A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT You were designed for accomplishment, engineered for success, and endowed with the seeds of greatness.

- Zig Ziglar

Never underestimate the power of dreams and the influence of the human spirit. We are all the same in this notion: The potential for greatness lives within each of us.

- Wilma Rudolph

T

he inspirational words of Wilma Rudolph and Zig Ziglar articulate it very well, and our school believes it to be true: we are ALL called to greatness. Our rising senior students selected “Excellence” as our Holy Cross Core Value theme for this school year. Excellence is a synonym for greatness, and we will reflect upon and continue to model excellence and greatness in all that we do.

Certainly, emphasizing an energetic call to greatness amid a worldwide pandemic, racial unrest, and with our school undergoing a major construction project, could be perceived as folly. The Old Testament prophet Isaiah spoke of this juxtaposition: It is said that the stars shine most brightly in the darkness. Having just returned from my “homeland” of northern Michigan, I saw the night skies, and, once the summer sun and its’ evening afterglow set, well after 10:00, the sky darkened, and the stars slowly appeared: first, the Big Dipper, then Polaris as the end of the handle of the Little Dipper, then Casiopea, and the rest. On really dark nights, even the Milky Way was visible as a sight to beholden. For all who have experienced this scene, you can agree that it certainly deserves to be called “awesome.” Well, I firmly believe that this school year will also be rightly called “awesome” as we guide our students to the greatness that God is calling them to. Throughout Cathedral’s 102 year history, we have faced challenging times and have always persisted in shining brightly. We will continue to strive for excellence, be a leader in secondary education, and focus on our mission of transforming students to have the competence to see and the courage to act.

Jim Collins, of Good to Great fame, wrote a follow-

2

up business book entitled Great by Choice in 2011. In this book, he studied and researched why certain companies thrived in times of chaos and uncertainty, and why others did not. In his words, “When buffeted by tumultuous events, when hit by big, fast-moving forces that we can neither predict nor control, what distinguishes those who perform exceptionally well from those who underperform or worse?” He found that the successful companies had great discipline, a productive level of paranoia, and deep and empirical creativity, all of which built level five ambition. I invite you to read his fascinating research, and I can tell you that Cathedral is thoughtfully following his blueprint as a guide. In short, we “Choose to be Great” and to get better every day.

As parents and supporters of Cathedral, you have chosen to invest in us. I sincerely appreciate that.

And I choose to show that appreciation by leading us, with the best information available, and with “level five ambition,” into a new school year and beyond. I believe that we will see a great light and that a light will shine on us as we faithfully navigate these interesting times.

Thank you for your prayers and your support, and Go Irish!

more than a decade. Her sons are Cathedral graduates, Connor Barthel ’11 and Collin Barthel ’14.

Her daughter, Caiti Barthel, is a member of the Class of 2023.

No one could anticipate the beginning of Barthel’s tenure as Cathedral’s principal would be such a whirlwind. Just weeks after starting her new job, COVID-19 hit. Barthel led our teachers into eLearning with outstanding professionalism, patience, and perseverance. We are so thankful for her steadfast leadership during this critical time.

athedral is excited to welcome Julie Barthel back to Cathedral High School! Barthel was an educator at Cathedral from 2002-2015, and served several roles, including vice principal for curriculum and instruction. Before returning to Cathedral as our principal, she was the assistant principal at North Central High School.

Barthel has deep roots at Cathedral, so she was able to hit the ground running. Her husband, Tim Barthel, has served on the Cathedral football coaching staff for

We are also thankful that our previous principal of 17 ½ years, Dave Worland, is still a member of Cathedral’s staff. Worland is Cathedral’s Senior Vice President for Mission and Advancement.

His new position is crucial as Cathedral wraps up her Centennial Capital Campaign and begins construction of the Innovation Center.

He is a member of the school’s advancement staff, headed by Nicole Farrell ’98 Beasley. We are grateful for Worland’s loyal service as principal for nearly two decades and thank God for his crucial role with our advancement staff.

Dear Cathedral Alumni, Families and Friends, ow‌.what an interesting end of the year we had for our Cathedral students and educators! So many uncertainties and challenges for our school and our families. We are incredibly proud of how our educators pivoted and transitioned to eLearning, while still trying to support and transform our students academically, socially, emotionally, physically, and spiritually.

Our educators showed amazing grit, resilience, love, kindness, and grace while supporting our students who needed them so very much during this new normal precipitated by COVID-19.

We are extremely grateful for the educators who offered a fantastic summer school experience for nearly 400 students.

We also have sincere gratitude for our administrative assistants, bus drivers, advancement employees, cafeteria workers, daycare workers, technology team members, admissions team members, marketing staff, and others. These compassionate educators rallied to support our students with gift cards for food, Wi-Fi hotspots, yard signs to honor our educators and seniors, and much more. The Cathedral family demonstrated the competence to see and the courage to act. Thank you to Father Jeff, Matt Cannaday, and our marketing team for live streaming Mass for our community at the beginning of the pandemic. It was beautiful to celebrate our faith together, even though we were apart.

Preparation for opening school in the fall has been the number one priority since we finished the school year. We plan to return to the Hill so we can all be together and continue educating hearts and minds.

We want to offer thanks and gratitude to the educators who are leaving Cathedral. We wish them well and thank them for their service to our school and our students. We would also like to welcome our new, enthusiastic educators who are joining our community! What an impressive group!

Take care, and I look forward to a fantastic 2020/21 school year!

Go Irish!

OUR M IS S ION C O N T I N U E D

A SEMEST E R FOR T H E H I STO RY B OOKS

March 12 started like any other school day.

Students rushed out of their homes and headed to school. Some stopped for Starbucks, and others drove up the Hill and hung out in the parking lot until 7:49. Yes, it started like any other day but ended like no other.

T

o protect our families and the community, Cathedral administrators announced campus would be closing, and eLearning would begin the following Monday. The hope was that the closure would only last a few weeks.

