pius welcome
small collection of lines from the preface at Mass, which is right before the Eucharistic prayer (the word Eucharist means thanksgiving), have been a meditation of mine for about two years now:
Priest: Lift up your hearts. All: We lift them up to the Lord. Priest: Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. All: It is right and just. Priest: It is truly right and just, our duty and our salvation, always and everywhere to give you thanks and praise, O God, Almighty Father, for all you do in this world through Jesus Christ… Give thanks to the Lord our God. Always? And everywhere? Not only our duty, but our salvation? These are challenging words, so I look to the Saints: “The Saints were not superhuman. They were people who loved God in their hearts, and who shared this joy with others. To be saints is not a privilege for the few, but a vocation for everyone” - Pope Francis. I am happy to “share my joy with others” in this issue, as I reflect on some of the things for which I give thanks. I give thanks to God for the gift of faith, courage and forgiveness that I am so blessed to witness in our students, staff and families daily. On October 7, 2013, a violent incident took place at Pius X High Fr. Jim Meysenburg School. The victim, Ellen Kopetzky, and her beautiful family immediately offered their prayers for the Superintendent attacker and her family…that Sarah would receive the forgiveness and help that she needs. Our staff and students responded so appropriately, even though it was a difficult time. One of our teachers reported on her students’ response during the Code Red: “My students were amazing! Before I could even blink, they quickly and quietly squashed into the corner farthest away from the door and then sat to be out of view of the outside window. Once it became apparent that it was not a drill we began praying the Rosary. During the fourth mystery, the announcement came for teachers to check our email. After I relayed the message to students, I sat there for a few minutes thinking. Then, one student said, ‘Well, are we going to keep praying?’ The return to prayer was student initiated. I was proud of him and others who so prayerfully said the Rosary. Other proud moments: One male student said, ‘Maestra, I’m the biggest. Don’t you think I should be the one sitting by the door in case we need to fight?’ So he sat out of sight by the door. Another student said, ‘Maestra, I went to confession on Friday, so I could go out first.’ Students were so supportive of one another. We have the coolest and most awesome students here at Pius X. I was especially amazed and proud of our students as they expressed equal concern for Sarah.” I give thanks to God for the gift of generosity, compassion and concern that I see in our students, staff and families daily. Before Halloween, we had students trick-or-treating in the Pius X neighborhood. They were knocking on doors not for candy, but for non-perishable food for Catholic Social Services and the Lincoln Food Pantry. The Pius X student council and sponsors spent many hours soliciting pounds of food and raising awareness of the great need in Lincoln. Our faculty and staff spent the morning before Thanksgiving packaging hundreds of meals for those devastated by the storms in the Philippines. Not only did the faculty and staff give their time and energy in helping “Kids Against Hunger,” but those who had the means also donated $62 per volunteer to pay for the ingredients. I give thanks to God for the gift of the desire to grow in holiness that I see in our students, staff and families daily. On probably the coldest weekend in November, 159 students and 40+ chaperones, priests, and seminarians encountered the Lord in a special way at the school-sponsored fall retreat. Powerfully, many of the students said that the Holy Hour in front of the Blessed Sacrament was the best part of the retreat. On the same weekend, we had some students attending the National Catholic Youth Conference in Indianapolis, and many of our alumni were on a KOINONIA retreat at the Newman Center. I give thanks to God for the gift of the work ethic, teamwork and pursuit of excellence that I see in students, staff and families daily. Our fall activities have been wonderful and our sports teams have done well. The fall play, vocal concert, and marching band competitions were all done with great success this fall. Our boys tennis and girls cross country teams were both crowned with state championships and our girls golf, boys cross country and girls volleyball teams all earned their way to the state competition. Now, the winter activities are gearing up. They strive to use their talents and gifts to glorify God. I give thanks to God for the openness to vocations of service to God that I see in students, staff and families daily. I witness so many wonderful students, parents, teachers, staff members, and administrators who exemplify that holiness comes through our vocations…however the Lord may call us, whatever talents we may have. The Pius X family response to the call to Sainthood is in part the reason Pius X has 19 alumni in the seminary and four women alumnae in religious formation. Always and everywhere may we recognize how blessed we are…and give thanks. As we begin this wonderful season of Advent/Christmas, may we always be reminded that God came and still comes to us in unexpected ways. May we be grateful for his loving presence! Thank you for generously supporting Pius X through your prayers and works. May you know the love and healing of our Savior in a very special way during the Advent and Christmas Seasons. Let us continue to pray for one another!
HARVESTING the Vineyard

