2018–19 Annual Report 3 NEWS AROUND ROMAN World Renowned Cardiologist and Motivational Speaker Visits Roman Catholic In February, Peter Longstreth, long-term member of the RCHS Board of Directors, arranged to have Dr. Roberto Canessa, world-renowned pediatric cardiologist and one of the survivors of the famous 1972 Andes plane crash, visit Roman to tell his miraculous account to our upperclassmen. Canessa’s story began on October 12, 1972, when forty- five passengers, mainly members of a Uruguayan rugby team, boarded a flight to Chile. Due to unexpected weather conditions, the pilot made the fateful decision to change course, which ultimately led the plane to a devastating crash in the mountain ranges of the Andes. Twenty-eight individuals survived the crash, and with the official rescue parties calling off their search after eleven days, the group had to find their own way to survive. At only nineteen years old, Canessa served as the leader of the group, administering first aid, encouraging his teammates, and keeping their minds focused on what needed to be done to survive. Eventually, Canessa would hike forty-four miles over mountain ranges in just ten days, leading to the miraculous rescue of sixteen individuals, sixty days after the crash. Author of the book, I Had to Survive, Canessa relayed to the Roman students the importance of team work and personal strength, but most importantly prayer and faith. Left: Dr. Canessa signing copies of his book Canessa credits his faith in Jesus as the main reason for his survival. for two of our students.

The Class of 2019 is made up of 214 talented and gifted students who were awarded over 22 million dollars in scholarships and grants to attend a variety of prestigious local and national post- Valedictorian, Ryan Truong smiles with glee at secondary institutions. The members of the Class of 2019 were accepted to over 130 the conclusion of the ceremony.

Chicago, University of Pennsylvania, Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, Arizona State University, University of Miami, and Elon University. Over ninety percent of this year’s graduating class will attend post-secondary institutions and six of our graduates will proudly serve in the United States military. With the Class of 2019, Roman Catholic High School continues to demonstrate the success of its rigorous, faith-based program that prepares young men for the future. As a community, we should be rightfully proud to witness our students develop into life-long learners, ready to take their place and make their mark on the world! Again, congratulations and good luck to the Class of 2019!!!

Honorary Diplomas As part of the Commencement Exercises, honorary diplomas were awarded to Mr. James Irwin McMullin (posthumously) & Mr. James A. Fogarty. Gaeton Gialloreto, going on to attend West Chester University, proudly glances over to James Irwin McMullin his classmates and family after receiving his Mr. McMullin enrolled in Roman in the fall of 1928. With the subsequent stock market diploma. crash, the United States was pushed into the Great Depression. Like many students at that time, Jim left Roman to work—to help support his family in any way he could. At the time, Jim was just a Sophomore, barely 16 years old. Several years later, with the outbreak of World War II, Jim enlisted in the Army, where he was stationed in the Mariana Islands, serving with distinction as a medic. Because of his sacrifice for his family and country, Jim never had the opportunity to complete his high school education and earn a diploma from Catholic High. However, throughout his life, Jim’s commitment to and love for Catholic High was legendary. A Roman diploma was posthumously awarded to James McMullin and was accepted by two of his grandsons, Matthew Weaver, RCHS Class of 2012, and Benjamin Weaver, RCHS Class of 2015. Adding to the specialness of the occasion, Mr. McMullin’s twin grandsons, John & James Cepis, graduated this year as part of the Class of 2019.

James Fogarty James Fogarty with Father Bongard ’77 after For most of his elementary school years, James Fogarty was excited about the prospect receiving his diploma. of attending Catholic High. He longed to be a part of the great tradition of the Purple & Gold. However, during his eighth grade year, the Archdiocese changed the high school boundaries and Jim was required to attend North Catholic (which he attended for three years). Through all those years, Jim still longed to attend Roman. Jim’s mother, who at the time was the supervisor Roman’s cafeteria, persuaded the Rector to accept her son as a transfer for his senior year. Jim was ecstatic. Yet, as fate would have it, Jim was chosen through the Selective Service Lottery to be drafted into the Vietnam War. While he could have deferred deployment, Jim entered the conflict. In recognition of his uncommon valor and sacrifice in the line of duty, Jim would receive both the Bronze Star and the Purple Heart. Returning home a war hero, Jim joined the Philadelphia Police Department, where he served for 18 years. Although he never attended Roman, Catholic High has always been the school of his dreams. Over the years, Jim has been active in alumni events, supported numerous fundraisers, and has faithfully attended the annual Day at the Bay. As Jim has stated, “receiving a diploma From left to right: Patrick Mundy ’75 from Roman would be like receiving a diploma from Notre Dame!” (dedicated & active alumni trustee) Charles Taylor ’12 (dedicated & active alumni trustee), Both the McMullin family and Mr. Fogarty were so proud and appreciative of their Adam Gault ’08 (former wrestling coach and honorary Diplomas.

