From the desk of Jim Kelly '70, Alumni Association President:

I want to personally thank our North Catholic Alumni family, friends, clergy, and our Board of Governors for making the 2025 Communion Breakfast and Mass a success.   I want to say congratulations again to our 2025 Hall of Fame class of Bob Kelly '81 (Arts and Entertainment), Dennis Hill '67 R.I P. (Athletics), Jim Boylan '70 (Business-Labor-Military), Fr. Stephen Thorne '86, (Religion), and Michael Ferris '82, (Service).  Also, a shout out to our Toastmaster Karen Hepp, Fox 29 and our Outstanding Achievement Award winner, Meg Kane for their attendance.

I would like to thank some of the people who made this day a success, including Jolene and the staff at Cannstatter Volksfest Verein, John Barnes ’89 for donating his Beach Brew cart for the event, Bill Ferris FKD ’75, who stepped in to help take some photos when our regular photographer was otherwise busy, and finally the alumni association’s Communion Breakfast committee, who worked very hard behind the scenes to ensure that both the mass and the breakfast went off without a hitch.

Fraternally yours,

Jim Kelly '70

President, Northeast Catholic Alumni Association
