Spirit of Hope Fundraiser TODAY



Bishop Watterson will hold a fundraiser for the Diocese’s Spirit of Hope Disaster Relief Fund today. This fund will help those impacted by the recent storms and flooding throughout the Diocese, including the especially hard-hit areas of Perry, Muskingum and Licking Counties. Students who donate $1 or more can dress down. Please keep the families and communities affected by the storms in your prayers.

This Sunday, September 13!

Summer Volunteer of the Month

Congratulations to Anthony Whipp ’29, Bishop Watterson Volunteer of the Summer! Anthony spent countless hours this past summer serving at the Hilliard Food Pantry, sorting donations and stocking food. He also dedicated a huge portion of those hot summer months to the outdoor beautification of St. Brendan Parish—mulching, landscaping, removing trees and installing gardens, just to name a few! Throughout it all, Anthony remained a reliable Sunday morning altar server and even found time to lend a hand at the Bishop Watterson Summer Theater Camp. Anthony’s summer was a wonderful example of putting faith into action and choosing to serve others with his time, talents and hard work. We are so proud of Anthony and grateful for the difference he made in our community this summer!



Anthony, thank you for putting Christ’s love into action through your service!

Sophomore Families

Students received their IOWA progress reports on Thursday, September 3.

If a student passed, they have met the testing requirement for graduation and nothing further needs to be done.

If a student did not pass, information regarding retakes and tutoring sessions is provided with the report. The report needs to be signed and returned to the student’s counselor by Friday, September 11. Retakes will be administered the week of November 16 with required tutoring sessions leading up to that week. 

Knights of Columbus Scholarship Applications

The Knights of Columbus Scholarship is a $1,000 scholarship made payable to the high school on behalf of the student and applied to the student’s high school tuition. Financial need, a grade point average of 2.5 or higher, academic awards, community and/or parish involvement and extracurricular activities will be considered. Applications are available in the counseling office and are due to school counselors by Monday, November 23.
