Dear Friends,

I'm writing on a flight to Vegas (thank The Lord for wireless!) en route to the fifth annual Viatorian Youth Congress, a leadership week for high school leaders in Viatorian institutions run by alumni who have committed to faith leadership. Throughout the week, we'll gather at the Viatorian parishes with about 80 fellow Viatorians, high schoolleaders and college-age alumni including Santiago Sordo-Palacios ’14, Nick Smeriglio ’12, and Ethan Jedziniak ’13and several others from nine Viatorian ministry sites.

The Congress is a powerful wake-up call to young leaders, enforcing how important they are to the 180-year-plus Viatorian mission started by Fr. Louis Querbes, as they hone their faith skills for prayer and the fight against injustice.

I'm sharing this with you now to remind you that you're equally important to that mission. I'm continuouslyamazed at how our alumni are changing the world by living out Viatorian values. For example, one alumnus spentthe past few months interning for Senator Mark Kirk in Washington, a city that REALLY needs our values. Also this summer, Dean Niro ‘83 and Andrew Kelleher ‘86 offered summer jobs at their law firms to four Saint Viatorstudents in need of the income for their tuition. Their commitment to our mission ensures that our Viatorian values spread even further, to the students they employed. As we work hard to keep our doors open for students atall income levels, I hope to find additional alumni, alumni parents and other Viator community members willing to offer such jobs through a new Summer Corporate Work Study Program. Stay tuned.

Dean is not only a generous alum, he is the parent of four alumni, as well. He is one of many alumni parents who remain connected to our mission even after their kids leave. Another of those parents, my assistant, CathyAbrahamian, a Viatorian Associate, is a great example of the difference an alumni parent can make. She leads retreats, moderates a student group, organizes our annual Relay for Life team and is seated in the row just ahead of me now as leader of our delegation to the Congress. Our students see God's goodness in her in so many ways.

I ask you to stay awake to your importance in this mission. Alumni and alumni parents can do so much to help.From career mentoring to tutoring to helping in Campus Ministry, helping on service events, to serving as adultleaders for sports or clubs their children love, the opportunities are endless.

Always remember, God made only one of you. You are a unique miracle. Please keep sharing that miracle with our community.

Peace,

Fr. Corey

Take a Bow: Choral Students Take Broadway

Got stage fright? Not this group.

This past spring, a group of Saint Viator choral students received the opportunity of a lifetime.

Led by Saint Viator’s choral director, Mrs. Kristina Sandrock, 38 students sang in the chorus of "Gloria," a five-movementpiece for choir and orchestra during its New York premiere at Alice Tully Hall in Lincoln Center.

Sandrock’s former professor from Northwestern University, Dr. Robert A. Harris, the composer of the work, conductedthe May 10 performance. Sandrock said he called her last year to extend the invitation to her students and any alumni toparticipate in the concert.

Students in the choir auditioned for their parts nearly one year before the performance and rehearsed them from Octoberthrough May.

After much practice and preparation, the group gathered early in the morning on the Wednesday before their perform-ance to drive from Arlington Heights to their hotel in New Jersey.

On their first full day in the city, students hit the ground running with a quick visit to Times Square before participatingin a Broadway workshop. During the workshop, students learned the vocals and choreography for the opening numberof the hit Broadway show, “Aladdin,” from one of the professional performers in the show. After lunch at RockefellerCenter, the group attended their first rehearsal with Dr. Harris to prepare for Saturday’s performance at Lincoln Center.

“I was so proud of their professionalism and the high level of their musicianship,” Sandrock said.

After rehearsal and dinner, the students attended a performance of Aladdin on Broadway. Afterwards, they met some ofthe cast and crew from the show for a talkback, including the actor who played Aladdin himself.

The next day was filled with rehearsal and sightseeing, including the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island and the Financial District. They also received an early tour of the National September 11 Memorial, which did not open to the public untilthe following week.

