Letter from Henry Chandler, Alumni Coordinator |
|
Spring is on its way to northern Indiana, bringing with it warmer temperatures, more sunshine, and diminishing chances of snow. We are now three quarters of the way into the school year, spring break is approaching, prom plans are being made, and Baccalaureate Mass and Graduation are on the horizon.
In addition, the holy season of Lent continues leading to the most sacred time of the Church year, the Easter Triduum. A Lenten penance service and Living Stations of the Cross will be part of the school-wide observance of the season in preparation for Holy Week. As Lent continues, please keep the Saint Joseph High School community in your prayers. Alumni intentions are part of each Prayer Corner at the school as compiled by the Office of Pastoral Ministry.
Wishing you a Lenten season that brings you closer to God through prayer, fasting and almsgiving and a glorious celebration of the Risen Lord on Easter Sunday.
Sincerely,
Henry Chandler
Alumni Coordinator

40-Year Old Photo Prompts Reflection for Swiss Valley Ski Patroller |
Teresa (Marzolf) Prego '80 (left) looked back fondly on the photo to the right, taken 40 years ago at the Swiss Valley Ski & Snowboard Area after being dared by the ski instructors to wear shorts on one of the final runs of the season.
She reflected on the photo and the impact that both skiing and recently-passed Swiss Valley owner Jim Wiseman had on her life and the skiing community in the South Bend area.
Teresa joined the Swiss Valley ski patrol as a senior at Saint Joe and continued throughout her time as a student at Notre Dame.