Pius X Alumni Living Out Their Faith, Evangelizing Others through Lay Ministries Then He said to his disciples, “The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest.”
-Mt. 9:37-38
The Diocese of Lincoln is a leader in turning out priestly and religious vocations, many of whom are alumni of Pius X High School. At the same time, numerous young men and women in our diocese, including many Pius X alumni, are spreading the Catholic faith by serving as lay ministers and missionaries all over the country and the world. “He’s using me to accomplish His plan.” During his papacy, Blessed John Paul II called for a “new evangelization” of fallenaway Christians. An outgrowth of this movement is FOCUS (The Fellowship of
4
U piusx.net
Catholic University Students), an organization that aims to answer John Paul II’s call on college campuses through direct outreach. Statistics show that only 15% of Catholics aged 18-25 attend church on a weekly basis. The aim of FOCUS missionaries is to live out the new evangelization among this critical age demographic. Pius X is aware of seven alumni who are currently serving or will be serving as a FOCUS missionary: Logan Burda ’04, University of Nebraska-Lincoln; Kelby ’08 and Maeghan (Spethman) Meyers ’08, University of Illinois; Zach McDermott ’06, University of Kansas; Mikayla Wagner ’09, University of Southern California; and John Wojtasek ’08, University of California, Berkeley. Caitlin Marmie ’09 will begin as a FOCUS missionary in January 2014. “My experience at Pius gave me an initial foundation for knowing and loving my Catholic faith,” Wagner says. “My classes on morality and Theology of the
Body gave me an initial love for the truth of the Catholic faith that then was built upon by my experience at the Newman Center [at the University of Nebraska – Lincoln]. Through getting involved in the Newman community and especially through my contact with a FOCUS missionary, I was led to a deeper experience of my faith as a relationship with a person, Jesus Christ.” Wagner is in her first year as a missionary at USC, and begins each day with a holy hour. “Without Jesus we can do nothing and we can’t give what we don’t have,” she reflects. “Also, we recognize that this is His work and so it is fitting to ask for guidance and the gift of the Holy Spirit first thing in the morning.” The rest of her day is spent meeting with students doing mentorship and teaching them prayer and practical skills for evangelization, planning and leading Bible study, attending events, or spending time on campus with the intention of meeting new students.
“One of the best parts of our job is that we get to do all the things we love because that’s one of the best ways to meet students,” Wagner explains, noting that she had met one of the young women she has reached out to at a practice for the Ultimate Frisbee club team. “During the first practice, the girl I warmed up with was asking what year I was, which led to the explanation that I’m actually not a student, I’m a Catholic missionary. She replied, ‘I’m Catholic, but I’m really bad. I don’t really go [to church].’” After two practices, Wagner invited her to attend Mass with her. “She ended up hanging out with our team for several hours that night,” she says. “Now, we have a plan to work out together every Friday, and I can’t wait for an opportunity to share the Gospel more directly with her and invite her into our Bible study. FOCUS has been that particular way that Jesus has chosen to use me to share the Gospel message and to become His disciple.” “God can work through me to reach so many kids.” The path that led Tyler Cronin ’06 to answering the call to his current role as youth minister at St. Joseph Church in Lincoln was not a simple path, but nonetheless was filled with God’s grace and a strong desire to serve His church. After graduating from Pius X, he studied at Benedictine College for a year before entering the seminary. “I heard God calling me to do something radical for Him, so I went to the seminary to see if God was calling me to be one of His priests.” After prayer and discernment, he came to the decision that he was called to serve in another capacity. He says of his role as a youth minister: “I have been blessed to work with so many dynamic young people that I try to lead to Christ while they lead me to Christ as well. I have tried to follow the gentle, yet firm direction of the Holy Spirit and it has brought me all the joy in the world.” Evangelizing others to the faith has come naturally for Cronin, who not only serves St. Joseph students but also assists Pius X High School students in their faith formation at retreats and mission trips. “Everything began with my Catholic school education at St. John’s and at Pius X,” Cronin reflects. “Pius taught me the importance and value of my Catholic faith, and supported my parents to teach me within my home that the best and first thing that should always be on my mind is Christ.” Cronin says that there is never a typical day in the life of a youth minister. “There are several reasons for this, but mostly because I work with such a wide range of ages,” he says. “The days are filled with organizing, creating advertising, gathering