In just three short days, our gifted educators transformed their plans from in-person lessons to online instruction. On March 16, classes began at 7:50 a.m.

As time went on and COVID-19 cases rose, it became evident that eLearning was more than a two or three-week break from campus. The Governor announced schools would be closed for the rest of the year. Students were devastated, parents were disheartened, educators were heartbroken. The 2019/20 school year was not supposed to end this way.

While socially distant, students remained close to the hearts of all educators. Teachers, counselors, and administrators worked tirelessly to stay connected to students. “The first day of eLearning, Mrs. (Jen) Shevlin provided her students with a clear plan, “ says parent Anne Marie Moyars. “She set up Google Meets and stayed connected with her students on a

6

personal and academic level. When news came that teachers and students would not be returning, she immediately checked on them, even offering to meet with students. We feel blessed to be part of the Cathedral family.”

Jen Shevlin is just one example of an educator who made sure her students were well taken care of, while also taking care of her own family. Educators continued to share daily prayers and send them to students each day. Clubs and sports teams met virtually. Choir members continued to sing together; the band performed together, and both our Spring Art Show and our Tribute to Hairspray were shared virtually.

Thanks to the efforts of our advancement team, our mission continued in other ways, as well. Our bus drivers and volunteers delivered three rounds of grocery gift cards to our food-insecure families. We transformed our Day of Giving to a Day of Caring, as we honored the Class of 2020 and raised money to ensure more students are blessed to receive a Cathedral education. We raised close to $72,000 from 363 gifts! Thank you to all who donated, and thank you to our excellent hosts for the day, Colleen O’Malia ‘02 Stine and Colleen Ryan ‘02 Lotz.

The Day of Caring was just one way we honored our seniors. We delivered yard signs, their cap and gowns, and other unique gifts. We purchased celebratory Class of 2020 billboards and ads and hung pictures of all of our seniors on the Hill. We joyfully welcomed seniors back to campus in May to take graduation photos before construction began.

Yes, amid a pandemic, construction has begun on

our Innovation Center. If there is a small silver lining to this awful disease, we were able to start construction a bit earlier than planned.

One of our Holy Cross values is Hope. The motto for Congregation of Holy Cross is Specs Unica, and it refers to the Cross as Our Only Hope. It is hope that empowers us. Even as we take up our Crosses, “we walk of Easter’s first light,” for we have hope.

So, we continue to build an Innovation Center that will propel our students to greatness.

We thank all of you for your donations, encouragement, and prayers.

We continue to pray for you, especially those who have lost friends and loved ones due to COVID-19. May God comfort you during this time of profound loss. May all of us remember to cherish our relatives, friends, and our beautiful Cathedral family and never take them for granted.

Construction on the Innovation Center (top right) and the new Spirit Shop (bottom right) is moving quickly. The Spirit Shop will be opening in September and will be accessible from the parking lot.

Restaurant owners Ed Sahm 79 and his son, Eddie Sahm ‘05, converted their business model to an operation to benefit the not-for-profit Second Helpings, offer takeout at some locations, and open a series of marketplaces, where customers can get grocery items. Nice work, gentlemen!

C UR R E NT S T UDE NT S HE LP ING T OO! Civil Air Patrol Cadets Kieran McCauley ‘21, Alysse Neal ‘23, and Owen Wright ‘21 of the Major General Robert Nester Cadet Squadron at Cathedral participated with more than 90 members of the Indiana Civil Air Patrol, Indiana National Guard, and Gleaners Food Bank to help distribute meals to 5,000 Hoosier Families at the Indiana State Fairgrounds. As one of the largest no-contact food distribution efforts in the state, the volunteers provided Indianapolis families with 35 pounds of fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, fresh meat, and milk.

The CAP program is an Air Force-themed extracurricular activity that offers a place to develop leadership skills while exploring aviation and STEM careers.

COMPETENCE TO SEE, COURAGE TO ACT C AT H E D R A L S E N I O R H E L P I N G S H I E L D PEOPLE FROM COVID-19

C

athedral’s mission statement includes the words “competence to see and the courage to act.” William Teasley ‘21 had the competence to see a problem and the courage to work on a solution.

Teasley’s cousin, a neonatal nurse, told him that face shields were becoming hard to find due to COVID-19.

“She told me that they were having to heavily reuse the ones they had, which can be very unsafe for not only the nurses but the patients too,” says Teasley. “I had recently seen people online printing these face shields, and I knew I could help out too.”

Teasley went right to work. He researched FDA regulations regarding PPE or personal protective equipment, borrowed his step brother’s 3D printer, made a few face shields, and donated them to his cousin.

After realizing how much the shields were needed, Teasley wanted to make more. You could say this was when Cathedral’s Holy Cross Value of Divine Providence came into play. Cathedral received 60 3D printers. Teasley contacted the school’s Director of Technology, Brian Haselby, to see if he could borrow a few of them. “I quickly found out the printers were broken and required maintenance,” Teasley says. “I then made a deal with

WAY S Y O U CAN HELP

Mr. Haselby: I would fix some of the printers if I could use them to make face shields. He agreed, and I increased my production threefold.”

So far, Teasley has made more than 500 face shields and donated more than 100. His goal is to donate more than 250 face shields by the end of the summer.

“My experience at Cathedral has inspired me to do this service for the community by providing me with all the resources I needed to continue my efforts.

Cathedral has instilled in me the drive to help others by requiring service hours and hosting days of service. Cathedral also sparked my initial interest in 3D printing, which has been a wonderful engineering challenge. The most rewarding part of this is knowing that others are truly benefitting from my efforts and doing my part in combating this global pandemic.”

We are so proud of William Teasley for answering the call to help others and living out Cathedral’s Holy Cross values.

