Athletic Hall of Fame
After a year's delay, we are happy to finally induct our seventh class into the Bishop Watterson Athletic Hall of Fame.
The Bishop Watterson Athletic Hall of Fame consists of individuals who distinguished themselves either on the field of play or through their dedication to the athletic program. These seven inductees will join the 54 individuals inducted into Bishop Watterson's Athletic Hall of Fame over the last eight years.
Inductees will be introduced at half-time of our football game on Friday, August 27 at Ohio Dominican and will be inducted at a ceremony on Sunday, August 29 at Bishop Watterson.

In Service to Others
Our Alumni Department provides service to St. Lawrence Haven, the sack lunch program run by St. Vincent DePaul, twice per month. Volunteers provide much needed sandwiches, fruit, drinks, chips, and treats for the patrons of St. Lawrence Haven.

Our bi-monthly deliveries have been overwhelming, thanks to the amazing support and generosity of our group. The need continues to be great and we would love your help.

If you would like to participate in this service endeavor, please email Terri Kernan at tkernan@cdeducation.org.
Alumni in the News
Jonathan Smith '09
Jonathan Smith was ordained to the priesthood on Saturday, June 5 for the Diocese of Arlington at the Cathedral of St. Thomas More in Arlington, Virginia. Father Smith will begin his service to the Catholic Church at St. Andrew the Apostle Church in Clifton, Virginia.

Father Smith had many family members gather to witness his ordination. One very special family member, Father Smith's 101 year old grandmother, Teresa Murphy watched her grandson become a priest via livestream.