volunteers, planning, thinking ahead and trying to come up with new and exciting ideas for every program.” His favorite part of his role, however, is when he leaves the office behind to build relationships with young people of all ages. “I get to talk to them about my favorite topic: God and how He has worked in my life,” Cronin emphasizes. “I get to hear the joys of the students’ accomplishments and celebrate with them, and listen to those that are struggling and don’t know what to do and give them comfort and advice.” He adds: “I get the chance to serve some of the most wonderful people I have ever been blessed to get to know and I love it!” “We need to share the light of Christ with everyone.” This past summer, three Pius X graduates went on an extraordinary, faith-filled mission trip to the Ukraine. Zach Birkel, Lily Kennett and Brett Jamrog – all from the class of ’11 – signed up for the first ever FOCUS missionary trip to the Ukraine, where they went on a spiritual hike in the Carpathian Mountains and spent time visiting an orphanage in the city of Lviv. They shared the journey – and their faith – with Ukrainian, Catholic students who were about their same age. Each day, the group experienced Eastern-rite Divine Liturgy (Mass) and holy hours in historic churches and monasteries scattered along the trail. “The churches are so beautiful,” Jamrog recalls. “You walk in and feel a real spiritual presence.” At the orphange, the team’s main purpose was to interact with the children, even though they didn’t speak English. This did not prevent them from developing connections with the children. “A lot of them do not have a father figure,” Birkel reflects with compassion. “At the end there were some children calling me Dad.” The visit has inspired Kennett
to discern that someday she may adopt a child from the Ukraine or another foreign country. Jamrog reflects that the trip enabled him to see how his Catholic faith affects himself and others. “I want to make more of an impact to help others embrace their faith more,” he said. “I’ve never felt this joyful, peaceful and happy in my life.” Kennett adds: “Going all the way to the Ukraine taught me that I need to share the light of Christ with everyone.” “God is truly present and alive.” Maeghan and Kelby Meyers have begun their married vocation serving as FOCUS missionaries, a path that they may not have ever expected to take when they were in high school or even their early years of college. “As students at Pius, we both took our faith for granted,” Maeghan admits. “However, when we experienced our faith in a radical way, there were many tokens of wisdom and grace that we received during our time at Pius that laid the foundation for coming into a relationship with Jesus Christ.” Although both had significant career opportunities after graduating college, Maeghan and Kelby answered God’s call to be FOCUS missionaries. “With a world that is so confused as to what the ideals of marriage are, it is an honor and a great responsibility to be an example of a young marriage focused on Christian principles,” Maeghan reflects. “We strive to be an example to young people of what marriage can be when you put Christ at the center.” In her ministry, Meaghan has witnessed many conversions to Christ despite the difficulty of being a missionary on a secular campus. “God is truly present and alive,” she says. “Miracles happen every day in our lives when we ask Christ to work through us.”

Grant Focuses on Academic Success for All Students by Sophia Werning
Homebound student Nate Vercellino participates in his English II class using Scopia interactive software to attend class virtually. Purchase of the tablet and software was made possible by a grant focused on assisting students at Pius X who struggle to achieve academic success. Pictured left to Right: Eric Adame, P.J. O’Brien, Vivian Le, with Nate Vercellino on the iPad.
Thanks to a three-year grant received this past summer, Pius X High School in the 2013-14 school year has added significant resources to its existing program to assist students who are struggling academically and to increase success for all students. Two new positions and additional learning resources were added to build upon the school’s Acquiring and Building Learning Excellence (ABLE) program that is dedicated to assisting students at Pius X to thrive academically despite potential barriers to learning. Whether a student has been identified as a special needs learner, has a language barrier, experiences health or medical challenges, or has other circumstances affecting his or her school performance, the ABLE program has long been available at Pius X to help bridge the gap between students who struggle academically and their peers. Existing resources were being strained due to increasing enrollment at Pius X. Therefore, a strong need for additional staff and a coordinator position was identified. The grant - $50,000 per year for three

