Blood Drive in Honor of Jack Shockley: Nov. 29 |
As you may know, Jack Shockley, BCHS Class of 2014, was killed on August 12 of this year. Though Jack is one of our own, an alumnus and a friend, he is just one example of the violence that is happening in Indianapolis this year. As of October 19, there had been 165 criminal homicides in Indianapolis in 2020. That is a 43 percent increase over 2019. In addition, there have been 480 non-fatal shootings this year, which is a 40 percent increase over last year.
There is a severe shortage in our blood supply, and part of that shortage can be attributed to the record-setting violence occurring in Indianapolis. Any amount of violence is too much. Help us mitigate the unwarranted loss of life by insuring that we have the blood supply to help the victims of this senseless violence. Donate a pint of your blood so that others can live. Let’s honor Jack by making a difference for the other victims of violence in Indianapolis.
Blood Drive Details
- Sunday, November 29
- 8:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m.
- Christ the King Parish
- Tuohy Hall

2020 ... What's the good word? |
When the world rang in 2020, nobody was expecting the year that we’ve experienced. While many events have been cancelled and we have experienced loss, collectively celebrating the good moments has buoyed our spirits.
In the Winter issue of Bishop Chatard’s Trojans Today magazine, we will highlight the things that have brought us joy. This can be as life-changing as a wedding or new baby, or it can be as simple as having the time to reconnect with an old friend, learning a new skill, being home to see your child take his first steps or completing a project that has lingered on your to-do list.
We are asking you, in 25 words or less, to tell us what brought you joy in 2020. If you have a photo that you can include, please do it! We’ll share the good times as we all get through this pandemic together.
