A Message from President Scudder Dear SHC Community,
sacred heart cathedral preparatory Excellence in Catholic Education since 1852 Enter to Learn; Leave to Serve Inspired by the Daughters of Charity and the De La Salle Christian Brothers, in partnership with families, Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory’s mission is to provide the finest education in an
This fall marks the 25th anniversary of the merger of Sacred Heart High School and Cathedral High School. At the time of the merger, I was teaching civics and carried a very narrow view of the historical significance of what was being accomplished through the merging of these two long-standing institutions. As a teacher, my primary focus was on the school culture and tradition and not on the more powerful merger of our Vincentian and Lasallian charisms that would become the animating force of the newly formed Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory. The two charisms, anchored in 17th-century French spirituality, could not have found more compatible partners to support their common vision of sharing God’s unconditional love for all, especially the poor. When St. Vincent de Paul and St. Louise de Marillac both died in 1660, St. John Baptist de La Salle was just 9 years old. But when you read the writings of our Founders, there is no doubt that de La Salle was influenced by the words and work of de Paul and de Marillac. All three saints clearly saw the terrible injustices that were forced upon the people of France, and the hypocrisy that existed in the way the Church was responding to the plight of the people. Our Founders wanted to provide a practical response that was rooted in the example set by Christ. Today this would seem obvious, but at the time it was quite extraordinary. I believe it was this practical and simple response, rooted in the Gospel, that fueled the worldwide expansion of both the Vincentian and Lasallian charisms. Today the Daughters and Brothers, along with their lay colleagues, are sponsoring hospitals and schools in more than 80 countries, serving millions of families. What does this mean for the young people of Sacred Heart Cathedral? It means that during their time at SHC they will form a community that is based on inclusivity rather than exclusivity. They will be part of a community that is tuned in to those who are hurting and in need of extra love and support. They will live within a community of learners who treat others the way they themselves expect to be treated. It is a community that at times shows its human frailties, but understands the importance of redemption and forgiveness. Not a bad way to live your high school years—or, for that matter, the rest of your life.
inclusive Catholic community of faith. We prepare our students to become
Sincerely,
service-oriented leaders with a commitment to living the Gospel.

Representing the Class of 2012 are valedictorian, Calvin Yau, and salutatorian, Kim Wong. Calvin Yau “SHC has taught us so much more than academic fundamentals. The teachers at this school have dedicated themselves to not only preparing us academically but also for upcoming life challenges and experiences. They have instilled within us a curiosity that is insatiable and a passion that is everlasting. We have been taught to follow our convictions and to act upon them intelligently and justly. We have been told to dream; but above all, to do all within our power to reach our potentials.”
Kim Wong “We all have lenses. We see through our eyes, which are connected to our brains, our bodies and our hearts. In our Lasallian/ Vincentian community, we are guided by the teachings of de La Salle, Elizabeth Anne Seton, Vincent de Paul, and Louis de Marillac. We developed a lens that looks to our Founders, as they look after us. We are going to see and interact with the world and make a difference.”

Service
From the Classroom to the other side of the world
Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory is proud to serve students through the timeless vision of our Founders, St. John Baptist de La Salle, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, St. Vincent de Paul, and St. Louise de Marillac. Through the teachings of the De La Salle Christian Brothers and the Daughters of Charity, our students not only gain a deeper insight into the world, but also a 21st-century education that prepares them to use their knowledge on a global level through realworld experiences. From the Mediterranean to California, our students expand their talents and serve those in need. Second Century

“Now, I know that there is more to poverty than just economics,” says Marc Angel Nava ’09. “Yes, let us feed the hungry and help the less fortunate, but let us also not forget those others like the kids at CasArcobaleno, who are deprived of other important necessities in life: love, care and kindness. This is the work that the Christian Brothers do in Scampia, Italy, and I was really glad to be a part of it.” While other volunteers were serving the poor at food banks and medical centers, Nava, a history major at St. Mary’s College, was serving the internally poor. Through the Christian Service Mission, a Brother recommended that Nava continue his interest in service and work abroad. Having studied abroad in Rome, Nava felt comfortable enough with his Italian to serve with the De La Salle Brothers in Scampia, a poor suburb of Naples. With a population of 100,000 people within four square kilometers, Scampia’s unemployment is 75%. “I’ve worked in the classroom and at inner-city schools before, so I thought that my experience in Scampia would be somewhat similar,” explains Nava. What he didn’t expect, he says, was that Scampia wasn’t like any other “inner city” he had experienced before. Trash fills neighborhood streets that are lined with poorly constructed buildings. Tasteless graffiti covers walls, pavement, monuments and churches, and is inside school buildings and classrooms. In the middle of this depressing neighborhood, the De La Salle Brothers run a community center called CasArcobaleno (Rainbow

