Dear Pius Alumni:

I cannot believe I have completed more than six years as your Alumni Director. Though the transition has been smooth for me, the memories of our dear friend Father Carney are always present. There is not a day that goes by, as I sit in my office that I don't think of him. His energy, enthusiasm, and love for Pius XI High School are always felt and certainly will never be forgotten.

As we continue to move forward, I am amazed by the commitment and level of support from you, our valued alumni. Many of you have remained passionate about Pius XI. That passion is evidenced by volunteering your time and talents, as well as financially contributing to the ongoing support of the school.

Pius' alumni base has grown to over 25,000. It amazes me that wherever I go, there is a Pius XI alum there. I love the reconnecting that takes place: the e-mails, the letters, and calls I receive from alum on a daily basis. I really get a sense of how much Pius XI has meant to so many people.

Please make sure we have your updated contact information and email address, you can easily update this information by clicking here and filling out our registration page. Join me on Facebook and be sure to 'like' the official Pius XI High School Facebook page for updates about Pius XI, our students, alumni and the community.

Sincerely yours,
Joel Claassen