years - addressed this growing need by enabling the administration to hire a full-time Academic Success Coordinator, Raina Volkmer, and paraprofessional, Tam Dworak, to assist the two existing instructors in the ABLE department, Laurie Barnes and Claire Babl. Additional technology and professional development opportunities for faculty school-wide also have been made possible by the grant funding. The ABLE program is designed to help students who struggle to better manage their course load, stay organized, prepare better for tests, and improve their study skills. Students are given weekly minilessons which they can apply to their other classes. Because some high school students can get easily overwhelmed, ABLE provides intensive, direct teaching on how to keep track of their course work to mitigate that problem. Volkmer’s newly created position goes beyond assisting students in her ABLE classes. As Academic Success Coordinator, her role is to help “bridge the gap” for students at Pius X who are not part of the
ABLE program, but who are nevertheless struggling academically. “The last thing we want is to have students slip through the cracks just because they have not been targeted as having special learning needs,” Volkmer explains. In her newly added role, teachers and guidance counselors can approach her with concerns about their students, whether it’s academic, language, social/ emotional, or other factors that contribute to their struggles. “Those students need support, and so do their teachers,” she says. “I keep that line of communication open and offer ways of providing assistance and strategies on how to work with each individual student.” When intervention is warranted, Volkmer meets with the student to come up with strategies for success, builds a relationship with that student, and keeps track of how he or she is doing. In addition, Volkmer provides in-service training to faculty school-wide so they may better assist students of all learning levels in the classroom. Some of these strategies include how to implement differentiated
academic success
Yearbook Receives National Honor The 2013 Pius X High School yearbook has been inducted into Walsworth Yearbooks’ Gallery of Excellence. It is now among the small percentage of yearbooks printed by the Missouri-based Walsworth Publishing Company that are selected for the gallery. As part of the honor, the Pius X yearbook will be shared with many people and used by the company’s nationwide sales force as a great example and loaned to schools across the country. Yearbooks are also displayed at 12-13 Yearbook Staff regional, state and national conventions and workshops. In addition, covers, spreads and images from many of these yearbooks are used for example illustrations in the company’s educational materials and idea book. The yearbook produced by the 2012-13 student staff, and their sponsor, English teacher Sandra Sullivan, was one of three chosen for this distinction out of 45 submissions in the region. “The 2012-13 yearbook staff worked and reworked their design and book cover many times to achieve a look for the cover layouts for the outcome they were happy with,” Sullivan notes. “I am thrilled they were honored for their work.” “The selection of your yearbook as a Gallery book recognizes your staff’s dedication to producing a high-quality publication by creating a book that will be treasured by your school community forever,” says company President Don Walsworth upon presenting the award. “I hope you and your staff are proud of your accomplishments and will fondly remember the time you spent producing this yearbook.”
instruction, tiered lesson planning and active learning strategies. “Differentiated instruction is about being aware of not just what you are teaching, but how you are going to tier your lesson plans in order to reach as many students as possible,” Volkmer explains. “The goal and objective of the lesson plan doesn’t change; it is still based on the state standard. Rather, it’s setting the right expectation for the student by differentiating one’s approach to teaching the material.” One such in-service provided to faculty recently, for example, involved a technique called an “enhanced lecture” that can help improve student engagement and comprehension of the materials by actively involving them in the understanding of the content. Volkmer also added a link to the online teacher’s lounge so educators can have easy access to resources that can help them apply their own interventions to assist students who are struggling. Further, as a result of the grant, another program being implemented at Pius X is “Circle of Friends”, which is designed to promote positive peer-to-peer friendships and mentoring. The program seeks to build positive student relationships and adds an additional layer of encouragement and support for students who struggle by connecting them with other students at Pius X who are motivational and who excel academically. Volkmer explains that this and other

programs made possible by the grant will continue to grow and evolve as she and the administration assess the effectiveness of the various interventions in the months ahead. “The administration at Pius X is very dedicated and motivated to look at the big picture and do the absolute best for students with the resources we have,” she notes. In her role, Volkmer meets routinely with administrators to assess programs and processes in place, determine what is going well, and address what can be done to improve the teaching and learning environment at Pius X. “It always goes back to the students,” Volkmer emphasizes. “It’s a team effort because everyone has a role to play.” She adds that her aim is to efficiently use resources to meet as many needs as they can through improved communication, sharing of ideas and implementation of best practices at Pius X. “The goal is to
bridge all of the gaps that might be there, anticipating them, and then put each student on a path to success.” In addition to Volkmer’s position, the hiring of a full-time paraprofessional to work with students has come as a relief to the ABLE instructors who had struggled in recent years to meet the growing number of students who were in need of one-on-one attention. “The addition of Tam Dworak to the ABLE program this year has made a world of difference,” Barnes says. “Our students who struggle are benefitting so much more by having another teacher in the room. After each of the three periods that Tam is with me each day, I feel very good about what got accomplished.” Barnes adds: “I cannot be more grateful for the additional help that our students are getting because of the new position made possible by this grant.”