The final day in New York was the day of the long-awaited performance and Sandrock said it went wonderfully.

“The students rose to occasion and represented Saint Viator in the best way possible throughout the rigorous rehearsalschedule,” Sandrock said.

Along with the overwhelming praise from the Saint Viator community, a review by “Distinguished Concerts InternationalNew York” referred to the performance as “exceptional.”

From Rambler to Lion:New Athletic Director Begins

5

A former assistant football coach and varsity softball coach from Loyola Academy, who also worked in studentrecruiting, has assumed the reins as the new athletic director at Saint Viator. Marty Jennings started the job Monday,June 9, and he is still learning the ropes, as well as his way around the building.

“I’m so excited to be here, both professionally and personally,” Jennings said. “But I’m still trying to take it all in.There is so much to learn.”

Jennings is a 1998 Loyola Academy alum who earned his undergraduate degree in education from NortheasternUniversity, and, most recently, a master’s degree in administration from National Louis University.

He began coaching a variety of sports at Faith, Hope and Charity Catholic School in Winnetka while working his way through Northeastern, and returned to his alma mater 10 years ago as a coach and assistant director of admissions.

“Marty has shown a lifetime commitment to Catholic athletics,” said Fr. Corey Brost, CSV, president. “I'm convinced he will steward our program well as it moves into the future.”

Over the years, Jennings has coached football, girls’ softball, basketball, lacrosse, volleyball and golf, and, as a student, he played football and ran track. Consequently, he is familiar with boys and girls sports, as well as smalland large programs, and at all levels.

“I want to be an advocate for the kids and coaches, and create a great environment where they can be successful,”Jennings said.

“One of the biggest changes between Saint Viator and Loyola,” he said, “is the number of coaches who work outside the school. At Loyola, the majority of head coaches also worked in the school.”

“One of my goals is to continue to connect the many coaches who work out of the building, to the great successesthat happen in our classrooms and hallways each and every day,” said Jennings.

For the first two weeks, Jennings worked side by side with athletic director, Tim Carlson, who left at the end ofJune to take a new position at Glenbard South High School. “The school has a great traditionand I want to continue that,” Jennings said. “My goal is to work with and continue to provide strong and positive leadership to the coaches and players.”

School News – Class of 2014

It’s official. Graduates in Saint Viator’s Class of 2014 combined to earn more than $2 millionmore in scholarships than the previous record. In all, the 250 graduates earned $28 million in college scholarships. Here’s a sampling:

Consider Mitch Ryan of Palatine, who was selected for the University of Southern California’snew World Bachelor in Business program. He begins his freshman year at USC’s Marshall Schoolof Business before traveling to the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology for his sophomore year and Bocconi University’s School of Economics in Milan for his junior year and thenreturning to USC for his senior year. The innovative program is targeted for entrepreneurial students,with an approach that prepares them to be global executives. The scholarship will cover one quarterof his tuition, but the experiences he stands to gain are priceless, school officials say. He also willearn degrees from all three institutions.

Then, there’s Nina Byskosh of Barrington, who follows in the footsteps of her older sister, Alexandria,class of 2012, in earning a spot in Northwestern University’s Honors Program in Medical Education,which guarantees her direct admission into its Feinstein School of Medicine.

Santiago Sordo-Palacios of Arlington Heights earned a scholarship from Fordham University inNew York which will cover his full tuition and recognizes his academic excellence as a NationalHispanic Scholar, named by the National Merit Corporation.

Senior Class President Paul Lewis of Hoffman Estates earned the Harvard College Faculty Scholarship, valued at $97,400, as well as Princeton’s University Award, valued at $110,260 andNorthwestern’s University Scholarship, valued at $80,616, before deciding to accept the scholarship from Harvard.

Valedictorian Tyler Harris of Palatine earned one of the first Scott Malpass Schoholar Awards from the University of Notre Dame. Valued at $80,000

over f our years, it was named in honor of the university’s chief investment officer and, as a result, Tyler will have an internship working directly with Malpass,who is responsible for he investment of the university’s endowment, working capital, pension and lifeincome assets.

