2010 Scholarship and Career Achievement Awards Dinner

Sagamore Ballroom Indiana Convention Center Indianapolis, Indiana

Welcome to the Celebrating Catholic School Values Awards Dinner

Dear Friends of Catholic Education:

Welcome to our 15th annual Celebrating Catholic School Values: Scholarship and Career Achievement Awards event. Over the past 14 years, we have raised more than $4.2 million to provide tuition assistance grants to families in need who wish to send their children to an archdiocesan Catholic school of their choice. This broad support demonstrates the commitment to Catholic education that is shared across central and southern Indiana. Parents are willing to sacrifice to send their childr en to a Catholic school because they know that a Catholic education will pr epare them to succeed academically. In addition to gaining knowledge, children who receive a Catholic education grow in their faith and gain the self-discipline and morals needed to live happy and productive lives. Once again the Archdiocese of Indianapolis has received national recognition from the U.S. Department of Education for its high standard of excellence. Our Lady of the Greenwood School was named a 2010 National Blue Ribbon school. Twenty-six archdiocesan schools have now earned a total of 32 National Blue Ribbons—more than any other diocese in the countr y. Tonight, we will recognize one amazing Catholic family and four individuals who have used their Catholic values to make a difference in the lives of the people around them and in their communities. Our program tonight will feature a unique video retrospective titled Our Catholic Schools: A Legacy of Faith and Leadership. This video will trace our proud history of Catholic education in the ar chdiocese from the days of our first bishop, Bishop Simon Bruté, and St. Theodora Guérin to modern times. It also will look at the oppor tunities that await us. Thank you for your support of our students and Catholic education.

Sincerely yours,

Our Catholic Schools: A Legacy of Faith and Leadership

This is a unique video retrospective for our 15th annual event. It traces the origins of Catholic schools in the ar chdiocese in the early 19th centur y, through the legacy of faith and leadership left to us b y Bishop Simon Bruté, St. Theodora Guérin and many others. It illustrates the building of many ne w schools by the beginning of the 20th centur y when attendance was mandated; then wars, depression, and the historic growth of Catholic schools following World War II. It continues to explain some of the v ast changes in society and the Church following Vatican II and the renewal of the U.S. Bishops’ commitment to Catholic schools in 1990. The video traces the continuing legacy of our own Archbishop Daniel Buechlein’s leadership and support of Catholic schools, especially in urban areas, and outlines both challenges and oppor tunities in the future of Catholic school education.

The Family of Archie and Bettie Smith

Archie Smith and Bettie Crayton left rural Alabama in the 1920’s to find a better way of life in Indianapolis. Bettie came to teach at the ne w Crispus Attucks High School, but the quota for “colored” teachers had been filled. Archie found work as handy man and chauffeur for the D aughters of Charity at St. Vincent Hospital for the next 41 years. Bettie and Archie met in Indianapolis on a blind date and were soon married. A Catholic priest at St. Vincent introduced Archie to the Catholic faith. Although both were raised in other faith traditions, then Ar chbishop Joseph Elmer Ritter, baptized Archie and Bettie and they started a long devout life in the Catholic Church. They raised nine children and saved to send them all to Catholic schools. The saying around the Smith household was “You will finish Catholic high school or you will die!” Archbishop Ritter asked the Smiths to have their children be among the first African American students to integrate H oly Angels School in the 1940s. All nine children graduated from Catholic high schools including Cathedral, St. John and St. Agnes Academies. William was killed in the U.S. Air F orce at the age of 21. The eight surviving children earned college degrees and six earned post-graduate degrees. Two were called to religious vocations: Sister Demetria, to the Missionary Sisters of Our Lady of Africa and Brother Roy to the Brothers of Holy Cross, Notre Dame. Members of this extraordinary family have many career achievements in the fields of religion, education, health care, law and government service. Betty Jean Smith Patton passed away in 2009. Archie and Bettie’s children have been active in their Indianapolis parishes that include: St. Andrew, St. Monica, SS. Peter and Paul Cathedral, St. Thomas Aquinas and Holy Angels. The children of the married Smith children also attended Catholic schools. Thirteen years ago, Bernadette Smith Easton suggested that the family honor their parents by establishing the Archie and Bettie Smith Education Fund to provide financial assistance for families to keep their childr en in Catholic high schools. Each spring the “Smith Gala” is a celebration with music, fun, food and recognition for scholarship recipients as a means of giving back to Catholic education. To date more than $43,000 in scholarships have been awarded to 95 students. Community Service Honoree
