Easter Prayer
May the glory and the promise
Of this joyous time of year
Bring peace and happiness to you
And those you hold most dear.
And may Christ, our risen Savior
Always be there by your side
To bless you most abundantly
And be your loving guide.

National Catholic Youth Conference
Indianapolis, IN Nov. 21-24, 2019
Registration for a guaranteed spot is due by May 31 for high school students who want to attend the upcoming National Catholic Youth Conference next fall in Indianapolis. NCYC offers a very powerful experience of the Catholic faith. Participants experience dynamic prayer, powerful experiences of adoration, reconciliation, Mass, inspirational speakers, concerts, and an interactive thematic park.
NCYC challenges youth to deepen their faith in a dynamic environment with thousands of high school students from around the country. More than 24,000 youth, young adults and their chaperones are expected to attend this year’s conference.
We will travel with the group from the Diocese of Columbus and will leave on Thursday morning, Nov. 21, and return at noon on Sunday, Nov. 24. Bishop Brennan encourages our youth to participate. Depending on the room occupancy selected, the cost is $515-$685 per person for the conference, the hotel, the transportation, an NCYC sweatshirt and several meals. Participants can organize and participate in fundraising for the trip. Parents who are interested in serving as chaperones and have completed Safe Environment requirements may register online and can also contact Mrs. Beth Simmonds at mrs.simmonds@bwhs.org for more information.
To view a promotional video, to see specific costs based on occupancy at the hotel (2, 3, 4, 5, 6 to a room) or to register please go to the diocesan website at

Attire Reminders
"As a Catholic school we believe that modesty and appropriateness in dress are important values. This is particularly true in today's culture when popular celebrities do not always serve as good role models in helping adolescents form patterns of behavior and dress."
(Bishop Watterson Student Handbook p. 42)
HOMECOMING and Prom Attire for Bishop Watterson Students and Guests
Ladies
Dresses are to be modest and befitting a Catholic school.
Strapless gowns may be worn if modest.
Dresses not permitted to be worn are:
a. Tight-fitting, cut-outs in the front or side of the dress or backless, show midriffs
b. Gowns that have see-through panels or unlined transparent fabric
c. Dresses SHORTER THAN 4 inches above the knee
No exposed tattoos
No costumes
Gentlemen
- Long dress pants and dress shirts required (Jackets for Prom)
- No earrings and/or exposed tattoos permitted
- No costumes
- No tennis shoes
Students not adhering to these guidelines will not be admitted to the dance and no refunds will be given.
