Congratulations to the 27th Annual Distinguished Pius XI Alumni Award recipients who were honored at this year's commencement ceremony on Saturday, May 24: Pam Knackert ('72) along with Eda Gonzalez Braun and Dennis Braun ('78), who commented "Remember to keep God first, then family, and Pius XI High School in your life."