House), for teenagers (ages 14-19) who drop out of school, and, in collaboration with the Sisters of Providence, a center for kids. The Brothers reside above the house, and this is where Nava stayed for the month of January 2012. Side by side with Brother Enrico Muller, Nava served the teenagers of Scampia to keep them off the streets and in the classroom. The goal seemed simple enough: prepare the 15 students to pass their high school exam. The exam is taken in English and the students speak only Italian. Students have one year to take advantage of the program and pass the exam. The challenge was that these students had no interest in learning or working hard; they were disrespectful and rowdy. Over the course of the month, Nava began to learn more about each student’s personal experience and way of life. This understanding allowed him to take a more patient and understanding approach in his teaching method. The students slowly responded to him. “I believe that this experience helped me to realize that there is more to poverty than just not having money or being homeless. The students that I worked with weren’t financially poor, as they were poor internally, spiritually and emotionally. Not having their souls nourished deeply contributed to their disastrous behavior, their wild temperaments, their negativity, and lack of ambition to do anything or strive for success.” Although one month was just a taste of the service of the De La Brothers’ work in Scampia, Nava felt like he walked away with a tremendous amount of knowledge and understanding of how an environment can affect one’s soul.
“The Daughters of Charity formed who I am today,” says Religious Studies instructor, Georgina Severin ’98. Through her service in and out of the classroom, Severin hopes to dedicate her life to the mission of the Daughters. Severin first learned about the Daughters as a student at Sacred Heart Cathedral. “They were vibrant and caring, serious, straightforward, and they seemed so dedicated—things I very much admired and found inspirational,” recalls Severin. It was during this time when Severin witnessed poverty firsthand on a Venaver trip to Tijuana where she learned that faith in Christ required a loving response to the poor. Compelled by the Daughter’s clear mission to serve those who live on the margins, Severin felt the call to serve as a volunteer at a Daughters of Charity-sponsored elementary school in East LA called Our Lady of Talpa. Through the Vincentian Service Corps (VSC), Severin taught inner-city children and had the privilege to work alongside Daughters who nourished her love for the DOC mission. The desire to live the mission of the Daughters grew stronger and led Severin to make a pilgrimage. During her spring break, Severin went to the “home” and international headquarters of the Daughters, the Mother House in Rue du Bac, Paris. During this week, Severin experienced the Daughters of Charity on an international level. She learned that they were the first active order and are currently the largest community of women all over the world, representing
over 21,000 members in service. Severin believes that what calls the women to serve is the clear mission that the DOC stand by, which is to serve the poor. The time at the Mother House also brought Severin to visit the tombs of St. Vincent de Paul and St. Catherine Laboure. Severin remembers receiving the Laboure Award upon graduation from SHC. The award is presented annually to the female graduate most exemplifying charity and true Christian love by giving generously of herself and time to others. This pilgrimage confirmed Severin’s desire to live as the Daughters do. Even as a laywoman, she will find ways to be of service, faithful to God and to the spirit of the founders. Today, at SHC, Severin works to educate her students and work with fellow faculty to consider the poor, to recognize that each person lives with dignity and deserves respect. “As part of the Vincentian and LaSallian heritage we are called to align ourselves with those who live on the margins of society,” says Severin. Through faculty and staff retreats, Severin leads her community in great reflection and reminds her SHC family that prayer and service is in all of us. This summer, Severin will spend her time in service to the people of India. Through the International Immersion Program for Brother and Lasallian Partners, Severin will immerse herself in community with the Brothers while serving fellow Lasallians.

Irish Fightin’ Their Way to the Bigtime by Scott Bergen When Josh Fox ’12 and Taylor Johns ’12 signed their letters of intent to play NCAA Division I basketball at UC Riverside along with classmate Celeste Boureille ’12, who will play soccer at Cal, they joined a remarkably accomplished assemblage of young men and women who have gone on to compete in athletics after the final bell tolled in their days at Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory. Track and Field has graduated several great athletes of late, including Tammia Hubbard ’09, Jarrett Moore ’11, Tina Kefalas ’95 and Shannon Rowbury ’02. Hubbard is a hurdler at Ithaca College in New York and is known there as much for her considerable accomplishments on the track as she is for her service in the local community. Moore runs cross country at CCSF and will transfer to USF to compete in NCAA-DI next fall. Kefalas ran four years at USC before beginning her international career, and has qualified for the 2012 Olympic Games in London in the marathon and will compete for Greece. Rowbury graduated from Duke, made the finals for the United States in the 1500M in the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, and is a frontrunner to qualify again this year. Rowbury has three US National Championships under her belt and was the bronze medalist in the 1500M in the 2009 World Championships. Several Irish football players have gone on to succeed at the next level, highlighted by Jason Hill ’03, who will be catching passes from Peyton Manning next year for the Denver Broncos. Dasarte Yarnway ’09 was recently named starting fullback for Cal in the 2012-2013 season, and Kevin Greene ’09 will finish his career as a defensive end at USC while pursuing a master’s degree after earning his bachelor’s degree in just three-and-a-half years. Stefan Gartrell ’02 played baseball for USF before being drafted by the White Sox. Having won the 2011 AAA Minor League Home Run Derby, he went on to win the Atlanta Braves’ AAA team’s Player of the Year Award. Chris Petrini ’05 graduated from Cal and is playing in the Orioles’ organization, and Eric Herrera ’07 is currently the starting third baseman at Lynn College in Florida (NCAA-DI).

