PLANNED GIVING AT SHANAHAN
Preparing Through Prayer
“Degs” Continues to GiveIn November of 2014, the Lord called his
faithful servant Bob “Degs” J. Degnan to
join Him in Heaven. At Shanahan, we knew
Bob as teacher, friend, colleague, and coach.
After walking the hallways for over 25 years,
Bob is certainly part of Shanahan’s legacy. In
addition to the academic lessons he taught, he
also taught the value of faith, heritage, kind-
ness, and laughter. All those who knew him
were blessed! His spirit will always be remem-
bered here at Shanahan through the students
who benefit from his goodness in his memory.
Bob Degnan graciously remembered
Bishop Shanahan in his estate plan, and as a result, students at Bishop Shanahan receive
tuition assistance and the benefits of a Catholic education thanks to his faithfulness and
generosity. (See article on page 20.)
SPIRITUALITY AT SHANAHAN
In August before every school year, the new Student Council Executive Board and Class Officers (EBCO) prepare for the upcoming year by
taking part in a leadership camp run by moderator and BSHS teacher, Joseph Aquilante. The camp involves prayer, team building skills,
workshops with leaders from the Office of Catholic Education, meetings with former EBCO members (now alumni), and fun activities like
go-cart races, scavenger hunts, a run up the Art Museum steps, and a pizza party. Pictured above, the new EBCO leadership pray at the shrine
of St. John Neumann.

December 2017
Dear Fellow Graduates, Parents, and Friends of Bishop Shanahan,
May the Lord’s peace be with you all! I hope you are enjoying these beautiful
days. All is well here at Bishop Shanahan.
This is a very special year for our school community. It is our DIAMOND
ANNIVERSARY! We have had a wonderful beginning of the school year as we
celebrate SIXTY YEARS OF CATHOLIC EDUCATION IN CHESTER COUNTY.
We began this school year with a very meaningful ceremony on September 11 and
we raised our new flags - US, Papal and School - for the first time at BSHS. Bishop
Michael J. Fitzgerald celebrated our opening liturgy on September 15. Homecoming
Week, “A DIAMOND CELEBRATION,” was a great success. The students enjoyed
the Pep Rally, the Football Game (big win!!!) and their Homecoming Dance - over
950 attended. All year long, we will celebrate our Diamond Anniversary with joy-
filled hearts and gratitude to God. Thank you for being part of these 60 blessed
years. I am sure that the 11,763 alumni of BSHS have done much good in our world
as they “Seek The Things That Are Found Above.”
It is hard to believe we are already coming to the end of the first quarter and
our students are well into their studies. As you know, along with spiritual growth
and the cultivation of a spirit of service, academics are a priority here at BSHS.
Strong academic programs are a hallmark of our school. We have also had a very
exciting season with our fall sports teams. Our “Friday Night Lights” games fill the
stadium. It is a sight to behold and quite an experience - the Shanahan spirit at its
best! Thanks to our Fine Arts department, we enjoyed energetic singing and danc-
ing as our students presented “Footloose” in mid-November. Our students are also
engaged in many service projects, always striving to grow as “People of God; People
for Others.” Shanahan truly is a blessed, busy place filled with happy teenagers!
There is something for everyone here!
Thank you for sharing the good news of Bishop Shanahan with others. Shanahan
is a wonderful place for young people to spend the very important years between
14 and 18. It’s important for them to be surrounded by good people who share the
same values and are true, positive influences during these very formative years.
Thanks for being ambassadors of BSHS. We encourage parents to come and see
what Shanahan has to offer and to “Catch the Shanahan Spirit.” Tours and Shadow
Days are available, and our Spring Open House will be on March 21, 2018. All are
welcome!
Thank you for your support of Bishop Shanahan High School. May God bless
your generosity! May this DIAMOND ANNIVERSARY bring special blessings to all
the members of the Shanahan community. Go Eagles!
God bless you!
Gratefully yours,
Sister Regina Plunkett IHM ’64

I t has been a remarkable start to the 2017
– 2018 school year at Bishop Shanahan
High School as we celebrate 60 Years of
Catholic Education in Chester County.
Students, parents, alumni, parents of alumni,
and friends of our community have all joined
together to make this a memorable year.
Between beautifying our campus, honoring
our country with new flags, remembering Sr.
Helen Rapine with a new garden, having our
opening mass with Bishop Fitzgerald, and
commemorating Nick Mullin’s (’08) legacy,
it has been a joyful start to this special year.
BEAUTIFICATIONEven before our students returned to
campus after summer break, the administra-
tion of Bishop Shanahan High School was
working hard to commemorate the 60th