Seeds of Faith
Landscaping Club Cultivating Generations of Gardeners by Sophia Werning
The Pius X High School Landscaping Club was established in 2006 when a student approached Mrs. Georgia Miller, secretary of 24 years and now Landscaping Club sponsor, and asked, “What about that courtyard?” This question led to the formation of Landscaping Club, whose original purpose was to completely renovate the central courtyard. After this monumental project was completed, the Landscaping Club established its mission: “To promote, encourage, foster and cultivate interest in garden floriculture; to encourage community beautification; and to assist in projects to benefit the exterior of Pius X High School.” Each year, students in all grades are encouraged to join this enthusiastic group of nature-loving gardeners who derive a great deal of satisfaction from helping to beautify their school, both indoors and out. For the past several years, the thriving club has completed numerous projects throughout the school and the greater community through philanthropic projects undertaken by its students and sponsors. Thanks to many years of support from the Estate of Glenn E. Miller Trust, the club’s main benefac-

tor, and two recent grants received from the Lincoln Parks Foundation, students have planted numerous trees, plants and flowers throughout the school campus. Funding from the Miller Trust enabled the club to completely renovate the front of the Pius X performing arts center and the courtyard outside of the office of the superintendent. Students also have used the funds to replant the bushes in front of school, replace rose bushes by the commons, create a wildflower garden, and renovate the horseshoe space by the flagpole. The Landscaping Club is also financially sustained through fundraising projects that take place year-round, such as the making and selling of decorative door signs, memorial bricks sales which are placed in the courtyard, and floral sales during Valentine’s Day. Students also learn to design corsages and boutonnieres that are sold at a discounted rate for school dances and proms. Recent projects include the addition of two large floral pots adorning the main entry of the school that are decoratively transformed to match the change of seasons, and a Resurrection Garden to serve as a memorial for deceased alumni.
A larger Landscaping Club project undertaken recently, thanks to a gift from the Miller Trust, is the construction of an outdoor classroom learning center at St. John Catholic Grade School. Students, St. John parishioners, members of the public, along with Pius X students in shop and drafting classes are all collaborating to create the outdoor learning center that will include a butterfly garden, waterfall and pond, a bridge, and raised planting beds for students to plant and stage a quiet place for meditation. This project is set for completion in time for the spring 2014 planting season. By becoming a friend of the Pius X Landscaping Club, you can support these and future endeavors by purchasing memorial bricks for the courtyard (for a $100 gift) and by purchasing one or more decorative door signs created by the members of the club ($25). “The quality of landscaping done by our students is of such high caliber that they were recognized by being selected to be on the Lincoln Garden Tour in 2011, and have been hired by businesses to do work in the horticulture field,” Miller says of her talented club members. “I’m very proud of these students.”

After a first year of tremendous success and accolades for Pius X’s literary website WordStruck.net, U.S. Bank Nebraska Foundation has awarded the program a $5,000 grant. WordStruck.net is providing students with an innovative, exciting new way to engage in literacy. The website is one of the only online cooperative ventures of its kind at the high school or collegiate level in the nation. Whether it is creating lyrics to music, writing poetry and essays, or through editing and videography, there is no limit on the ways WordStruck.net can help
students engage in literacy and achieve the fulfillment of having their own work widely viewed. Submissions are taken throughout the school year and the “Best of the Best” are honored. WordStruck.net received more than 6,500 hits last year on the 54 published pieces. The U.S. Bank Nebraska Foundation grant will allow for an expansion of this outstanding literacy program at Pius X. “I am very grateful for the support of U.S. Bank Nebraska Foundation but it extends beyond appreciation for their financial gift,” says Senior Writing teacher

Scholarship Established in Memory of Fr. Mark Tasler The Pius X Foundation is honored to be the beneficiary of a $10,000 endowed scholarship established by the Estate of Glenn and Anne Miller, Jason and Cindy Miller, and Matt and Joan Tasler in memory of Father Mark Tasler, who passed away in a car accident on April 6, 2010. The Fr. Mark Tasler Memorial Scholarship will be distributed annually to a Pius X student(s) with financial need. Fr. Tasler was born in Lake City, Iowa in 1954. He attended high school in Lohrville, Iowa. After graduation, Fr. Tasler worked for Frontier Airlines for a number of years before entering the seminary. He received his degree in the humanities at Mt. St. Mary’s in Emmitsburg, Md. He also held master degrees in theology and divinity. Fr. Tasler was ordained a priest on May 26, 1990 by Bishop Flavin. He served as assistant pastor at Blessed Sacrament and St. Patrick parishes in Lincoln and the St. Thomas Aquinas Newman Center on the University of Nebraska – Lincoln campus. While assistant pastor of these parishes, he also taught at Pius X High School. During his time at the Newman Center, he served as Assistant Director of Vocations for the diocese.
In 1994, Fr. Tasler was appointed pastor of Presentation Parish in rural Bellwood (Marietta) and taught at Aquinas Catholic Schools in David City. Two years later, he was appointed pastor of St. Benedict Parish and principal of Lourdes Catholic Schools in Nebraska City. In 2006, he was appointed pastor of St. Joseph Parish in York and superintendent of the parish grade school, where he served until his death. The Fr. Tasler Memorial Scholarship has been established to honor the great importance that our Catholic schools had in Fr. Tasler’s heart. Throughout his entire 20 years of priest-

