Accordingly, it’s a delight to point to the accomplishments of many alumni who are showcased in this issue of the Cardinal. Several clergy-graduates of the prep school and former seminary college have found their way onto the pages of this issue: Msgr. Lawrence J. Corcoran ’35, Msgr. Ralph J. Huntzinger ’42 and Msgr. John J. “Jack” Dreese ’50 have all been recently honored by the school. Dr. James Yeager ’64 is profiled for his work to rescue and resurrect two St. Charles organs from destruction and giving them new life in his renowned musical program at the Josephinum. And the influential life of coach and teacher Jack Ryan is celebrated as he was inducted into the Columbus Hall of Fame in August. Several important events have kept the campus alive with activity. The school in early October played host to the 2005 Borromean Lecture and guest speaker Dr. F. Russell Hittinger, the Warren Professor of Catholic Studies in the Department of Philosophy and Religion at The University of Tulsa. The most noticeable and very significant activity on campus is the construction Two steel columns were signed by the school’s faculty, of new facilities.

And again this year the school is providing financial aid — more than $360,000 — to nearly 20% of its students. The financial assistance is made possible thanks to the generosity of alumni and St. Charles friends. Their generous contributions and prayers are greatly appreciated. May our Father and our patron saint, St. Charles, in heaven continue to watch over and guide St. Charles Preparatory School each day.

Yours in Christ, Dominic J. Cavello