If you have access to a 3D printer and would like to help, please email us at

news@gocathedral.com, and we will connect you with Teasley. He can share the .stl

file with you and all the resources needed to make face shields. If you don’t have a 3D printer and still want to help, you can donate funds to help cover the cost of material

used for the face shields. You can also find a way to use your own skills and resources available to you to fight this virus, whether it’s making cloth face masks or donating money to organizations that are helping virus patients or researching a vaccine.

Holy Cross Brothers!

Cathedral High School is blessed by the presence of a new Holy Cross team for the upcoming school year. Thanks to Br. Ken Haders, Provincial for the Midwest Province of Congregation of Holy Cross, and in cooperation with the Archdiocese of Indianapolis, three Holy Cross religious men are on staff the 2020/21 school year. These men, two Brothers, and one Priest will live and assist in an Indianapolis parish on the weekends, and be a part of the full-time staff at Cathedral High School. The three are as follows:

Rev. Fr. Emmanuel Babu Joseph Kallarackal, CSC, Ph.D., aka “Fr. Emmanuel”

He is a longtime Holy Cross educator, most notably as the President/ Principal and founder of a Holy Cross secondary school in India for 15 years. He earned his Ph.D. from Fordham University in New York City. He is due to arrive at Cathedral sometime in the fall due to the worldwide pandemic and travel complications, and he is thrilled to be coming here! He has a thousand stories to share and a disarming smile. Fr. Emmanuel will serve as our school chaplain, and his presence will be a tremendous gift to us!

Br. Roberto Jiminez, CSC,

is a longtime Holy Cross educator, most notably as a teacher, coach, and campus minister at Holy Trinity High School in Chicago and Holy Cross School in New Orleans. He also was a Pastoral Associate at San Jose Sanchez del Rio Parish in Chicago for 13 years. Br. Roberto has a Master of Arts in Religious Studies from the University of Incarnate Word in San Antonio, and a BA in Bilingual Education from St. Edward’s University in Austin, Texas. Br. Roberto will be teaching 11th and 12th-grade Religion and will also assist as a liaison to the Latino community.

Br. Robert Livernois, CSC, aka “Br. Bob”, is also a longtime Holy Cross educator with tremendous experience in teaching, counseling, and leadership training.

He has been a longstanding admirer of Cathedral and is “joyfully excited” to be coming to us. Br. Bob earned a BS in Education and an MA in Guidance and Counseling. He also has an MA equivalent degree in School Administration. Br. Bob will be teaching US History and helping with our new Holy Cross Formation Team. He comes to us from Gilmour Academy outside of Cleveland and has also served at Archbishop Hoban High School in Akron, Ohio, and Holy Cross College in South Bend, among other schools.

“Having spent two years at Cathedral just a few years ago, I know how great the school is,” says Br. Ken. “I am very pleased that three new Holy Cross religious are to join the Cathedral family at this time. I am confident their gifts will contribute to the school’s mission to transform students to have the competence to see and the courage to act.”

Thank you to Br. Ken Haders and Congregation of Holy Cross for helping with this bold endeavor. God is calling all of 10our students to greatness, and these extraordinary men will inspire our young people to answer that call.

BL A CK LIVES

M AT TE R Whitley Walton | Cathedral Class of 2021 In recent months, the words “Black Lives Matter” have been ringing throughout the nation. Echoing in streets full of protestors. Printed on signs in your neighbors’ yards. Shared on social media millions of times over.

But what is Black Lives Matter? What is its purpose? Why should you care?

What is Black Lives Matter?

Black Lives Matter is a movement founded in 2013 by three back women, Patrisse Khan-Cullors, Alicia Garza, and Opal Tometi. It was initiated after Trayvon Martin, an unarmed 17-yearold Black male, was shot and killed

by George Zimmerman in Florida.

Zimmerman was acquitted, and the incident sparked outrage across the country, including the mobilization of #BlackLivesMatter.

For seven years that outrage simmered, as more images surfaces of Black lives that did not appear to matter at all. On May 25, George Floyd, a Black man, died during an arrest, when a Minneapolis police officer knelt with a knee on Floyd’s neck for eight minutes and 46 seconds.

The video of that encounter was sobering. It was significant. And more importantly, it was shared. Citizens around the country, and people across the globe saw first-hand what happens when Black lives don’t matter, and the world cried out.

What is its Purpose?

Black Lives Matter is an out-cry for the recognition of the importance of Black lives in America. Many Black women, men, children, disabled, queer and transgender Americans fear becoming victims of violence. They fear being targeted by police officers. They fear encounters with racist neighbors.

They fear an unjust judicial system. They fear because these stories are not new, nor are they just a few.

Ahmaud Arbery, a 25-year-old Black man who was chased, shot and killed by two white men in Georgia. His only crime? Going for a jog to stay healthy and fit.

Breonna Taylor, a 26-year-old Black woman who was

asleep in her apartment when Louisville police entered without a warning, firing bullets into her home that killed her. Her only crime? Fitting the description of two suspects who were already in custody.

Elijah McClain, a 23-year-old Black man with autism who was detained by three Aurora, Colorado police officers and then injected with 500 milligrams of ketamine, leading to a fatal heart attack. His only crime? Wearing a mask to go to a convenience store because he was anemic.

Black Lives Matter

What Can You Do To Help?

Why Should You Care?

Converse with your family and friends about police brutality. Educate yourself by reading books or watching documentaries regarding the Black experience in America. Donate to trusted organizations like Black Visions Collective or The Bail Project. Go out to the polls and vote. Sign and share petitions.

Exercise your First Amendment right to peacefully and safely protest.

The Cathedral family is a multitude of ethnicities and cultures. The Black community of Cathedral needs your support more now than ever. Every student, teacher, administrator, and staff member is hurting. The support from you, our friends, our allies, and our families is what we need to combat racism in America. All lives cannot matter until Black Lives Matter as well. We cannot simply be not racist, but rather anti-racist. With unity, we will achieve equity for everyone in this nation.

