Dear parents,

As I replayed our Annual Fund Dinner Thursday night, I am so grateful for the many people who came together to celebrate Cardinal Ritter High School. It was truly a special evening, and I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone who attended, supported, sponsored, and helped make the evening such a success. I especially would like to thank our students who made the event so special not just for me but for so many others. Big thanks to Father John McCaslin and Patrick Van Gheem ’22 for their beautiful words.


The Annual Fund Dinner is about much more than an evening of celebration. It is an opportunity to recognize what makes Cardinal Ritter so special: a community of people who believe in our students, support our mission, and are committed to ensuring that a Catholic education remains accessible and transformative for generations to come.

The Annual Fund is essential to the life and future of Cardinal Ritter. Tuition alone does not cover the full cost of providing the exceptional educational experience our students deserve. The generosity of our donors allows us to bridge that gap and invest in the people, programs, and resources that make our school thrive.


Your support directly impacts three important priorities:


  • Financial Aid: Ensuring that students who desire a Cardinal Ritter education have the opportunity to attend, regardless of their family's financial circumstances.
  • Teacher Retention: Supporting and retaining the outstanding teachers who inspire, challenge, mentor, and care for our students each day.
  • Campus Security: Maintaining a safe and welcoming environment where students can learn, grow, and flourish.


Every gift, regardless of its size, makes a difference. It represents a belief in our students, confidence in our teachers, and a commitment to the values and Catholic identity that define Cardinal Ritter.


To those who attended the dinner, thank you for sharing the evening with us. To those who made a gift or continue to support us year after year, please know how deeply appreciated you are. And to everyone who believes in the mission of Cardinal Ritter, I invite you to remain an active part of our story.


Our students are the greatest testament to the impact of your generosity. Every day, they remind me why this work matters. Together, we are not simply educating young people; we are forming young men and women of faith, character, leadership, and service who will make a difference in the world.


Thank you for believing in Cardinal Ritter, for investing in our students.


God bless,

Mrs. Hoy



PS And if Thursday night wasn’t joyful enough, I had the privilege of reading a Halloween story to over 265 West Deanery kindergarten and preschoolers, at our annual Haunted Halls. How JOYFUL was that!

Estimados padres de familia:

Al reflexionar sobre la cena del Fondo Anual (Annual Fund) celebrada jueves, siento

una profunda gratitud por todas las personas que se unieron para celebrar a Cardinal

Ritter High School. Fue una velada verdaderamente especial, y quiero expresar mi más

sincero agradecimiento a todos los que asistieron, brindaron su apoyo, patrocinaron el

evento y ayudaron a que fuera todo un éxito. Deseo agradecer especialmente a

nuestros estudiantes, quienes hicieron que el evento fuera tan especial, no solo para

mí, sino para muchos otros. Un agradecimiento muy especial al padre John McCaslin y

a Patrick Van Gheem (promoción 2022) por sus hermosas palabras.



La cena del Fondo Anual representa mucho más que una simple celebración; es una

oportunidad para reconocer lo que hace que Cardinal Ritter sea tan especial: una

comunidad de personas que creen en nuestros estudiantes, apoyan nuestra misión y

están comprometidas a garantizar que una educación católica siga siendo accesible y

transformadora para las generaciones venideras.

El Fondo Anual es fundamental para la vida y el futuro de Cardinal Ritter. La matrícula

por sí sola no cubre el costo total de ofrecer la experiencia educativa excepcional que

nuestros estudiantes merecen. La generosidad de nuestros donantes nos permite

cerrar esa brecha e invertir en las personas, los programas y los recursos que hacen

que nuestra escuela prospere.


Su apoyo tiene un impacto directo en tres prioridades fundamentales:


  • Ayuda financiera: Garantizar que los estudiantes que desean recibir una educación en Cardinal Ritter tengan la oportunidad de asistir, independientemente de la situación económica de sus familias.
  • Retención del profesorado: Apoyar y retener a los docentes excepcionales que, día a día, inspiran, desafían, orientan y cuidan a nuestros estudiantes.
  • Seguridad en el campus: Mantener un entorno seguro y acogedor donde los estudiantes puedan aprender, crecer y desarrollarse plenamente.


Cada donación, sin importar su monto, marca la diferencia. Representa una muestra de

confianza en nuestros estudiantes y en nuestros docentes, así como un compromiso

con los valores y la identidad católica que definen a Cardinal Ritter.


A quienes asistieron a la cena, gracias por compartir la velada con nosotros. A quienes

realizaron una donación o continúan apoyándonos año tras año, sepan que valoramos

profundamente su contribución. Y a todos los que creen en la misión de Cardinal Ritter,

los invito a seguir siendo una parte activa de nuestra historia.


Nuestros estudiantes son el mejor testimonio del impacto de su generosidad. Cada día,

ellos me recuerdan por qué este trabajo es importante. Juntos, no nos limitamos a

educar a los jóvenes; estamos formando a hombres y mujeres jóvenes de fe, carácter,

liderazgo y vocación de servicio que marcarán una diferencia en el mundo.


Gracias por creer en Cardinal Ritter y por invertir en nuestros estudiantes.



Dios los bendiga

Sra. Hoy