Anniversary by organizing several beautifica-
tion projects around campus. At the main
entrance off of Woodbine Road, a striking,
three dimensional sign stands mounted on a
brick and metal foundation. New banners of
green and white swing from the campus light
poles, welcoming visitors as they approach
the building. As guests enter the front doors,
they are also greeted by a large, inviting ban-
ner that celebrates the 60th anniversary and
the home of the Eagles!
FLAG RAISING CEREMONYWhile the outdoor and indoor signs bring
new joy to the campus, Bishop Shanahan
High School held a formal and solemn dedi-
cation of its newly constructed set of flag
poles on Monday, September 11th. The
dedication commemorated the anniversary
of 9/11 and opened the 60th anniversary year
with students, faculty and staff.
During the ceremony, President Sister
Regina Plunkett ’64 stated that, “The goal
of Catholic Education is to prepare us to
be good citizens of this world and the next,
no matter what our age. These flags are a
very important reminder of this reality.” A
blessing of the flags and flag poles by School
Minister Fr. John Donia followed the open-
ing remarks.
The flag of the United States was raised
first to the patriotic sound of our National
Anthem being sung by the entire student
body. The Papal flag was raised next and the
school community joined together in prayer.
Finally, the Bishop Shanahan High School
flag was raised and everyone present joined
in singing the Alma Mater.
Principal Michael McArdle additionally
welcomed seven students, who are also Eagle
Scouts, to further honor each flag. These
Eagle Scouts included John Buck ’18, Kolbe
Bien ’18, Matthew Callan ’18, Josh Carney
’18, Daniel Guerin ’18, Robert Hagenow ’18,
and Nicholas Waldschmidt ’18. Matthew
Callan shared, “The flag of the United States
of America represents who we are. It stands
for the freedom we all share and the pride
and patriotism we feel for our county. We
cherish its legacy, as a beacon of hope to
one and all.” In respect for the solemnness
and significance of September 11th, the flags
were then lowered to half-staff. Eagle Scouts at the Flag Raising Ceremony
SISTER HELEN RAPINE MEMORIAL GARDEN
During the Flag Raising Ceremony, fac-
ulty, staff and students also remembered
the first president of Bishop Shanahan High
School, Sister Helen Rapine, IHM. A beauti-
ful memorial garden now stands at the main
entrance of the school, and was blessed by
Father Donia. A brick, marble and bronze
plaque stands proudly in its center. The
engraving emphasizes that “Virtue flourishes
in an environment of beauty.” The dedica-
tion in memory of Sr. Helen served as the
perfect closing to the ceremony.
OPENING MASS WITH NICK MULLIN DEDICATION
Later that week, the school celebrat-
ed Opening Mass with the Most Reverend
Michael J. Fitzgerald, and Father Mark
Cavara ’05. The mass officially marked the
beginning of the new school year, as well
as the beginning of the 60th anniversary
year of BSHS. The administration, faculty,
staff, guests, and entire student body were
in attendance.
Through the generosity of the Nick Smiles

W H A T ’ S H A P P E N I N G A T S H A N A H A N
Shanahan community enjoyed a new state-
of-the-art audio system beginning at this
Mass. This asset was made possible through
the support of many from Nick Smiles and
BSHS, but most especially by Tom and Dee
Mullin, parents of Nick Mullin ’08. During
his junior year at Shanahan, Nick was diag-
nosed with a rare form of pancreatic cancer.
Despite living with cancer for several years,
he had an extremely positive attitude. Marge
Campbell, the BSHS Choir Director, shared
a few words about Nick: “I truly believe that
God sends His guardian angels to show us
how to live. Nick was an angel loaned to us
to do just that. He taught me so much and
wanted so much to leave to others the way
to live and accept God’s will. He said to me
during a visit ‘I want to be remembered and
celebrated.’ Tom and Dee have done just
that - celebrate Angel Nick - through their
continued goodness. We are all blessed to be
able to call them friends and share in their
unselfish doing and giving.”
Over the years Tom and Dee Mullin have
also generously raised funds to purchase
marching band uniforms, instruments for
the concert and marching bands, a new
piano for the choir room, refurbishing ser-
vices for an older piano, and new micro-
phones.
Nick Mullin’s life has undoubtedly
inspired many in the Shanahan and Chester
County communities, and he continues
to be a beloved alumnus. Band Director
Mr. Chuck Keating shared, “Nick’s legacy
will be forever remembered here at Bishop
Shanahan. His approach to life was truly
inspiring. Everything Tom and Dee Mullin
have done in Nick’s honor will help me to
teach the true meaning of life to my stu-
dents. Nick lived each day to the fullest and
made sure that a smile was part of his day
and the people he was with.” Nick’s portrait
can be found somewhere on stage during
every fall musical performance. Our students
continue to remember him, and we lovingly
cover the Nick Mullin piano in the choir
room after every rehearsal. Nick’s life and
legacy were further remembered at this mass
through the dedication of a special bronze
plaque in the auditorium that was blessed by
Bishop Fitzgerald.

A RICH HISTORY, AN EXCITING PRESENT, AND A BRIGHT FUTURE!
The Shanahan community commemo-
rates its past, celebrates its present, and
looks forward to the years ahead as we con-
tinue to mark 60 years of Catholic Education
in Chester County. At Homecoming, the
Alumni Tent was brought back, allowing
alumni to catch up before the game. In the
Spring, alumni and their families will be
invited to the school for a Mass and refresh-
ments. Save the date for April 15, 2018 in
which we will celebrate alumni memories, as
well as the memories of our beloved alumni
who have been called to heaven. May God
continue to bless all in our Shanahan com-
munity for another 60 years and more!