Cathedral High School joined schools throughout Marion County on Juneteenth for “Lights for Justice.” George Floyd was born on October 14, so the lights of football stadiums and practice fields were turned on at 10:14 p.m. The lights stayed on for 8 minutes 46 seconds, as a memorial to Mr. Floyd and to shine the spotlight on the need to fight racial injustice. Cathedral’s Vice President for Diversity and Inclusion, Ken Barlow ’82, is also hosting a series of Safe Space Forums for students and staff to Listen, Learn, and Love.

SHARING PEACE AND LOVE

The Indiana Department of Education released the 2018-19 ratings for Indiana schools, and Cathedral earned an A. As a matter of fact, Cathedral has received an A rating all nine years this DOE acknowledgment program has been in place. The DOE bases the ratings on several factors, including state test scores, academic growth, and graduation rates.

“This grade is yet another indicator of excellent outcomes based on our mission to educate the hearts and minds of our young people,” says President Rob Bridges.

“Cathedral is blessed to have an outstanding group of teachers and counselors who are academic professionals,” says Principal Julie Barthel. “Our teachers and counselors love and care for their students and build trusting relationships that last a lifetime. Our students believe it’s ‘cool to be smart,’ so they take full advantage of the many spiritual, academic, and social opportunities afforded to them every day.”

Cathedral educator Jon Kane, his daughter Julia Kane, Jade Miller ’20, and Luke Hern ’22 created a beautiful mural on Mass Ave. after the murder of Cathedral alumnus Chris Beaty ’00.

S T U D E N T N E W S PA P E R W E B S I T E T O P F I V E IN THE COUNTRY! Last fall, the Indiana High School Press Association named the Cathedral High School newspaper website, irishmegaphone.com, the best website in the state in Division II, schools with enrollments between 1,001 and 2,000.

On April 17, the National Scholastic Press Association named the Megaphone website the fourth best in the nation for high schools with fourgrade enrollments below 1,500.

The awards, called Best of Show, were announced in a virtual presentation from the NSPA offices at the University of Minnesota.

Typically, the honors are made at the NSPA’s annual spring conference, but that event in Nashville, Tennessee was canceled this year due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Nic Napier ‘20 and Ava Amos ‘21 served as the co-editors-in-chief of the newspaper. They directed a staff of 18 students who produce a digital issue every three to four weeks during the school year and who update the newspaper’s website and Twitter feed (@IrishMegaphone) with new content every school day. Tony Willis is the journalism department moderator.

n behalf of the seniors, I want to extend a thank you to the faculty, administration, and to everyone else who made this graduation ceremony possible. In this era of virtual and drive through graduations, we are so fortunate to celebrate together. Graduation speakers often talk about the daunting task of sharing unique observations and perspectives. While there might be a shortage of toilet paper, there is no shortage of events in both our micro and macro worlds for us to reflect upon today.

patience. Señora Morris provided consistent support and feedback, especially towards her students taking the AP exams, and Mrs. Twilleager devised a project rivaling the rigor of assignments given at the university level. Faculty members went to every senior’s home to deliver a yard sign to celebrate and commemorate their accomplishments. Mrs. Herron created a mural of our photographs for senior mass, and a prayer was texted to us every single day to remind us to focus on the good. The Cathedral community never abandoned us.

The first time our entire class gathered together, Father Zahn remarked how lucky we were to be in the Class of 2020 and hoped that like 20/20 vision, we would have the wisdom to see clearly. Ironically, 2020 has been anything but clear. We are witnessing the world change yet again. The bookends of our lives have been 9/11 and COVID-19 intertwined with the continued struggle for political and social equality.

In March, the country shut down. Suddenly, there were no more practices in our Cathedral world, ping pong in the SLC, lanyards, and flex meetings. We found ourselves completely removed from our normal.

Throughout the country, everyday experiences such as waiting in traffic, going into an office for work, and meeting people for lunch abruptly stopped. Panic ensued as everything seemed scary, with even a trip to Kroger being fraught with danger.

Amid our worlds acclimating to combat this pandemic, Cathedral stayed true to her promise of educating our hearts and minds. Teachers quickly transferred their entire curriculum plans to electronic versions without skipping a beat, and counselors made themselves available to provide resources to help academically, socially, and emotionally. Some shining examples include Mrs. Bender, who figured out how to run a piano recital via Zoom, Garage Band, and extreme 18

Our class also pulled together this spring. We traversed the worlds of Zoom and GoogleMeets and embarked on individual journeys to develop new hobbies and strengthen our knowledge. We remained connected through Netflix parties, driveby birthday celebrations, and a commitment to support one another.

These experiences have taught us the importance of community and recognizing the value of new ideas for growth. We tend to think of the purpose of school as developing cognitive skills, but what is more apparent now than ever before is the role of schools in cultivating the sense of community. The school’s environment allows for the social support we need to grow into the best version of ourselves, versions that appreciate the talents, ideas, and values of everyone.

We are so lucky to have been on campus for 15/16 of the time or 93.8%. We may have lost prom and the Irish 500, but we did not lose our community, our family. Today, the Class of 2020, unlike many of the other graduating classes this year, is present, engaged, and together, just like we were four years ago at mass during freshmen orientation.

As we sit here engaged in our own accomplishments, we must remember to be engaged in society. We cannot ignore the gross inequity of our nation in its current state. As we sit here today, we must recognize the importance of our actions both for the betterment or detriment of society. While many of the other people here and I may never understand systemic racism through personal experience, we as a community are still committed to change. As members of this same community, we must remain accountable to one another and dedicate ourselves to finding solutions that allow everyone to feel a sense of belonging and value. The awareness that has been raised, the petitions that have been signed, and the tough conversations that have occurred all contribute to the goal of equity. These are promising first steps, but that is all they are; first steps in a long journey that all of us need to take in identifying inequalities and taking individual responsibility when possible to right them.

