Campus Crusade Reunions 2020-21 Like so much in society today, our Campus Crusade Reunions are affected by the pandemic. The Catholic Central community prays together for the health and well being of our alumni at campuses throughout the world. Campus Crusade Reunions will return in 2021.
It’s been a true pleasure working with you, Scott. As I sit down to write my first article as your president, I am reflecting on what Catholic Central means to me, how my experiences as a student and an alumnus have shaped my life, and how the legacy of CC fits into the context of our world’s current circumstances. During these times of upheaval and uncertainty, it is more important than ever to lean back into the important relationships in our lives: God, family, and friends.
Catholic Central helped give us a foundation to develop and nourish those special relationships. Ninety-plus years after it was formed, CC continues the legacy of teaching, guiding, and molding young men with lessons that resonate throughout our lives. The CC Alumni Association is here to help foster and continue our unique relationship with our school. Whether your last contact was last week or ten years ago, I urge each and every alumnus to take some time to reacquaint yourself with the school, through the website and other virtual avenues.

As you go about your day, consider reaching out to other members of the Shamrock family and offer that same message of hope to them. It’s an incredibly powerful message that we all need now more than ever. Remember, it’s always “a great day to be a Shamrock!”