hood, Fr. Tasler was working in some capacity in the diocese’s Catholic school system, as teacher, principal and superintendent. He had a great rapport with his students and cared deeply about each one. Fr. Tasler’s family continues to hear stories from his former students, many of them from Pius X, about the lasting and positive impact that Father had in their lives. In a 2006 interview, Fr. Tasler said: “I want to be an instrument to help people grow closer to God.” If you would like donate to this scholarship or another existing scholarship, or establish a new endowed scholarship or endowed fund, please contact Michelle Birkel at the Pius X Foundation at 402.488.1046.

2013-2014 Fund for Pius X (formerly annual fund/annual appeal)
Thank you to all of the alumni, parents, businesses and friends of Pius X that have so generously supported the 2013-2014 Fund for Pius X. You have blessed us with a successful start to our annual campaign. The Fund for Pius X is vital to building our school’s endowment and to keeping tuition affordable for every student and their family. Pius X is so blessed to have one of the most affordable tuition rates in the nation ($1,500 vs. $9,600 nationally for freshman tuition). This is made possible only through ongoing and generous support of our local parishes, the Fund for Pius X, our annual gala - BOLT, the Booster Club, and other fund raising efforts. This year’s goal for the Fund for Pius X is to raise $450,000! This is a hefty goal, but to date, we have received $406,000 in pledges and collected more than $257,000. The gifts received thus far brings us to 57% of our goal. Your support ensures that our school remains financially strong and that a Catholic education is available for generations to come. Thank you. If you have not yet given to the Fund for Pius X, please consider making a gift. Your gift, in any amount, impacts every young man and woman in our classrooms and ensures that Pius X remains a very special place of learning and faith formation. You can donate by using the envelope included in this issue of Pius Connections or you can donate, safely and securely, online at www.piusx.net/ foundation - simply click Donate Now.

Former Pius X Superintendent Honored For Service by Sophia Werning
Msgr. Liam Barr was presented the 2013 Distinguished Stewardship award. Msgr. Barr served as the superintendent at Pius X High School from 1981-1994 overseeing many improvements and leading two capital campaigns.
On August 4, 2013, approximately 150 benefactors and special guests gathered at Pius X High School to celebrate friendships and honor the generous support of all who share a deep commitment to Catholic education. The annual Friends of Pius X appreciation reception also featured the presentation of a special award for exemplary leadership, service and achievement. Monsignor Liam Barr, pastor of St. Joseph Catholic Church and longtime leader and benefactor of Pius X, accepted the 2013 Distinguished Stewardship Award. Msgr. Barr was born and raised in Ballina, County Mayo, Ireland. He first attended the seminary at St. Patrick’s College in Maynooth, Ireland. He then left Ireland and attended the Pontifical Irish College in Rome, where he earned Bachelor’s degrees in both Theology and Philosophy. During this time, he was also
able to continue his love of theatre by acting in and directing several plays at the Pontifical Irish College. Barr then moved to the United States and continued his education at the Pontifical College Josephinum in Columbus, Ohio, where he earned his Master’s Degree in Theology. In 1974, he was ordained to the priesthood at St. George’s Cathedral in London, England, and in 2007 was honored with the title of Monsignor. Over the past 39 years, he has served the Catholic Church in many capacities. He was the superintendent of the Lourdes Catholic Schools in Nebraska City from 1977 through 1981 and then served as the Superintendent of Pius X High School in Lincoln for 13 years (1981-1994). While acting as Superintendent of Pius X, Monsignor also taught each year and developed a curriculum for seniors in social justice. He was appointed Pastor of St. Joseph Church in 2003,

where he presently serves. Additionally, he is currently Director of Stewardship and Development for the Diocese of Lincoln. Barr has been involved in leading capital campaign and endowment drives within the Diocese. Over a period of 30 years, these efforts have raised in excess of $40 million. He also worked closely with Bishop Bruskewitz in establishing the Catholic Foundation of the Diocese of Lincoln, and then served as its first Executive Director. He also served as the Executive Director of the Progress for People, LLC, a corporation established for the purpose of building low income housing for families with children, called Paul VI Heights. In total, 28 three-bedroom units were built and subsequently dedicated on November 30, 1997. He also served as Director of Development at the Ava Maria School of Law in Ann Arbor, Mich., from 2000 through 2003. During his remarks, Barr reflected about the importance of stewardship, sharing with attendees a prayer that denotes the impact of giving of one’s time, talent and treasure to future generations. “We plant the seeds that one day will grow. We water seeds already planted, knowing that they hold future promise,” he said. “We lay foundations that will need further development. It may be incomplete, but it is a beginning, a step along the way, an opportunity for the Lord’s grace to enter and do the rest.” Barr added: “We may never see the end results, but that is the difference between the master builder and the worker. We are prophets of a future not our own.”

