Blood Drive in Honor of Jack Shockley: Dec. 4-5
Jack Shockley, BCHS Class of 2014, was the victim of a violent murder on August 12, 2020. Though Jack is one of our own, a parish member, a classmate, a co-worker and a friend, he is just one example of the violence that is happening in Indianapolis this year.

There is a severe shortage in our blood supply, part of which can be attributed to violence in our city. Help us mitigate the unwarranted loss of life by ensuring 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 through the Jack Shockley Warriors for Peace Memorial Blood Drive. Please click the dates below to sign up.


Masks required for ALL donors. Please bring photo ID, eat and hydrate. For donation and eligibility questions, call 317-916-5150.

Girls Basketball Alumni Night: November 24
Bishop Chatard is inviting all alumni girls basketball players who played during their senior year at BCHS to come back to BCHS for a special recognition night on Nov. 24 (the night of the BCHS vs Cathedral game).

We’ve been playing girls basketball at Bishop Chatard for 47 years and are inviting you back to BCHS for an evening of reminiscing, socializing and recognition. The alumni (and their families) will meet in the cafeteria during the JV game (anytime after 5:30 p.m.) for socializing. Then, the alumni will be introduced between the JV and Varsity games to the assembled crowd. The alumni and their families will then be invited to cheer on the Trojans as they battle the Irish in the Varsity contest that evening.

Fill in the form below to RSVP. If you can’t attend, we’d still like to hear from you! Fill in the form to let us know what you are up to! Girls Basketball Head Coach Dan Wagner will email details to those who responded as the date nears. Questions? Contact Coach Wagner at dwagner@bishopchatard.org. We hope to see you there. Go Trojans!