Cathedral emphasizes the Holy Cross Core Values of Excellence, Educating Hearts and Minds, Option for the Poor, Inclusiveness and Diversity, Hope, Family, Integrity, and Zeal. As 18-year olds, we have the tools necessary to help the world, especially now as we navigate the unknown. We are surrounded by leaders, mentors, friends, and family. The relationships cultivated on top of the Hill translate to deep, personal connections that adapt rather than fizzle when times prove challenging.

Now, it is we who are called to make change, to be the catalysts that inspire social and political revolutions.

As Harper Lee said, “The only thing that doesn’t abide by majority rule is a person’s conscience.” My challenge to you, Class of 2020, is to educate yourself, hold tightly to your moral compasses, and take risks.

Our world is in desperate need of leaders, people who can organize, unite, and motivate others for the betterment of society.

hanks to a generous donation from Dan ‘70 and Betsy Brunette in the winter of 2016, Cathedral has been blessed to call the former Central Little League Headquarters at 44th and Mitthoeffer (now known as Brunette Park) home.

Over the last four years, we have made many updates, including transforming both softball and baseball fields from Little League to IHSAA regulation (fields lengthened, fences moved, a new scoreboard), and establishing a cross country course. Most importantly, our students have enjoyed home fields! We are now excited to announce that thanks to an additional donation by Dan ‘70 and Betsy expansion will continue out at Brunette Park!

Partnering with Shiel Sexton, CSO, Schneider Corporation, and The Plaid Agency, Cathedral will embark on a master plan for the 35-acre complex. The master plan will complement the existing baseball field while also imagining additional possibilities that we’ve only dared to dream.

Wrestlers Win State – Make History They focused on the present. Always.

Because they did, and largely because of a memorable Saturday morning, the 20192020 Cathedral High School wrestling team made history.

Sophomore Zeke Seltzer and senior Holden Parsons won individual state titles, and clutch performances by multiple wrestlers helped the Irish win the 2020 Indiana High School Athletic Association State Tournament at Bankers Life Fieldhouse on February 22, 2020.

It was the Irish’s third consecutive state title and fourth in six years, and Irish coach Sean McGinley ‘88 said focusing on the task at hand rather than history was key.

Boys Swimming and Diving They maximized their potential, and reached a lot of goals.

The Irish did so with a team of dedicated, multi-talented athletes – and as swimming coach Ashley Hill saw it, that made the 2019-2020 Cathedral High School boys swimming season a success.

“We were more successful than many would have expected,” Hill said.

Bowling Progress was made, and fun was had.

That’s a good combination, and that was an overriding theme for Cathedral High School bowling in 2019-2020. “We had a very good season,” Irish bowling coach Mark Noe said. Irish bowling, as has been the case in recent seasons, had stronger numbers in the boys program than the girls program in 2019-20 – but Noe said both teams improved through a season that featured a fifth-place finish in the sectional tournament for a boys program that was strong through much of the season.

Much went well, and the future looks bright. Head Coach Jason Ashley Hill left no doubt. The Delaney said both things were 2019-2020 Cathedral High true for Cathedral High School School girls swimming season was as successful as any in recent boys basketball in 2019-2020. It was a successful season by any program history, and Hill – the measure. “But it doesn’t change program’s coach – said it will be the sting of the end,” Delaney remembered as such. “The girls said. A young, inexperienced had a spectacular season,” she Irish team set new standards in said. The Irish, a team of seven seniors and significant youth, not ’19-’20, finishing 18-6 in difficult only won a fourth consecutive city circumstances – and against championship in 2019-2020, they one of the area’s more difficult schedules.

Girls Basketball Overall, Lisa Finn liked what she saw. That didn’t mean the first-year head coach or the Lady Irish players loved everything about the results of the 2019-2020 Cathedral High School girls basketball season. Still, this past season was about establishing a program. On that front, progress was made – a lot of progress. And a foundation was laid on which much can be built moving forward.

Saluting Our Senior Spring Sports Scholar/Athletes While COVID-19 may have forced the cancellation of our 2020 spring sports season, it did not impact the pride we have for our outstanding senior athletes and the contributions they’ve made to Cathedral’s tradition of athletic excellence. On the next two pages, we’ve included excerpts from our salute to our senior scholar/athletes. To read the full tributes, please visit our athletic website at cathedralhs.rschoolteams.com.

Baseball The Irish’s four-player ’20 senior class: Kyle Cortner, a three-year letter winner, a left-handed pitcher and first baseman who Coach Ed Freije said pitched significant innings as a junior while hitting in the middle of the order.

“He was going to be one of our top arms,” Freije said. “He was a guy we were counting on.”

Cam Clark, a two-year letter winner who Freije said was going to pitch extensively and factor in as an infielder as a senior after playing left field as a junior. “He was little bit of a moving piece – wherever he helped us the most and could fit in the lineup he was willing to do and able to do,” Freije said. Clark will play at Spalding University in Louisville, KY. Sam Greene, a two-year letter winner who was going to compete in the outfield as a senior. “He hads a strong work ethic and was a leader for us in a number of ways,” Freije said. “He’s a guy who’s going to step up and do what’s needed to be done.” Greene will attend Ole Miss.

Daylen Hall, a two year letter winner, and a four-year two sport athlete in football and baseball. “He’s a tremendous athlete and was going to compete in the outfield and have a good opportunity for us” Freije said.

Girls Lacrosse While the senior class was comparatively small, Coach Mary Ann White said the foursome were impactful and will leave a legacy. They were: Lindsey Douglas, midfield. “She brings the heat, the intensity every game she plays,” White said. “She hypes up the girls vocally, as well as in the way she plays. She’s willing to sacrifice. She plays with a lot of heart and leads by the way she plays.”

Meghan Klenke, attacker and midfielder. “Meghan is probably one of my biggest team players,” White said. “She’s a really consistent player and she’s really selfless. She doesn’t get glamourous stats, but in order to get the pretty stats like the shots and assists, you have to do things like ground balls and draw controls and turnovers. She gets those and makes sure everything she does is to better a teammate. Everything she did set somebody ups or success.”

