Developing Tomorrow's Leaders… Today Issue No. 2 Issue No. FALL 2011 FALL The Magazine of Cathedral Preparatory School Developing Tomorrow’s Leaders… Today Message from the President Developing men of vision Cathedral Preparatory School 225 West Ninth Street in spirit, mind, and body. Erie, PA 16501 (814) 453-7737 www.cathedral-prep.com That phrase, found on our letterhead, in all of our publications, throughout the school, and frequently integrated into our talks with students, encapsulates the mission of Cathedral ADMINISTRATION Preparatory School. Since 1921, Cathedral Prep has been charged with the task of Bishop of Erie developing men of vision – leaders – who will go out into the world and make a difference. Most Rev. Donald W. Trautman, S.T.D., S.S.L. These men of vision – our Men of Prep – can be found in every segment of today’s society President – church, business, education, government, engineering, the arts, law, medicine and so on. Rev. Scott W. Jabo, M.Div., S.T.B. Although their career paths are highly varied, the common thread that bonds them Principal together is the principle-centered Catholic formation and education that they received at Rick Fessler ’68 Cathedral Prep. Assistant Principal Sadly, we live in an age that often determines what is right or wrong by whether or not it Trevor Murnock ’98 makes us feel good, makes us popular or supports the status quo. Many people in positions Director of Finance of power strive to be liked by others and thus fall into the trap of doing or saying things Dawn Slokan purely to gain approval, accolades or votes from others rather than standing up for truth or Director of Advancement righteousness. Those are not the type of leaders that represent Cathedral Prep. As the adage Christopher J. Hagerty ’75 goes, what is right is not always popular, and what is popular is not always right. More often Director of Athletics than not, strong principled leaders go against the flow and are countercultural because they Bill Flanagan ’87 stand for truth. Director of Admissions In reality, all of us are leaders to some extent. We all have influence over someone else. Thus, Timothy Dougherty ’98 someone somewhere looks up to us and is learning from us and modeling their behavior Board Chair after us. It is a good practice to reflect regularly on where we are leading others through Jerome Wegley our words and actions and by what we stand for. We all are also followers because someone ADVANCEMENT OFFICE TEAM influences our thoughts and the direction of our lives. Similarly, we might reflect on where Director of Advancement we are being led. As a Catholic school, Cathedral Prep not only has the opportunity, but Christopher J. Hagerty ’75 more importantly it has the responsibility to lead others to Christ and to develop leaders [email protected] who embrace a Christ-like style of leadership. Jesus, as evidenced at the Last Supper, was Director of Admissions a servant-leader who came not to be served, but to serve and to give his life as ransom for Timothy Dougherty ’98 others. A life of service is reflective of the style of leadership that Cathedral Prep instills in its [email protected] students. Director of Communications and Annual Fund Christine R. Eddy This issue of the Cathedral Prep Magazine highlights examples of leaders who have either [email protected] graduated from Cathedral Prep or are closely associated with the school in some way. Some Director of Special Events are leaders of families, organizations, businesses, institutions or in the classroom; others have Karen Malec had to stand up for the truth at great risk to their reputation; and still others, like the featured [email protected] seminarians, are discerning a call from God to lead others through a religious vocation. Director of Constituent Relations These individuals are a sampling of the type of leaders that Cathedral Prep strives to form Nancy Bird and to send out into the world. We are proud to have them affiliated with Cathedral Prep. [email protected] Please pray for our leaders, especially our men of vision – current and future – that they Major Gifts Officer Paul E. Simon ‘78 remain principled and Christ-centered. More than ever, we need strong leaders to keep our [email protected] country, Church and society from straying from the path that leads to prosperity, life and Advancement Services Manager holiness.

Besides just Ebleeding orange and black, he is a “Man of Prep” who would literally lie down and die for the school. His passion is contagious and fuels the fire for the advancement office. He consistently Now displays a perfect trifecta of motivation, drive and zeal. It is my privilege to feature my boss whom I have deemed “The Million & Dollar Man”, Chris Hagerty ’75, Director of Advancement. Hagerty graduated from Prep in 1975. Following graduation, he went to Mercyhurst College and received his bachelor’s degree in education. He taught for several years and then found his niche in “radio land”. Hagerty started in radio in 1989, working as a salesman at WLKK. In 1992, he formed a company named Heart Broadcasting, Inc. and purchased 1530 AM. Soon thereafter, Heart Broadcasting purchased 1330 AM and launched WFLP AM aka “Flagship 1330”. Hagerty said, “The Flagship” was a talk and sports radio station with a pantheon of Then characters including Prep grads, Jim LeCorchick ’65, Pat Campbell ’78, Bill Flanagan ’87, Chris Hughes ’85, and Jeff Johnson ’89 among others. In 2003, Hagerty’s friend, Brian Cullen ’80 and Board Member at Prep, contacted him to let him know that Prep was searching for a Director of Advancement. Cullen thought his friend would be a good fit for the job. Hagerty met with Father Scott Jabo and the late David Bowes ’59. He was hired for the job in January of 2003, and it changed his life. Hagerty has overseen two capital campaigns in his time here. He was on the job only a few months before Fr. Jabo announced a capital campaign called “Share the Vision”, which was a $3 million initiative to renovate the classrooms and corridors of the school and also create the state-of-the-art Tablet PC program.

It was during the post Civil War period when the country was in a rebuilding and growth period. In 1870, under the leadership of Mother Agnes, the Sisters of St. Joseph opened St. Joseph’s Hospital in Meadville and in 1875 they opened St. Vincent’s Hospital in Erie.

If these simple re- quests are heeded in time, World War III will be averted, the mental and spiritual ills of mankind cured, and a lasting PEACE secured.
