Congratulations to Lily O’Neil, Grady Whitson, and Isobel Bowles, who performed at the Kennedy Center with the
Indianapolis Children’s Choir. They performed at the Kennedy Center Concert Hall in
Washington D.C. on Tuesday night, June 21. They also performed at the Wang Center
in Boston and the Lincoln Center in New York City. The ICC are featured in all three
concerts, which are the world premieres of the oratorio, A MELANCHOLY BEAUTY,
which depicts the rescue of 49.000 Bulgarian Jews during the Holocaust. The
Indianapolis Children's Choir is performing with several other national and international choirs and soloists, along with the
National Philharmonic Orchestra. During this tour these 3 Cathedral students have also had the honor to sing with the ICC
at the Lincoln Memorial, the Holocaust Museum, and outside the White House in Washington D.C. They are hoping and
planning to sing at the sight of the Freedom Tower at Ground Zero when they are in New York City.
Congratulations to Jay Ruckelshaus, who has been named one of The Tamika Catchings Catch the Stars
Foundation Scholar Athlete Award winners. This program recognizes one male and one female student
male and female honoree with a $2500 scholarship to the college of their choice. Tamika Catchings says, “The
program has grown bigger and better from our start in 2006 and it is amazing to hear the kids' stories, meet
them and be able to honor them for one night. This is one of many events that we do under CTSF, but it's
always rewarding to know that we truly are ‘preparing our youth to catch their dreams one star at a time.’”
Congratulations to Christine White (’11), who took part in the National History Day Competition in
Maryland and finished #13 in the nation! Christine’s topic was “An Unprecedented Peace: A Change of
Order at the Paris Peace Conference, 1919.” Great work, Christin
Congratulations to two of our Indianapolis Ice players, who have signed with new teams. Sean Kuraly (’12) went
#133 to San Jose Sharks and Brian Ferlin (’12) went #121 to the Boston Bruins. We wish both of these young men a great
season ahead!
Congratulations to senior Haley Roach for winning the annual Music for All/Bands of America drum major marchoff this year at the annual Summer Band Symposium at Ball State University. Haley was the “last one
standing” on the annual camp march-off and beat over 400 high school drum majors from across the United
States, Canada, and Australia. Congratulations, also, to our other outstanding summer symposium campers
– Frank Schwandt and Clorissa Orrick (drum majors); Chris Jones (jazz); Octavia Farris and Nick
Buckman (concert); and Mackenzie Wolf, Shantelle Taylor, Erin Walsh, and Marissa Hoffmire (guard).
2nd Lieutenant Douglas J. Ausenbaugh of Indianapolis was named Top Infantry

Point. Upon his graduation, 2LT Ausenbaugh was sworn in as an officer in the Army by
his great-grandfather, Navy Cdr. Robert L. Self.
 The Top Infantry Cadet Award, presented by the National Infantry Association, was

training of fellow Cathedral alums Marco Caress, Ben Smith, John Mecker, and
Katie Wacker.

Our great friend Andy Shiel was one of the true pillars of strength not only for his family, the board of directors and

Job change for Mike Feeney, but focus remains on kids
Indianapolis, Ind. — Cathedral High School President Stephen J. Helmich announced today that Michael J. Feeney,
senior vice president, will be moving to a part-time role at the school when he takes over as the Chief Executive
Officer of Starfish Initiative.
“Cathedral has been the generous recipient of Mike’s unfailing passion for helping kids,” Helmich said. “I’m pleased
that we’ll continue to benefit from Mike’s talents, and wish him nothing but success as he works to
make opportunities
come to life for even more young people.”
Feeney’s relationship with Cathedral spans more than 25 years, when he was first a proud parent
and then as he moved
into a professional role helping to raise funds to further the school’s mission and vision. During his
time at Cathedral,
he helped spearhead three capital campaigns that garnered nearly $20 million in support for the
school and launched
the Shamrock Scholars Program.
“I have come to believe that Cathedral is indeed the finest high school in the state of Indiana,” Feeney said. “It’s
because of my experience here that in 2003 I was able to help create Starfish Initiative – an organization that has as its
primary mission mentoring financially disadvantaged students through high school and college.
“With the help and encouragement of Steve Helmich, I will continue to raise funds to support the Shamrock Scholars
Program here at Cathedral as I begin my new calling,” Feeney said. “While I will be taking a new position with Starfish,
my hope is that the relationships and work that I have enjoyed here at Cathedral High School will continue for years to
come.”
“I hope I go with your encouragement and blessing because it is the work that we all continue to do on behalf of
young people that makes us all successful for a lifetime.”
Feeney and his wife Mary, a Ladywood School alumna, enjoy traveling and spending time with their three children and
nine grandchildren. He’ll begin his new job on Aug. 1.
Additional information: Since 1918, Cathedral High School has been promoting a mission of diversity in her student
body. This Catholic, college-preparatory high school provides to her students opportunities for spiritual, intellectual,
social, emotional and physical growth. Cathedral’s commitment to diversity extends not only to racial and religious
veins, but to geographic, academic and socioeconomic diversity as well.

