Dear Bishop Kelly Families, 

Bishop Kelly was a busy place this summer! A huge thank you to Chad Blue and the Bishop Kelly Maintenance and Grounds team for all that they did to make BK shine for the start of the new school year. 

Annual Summer Maintenance Projects

This summer Bishop Kelly underwent a deep clean, as well as some touch ups and refreshes to our buildings and grounds, including:

• Deep cleaning classrooms, restrooms, the cafeteria, the REG, and the Carley Center
• Stripping and waxing the floors throughout the main building and Carley Center
• Landscape maintenance in the school’s entryway and courtyards

Summer 2023 Maintenance and Repairs

BK also tackled additional repairs and updates that are beyond the regular summer maintenance at BK. These projects include:

• A new roof for the Bishop Kelly Chapel
• New parking lot stripes as well as a resurfacing of the front parking lot
• A new paint job on the BK sign on Franklin and the addition of the One Knight logo
• Additional cameras enhancing security for the BK community

Summer 2023 Activities Infrastructure Updates and Refreshes

• Replaced the wind damaged JV softball fence on Franklin Road
• Installed new basketball shot clocks in the Carley Center
• New varsity softball guest services building including restrooms, concessions, and press box. 
• Replaced the varsity baseball bullpen grass with turf
• Replaced the grass on Nick Ysursa Field with turf that will serve football, boys and girls soccer, boys and girls lacrosse, and BK’s physical education classes. Join us on Saturday, September 16th at the official Blessing of the new multi-purpose turf at Nick Ysursa Field

BK will be celebrating the first All School Mass of the year next week. Parents are welcome to join us on Thursday, September 14th. Mass begins at 10:30 AM in the Carley Athletic Center. It is wise to arrive about 20 minutes early to park and get a seat in the folding chairs on the gym floor before the students arrive. Please make sure that your student comes to school in Mass Dress on Thursday the 14th!

Have a blessed weekend,

Beginning on Wednesday, October 4th we will be offering weekly Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament every Wednesday that school is in session. It is our hope to provide students with a weekly opportunity to encounter Christ in the Blessed Sacrament and to cover our faculty, staff, and families of Bishop Kelly in prayer each week.

In order to do this, we need at least 21 parents and/or grandparents willing to commit to one hour of prayer EACH WEEK between the hours of 8:15 a.m.-3:05 p.m. every Wednesday.

We are hoping to have at least 3-4 committed adorers per hour to ensure that there is always someone present with our beloved Lord.

If you are interested in signing-up for a Holy Hour, PLEASE CLICK THE LINK HERE.

If you have any questions, please contact Lorissa Horn, Director of Campus Ministry at LHorn@bk.org. 



The Bishop Kelly Foundation is busy preparing for our 2023 Winner's Choice Dinner & Auction Knight Flights. Golden tickets are going fast, and online ticket sales have been steady as we prepare to send out the official invitations later this month.

We are currently seeking Sponsors for the 2023 event. Sponsorships have become vital to the success of our auction and help ensure we underwrite much of our fixed costs in order to help raise the maximum amount of funds for our beloved Bishop Kelly High School. They are also a wonderful way to highlight your company or place of business given the multitude of advertising benefits that come with each level of sponsorships.

In addition to our corporate sponsorships, 16 Knight’s Table Sponsorships are also available for purchase and come with a table of 10 in a premium location, 5 Golden Tickets, swag bags, and business sponsorship benefits.