Winter Sports Round-Up The men’s basketball team went 28-6 en route to winning the CCS Division III and Northern California Division III titles. A chance at the team’s second state title in four years rolled off the rim with just seconds remaining and All-WCAL first-teamers Josh Fox ’12 and Taylor Johns ’12 have both since committed to playing Division I basketball at UC Riverside. The women’s team was 15-15 on the season in a highly competitive league, but caught fire in the postseason, putting together its longest win streak of the season in the playoffs. All-WCAL players Geanna Summers-Luaulu ’14, Briannah Smith ’13 and Jerrieza Enriquez ’13 led the team, and all will return in 2012-2013.

Your Endowed Fund: Today and/or Tomorrow Have you come to the conclusion, right or wrong, that establishing an endowment at SHC is out of your reach? Did you dismiss the idea because you think it will require more funds than you have available? If you answered yes to either question, read on because we believe we can show that an endowment is very much within your grasp.
The Basics An endowed fund’s principal is established by the initial gift, with a percentage of the interest earned distributed each year. The minimum requirement for a partially endowed scholarship fund at SHC is $25,000. If you think this amount is too big for you to consider, let us explain the options that make achieving this minimum so much easier.
Today You can set up your endowment during your lifetime. Why might you consider that? If you establish your endowment now, you will get the satisfaction of watching it work and grow. For example, if you were funding a scholarship, you might meet the student who benefited and learn why this scholarship mattered so much to that individual. Or, if you are providing funding for a specific program, you’ll have an opportunity to witness that program in action. Here are some ways to set up your endowment today:

SUMMER 2012
Cash Gifts: While this is the easiest way, putting
together enough cash to set up an endowment isn’t realistic for everyone. If you do have the cash available or receive an unanticipated windfall, funding your endowment with cash could be the way to go. If you prefer to start your endowment with cash but can’t fund the entire endowment now, SHC has a payment plan, enabling you to fund your endowment over a period of years. Appreciated, marketable securities: If you happen to be holding some highly appreciated, marketable securities whose yield is low, using them to fund your endowment would kill two birds with one stone. It would remove an underperforming asset from your portfolio and fund your endowment. The advantage of using securities is that your cash flow will not be affected and there won’t be any capital gains tax due on the transfer.
Tomorrow If today isn’t an ideal option for you, perhaps a future gift of an endowment might make sense. Here are some ways to do that. Create a bequest through your will or revocable living trust: This is the easiest, most
popular, and most common way to provide future support to SHC. If you are considering a bequest or have
supporting shc
already created one you can take it one step further by earmarking it for your endowment. If you are interested in doing so, please contact us in advance so we can accommodate your interest should you wish to restrict the purpose of your endowment, and so that you have our correct legal name, etc. Set up a trust: If you are considering a charitable
remainder trust or have already created one, you can take it one step further by earmarking it for your endowment. If you are not familiar with this type of estate-planning tool, we can provide an explanation of how this trust works. By definition, a charitable remainder trust must have a charitable organization (or organizations) as the ultimate beneficiary of the assets at the termination of
the trust. That means you can name SHC as a remainder beneficiary and earmark it for your endowment. Use insur ance: Another easy option is to make SHC the beneficiary of a life insurance policy that is no longer needed. On the beneficiary designation form (available from the plan administrator) you can determine the percentage you want to go to SHC to create an endowment.
Today and Tomorrow This is like picking one from column A and one from column B. You may want to jumpstart your endowment today and get it going now so you can watch it work and appreciate the value you’ve added to our mission. You can augment it tomorrow with a gift from your estate.
Planned Giving Corner Four Steps to Your First Will Regardless of age, overall health or marital status, everyone should have a will. Many people simply avoid thinking about a will, but the process is simple once you decide to take action.
Begin with the Basics Start by getting organized: Outline your objectives, determine the value of your property, inventory your major assets, estimate outstanding debts and prepare a list of family members and other beneficiaries to whom you want to pass assets. You’ll also want to ask yourself these two questions: How do I want to divide my assets among my family members, other loved ones and favorite causes? Do I need to make special provisions for any of my heirs?
Choose Guardians If you have minor children or an adult child, a parent or a spouse with special needs who is your dependent, you must think about who will care for them when you’re gone. Talk to your proposed guardian ahead of time about what you are asking, and understand that if you don’t name a guardian, the courts may end up doing it for you.
Choose an Executor Your executor undertakes many important responsibilities, like notifying interested parties of your death, paying creditors and outstanding taxes, and distributing assets according to your will. If you don’t have a will, or if your will doesn’t name an executor, the courts will appoint one.
Meet With an Estate-Planning Attorney To avoid difficulty for your heirs, seek the counsel of an estate-planning attorney to help record your wishes in a legally sound will or trust.
