I am willing to say it is the single greatest thing a seminarian can do during the course of his formation. It certainly has been for me. Thank you, IPF, for helping me grow in a deep relationship with the Trinity, one which I never real- ized was possible.

On March 16th, we were forced St Anthony to close our building to our students and teachers. This closure led Tim Beaver Chris Hutchinson to Scotus Central Catholic moving to E-Learning for the entire Lisa Kaslon fourth quarter. Thankfully, our school has been engaged in blended Fr. Ross Burkhalter learning in many of our curriculum areas over the last few years. St. Bonaventure We have also provided professional development for our teachers Shannon Kosch Jason Mielak to utilize Microsoft Teams as a tool to stay connected electronically Kathy Steiner with their students. This allowed for a much smoother transition Fr. Michael Swanton into the E-Learning. The faculty did an outstanding job in keeping St. Isidore high expectations for our students and going the extra mile to protect the integrity of Jay Pelan our instruction. Clint Przymus Dr. Dale Zaruba Another challenge for our school was the creation of a Catholic identity committee Fr. Joe Miksch in the absence of a campus minister. We no longer have a priest assigned to our school Corporate Board as a campus minister. This committee allowed for greater engagement by our faculty Archbishop George Joseph Lucas in providing opportunities for our students to grow in their faith. One of the ideas that Archbishop Emeritus Elden Francis Curtiss came from this group was Rock Talk.

  • Affirming the Dignity of the Mentally Ill
    Affirming the Dignity of the Mentally Ill …Our actions must show that mental illness does not create insurmountable distances, nor prevent relations of true Christian charity with those who are its victims. Pope John Paul II “Mentally Ill Are Also Made in God’s Image,” 11/30/03 One of the fundamental truths of Christian belief is that each human being is created in the image and likeness of God. (Genesis 1:26-27). The Catholic Church unconditionally embraces and faithfully proclaims this truth. It is the foundation for human dignity.[i] Our commitment to this truth is measured through actions on behalf of the vulnerable and alienated in society, especially the poor and suffering. Accordingly, as the Diocesan Bishops, shepherds of the Catholic faithful throughout Nebraska, we join together in issuing this pastoral reflection on upholding and respecting the inherent dignity of the mentally ill and those with substance abuse disorders or other addiction problems living in our midst. We are not experts on behavioral health.[ii] It is a complex, multidimensional subject, encompassing scientific, spiritual and pastoral dimensions. Here, we seek to share our reflections and perspectives as teachers and pastors, in order to encourage those who are struggling with these burdens in any way and to educate the diverse Catholic community on the importance of looking upon our afflicted brothers and sisters with compassion and care. As pastors, we realize the impact that mental illness, substance abuse disorders and other addiction problems have on individuals, families, communities and the social order. This impact, whether expressed in terms of treating these conditions or in terms of promoting positive behavioral health practices, gives rise to numerous considerations: mental, emotional, physical, social, moral and spiritual.

  • SCC Annual Report
    SCOTUS CENTRAL CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL REPORT www.scotuscc.org 2016-17 Columbus, NE 68601 Message from the President The charisms or “gifts from God” that we chose to celebrate during the 2016-17 school year were Gratitude, Service and Faith—and I give thanks to God for the many opportunities we shared this year to be good stewards of His gifts and to grow in our faith. Reflecting back on the year, the first thing that comes to mind is the positive attitude, enthusiasm and effort our students and faculty shared every day—what more could a school president ask for in his first year!? Academically, we had seven seniors named to the 2017 Omaha World Herald Academic All-State team including Tate VunCannon who was on the West-Central, first team. Over the course of the year, 35 students received NSAA Academic All-State recognition, and our National Honor Society numbers grew to 70. The 2017 Class ACT composite score was 24.3 which was 3.4 points above the national average. I am also very proud of the continued success with the Student Council’s “Shepherd” program—which provided upper class student mentors for incoming 7th graders. And new this year was the formation of a very successful faculty student assistance team that provided focused assistance to students who were struggling academically. In team competition our students brought home six district championships, a state title in girls cross country, second place finish in girls’ soccer, and third place finishes in boys cross country and track. At state competition our cheerleading squad captured first place in Game Day, and our Journalism students won the state Class B title for the first time in school history! We also had exemplary individual district and state performances in many other sports, speech, music and mock trial.
