On Sunday, October 29, the Catholic Central Alumni Association held its annual Memorial Mass and Breakfast. The mass and breakfast are held in correlation with The Feast of All Saints.  

Also known as All Saints’ Day, the Feast of All Saints is celebrated each year on November 1 and honors all Saints of the church who have departed and gone to Heaven.  

During mass, Catholic Central students, family, staff, and alumni come together as a community to pray for loved ones who have passed away in the last calendar year. The names of the departed are read aloud. 

This year, the CC community paid tribute to the following: Thomas Payne, Ruth Porretta, Thomas King ’57, Nancy Lengyel, Richard Lemke ’57, Lynn Ehresman, Roman Sosna, John Barbara, Christine Plonka, Nancy Barta, Michael Krause, John Kauffman, Fr.
