Zach Wonderly, ‘95

We are blessed to be a part of a Catholic school system that has a deep history within Fremont and the neighboring communities of Sandusky County. As time

goes on, however, things change and a “new beginning” is required. We also know the phrase “the only thing constant is change.” This statement is true when we recognize and address the changes that have occurred over the past 30 years within Catholic schools across the country. We can linger in the past and have the world pass us by, or we can plan and move forward as other successful and creative organizations do. We need you to help us with this work to “tell our story.” There was a time when the majority of our teachers were nuns and priests. The percentage of lay teachers in relation to religious teachers has completely shifted in the opposite direction. There was a time when a Parish may have had two or three

priests. We now have two Pastors in Fremont, one at Sacred Heart and one for both St. Ann and St. Jo-seph and one Associate Pastor who also serves as the BHCS Chaplain for all three campuses. There was a time when a high percentage of Catholics not only attended Mass every weekend but they also sent the majority of their children to the Catholic schools. The percentage of attendance for Catholic Mass and school is somewhere under 30 percent. There was a time when parents had large families … I was one of seven children, but my wife and I have a family of three beautiful daughters. There was a time when we had stand-alone schools that, even though they succeeded for a long time, became a contradic-tion of our beliefs as we competed with each other for students, fundraising, sports, etc. It took over 30 years to move from competition amongst ourselves to collaboration for a PreK -12th grade system. We are in our 3rd year of consolidation, and we are building a system that requires faith, hope, dedication, collaboration, innovation, and flexibility as part of our “new beginning”. We need you to help us tell our story. We provide a quality education where children are safe and the focal point of all we do. Our culture and climate is solid and real and based on Christ’s teachings; it is not a program or product pur-chased to fix schools without faith. We provide opportunities for 8th grade students to earn high school credits, high school students to earn college credits, and students to earn flex credit through on-line courses. We use technology to engage students and enhance learning. We believe in and cheer for our student-athletes who are not only successful as athletes but also outstanding students. We support stu-dents with learning needs and academic strengths. We provide service to our community and our stu-dents are recognized for their kindness, manners, and work ethic. Yes, we carry on the “old” traditions of our Catholic school heritage and blend new ways of teaching and learning to prepare our students for a world that will challenge them in many ways including their faith and relationship with God. We thank you for all of your prayers, volunteerism, donations, and other support. We hope you will contact us when you need or want information about what we are doing and where we are heading. We ask that you “tell our story” so we can reach those families that do not know who we are and the ex-cellent experiences we offer students. We ask you to join us during this time of change, our new begin-ning. Your passion for our schools will make a difference and allow us to continue to grow and nurture and serve God’s children as that has always been the purpose of our Catholic schools … this is something we all agree should never change.

A Fresh New Look!Many changes have taken place throughout the building throughout the year! In early spring new scoreboards were installed in the gym thanks to the generosity of Rick Frank and the support of the SJCC Booster Club, SJCC Alumni and Friends, and the Sacred Heart Mens Associa-tion. The majority of the building was also brightened up with a fresh coat of paint. The cover of The Voice high-lights Zach Wonderly ‘95 painting one of the many hall-ways at SJCC.

Thank You for Your Support!

SJCC Soup StopServing Our Community The SJCC Soup Stop provides dinner in the SJCC cafeteria twice a month to the less fortunate of our com-munity. The project was the idea of sev-eral seniors from the class of 2009. The seniors began the service as a tempo-rary relief for people needing food dur-ing the winter months. The students advertised the service throughout churches and or-ganizations in Fremont. The students also began fundraising to pay for the food served. After serving many hun-gry people, the students realized the service should continue. As this important mission continues at SJCC, the Soup Stop has been blessed with donations of food and money. Soup Stop is an opportunity to directly help the needy in our community especially when many are suffering during these difficult economic times.

We are most appreciative for your support for last year’s Annual Fund Campaign. As we kickoff our 19th appeal, we must acknowledge the tremendous generosity bestowed on us by our many supporters. We raised $126,825 (a 45% increase over the prior year’s fund)! We also had an increase in donors by 53%! We have been blessed by your support. We are proud to have Jim Yeager ‘70 as Chairman of this year’s Annual Fund. Jim has served on the committee since its inception in 1994 and was the Chairman for the 94-95, 95-96, 06-07, 08-09, and now the 12-13 Campaign. Catholic schools have always faced the challenge of “taking care of their own” and finding ways to fund the staff and activities that allow Christ to be the focal point of all that is taught. Even during times when the economy has been poor and everyone is struggling, supporters of Catholic education have stepped up and given. In addition, most Catholic School donors also contribute to public schools through real estate and income tax in addition to the many charitable acts they sponsor or contribute to throughout the year. This is recognized, real, and respected. It is always difficult to ask for continued support and a risk to ask for increased support, but the children we serve each day are counting on us to ask and to pray and to give thanks for any and all donations that support our school system. We need your support through this drive as it is a primary source of revenue. These monies allow us to provide for and serve our entire consolidated school system. All students benefit. As we enter our third year of consolidation we have a balanced budget, we are working toward retaining and increasing enrollment, and we remain vigilant in our goal to provide the best educational program that focuses on Christ and His teachings. We are excited about our “new beginning” and where it will take us in the future. So please read the information that you will be provided about the Annual Fund, and we hope you consider giving. We hope that many will choose to give more than their last donation. We hope you know that you are in our thoughts and prayers daily, during our weekly school Mass, and during week-end Masses. May God bless you this day and each day we are given. Our students are being prepared for their future, and your investment in them is truly priceless.

