St. Charles Mothers Club will host “A Cardinal Christmas” on Saturday, Dec. 5 in the school’s Robert C. Walter Student Commons. Alumnus Fr. William Arnold ’70, pastor of Holy Spirit Church, will offer Mass at 5:00 p.m. in Mother of Mercy Chapel.

…It’s never too early to get these on your calendar……

The annual Christmas Concert, featuring our St. Charles Chorus and Concert and Jazz Bands will be presented on Monday, December 14 at 7:30 p.m. in the Campus Theater.

-- Eighth-Grade Scholarship Test - Saturday, January 30
St. Charles will offer its annual scholarship test to prospective students in the Robert C. Walter Student Commons at two different times: 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. The test is only given on this date. It is open to all eighth-grade boys who are currently enrolled at any of the public, parochial, and private elementary or middle schools in Franklin or the other surrounding counties that comprise Central Ohio.

The test is NOT an entrance exam. The results are used to help determine those who will receive academically-based scholarships and grants offered by the school to its students in the 2010-2011 school year. For the 2009-2010 school year alone, St. Charles is providing more than $1 million in academic and financial aid to its students thanks to the incredible ongoing generosity of the St. Charles alumni, current and past parents, and friends!

--- 2009 - 2010 Annual Fund ---

This year’s Annual Fund is once again focused on Maintaining the Traditions of St. Charles and seeks to raise $1 million from alumni, parents of current students, and parents of SC alumni. St. Charles is proud to be blessed once again with the leadership of 1982 graduate Paul Heller (Alumni Chairperson) and 1978 alumnus John Mackessy and his wife, Linda (Parents Phase).

A mailing went out to those in the St. Charles community back in September and we thank those who have made gifts since then! Keep your eyes open for a second mailing which should reach mailboxes late next week. We hope you consider making a gift at whatever level you are comfortable. Besides financially supporting needy young men from every socio-economic background, our Annual Fund also supports the day-to-day operations of the school, the maintaining of the beautiful buildings and grounds of the St Charles campus, and the recruitment and retention for our deeply-committed faculty.

The school also now recognizes annual gifts of $1,250 and above by extending an invitation to The Cardinal Society. Members will receive an invitation to attend a year-end celebration. Please contact Development Director Mike Duffy in the Development Office by phone at 614-252-9288 ext. 20 or by e-mail at miduffy@stcharlesprep.org for more information.

---- 2009- 2010 Annual Fund News ----

This year’s Annual Fund will once again focus on Maintaining the Traditions of St. Charles and seeks to raise $1 million from alumni, parents of current students, and parents of SC alumni.
St. Charles is proud to be blessed once again with the leadership of 1982 graduate Paul Heller (Alumni Chairperson) and 1978 alumnus John Mackessy and his wife, Linda (Parents Phase).

Besides financially supporting needy young men from every socio-economic background, our Annual Fund also supports the day-to-day operations of the school, the maintaining of the beautiful buildings and grounds of the St Charles campus, and the recruitment and retention for our deeply-committed faculty.

Parents and alumni will be receiving appeal letters in the coming two weeks and invited to visit the school’s website (www.stcharlesprep.org) this weekend to view the online Annual Fund Appeal video starting on Saturday, September 5. This special video was created by SC alumnus Greg Krivicich ’75 of Marcy Design, with the help of his son, Joe, a St. Charles junior. We would also like to acknowledge 1991 alumnus Ryan Sullivan who designed and created the original AF video in 2006.

The school now recognizes annual gifts of $1,250 and above by extending an invitation to The Cardinal Society. Members will receive an invitation to attend a year-end celebration. Please contact Development Director Mike Duffy in the Development Office by phone at 614-252-9288 ext. 20 or
by e-mail at miduffy@stcharlesprep.org for more information.