Matt Prazuch of Arlington Heights was among the top 15percent of business students admitted to the University ofIllinois College of Business, and consequently was namedone of approximately 100 incoming James Scholars. Matt

will attend University of Michigan in the fall.

The first person to enter the newly renovated MarieGallagher Academic Commons at the space’s officialribbon cutting on June 1 was none other than MarieGallagher herself. Now 91-years old, the Inverness resident and her late husband, James, donated moneyin 1995 to update the former library into a learning resource center. At that time, it was named in Marie’shonor, reflecting her many years as a volunteer and assistant librarian. She joined Fr. Corey Brost, CSV, president of Saint Viator, and Steve Burks, building and grounds director and foreman of the project, and Principal Eileen Manno, in cutting the ribbon for the new educational space that still bears her name.

“It’s marvelous,” she said. “It’s all new and that’s exciting. Kids will want to be in here.” The new spacefeatures upholstered seating and collaborative work stations, recessed projection screens and LCD projectors,

as well as a quiet study area and offices. Like the rest ofthe building, it has wireless internet access, and, for thefirst time ever, will be open from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily,allowing students to work together on group projectsbefore and after school.

“This collegiate style commons is designed to meet our rigorous college prep curriculum as we enter theiPad era,” Fr. Brost said to the nearly 100 people gathered for the dedication.

“We have designed a space that will promote collaborativelearning, while also providing space for quiet, independentstudy,” he added. “We think it will be the academic hubof the school.”

Fr. Brost said the academic commons renovation waspart of a $14 million capital improvement campaign,which started with the remodeling of the Scanlan Center for students with learning needs.

Construction has begun on the school’s new QuerbesHall, which will open in 2015. This multi-purpose space will not only serve as a collegiate-style dining facility, but also hostmultiple educational and social events. Inthe spring of 2015, construction will begin ona $2 million renovation of the performingand visual arts facilities.

Guests on hand included members of the administration, board of trustees, faculty andstaff, as well as parents and supporters.

Among them was Pam Mitchell of Barrington,a member of the board of trustees and, adjunct faculty member of Harper College.She was the one who suggested changing thename to Academic Commons, taking a pageout of the University of Denver’s book,where her son Will, attended.

The university renovated its library and renamed it the Anderson Academic Commons, pointing to neighboring institutions, whichhad seen numbers of students double in using the space.

“Today, we’re in a much different era, when students work in groups and on collaborative assignments,” Fr. Brost said.“This new space reflects that collegiate environment.

“Thank you for your commitment and dedication to ythe spiritual and academicdevelopment of our young people.”

Facility enhancements will continue to bemade throughout the 2014-2015 school year. Like us on Facebook, follow us onTwitter, and keep checking our website atsaintviator.com to keep up with our construction progress.

Planned Giving

The Planned Giving Corner will be a dedicated area where Saint Viator alumni, parents, past parents and friends can learn basic

tips for various estate planning strategies. Look for helpful subject matter to be covered here in coming issues.

The Basics to Writing a Will

You are not alone! Many people just like you are convinced that writing a will is hard. Maybe that’s why somany folks die without ever writing one – 60 percent according to the most recent survey. You know it’s impor-tant, but it sounds overwhelming, so it’s easy to procrastinate. But honestly, it’s not as hard as you might think.In fact, creating a will can be easy if you just follow these steps.

Things You Own – First, take stock of all of your assets. Make a list of them, being sure to include real estate,insurance policies, vehicles, bank and brokerage accounts, antiques, art work, collections, and other valuables.(You may even have a head start with this step if you have already put together a list of personal effects for yourhomeowner’s insurance.)