With construction completed, a formal dedication ceremony was held in May to celebrate the opening of Roman’s Mock Trial Courtroom. Designed by the award-winning architectural firm, STRADA of Pittsburgh, the Court room is modeled after prototypes of leading area Law Schools. Roman currently has the largest Mock Trial program in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and now ranks among a handful of high schools in the nation to have its own court room! Equipped with the latest audio and visual technology, the new facility will be used to enhance training, review arguments and refine the legal skills of our students. It is anticipated that the court room will increase interest in the Mock Trial program and exponentially assist in the further development and mastery of court room protocols. Also, Roman will now be able to organize and host regional competitions. With Roman’s storied past, the court room honors the memory of James P. McGrannery, from the Class of 1913. McGrannery was appointed as Attorney Under the direction of head coach Steve Patton ’08, members of the team practice over the General of the United States by President summer in their new space in or to prepare for the annual Empire Tournament. Harry S. Truman in 1952. As AG, McGrannery, served with distinction and would go on to write the amicus brief for the landmark Supreme Court case, Brown v. Board of Education.

2018–19 Annual Report 9 Celebrating Service at Roman Catholic This past school year the RCHS community under the direction of the Office of Campus Ministry, the Theology Department, and various organizations (SADD, CSC, and ASIST) redoubled its efforts to be of service to the less fortunate. Students were given multiple opportunities to witness to their faith, by volunteering their time to help others. Our young men responded in great numbers and with high enthusiasm to serve others in a variety of programs and initiatives.

Roman revives the Appalachia service project This summer ten rising seniors committed a full week of their vacation to participate in an Appalachia Service Project. Traveling four hours away to Cumberland, Maryland, our students, along with faculty moderator, Mr. John Pensabene, committed the week to helping an elderly homeowner in removing an old fence and putting up a new one. The crew from Broad & Vine, worked hard in the summer heat, developing team-work and gaining the satisfaction of helping the less fortunate. This service project revitalized a service opportunity that many Roman alums may remember from the past but it hasn’t taken place in several years. A photo from this project inspired the cover of this edition of The Empire. In the photo, we see Cahillites working together to serve others.

Saint Francis Inn Located in the Kensington section of Philadelphia, Saint Francis Inn was founded in 1977 and ministers to the poor and homeless. The staff of the Inn work to build relationships with all members of the community by respecting their human dignity and by helping them to restore hope in their lives. Roman students assisted at the Inn throughout the entire school year with bi-monthly visits. Every other week, dozens of Cahillites helped to prepare and serve meals, interact with community members and assist with the mission of the Inn.

Annual assisting continues for Catholic High In March, the Archdiocese hosted its annual Mass for Persons with Disabilities at the Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter & Paul. Roman students involved in the A.S.I.S.T. (Alumni-Student Intergenerational Service Team) program led by Ed Kennan ’54 volunteered to be a part of this wonderful celebration. Assisting many of the attendees, their families, friends and even their caretakers, Roman students helped to honor the unique gifts of persons with disabilities, including members of the deaf community, and those with special needs.

Freshmen fill up food for others In May, members of the Freshman Class volunteered their time at Philabundance. This local organization was founded in 1984 as a small food-rescue operation and now distributes over 24 million pounds of food a year to the poor and under nourished. Roman students helped by sorting and packing food that would eventually be sent to those in need. In just a few hours the Roman volunteers packaged over 8,000 pounds of food! As Helen Keller once remarked, “Alone we can do so little, but together we can do so much.”