Matt Grosserode Memorial Scholarship Thomas Crawford, Pius X senior, was awarded the 2013 Matt Grosserode Memorial Scholarship. The scholarship was founded in 2005 by the late John Grosserode ’78 and his wife Joann ’78 in memory of their son Matt, a 2000 graduate of Pius X High School, who passed away in a car accident in 2003. The $500 scholarship is awarded each year to a senior football player who is faithful to God, loving to family and loyal to friends, just as Matt was. Applicants are asked to write a brief essay relating how their faith and experience as a Pius student athlete has helped shape their future. When the scholarship award was announced by Joann, a visibly moved Crawford was presented with a certificate to keep, and also was shown the plaque denoting all the past recipients of the memorial scholarship. Also on hand to assist with the presentation were Matt’s brother, Patrick “P.J.” Grosserode and P.J.’s son Cooper. Crawford is the 11th recipient listed on the memorial plaque that permanently resides in the Pius X press box. Recipients are not aware that they have been selected prior to the announcement at Fall Kickoff. “I looked down at all of those names, and felt so incredibly honored and blessed to be a part of that,” Crawford reflects. “I am so grateful to the family for having this endowed scholarship.” “My late husband John and I believed strongly in Catholic education and always knew how blessed we have been to have our 5 children attend Pius,” Grosserode said prior to announcing the name of the scholarship recipient.

Grants Received for Technology Upgrades for New Chemistry Labs by Sophia Werning
Sophomore students Austin Verkamp and Sahra Buzi work on an experiment in the new chemistry lab.
Pius X High School is only a few steps away from realizing its long awaited goal of renovating and upgrading the school’s chemistry lab facilities, thanks to two generous grants recently awarded by The Dillon Foundation and the May Flanagan Foundation. The funds awarded by the organizations will go toward modernization of Pius X’s two chemistry labs through new computer equipment and technological devices designed for 21st century learning. The grants awarded – $30,000 from the Dillon Foundation and $10,000 from the May Flanagan Foundation – will go a long way toward purchasing the new equipment for the lab, including iPads, chemistry lab software, digital probes and other measuring devices, and much more. As longtime supporters of Pius X, both foundations donated very generously toward all three phases of the chemistry lab renovation project, thus demonstrating their strong commitment to seeing the project through to completion. In the summer of 2011, Pius X High School initiated a 3-phase plan to renovate its two aging Chemistry labs due to new curriculum changes by the state of Nebraska requiring all high school students complete three years of science. The labs at the school had not been modernized since the school opened its doors in 1956. Construction on the Chemistry
labs was completed in the summers of 2012 and 2013 thanks to previous grants from both the Dillon Foundation and May Flanagan Foundation, donations and matching funds received through Give To Lincoln Day, and many other donors. The goal of this project is to move Pius X students into a 21st century learning
environment through the use of technology similar to that used by modern high school and college chemistry labs. Educators point out numerous factors that explain the benefits and impacts of using technology in the classroom across all curricula, including increased students participation and engagement in learning through “showing” rather than “telling”. Further, because technology is abundant in college and in the modern workplace, exposure at the high school level greatly increases college readiness and technical skills in the future. In particular, during science experimentation, digital measuring devices allow students to more speedily gather information and thus move more quickly toward observation, analysis and critical thinking. “I’m very excited for the enhanced learning opportunities our chemistry students will have due to the new technology provided by the generous grants from the Dillon and May Flanagan foundations,” Pius X Science Department Chair Sharolyn Schneider says. “Many schools and colleges have been using this type of science technology for years, and now we here at Pius X will be able to better prepare our students for their university lab situations, and to help them be equally competitive.”