Payton Snyder, defense. “She loves the team and loves the program,” White said. “She loves the other girls, so she puts in a lot of work. She’s a big communicator and plays defense. She does a lot of off-field work, too. She makes sure girls feel included and makes sure everyone’s accountable. She doesn’t get the pretty stats and I was looking forward to be key on our defense this year.”

Laine Webster, attack and midfield. “She’s just a very powerful, strong athlete,” White said. “She brings a lot of height to the team. She’s very competitive and wants to win. She keeps competition really high in practice and pushes the other players.”

The Irish’s senior class included the following athletes: Ayden Alerding. “Every year, he would come back and say, ‘Coach, I’m going to get better,’’Coach Pat Fagan said.

“And he did. He would have found a way to play in some matches. He would have been in our Top 7, Top 8. We’re going to miss him.”

Chris White, midfielder: “He has been on the varsity team for four years and really came into his own last year as a topline guy. He’s a big, tall, strong player and was really looking forward to having a breakout season, “said Coach Andy Gruber.

John Petruzzi, attack. “Probably one of the best players we have on the offensive side of the field. A tough player, incredibly smart, sees the field really well.”

Mark Saba, attack. “One of our backup midfielders. He was really looking to find his way on the field a lot more this year.

He had a strong season last year until he got injured and we had a lot of expectation for him to do some great stuff.”

Nico Lopresti, attack. “One of our co-captains. A great player. I think he was really set to have another great year.

Great kid, great leader.”

Jack Neidlinger, attack. “Probably one of the best attackmen we’ve had in a while. Transferred from Carmel last year and immediately fit in. He was going to be very strong for us.”

Joey Mattei, attack. “He was looking to get some time at defensive midfield and was really starting to step up and be able to fill that hole.”

Gideon Sullivan, long stick middle. “A new player for us, came to Indianapolis from Buffalo to play hockey and waas coming into his own and fitting into the program. He could have had a really interesting year for us.”

Bryce Johnson, long stick middle. “He sat back, watched and was waiting for an opportunity to play. He would have had opportunities this year, and he had really started to come around.”

Matt Dennen, co-captain and four-year starter and attack/ midfielder. “Switched to defensive midfield after playing attack and midfield the last two years. He was playing great defense in the preseason and was set to have another great year. One of the best players we’ve had. So versatile.”

Sam Bedich, midfield. “All-American last year and a captain.

He was set to be Player of the Year in the state. He was going to have an expanded role as well. Great kid. Great player.

Walks away from high school with four state championships [in lacrosse/hockey] in three and a half years. That’s pretty good.”

Will A’hearn, defensive midfield. “Had a great year last year.

A captain. Great kid. Set to have another very strong year for us. One of the workhorses. We’re really going to miss Will.”

Colin Bilbrey. Long stick midfielder. “He had an injury last year and didn’t get a lot of time. He was really starting to play well and was trying to lock that position down. Tough for him not to have that breakout opportunity.”

Liam McClure. “Started as a freshman and didn’t get a lot of time as a junior. He was coming in this year as one of the top guys defensively. Would have been great to see that senior year.”

Ryan Berutich, goal. “He was a great leader and a big piece of the program.”

Carter Caito. “He just started getting better and better every year,” Fagan said. “After his freshman year, his swing coach came to me and said, ‘One more year of lessons and he’ll be ready to help your varsity the last two years.’ He has basically improved three shots a year every year for nine holes, which is six for 18 holes. He just kept getting better and better. It would have been really, really fun to see how good he could have been this year. I definitely think he would have been fighting for All-State honors.”

David Cooke, a four-year player and a huge player throughout his career for the Irish. He averaged 39.8 for nine holes as a junior. “He played in the state tournament his freshman and sophomore year, and he played No. 2 all last season and would have been No. 1 or 2 all this season,” Fagan said. “I have no doubt that David would have played in the state again this year had the virus not hit.”

Braden Estes, a four-year letterman. He also played in the state tournament as a freshman and sophomore before not playing in the postseason as a junior. “But last summer, this past fall and this past winter, he worked his rear off and I have no doubt he was going to be back to where he had been prior and playing really, really well for us,” Fagan said of Estes, who will attend North Central College in Naperville, Ill. “We will miss him in so many ways.” Estes has a 4.33 grade point average and would have been a strong candidate for Academic All-State honors.

Caleb Land. He transferred from Scecina after his freshman year, played varsity throughout his junior season – and improved his score by 3.5 shots over nine holes to become a major contributor on the sectional and city champions.

“He’s another guy who would have had a chance to vie for All-State,” Fagan said. “As with the other seniors, Caleb would have been able to show to everyone how good he had become. I think this past off-season his work ethic and maturity grew and he was going to become a very good player.”

SUMMER 2020 CATHEDRAL HIGHLIGHTS

Softball Grace Lorsung, catcher. Considered the state’s top senior softball player in 2020, Lorsung was a three-time All-City and two-time All-State selection who will play collegiately at Indiana University. She also was a Valedictorian who hit .485 with 25 career home runs, 33 doubles and 114 runs batted in. “She’s just unbelievable – her drive,” Bamrick said. “She’s the epitome of a leader,” said Coach Linday Bamrick. “Even though she’s vocal, she’s also very humble and unassuming. She just gets the job done.. Lorsung also stood out for the time she spent mentoring young players in the Indiana Magic Gold 18u program. She’s the total package,” Bamrick said.

Mia Dittoe, shortstop. A two-time All-City selection who played on the Indiana Magic Gold 18u team, she will play collegiately at College of Charleston. She hit .361 for her career with four home runs, 17 doubles and 72 runs batted in – and was emerging as a vocal leader. “She was really making positive strides,” Bamrick said of Dittoe, who began her career at Cathedral as a centerfielder before moving to shortstop. “She’s going to be very versatile at the next level. She has that knack for the game.”

