Welcome Fall Fun Festivities! |

Esther Fallon Breeding '80
I never dreamed that my life would bring me full circle back to my high school Alma Mater, but I am so grateful for the role LC has played in it.
When I was a student in the late ’70s, LC provided not only a quality education but also opportunities to pursue extra-curricular activities. I was privileged to be a part of forming the LC Women’s Soccer Team, the LC Swim Team, and the Search Retreat Program. This gave me the foundation to continue each of these pursuits in college, as well!
As a former Religion Department Chair and current Search Retreat Coordinator, I have the opportunities to share what I believe are the qualities that set Lexington Catholic apart from any other high school in central Kentucky. Our Religion curriculum (in conjunction with resources from the Spiritual Life Office and the Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) allows us to provide our students with a truly Catholic worldview. From our dynamic Service Club to prayer services and retreats, the faith component of Mind, Spirit and Body is thriving at Lexington Catholic.
Thank you for being a part of this special place, and for sharing your continued support; you are helping to form the future leaders of the Church and of our world.

Fall Knight’s Bash
Friday, October 22
7-11 PM
and
Keeneland Tailgate
Saturday, October 23
11 AM – 1 PM
Join in on our alumni celebration weekend. Everyone can attend! It does not have to be a reunion year, but a chance to come back home to LCHS and enjoy the knight! Friends of LCHS are welcome too!
Reunions can gather as a class before the Fall Knight’s Bash at the school in a reserved location, then join in with everyone for a great night of catching up and dancing to the tunes with those songs that bring back many memories of good times! There will be a dance contest and prizes given!
If there are certain songs, you would like to request to bring back those special memories, please let Pam Schneider know.
The Keeneland Tailgate is on the Hill at Keeneland. We will have snacks and drinks provided. Bring your chairs to relax and enjoy a beautiful afternoon. When the tailgate is over, you can stay to enjoy Keeneland with your friends/group.
This is a great way to have your reunion as you can gather with others at Fall Knight's Bash and Keeneland and then, have Saturday afternoon, evening, and Sunday to gather with your class.
The LCHS versus Anderson County Homecoming football game is on Friday, October 22. If you would like to attend the football game during the Fall Knight’s Bash, please let us know. Contact Pam Schneider.

The uKnight to Serve Challenge encourages community support of Lexington Catholic High School. Current students and families, faculty, staff and alumni, participate by pledging or making a gift to the uKnight Fund during the Challenge period, September 7, 2021- October 29, 2021. Your gift will help fund our tuition assistance program and LCHS school operations.
Celebrating our history of giving back to our community, LCHS will allocate 3% of all cash donations received during the challenge to the Catholic Action Center.
With alumni support, we are planning a Hoagie event for Spring 2022. Your gifts to the uKnight Fund during the challenge will sponsor a donation of 2,000 Hoagie sandwiches (in April).
We will be offering fun incentives to alumni participating at varying levels throughout the 8-week challenge. Join our alumni team!
Thank you for helping LCHS continue serving others while educating the Mind, Spirit, and Body for future generations.

Hoagies 2.0 Coming Soon!
We are bringing Hoagies back on April 23, 2022! Stay tuned for all the information. We want our alumni to come back home, join in, have fun and serve our community too! It is a unique, community-building, wonderful, and much celebrated LCHS tradition!
History note: The first Hoagie Sales were launched in September 1977. Inspired by the promise of a hoagie holiday (half-day off from school before Thanksgiving), the student body sold over 9,000 hoagies in their first year and netted $5,300. In 2019, we sold almost 38,000 hoagies and made over $120,000.
