SUPPORT SHCS
Garnering TAPPS Division III District 1 All-District football honors are Justin Brown, Luke Cochran, Omar Colmenero,
John Paul Hesse, Keith Metzler, Kason Reeves, Juan Salinas, Hayden Schilling, Isac Walterscheid, Michael Weinzapfel,
and Nick Zimmerer. Additional honors go to John Paul Hesse as Defensive MVP, Kason Reeves as Freshman of the Year,

With a full house on hand, angelic voices resound in Sacred Heart Church with the performance of the School’s annual
Christmas Concert. Under the expert direction of Clint Kelley, the evening begins with the charming Montessori Primary
and First Grade students, dressed to the nines and excited to present The First Christmas: A Nativity Musical for Very
Young Voices. The Elementary School Choir shines next with its performance of On This Christmas Day, a collection of
sacred songs taken from musical traditions new and old. The second portion of the program begins with an accomplished
performance by the Sacred Heart Strings, featuring Christina Rohmer on violin and Madeline Hanson on cello. The
Junior High Choir follows with the mini-musical Heaven’s Child, an impressively performed celebration of the Promised
One, Jesus Christ, through rich narration and wonderful songs of Christmas, along with some of the most beloved Christmas
carols. Culminating the evening’s program is the High School Choir, with piano accompaniment by Pat Hennigan. Gifting
its audience with a series of most-beautiful Christmas songs and medleys, the choir’s stellar performance brings listeners
to their feet in thunderous applause. The evening of heavenly sounds leaves the audience amazed not only by each choir’s
accomplished vocal abilities, but by their scope of work in memorizing such a large number of beautiful selections, many
of which are new or unfamiliar.

Why Support Sacred Heart Catholic School?
An investment in SHCS, however large or small, is an investment into the future—not
only for the School, but also for the Parish community and broader Catholic community of faith. A lesson stressed at SHCS is that we are called to live our faith in
action through service to the Parish and the community. For 122 years, SHCS has
drawn families to the Parish who share the commitment to actively support their faith
community with time, talent, and treasure.