Annika Garwood, pitcher. A three-time All-City selection who battled injuries as a sophomore and junior, she will play collegiately at DePauw University. She also plays first base and is a strong power hitter who went 31-20 as a pitcher in three seasons with 287 strikeouts. She also hit .438 with nine home runs, 20 doubles and 63 runs batted in. “We were really excited about her senior year,” Bamrick said of Garwood. “She came into the season in the best shape possible. She was throwing the ball in the offseason better than I’ve seen in her whole career at Cathedral. That

was really frustrating because she was in prime shape for going out on top.”

Emily Timberman, third base. She hit .405 for her career with 14 home runs, 16 doubles and 63 runs batted in. “She was someone who every single year got more confident,” Bamrick said. “Her numbers kept increasing in terms of batting average, home runs … everything.”

Andi Manship, right field/pitcher. A Salutatorian, she finished her career with three home runs, 10 doubles and 34 runs batted in and played a key role as a pitcher at key times; she was the winning pitcher in the Irish’s 2019 6-3 regional victory over Mount Vernon. “She was injured entering her freshman year, and moved away from pitching for a while because of injuries,” Bamrick said. “She had to get back to that pace. She really came through for us the last two postseasons when Annika went down. She’s another young lady who loves the competition.”

Emily Veigel, left field. A versatile player who played multiple roles throughout her career, Veigel according to Bamrick was a “solid, fundamentally sound player. In pressure situations, we could always count on her to pull through.

She’s a great young lady to coach.”

The senior class also featured three players entering their first varsity season: outfielder Hannah Miller, second baseman Tessa Beesley and Lily Wagoner.

Rugby The ’20 Royal Irish featured five seniors from Cathedral: Danny Brady, twins Demetrio and Vincent Constantino, Emmitt Williams and Tyler Wagner. Brady played for the program as a junior in 2019, with the Costantinos joining the program in 2020 and expected to play a major role as seniors.

Girls Tennis Meg Coleman. One of the most successful tennis players in program history, she finished with an 82-1 record and was an All-State singles player in 2017, 2018 and 2019. She won the state doubles title in 2018 with Claire Koscielski 2018, was a team state finalist in 2018 and was critical to the team’s 2019 state title. Coleman won key matches in the state semifinal victory over Carmel and the state final victory over Park Tudor in 2019 – matches that lasted a combined five and a half hours .“She will go down in Cathedral Tennis historyas one of the most talented and gifted athletes to play for the Lady Irish,” Coach Mark Noe said, adding that she had a “sheer will to win.” Noe added, “Her gutsy performance at state last year obviously cemented her greatness.”

Cole Spau, a first-team All-State Doubles selection in 2019 who was named honorable mention All-State singles in 2018 and honorable mention All-State doubles in 2017, she also was a member of the 2019 team state champions and a member of the 2018 state runners-up. “She’s really come on as a great player in doubles,” Noe said of Spau, who

teamed with senior Bella Montefalco to win between 40-to-50 matches against five losses. “They were a wonderful team – very, very steady. Every year they got better and better. They were going to be a top contender for the state doubles title.”

Bella Montefalco, a first-team All-State doubles selection in 2019 who was a member of the 2019 state team champions and the 2018 state runners-up – and who Noe said will be remembered for her “fearless approach to her game and overall effort.” “They were two peas in a pod,” Noe said of Montefalco/Spau. “They played so well together. They won some big matches. They played great against Carmel and Park Tudor when those teams were loaded.”

Rachel Konesco, a member of the 2019 state champions and 2018 runners-up. “She’s really gotten better every year since her freshman year,” Noe said. “We were looking for a lot of good stuff to happen for her this year.” Noe said one of Konesco’s biggest moments came at the 2019 Penn Classic.

“Rachel won some big matches against Munster and against Penn,” Noe said. “That got us over the edge to win that tournament without one of our top players, when both of those teams were loaded.”

Girls Track Seniors for Irish girls track in ’20 were: My’Jah Mintze, a state medalist in 2019 in the 4x200 and 4x100. She won the 60-meter dash at the Roncalli Invite in 7.88 seconds in 2020. “She had an outstanding offseason and indoor season and was well on her way to being a state finalist in the 60,” Coach John O’Hara said. “She definitely put in a lot of the work.”

The 4x200 relay, which medaled with a school record in 2019 in the indoor state meet and which was ranked sixth in the state when sports were canceled. The team won the Roncalli Invite in 1:47.44. Team members included: Kayla Pitts, Mintze, Alexis Parchman, Reese Sanders, Amani Barnes. “They were looking to do some big things,” O’Hara said.

Gracie Carr, who was coming off an injury – and who was a state finalist in the 1,600 as a junior and in cross country. “She was starting to come into her own,” O’Hara said.

Audrey McKinney, a state finalist in the 3,200 and the 4x800 in 2019. “She was doing really well and setting some nice marks early in the season,” O’Hara said.

Katie Rushka, distance runner. “They’ve been the ultimate team girls,” O’Hara said of Carr, McKinney and Rushka. “They’ve taken care of that distant team, which has grown in the last year – which I’m really proud of.”

Amani Barnes, relays.

Nyah Conway, hurdles and high jump – and a sectional champion in the high jump as a sophomore.

Bella Leous, hurdles.

Alise Chavis, shot put and discus.

Boys Track Irish ’20 boys track seniors were: Nick Hruskoci, who won the 3,200 at the LC Qualifier No. 1 in March in 9:37.8. “He was off to a great start, highly motivated,” Coach John O’Hara said.

Max Martin, pole vaulter, who finished third at the LC Qualifier No. 1 with a vault of 13-0. “He was on his way to the indoor state finals,” O’Hara said.

Shiloh Means, sprinter, who finished fifth in the 60-yard dash at the LC Qualifier in 7.1 seconds and second in the 60 at the Roncalli Invite in 7.15. “He missed his junior year and was on his way to the state finals in the 60 meters,” O’Hara said.

