Stallions in the Spotlight
Matthew Gabriel was awarded the Red Sash of Merit by the Diocese of Columbus Catholic Committee on Scouting. The award recognizes a select number of outstanding Catholic Scouts in the Diocese of Columbus who are very active in their Troop, community, and church as well as demonstrate strong leadership and accept responsibility well.
28 Stallions participated in the CCL Day of Service yesterday. This day of service brought together 150 students representing all 5 CCL High Schools. SFD senior Alex Miller and junior Stephanie Circelli were instrumental in promoting and organizing not only at DeSales but for the entire event.
Thank you to all the members of our DeSales community who supported the 4th Annual Corral for the Kids Dodgeball Tournament! This event was started four years ago, and has raised over $10,000 for the Oncology/Hematology Department at Nationwide Children's Hospital in the years since. We were blessed to have three miracle patients at the event this year to share their stories. Pictured are the winners of this year's tournament: The 10 Commandments (Chase Agin, Kelvin Bempah, Zack Garrett, Brett Husslein, Rob Landis, Andrew Richards, Anthony Cua, Marco Susi, Cole Silvestri, and Louis Dytko).
