Miege was named in memory of Bishop John Baptiste Miege, the first bishop of the territory of Kansas. Bishop Miege was instituted as a co-educational archdiocese school to serve Northeastern Johnson County. Today, the school’s geographical boundaries have expanded, and the school enrolls young men and women from throughout the Johnson County region, as well as students from Missouri. OUR PHILOSOPHY We believe the responsibility of a Catholic school community in a democratic society is to provide as many varied opportunities for accomplishment and development as the individual student’s aptitude, skills and potential will allow. We further believe that each student comes to us as a member of another community-the family-and within that community resides the student’s primary educators: his/her parents. We, therefore, include in our educational process the parents, as well as all others who contribute to the total education of the student. OUR EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES Our goal is to serve unmarried students who seek admission, to identify their needs and to provide a variety of programs to serve those needs and interests, thus providing for a comprehensive educational process which fosters the development of the student as a whole person.

  • Faces of Donnelly
    A publication for alumni & friends WINTER 2015 Volume 9, Issue 2 Faces of Donnelly DONNELLY DIGEST | 1 LEADER'S MESSAGE As I first learned more than 50 years ago, Donnelly College is a special, life-changing place. From the first time I set foot in the College as a veteran given a chance at higher education by the grace of the Benedictine Sisters, I felt supported and encouraged by Donnelly faculty and staff. After graduating from Donnelly, I went on to receive my bachelor’s and master’s degrees. Donnelly College truly set the foundation that created many career opportunities for me. I retired after starting and building a successful manufacturing business that I ran for 20 years. Phil Doherty ’62 Five decades later, so many of the stories coming out of Donnelly remain the same. Donnelly makes college affordable to everyone with very limited income and to those of us who are often the first in our families to graduate from college. The faculty and staff are still the caring, hardworking people who continue the work of those Benedictine Sisters who taught me. In this issue of the Donnelly Digest, you will get to know some of the many faces of the College: from students to alumni and friends. Your continued support makes these stories possible. On behalf of Donnelly President Monsignor Stuart Swetland; the faculty and staff; the students; the Board of Trustees; my wife, Mary Jo, and myself, thank you for your commitment to this life- changing institution. Sincerely, Phil Doherty ’62 2 | DONNELLY DIGEST COVER STORY Learn about the INSIDE

  • There Is Freedom Catholic Foundation of Northeast Kansas | 2017-2018 Annual Report Dear Friends in Christ
    1989 2019 Where the Spirit of the Lord is There is Freedom Catholic Foundation of Northeast Kansas | 2017-2018 Annual Report Dear Friends in Christ, The Holy Spirit empowers each of us with the freedom to walk in a new life in Christ. St. Paul writes, “Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.” Our Christian understanding of freedom is quite different than the prevailing concept in our secular culture. The notion of freedom popular in our society is the ability to do whatever we want as long as it does not harm anyone else. Where the Spirit The Christian understanding of authentic freedom is the ability to choose the “ good and the noble, no matter the external circumstances of our life. of the Lord is, Archbishop Joseph F. Naumann Each of us is blessed with the freedom to live a holy and fruitful life. “But there is freedom.” the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things, there is no law. 2 Corinthians 3:17 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