10 Roman Catholic High School Celebrating Service at Roman Catholic

Cahillites immerse in service “What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister has nothing to eat and has no food for the day, and one of you says to them, ‘Go in peace, keep warm, and eat well,’ but you do not give them the necessities of the body, what good is that? So also faith of itself, if does not have works, is dead.” These powerful words, found in the second chapter from the letter of James, serve as both a stern wake-up call and a great challenge. One way to measure the growth of faith is to see how it propels you into action in the service of others. Throughout the entire school year, and even over the summer break, Roman Catholic students have been generously responding to God’s call to serve Him through His people. These young men have given of their time, time that could easily be spent doing other activities, to put their faith into action and serve those in our local communities. Specifically, each Tuesday in the Month of July, students have volunteered to work alongside the Franciscan Friars who are in residence at the Padre Pio Prayer Center located in the Frankford section of Philadelphia. Each of these days began with Mass or a prayer service, which rooted the day in Christ. Participating in the charism of the Franciscans, our guys spent their day helping to restore the local community, building and fostering relationships with neighbors, and providing a hardy meal to the homeless and drug addicted. The day was broken up into two-parts, the first consisting of cleaning the surrounding streets, gardening, and restoring properties by weeding, cutting and pruning over grown trees and bushes, and general upkeep. This labor of love, as the Franciscans call it, helps the local residents to feel as though they are not forgotten and that there is hope for their families and their neighborhood. The news of the presence of our students spread like wildfire and brought joy and a sense of dignity to those in the neighborhood. The second half of the day was spent building relationships and feeding the homeless. Our guys loaded vans with bountiful, home-cooked meals, cool refreshing drinks, and numerous toiletries to provide to those who are living on the streets. Cahillites, along with the Franciscan Friars, set up shop on a street in Kensington, to serve and provide these free provisions. Here, they encountered many who were homeless, addicted to drugs and in need of hope and relationship. Along with providing and serving a meal, there is fellowship that takes place. People who have fallen on difficult times were once again made to realize that they have dignity and that they are cared for and loved. As with many forms of ministry, the full effects of volunteer efforts are difficult to see. Often times, man plants the seeds, but the growth of those seeds is hidden from view. Regardless, the work that our young men have started will in fact bear much fruit here in the community and in the Kingdom of God. They have taken heed of the words found in the letter of James and truly put their faith into action, serving God in His people. 2018–19 Annual Report 11 ROMAN ATHLETICS RCHS HIGHLIGHTS OF 2018–2019

Match your Gift: Many companies offer matching gift policies that can double (or more) a contribution made to Roman by one of its employees. Check with your human resources department or the Office of Advancement to find out if your employer will match your gift.

IRA Rollover: This summary describes the important advantages and steps in making a qualified charitable distribution from your Individual Retirement Account (IRA), commonly referred to as a IRA charitable rollover. The IRS has authorized charitable gifts from IRAs. Among the provisions of the bill is an exclusion from gross income for income tax purposes of up to $100,000 (for each IRA account owner) for “qualified charitable distributions” from an IRA. The distribution will count toward an individual’s Required Minimum Distribution (RMD).

Plan your Gift: There are a variety of estate and planned giving opportunities, including gifts of securities, bequests, retirement assets, charitable trusts, insurance, IRA rollovers, stocks and annuities, retained life estate and other assets.

Sustain your Gift: Decide how much you want to contribute and your bank will automatically deduct your gift from your account on a monthly basis. A modest gift given every month can equal a significant gift by year’s end.

EITC: Pennsylvania’s Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) programs allow businesses and individuals to direct the monies they pay in taxes to go towards providing financial aid and scholarships for Roman students. For a two year commitment you receive a tax credit for 90% of your contribution. It is easy to apply! Please view page 40 of this publication for more information on this program.

A graduate of Princeton University, who spent years in the real estate and the banking industries, Peter’s contributions to the advancement of Catholic High have been nonpareil. Working with four different Rectors over the last 28 years, Peter’s commitment and enthusiasm for Roman has never wavered. “Before joining the Board, I had little personal knowledge of Roman,” Peter remarked. Yet, he has been one of Roman’s major ambassadors throughout Philadelphia. Peter believes that, “Roman is a unique school that provides incredible opportunities for its students.”

Monsignor Frank Beach ’67, remarked, “Over the years, Peter’s help has been invaluable in moving Roman forward. Yet, what was evident in all he did, was his love for the students of Roman. They were his priority.” What impressed Father Brandt H ’06 was Peter’s commitment to help create a strong, viable school of excellence at Broad & Vine. Among all board members, Brandt remarked, “Peter knows the value that a strong Roman has for the health of Philadelphia.”

With his trademark humility, Peter credits the school administration and faculty who have exploited Roman’s Center City location to expand learning opportunities beyond the classroom. The young men of Roman are surrounded by countless cultural, historical and commercial amenities of the city. These assets are incorporated into the learning experience at Roman on a daily basis, something that is impossible for a school in a suburban 2018–19 Annual Report 23 2018–2019 Giving Clubs

The loss of Donald known when Donald came home the day of morning, for while Donald, like most for his love of life, love of his parents, his friends and working with children, left a profound impact on many people.

Losing their only child, Don and Rita turned their unspeakable grief, into a mission of love. Realizing there are so many families who struggle with Catholic school tuition, they decided to hold a benefit event in memory of Donald. Their goal was to raise money for scholarships for Holy Innocent Parish School and RCHS – schools that played such an important role in their son’s life. While initially planned to be a one-time event, the outpouring from the community has been so great, that the memorial benefit has turned into a yearly occasion. The sold-out event has raised thousands of dollars in tuition assistance for the schools. As Rita and Don have remarked, “What has kept them going, is being surrounded by such love and support”. Donald loved Roman and through the work of his parents, his legacy is continuing to help young men today pursue their dreams.

If you would like to support this initiative, donations to the Donald ‘Ducky’ Green Memorial Scholarship, can be mailed directly to RCHS