Service Outreach News:
The spirit of our service will be guided by Matt 25:35-36: “I was hungry and you gave me food. I was thirsty and you gave
me drink, I was naked and you clothed me. I was homeless and you gave to shelter. I was ill and you came to see me.”
9
“You have not chosen me; I have chosen you. Go and bear fruit that will last.” Jn 13:16. Our actions in serving others attest
to the fruit that we bear and offer to others. Recently, the Indianapolis Star had the headline: “A Heart for the Poor” as it
praised a generous gift by a successful developer with simple roots who donated $40 million to Wishard. (June 12, 2011).
Cathedral students show our heart for the poor with compelling service actions that also allow us to ripen as rich sources of
fruit and love for our community and God. Our actions help to introduce change, hope, and support; they galvanize our
understanding of the advocacy needed to address the causes of poverty.
Class Service Projects Class service projects will take place in July. They become perfect service opportunities for offseason sport groups and families. Details on all of these class service projects are noted below in Service Opportunities. By
supporting these projects on projects on Saturday, July 9 at the Cathedral Soup Kitchen (10:30-1:30) and on Wednesday,
July 13 at Anna’s House (4:00 PM-7:30 PM), we show a unified force of Irish love in the community. Research has shown
that family service projects are bonding core actions that reinforce good decision reasoning for teenage students and help a
family to “walk the talk.” Innumerable opportunities are listed below that can be developed as a family service projects.
Habitat for Humanity Could there be a more vital way for us to support community needs in Indianapolis than to support
low cost housing? Cathedral will help to construct our ninth Habitat for Humanity home this fall. Our Habitat for Humanity
chapter, led by seniors Natalie Dickman, Grace Waltz and Claire Welch, will host Shack City on September 9th as an
insightful and dynamic fundraising experience in homelessness and need for low cost housing. This project helps us to raise
$5,000 which our chapter commits to the fall Habitat home that Cathedral undertakes as an important community outreach
each year. Thanks for your support of Habitat!
Senior Service Our Cathedral seniors have contributed more than 37,000 service hours to the Indianapolis community
and more through their acts of giving and support during their last four years. This equals more than eighteen persons in
payroll that has been donated through their volunteer work and support. Their insights gained have been immeasurable as
they conclude their four years at Cathedral and prepare to go forth to acquire their next four years of learning and
contribution. Congratulations, seniors, on your good works and heart.
Service Hours on Power School Service hours may be viewed on Power School and are current for all
hours received since the start of school. There is a small button in the upper right hand corner to view the
service hour detail and summary by year. For the 2011-12 academic year, service hours for seniors are due

Service Reflection
They say it takes a minute to serve a special person,
An hour to appreciate them,
A day to love them,
But then an entire life to forget them.

May your Cathedral service personally enrich you and your spirituality, as we seek to
address challenges faced by our brothers and sisters in our immediate community and world-wide.
Service hours for freshmen, sophomore and junior students for the academic year of 2011-12 are due on March 1,
2012. Seniors graduation hours for the academic year of 2011-2012 are due on December 1, 2011. Click here for
the 2011-12 Service Documentation. Click here for the 2011-12 Service Documentation form. Click here for the
Service Hour Criteria. Hours will not be accepted more than sixty days after the date of service performance.
Please check the service criteria because neighbor help, family help and working for a business without pay is not
accepted as service hours. We always encourage our students to help their families and neighbors but we do not
accept these efforts as service hours. We seek to perform our service in the spirit of Matthew 25:35-36.

Meditation: Acts 12:1-11
Peter was being kept in prison, but prayer by the church was fervently being made to God on his behalf. (Acts 12:5)
In this wonderful story, we read how God answered the prayers of the early church by sending an angel to release Peter
from prison. So astonished is Peter that at first he thinks he is dreaming or having a vision. This can’t really be happening!
In the same way, when he knocks at the door of the house where the community is praying for his release, the young
woman who answers can’t believe her eyes. She is so excited that she rushes off to tell everyone without even letting Peter
in!
From the earliest days of the church, Christians have been praying for their leaders. And from the earliest days, those
leaders have relied on their prayers. The author of Hebrews urges: “I especially ask for your prayers that I may be restored
to you very soon” (Hebrews 13:19). Paul tells the Philippians: “I know that this will result in deliverance for me through your
prayers” (Philippians 1:19).
So how faithful are you in praying for our leaders? We should regularly be lifting up our “Peters” (Pope Benedict XVI, our
local bishop, our pastor, and all our shepherds) and our “Pauls” (the evangelists and missionaries we know, and even those
we don’t know). It’s an important enough ministry that we should be setting aside regular time to do this. You can even join
the Holy Father in his monthly intercessions by offering up the prayers that appear on the back cover of this magazine every
month. Check with your diocesan office to see if your bishop has similar monthly prayer requests.
17
When you hear of a natural disaster or a world crisis, find out what Christian organizations are on the scene to help the
people who are affected—and pray for them. If a fund appeal captures your interest, find out more about the needs of the
people that are pouring out their lives to lift up the needy, and add them to your list. Never stop praying— so many people
depend on it!
“Father, thank you for calling pastors to serve your church and evangelists to take your good news to the world. Make their
hearts joyful and their work fruitful for your kingdom.”
Blessings,