Quinton Cannon, high jumper, long jumper, sprinter.

Grant Ferguson, a 4x800 medalist at the state meet as a junior.

Jordan Thomas, 100 meters and 4x100 relay.

Garrett Stewart, 200 meters and 400 meters.

Zach Gregor, pole vaulter.

Aaron Cotton, shot put and discus.

Boys Volleyball Sam McEntire, a third-year varsity player, third-year captain and third-year setter. “His leadership is awesome,” Coach Rhonda Low said. “I remember taking him aside his sophomore year and saying, ‘How would you like to be the setter of the program?’ He said, ‘I’ve never set before in my life.’ I told him, ‘Not a problem. We’ll teach you.’ He’s worked hard and communication has always been good with him.”

Edwin Perez, defensive specialist. “We brought him up last season to go to the postseason with us,” Low said of Perez. “He was flat-out killing the defense.”

Will Snyder also a defensive specialist who played many positions coming up but was settling into his DS role. Will was a great athlete and was also a member of the football team.

Joe Khonwai, outside hitter who could play front and back row – “and basically where he was needed.” “His team play set him up for a good season,” Low said.

Gabe Landeros, middle hitter. A shoulder injury caused him to give up baseball and return to the Irish volleyball program. “He has great leadership skills,” Low said. “It’s just a family thing. We were very excited to have him back in the program.”

McCullough participated in almost every sport, but football was his favorite. He was an All-Star player who made a significant impact on the outcome of games and at school. Moreover, family and friends were always first with him, because he wanted to see them do and be the best that they could be. Everyone knew him for his calm, laid back demeanor, smile, politeness, and outlook on life.

Everything this young man did was for his family, especially his three younger brothers, DaMonty, Terryon, and Telli. Mario McCullough was “his brother’s keeper.”

Cathedral High School was honored to host a Moving Memorial for Mario McCullough.

A Season of Tremendous Loss

Chris Beaty ‘00 hristopher “Chris” Warren Beaty a lifelong resident of Indianapolis, died on Saturday, May 30, 2020 at the age of 38. His untimely death has left a hole, not only with his friends and family, but in the entire Indianapolis community.

Beaty was a standout student-athlete at Cathedral High School, where he was part of three state champion football teams, and Indiana University, where he played football all four years.

“He became a very good player, but an even better teammate,” says Athletic Director Rick Streiff. Streiff was Beaty’s football coach at Cathedral. “We used to talk with our teams about how your best friends in the world will be part of this team, and I believe that was true for Chris. Beaty kept that focus on ‘team’ as a foundation in his later life,” says Streiff.

He spent his adult life in Indianapolis where his career of entrepreneurship, event planning, and hospitality all furthered his goal of improving the city he loved. Chris was the owner of Fresh Marketing, and notably he worked on events for the Indianapolis 500, NCAA Final Four, Super Bowl, NFL Combine, Kentucky Derby, Breeders’ Cup, and the memorial for Muhammad Ali. Family and friends have established the Chris Beaty Memorial Scholarship Fund to raise money for scholarships to Cathedral and Indiana University. The GoFundMe initiative set up for the fund reached its initial goal of $130,000 on June 13, the day of Beaty’s Mass of Christian Burial at Cathedral. “Scholarships that provide opportunities for others are a fitting tribute to Beaty,” says Executive Vice President of Advancement Nicole Farrell ’98 Beasley. “He always wanted to know what he could do for you. He was the ultimate giver.

We encourage everyone to live like Chris – to love others boldly, to stand up for what’s right, to live every day to the fullest.”

Reverend William Munshower ‘50 Reverend William Munshower passed away on April 14, 2020. Father Munshower served as Cathedral High School’s Chaplain from 2006 until 2015. He officiated the weddings of countless Cathedral graduates and baptized hundreds of children in our Cathedral family.

“Father Munshower knew everyone on the eastside of Indianapolis,” says Campus Minister Charlene Witka. “He had a servant’s heart and was there for everybody and tried to take care of them. He was a strong advocate for social justice. He loved the city and loved serving his parishioners in all of the parishes he served.”

Dave Worland, Senior Vice President for Mission and Advancement, also knew Father well. “Father Munshower loved his Catholic faith, serving his parishioners at the various parishes he served, being a graduate of Cathedral, and coming back to be our Chaplain for several years until his retirement,” says Dave. “He had an awesome memory about each family and the heritage of our students’ ancestors who were part of the Archdiocese of Indianapolis. He will be greatly missed.”

Father Munshower was born on February 23, 1932, and graduated from Cathedral High School in 1950. He was ordained into the priesthood on May 3, 1958. His first assignment was Assistant Pastor at St. Paul in Tell City.

Before retiring in 2015, he served several parishes in Indiana.

Brother Joseph Zutelis Former Cathedral Educator

It is with great sadness that we must share the passing of former Cathedral Educator Brother Joseph Zutelis, CSC. Below are sentiments shared by a few of Brother Joseph’s students followed by his obituary: “Brother Zutelis was the intellectual “ Jewel in the Crown” at Cathedral while he was a primary consultant with Educational Testing Services at Princeton and a great teacher, always so humble and so approachable.” - Steve Pepe ‘61 “Bro. Joseph was a major infl uence in my pursuit of creative writing. I was always impressed by his ability to hold the class in rapt attention because of his subject matter expertise and his ability to generate appreciation for the writing we studied.” - Bill Forresander ‘61 “There was no other teacher in high school or in college who caused one to give his utmost at all times. He was in a class all by himself. He infl uenced my life in a positive way forever.” - Walt Sahm ‘61 “The best English teacher of all times. May he RIP.” - Joe Smith ‘59 In your charity, please pray for the repose of Brother Joseph Edward Zutelis, the oldest member of the Moreau Province of the Congregation of Holy Cross, who died on May 21, 2020 at the age of 98, in his 70th year of vowed life in the Congregation.
