Letter from the President
Dear Alumna,
As we transition into the month of November, I reflect on the various school events held at Catholic High in October. We began by celebrating the Feast Day of our patron saint, St. Francis of Assisi, with a beautiful Liturgy presided by Fr. Jim Kiesel of St. Isaac Jogues Parish. Catholic High was pleased to host several other events this month such as the 39th annual Math Olympiad, Eastern Shore Alumnae Luncheon, and Open House for prospective families!
Please take the time to read the wonderful stories in this edition of the October Alumnae Monthly Update. We hope you will spread the good news of Catholic High, especially as we approach the heart of our recruiting season. We also look forward to welcoming you to our Under the Big Top Gala on Friday, November 14 from 6:00 - 10:30 p.m. at the Boumi Shrine Center.
Lux Tua Luceat,

Finding a Love for Volunteering
During her Sophomore year at Catholic High, Samantha Minnerly '24 stumbled upon Habitat for Humanity as part of her service hour requirement. Later that summer, she volunteered over 80 hours at Habitat for Humanity ReStore and her passion for volunteering was ignited.
Today, she currently works as an Associate for the Chesapeake Region in Glen Burnie and has been doing so for over a year. Samantha's role includes processing donations, pricing items, and even picking up donations from homes in Anne Arundel County. We are so proud of Samantha for living out Catholic High's mission of Christian community service!

| | | | The Alumnae Giving Project | |
Are you interested in assisting the Alumnae Christmas/Giving Project? During the month of October, we donated to the St. Vincent de Paul food pantry and another soup kitchen and clothes closet.
We are currently touching base with former contributors and shoppers to help with our outreach in December! We are donating clothes, shoes, jackets and toys for needy children at a Title One school and a shelter. The Project will also donate items requested by low income senior citizens at a Catholic Charities subsidized residence community. Please contact me if you would like to be a part of this wonderful initiative!
Fondly,