Things You Want to Give Away – Which family members, friends, loyal employees and others do you wantto receive something from your estate? You can address family needs and special obligations such as a disabledchild. And, if you are like many Americans (and many generous members of the Saint Viator community)you’ve been making charitable gifts during your lifetime. Make a list of your favorite charities – those to whomyou’d like to make a legacy gift. Lastly, start thinking about what you want each person or charity to receive. Forexample, are there family heirlooms that you would like to stay in the family? Is there a percentage of your estateor a dollar amount you would like to leave to charity? You can specify that in your will.

People to Help You – What will make the whole process easier is selecting competent individuals to providelegal and other professional assistance, as well as an executor (sometimes called a personal representative) to managethe settlement of your estate. Choose an attorney who specializes in wills. S/he will be familiar with your state’sprocedures, and will be able to create the appropriate documents to get what you want done.

So, now it is time to swing into action. You’ve already got a healthy start on the process, so don’t put it off.Contact an estate-planning attorney (friends and family members, Saint Viator alumni or even your local bankerprobably can suggest some). It’s okay to interview two or three attorneys – settle on someone you trust and withwhom you are comfortable. Remember, you’ll be discussing some personal business with this individual!

Keep the process moving, step by step, until you get it done. It will take some time, and you may even changeyour mind along the way. But that’s ok. It will be worth it when you are done, plus you’ll have peace of mindknowing that you’ve taken care of this important task for yourself and your family.

If you’d like to benefit Saint Viator High School through your will, we can help you with that as well. Please give Tom Ramsden,Director of Development, a call at 847-392-4050 ext. 344.

Saint Viator High School is partnering with Harris Direct to publish an updated alumni directory. This Fall, allalumni will receive information from Harris Direct on how to confirm your contact information for this publication.When completed, the updated directory will afford all of our alumni the opportunity to reconnect with each other.Please contact the Office of Institutional Advancement with any questions at 847-392-4050 or email us [email protected]. Thank you for your continued support.

Does that term conjure up notions of low-brow fraternity movies? Forget Jim Belushi, think Lucy vs. Ethel asthey race against the clock on the line at the candy factory. Only this time, the challenge is to see which teamcan pack the most meals for needy children and their families over a two-hour period. The inaugural AlumniFood Fight was between Lions and Ramblers but, more importantly, it was between Catholics and world hunger.

Over 70 alumni, alumni parents, students, faculty and staff from both Saint Viator High School and Loyola Academyfaced off against each other in fun, fast-paced, friendly competition at Feed My Starving Children on July 12 in Libertyville. Teams of young people from each school worked together to assemble pouches of nutritiously richmeals that would be sent to Peru for distribution. Geared for severely malnourished children, each pouch contains12 meals which include potato granules, soy flour, sweet potato flavoring, and other vitamins and minerals.

“Most of us think of charity or service as writing a check or dropping some change in a bucket, but have no ideawhat happens after that,” said Court Harris ‘03. “At Feed My Starving Children, we turned those donations intosomething tangible.”

The two schools are familiar with the mission. Both schools have sent volunteers to the organization as part offamily service days. Officials at Feed My Starving Children said their joint effort would feed and help hundredsof people recover from diarrhea, the leading killer of malnourished children.

“Partnering with Loyola allowed us to come together as one community in Christ to make an impact on theworld fight against hunger,” said Chris Wells, Saint Viator Director of Alumni R elations. “The event called us tosacrifice two hours of our weekend to literally make the world a better place. We are committed to making this an annual event. I’m looking forward to Food Fight 2015. More lives will be saved.”

Feed My Starving Children has involved volunteers in their meal packaging program for more than 25 years. In 2013, the organization donated over 850 million meals to the hungry worldwide. Nutritional pouches are distributed through missionary partnerships at orphanages, schools, clinics, refugee camps and malnourishment centers.

The second annual Food Fight is currently planned for next summer. Look for an announcement on our website, Facebook, Twitter, emails and in the “Upcoming Events” section located on the inside cover of an upcoming issue of A Lion for Life Magazine.