Sincerely,

Annual Fund Donor Recognition

5 Fall 2012

Mark Molyet, Class of 1990, felt the call to be active in the military at an early age. He enlisted in the Army in April of his Senior year.

He is currently a Sergeant First Class in the 1st Regiment of the 148th Infantry Battalion. His first deployment was aborted in 1991 due to the swift end to the Gulf War. Since then, he has been deployed three

times. Molyet’s first deployment was in 2005. He was stationed in Baghdad. His primary role on this mission was searching for IEDs (Improvised Explosive Devices). While in Baghdad, they lived in two man trailers. His next deployment was to Kuwait in 2008. Each mission was different and this one was no exception. He served on a convoy security team traveling from Kuwait to any point in Iraq. This time he lived in a giant building with 58 men stationed together with their rooms divided by wall lockers. On Molyet’s last mission, he proudly served in Afghanistan, returning

in August of this year. He was assigned duty as a member of the Security Force Advisor Team mentoring the Afghan Police. Molyet recalls, “this was very dangerous as you did not know whom to trust and were constantly on alert.” He resided in a 10 man tent. He has many memories of his tours, but the most memorable was meeting the Chairman of the-Joint Chief of Staff, General Richard Myers. He also treasures the bonds he shares with his fellow ser-vicemen. The most difficult aspect of his tours was being away from his family and normal life. Molyet comments, “When you are home and have a bad day at work, you simply go home. While on tour, you are surrounded by everyone 24 hours a day. You can never get away.” Mark is happy to be home with his wife, Becky (Wethington ’93) and four children: Andy (Fresh-man), Elizabeth (8th), Madeline (6th), and Sarah (4th), all students at BHCS. He follows in the footsteps of both his father (Ron Molyet-National Guard), and his brother Chad (’88-active in the Marines). He has been employed by Crown Battery Mfg. since 1999 and is grateful they work around his military commit-ment.

Greetings to All in the Crimson Streak Nation,

I pray that you all enjoyed a blessed summer and that your families are flourishing in the life of the Holy Spirit. It is with great joy that I begin ministry for Bishop Hoffman Catholic School as Chaplain. My name is Fr. Jacob Gordon, and I have been assigned to help in the following ministries: Chaplain for Bishop Hoffman Catholic School, part time Associate Pastor to St Ann and St Joseph parishes and the Island parishes of Kel-leys, Put-in-Bay and Middle Bass during the summer months. I was born August 31, 1974, in Paulding, Ohio, to Raymond and Brenda. With the help of God, they brought five children to this world--Tess, Matthew, me, Sarah and Rachel. I thank God for my family; I would not be a priest today if it were not for their witness and faith. My mom Brenda and sister Sarah have gone home to God. I miss them very much and wait in hope for the day when we will be reunited in the presence God. My dad is remarried to a great woman named Barbara. By the grace of God, I graduated from Wayne Trace High School in 1993 and then served four years in United States Marine Corps. I entered the seminary in 1997 at the Pontifical College Josephinum in Columbus and finished studies in 2006 at Mt. St. Mary’s, Cincinnati. I was ordained to the priesthood by Bishop Leonard Blair on June 3, 2006--a very happy day :). My previous assignments have been Associate Pastor to Toledo St Patrick (Heatherdowns), Delphos St John’s and Landeck St John the Baptist. Whenever we speak about the Gift of Family, these words of Fr. Michael Seger,

who taught me in the seminary, come to mind: “To participate in God’s gift of life and bring children into this world is the greatest act of hope that parents offer.” Pope John Paul the Great often said: “We find ourselves by giving of ourselves for God and others.” Yes, the Gift of Family is hope for the future as we seek to build up the community of life that God has begun. Our thanksgiving for the gift of life is most powerfully expressed in the worship of God on the Lord’s Day during the weekend Masses and Worship Services. This living prayer of faith is vital to receiving the Life of Christ in our families, our parishes, and our school. As we

begin the Year of Faith on October 11th, let us ask the Lord to strengthen our families and continue to seek ways to build up the faith of our children. May we continue to go to Jesus in faith and receive His grace, love and peace—gifts which the world can never give. And may our witness in Christ bring hope and joy to our families and all the people we serve. God bless you,Fr Jacob

Welcome.. .Father Jacob Gordon

SJCC Athletic Booster

11 Fall 2012

On Friday, October 5, Tom Beier’s ‘63 # 32 football jersey was retired by the SJCC Football Team and Coach Scott Knisely. Tom was an All-Star player at SJCC, playing three years for Coach Bob Smith. He played on the 60-62 football teams with years 60 & 62 being undefeated seasons. He still holds the SJCC record of

“Most Touchdowns in a Season” with twenty-two in the 1962 season. He was also named First Team All-SBC and the team MVP in the ‘62 season. Beier was inducted into the first SJCC Athletic Hall of Fame in 1986. He has since been joined by six of his brothers.

After high school, Beier played football at the University of Detroit for two years (the school dropped the football program). He was recruited by the University of Miami (Florida) where he played two seasons. To this day, Beier still holds the re-cord for most career tackles by a defensive back (177) at the University of Miami and is a member of their Athletic Hall of Fame. In 1966, the Associated Press named him a First Team All-American.

After his successful collegiate career, Beier was drafted by the Miami Dolphins in the 11th round. This was the first combined draft for the newly combined football league. He played for three seasons (1967-1969). In 1970, he was traded to the San Francisco 49er’s and played in the preseason for one year. He is retired and currently resides in Coral Gables with his wife Lynn. He enjoys spending his time with his three daughters and eight grandchildren.