Mass Honors Deceased Alumni and Loved Ones
On Wed., Nov. 6th, Pius X High School honored all deceased alumni during an all-school Mass. Students, faculty and staff welcomed more than 70 special guests whose deceased loved ones are members of the Pius X family, some of which have established an endowed scholarship or fund at Pius X in memory of their family members. Before Mass, a slide show including the yearbook photo, name, class year, and date of death of our deceased Pius X students or alumni was shown. During Mass, guests brought forward a long stemmed red rose with a message attached honoring their loved one. The roses were presented to Father Sughroue, and handed to Father Meysenburg who arranged them in vases in front of the alter. These were later displayed in the Pius X chapel for prayer intentions. We especially thank John Love ’87 with Butherus, Maser and Love Funeral Home and Stem Gallery for providing the long stemmed flowers. Following Mass, guests were invited to a reception in the Commons area. The Mass celebrant was Fr. Adam Sughroue of St. John’s parish with eight other priests concelebrating including Superintendent Fr. James Meysenburg, Fr. Leo Seiker ’82, Fr. Nicholas Kipper ’98, and Former Superintendent Msgr. James Dawson who spoke briefly to the students and the guests. Pictured above, left to right: Chuck Clifford ’73 and his wife Connie, honoring his sister, Julianne Clifford Taylor ’77.

Seminarian or “Rock Star”?
Vocations Corner
by Sophia Werning
True to his trademark style of humility and wit, Pius X alumnus Chris Stoley ’07, describes himself as someone who was “tolerated by all and liked by many” during his days roaming the halls of Pius X. Today, Stoley, son of Mark and Margy Stoley of St. Teresa parish and brother of Derek ’12 and Alex ’17, is a Theology 3 student in priestly formation at St. Charles Borromeo Seminary in Philadelphia, Penn. He is currently in final preparation for ordination as a Deacon on May 23, 2014. Among Stoley’s fondest memories at Pius X were the friendships formed during his short time participating in theater. “I was a Nazi in No Fading Star during my junior year, and that opened a lot of opportunities to make new friends and get acquainted with a broad range of people with whom I normally wouldn’t have hung out,” Stoley recollects. Throughout high school, Stoley also enjoyed a core group of friends who were there for him through thick and thin. “We had fun together, we got in trouble together, and we got out of trouble together,” he reflects. “We were a tight-knit unit, almost like a family.” Stoley has not forgotten the support he received from his friends when he announced he was planning to enter the seminary. “They were more excited than I,” he recalls of his decision to study for the priesthood. “When I told them I was going to the seminary, they all laughed.” Stoley’s friends may have laughed because they were used to his unflinching sense of humor that still exists to this day. “At Pius, I was the guy who would put an elastic book-cover on my face and run around the building bothering people,” he says. “I was the guy who hid under the stairs in the 150 hallway and scared unsuspecting climbers before class. I was the clown and trouble-maker.” All the while, it was during these laughter-filled days as a Pius X student that Stoley pursued the serious process of discerning his vocation. “I am blessed to have had as great an experience as I did at Pius, and without it, I would never have heard my vocation,” he explains. Two significant experiences greatly impacted Stoley spiritually while on retreat during his junior year. “I had been wrestling with the idea of the seminary for quite some time. I had dated a couple girls and I was not sure what to do,” he

recalls. “During Adoration, I could tell Christ was trying to tell me something, but I just couldn’t decipher the enigma. The more I asked Him what I should do, the less I heard. Finally, the words, ‘Go to confession’ rang out loud and clear.” It was upon receiving this sacrament that Stoley shared his thoughts with a priest who he found out later was the late Fr. Mark Tasler (see article on page 11). “At the end of it, he asked me what I wanted to do with my life and I said I was thinking about the seminary. He said, ‘Really? That is interesting because I feel a very strong calling for you to the priesthood.’ I was reeling as I left and went back into Adoration, and thought, ‘You win, God. What do I need to do?’” Other influences on his discernment process occurred during his senior year, including a class on vocations taught by Fr. Leo Kosch during which he learned the breviary, and a social justice class taught by Fr. Jay Buhman. “I was set on the seminary, but I had no idea what to do to make it happen,” he recalls. “Fr. Buhman, who was the assistant vocations director at the time,
was always around to offer encouragement and help when I needed it.” After several meetings with him and Fr. Robert Matya, he entered St. Gregory the Great Seminary. As is the case for many young men who enter the seminary, Stoley has had many experiences that he had not expected. “The most surprising aspect of being in the seminary is the vast amount of people that know about us,” he reflects. “Kids think we’re rock stars, other dioceses think we live in Utopia, and families want us for sons. The support we receive from the faithful is incredible.” Stoley expresses deep, heart-felt appreciation for all of the caring support and prayers he and other seminarians receive from their greater Catholic family. “The most gratifying part of being in the seminary is being able to serve them back by teaching their kids, helping at camps, ministering the Eucharist to the sick, serving at Mass, and offering counsel and comfort to the suffering and lost,” he reflects. “It is amazing to see God working through my words and actions to draw them closer to Himself.”
