Father Joseph Callahan ’75 is grateful for the academic and faith formation received at St. Mary School Elyria and ECHS. He describes the lay faculty, Sisters of Notre Dame, and Fathers of St. Joseph as “sterling people” whose personal interest in their students and professional standards provided him with a foundation for vocational discernment and further studies. He mentions Señorita Bradesca, Mrs. Hedy Fye, Father Gaetano (whom he remembers saying to him his senior year: “don’t rule out going to the seminary”), and Sister Laboure (“who instilled in us a love of reading and a passion for writing properly”) as examples.

Erik graduated from the University of Dayton where he earned a B.A. in Economics and a minor in English literature.