Christ’s Love Abounds in the Class of 2017
The Class of 2017 Valedictorian Anthony Fonash and Salutatorian Kristin Loughlin are pictured with The Most Reverend Bishop Michael J. Fitzgerald on Graduation Day.
A s Shanahan’s Class of 2017 approached graduation, they
reflected on the defining traits of their class. They considered
what qualities made their class notable and what their legacy to
future students of BSHS would be. At their graduation ceremony,
Salutatorian Kristin Loughlin and Valedictorian Anthony Fonash
said it best when it came to defining the Class of 2017.
In many ways, the part of Shanahan that we
should never forget is best summarized by the
phrase that adorns this very podium: ‘People of God;
People for Others.’ ….In this six-word phrase is a call
to action, a call to live a life for a Higher Power and a
call to change the lives of others. It must now become
the foundation of our life’s journey. …. not only can
you be a Person of God and Person for Others, but that
in many ways, all of you already have been. You have
all in some way encouraged me to be the best version
of myself, while also teaching me the importance of my
faith. In many ways you have become like a family to
me, and now I want to ask that you go out
into the world and extend our family to all.
– VALEDICTORIAN ANTHONY FONASH
…as we stand together facing the future, I ask one final question: going forward, how do we measure our
lives? We have learned at Bishop Shanahan that life is measured not in minutes, days or years, but in the
lives we have touched with our love. We measure in the difference we make and the light we shed upon the world.
In college, in our future careers, in the places we’ve yet to go in our lives, we are called to use our gifts, to
use what we have learned during our high school experience and to change the world with our love.
– SALUTATORIAN KRISTIN LOUGHLIN
Each year at Shanahan we honor the Blessed Mother at our May Liturgy through special Marian hymns and a May Crowning. This year we also shared our gratitude for the nine Sister Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary (IHM) who work at Shanahan as faculty, staff and administration, as well as Sr. Maureen McDermott. Celebrating jubilee years this year were Sr. Regina Bernarda and Sr. Regina Plunkett. All together, these 10 sisters pictured have devotedly served 472 years in the conse-crated life! We are so blessed at Shanahan to have the IHM sisters serving our community.

When I signed up for Mrs. Campbell’s trip to
Italy with CCVA, I was told that this would
be the trip of a lifetime. Little did I know, until I sat at
the first concert in Ognissanti Church in Florence, that
it would be a spiritually moving experience that would
draw me closer to God. Singing in front of me was a
choir of angels. I literally felt my heart move
and I started to cry; I was so deeply touched.
NANCY POTTS, ’70
This past June 2017, I had the amazing privi-
lege to travel to Italy with Mrs. Campbell
in honor of the 25th Anniversary of the founding of
CCVA. This trip changed my life and the students at
Bishop Shanahan with whom I traveled gave me a new-
found rekindling of faith and a joy that will live on in
my heart forever. Despite the fact that our 25 member
group had many young voices with developed talent,
we brought men and women of all ages and faiths and

Chester County Voices Abroad is an international performance ensemble featuring young adults from ages 16 to 21 from the greater
Philadelphia area that travel each year through Europe as musical goodwill ambassadors. This year they celebrated their 25th anniver-
sary. Over the summer, Mrs. Marge Campbell led the group of 16 Shanahan students, five Shanahan alumni, one Shanahan parent, and one

walks of life to tears by the gift of music and the Gospel
that we spread around Rome, Florence,
Venice, Assisi, Loreto, and Sorrento.
MARIA SCARFO ’92
Throughout my experiences with Chester
County Voices Abroad, I was taught many life
lessons, and one that remains so profound is ‘Touch a
Life,’ the motto by which we have lived.
After being fortunate enough to travel to Spain and
Portugal in 2016, and Italy in 2017, I can honestly say
that my life has been touched. Having experienced
sights such as Fatima in Portugal, and Loreto in Italy,
my faith has been deepened and strengthened, and my
desire to continue to perform and travel has increased.
We did God’s work through song, prayer, travel, and so
much more. It was a beautiful sight for someone my age
to see so many people, younger and older, ded-
icated to performance, but most of all, to God.

Anna Ebersole ’19 and Joseph Grabis ’19 partnered in their Science Fair Project
and won honorable mention in the 2017 Toshiba/NSTA ExploraVision Program.
This placed them in the top 10% of students nationwide who submitted projects. In
their project, they presented technological changes they envisioned in bulletproof
armor over the next 20 years. Their chemistry teacher was Mrs. Andrea Gosselin.
L ast spring, Shanahan Business students took part in their
own “shark tank” experience called the Shanahan Tank Challenge. Chris Beringer and Brad Williams, president and vice-president of The Beringer Group, an independent advisory group, served as the “sharks” along with BSHS Assistant Principal and former Business Department Chair Mr. Robert Seefeldt. Student groups had to develop ideas, write business plans and present the plans to the sharks who asked questions and offered advice. The winning group’s idea was “Breathe Easy Boxes,” a subscription service providing relaxation items. Pictured (l to r) are: Brad Williams, Jen Adams ’18, Alyssa Lindley ’18, Skyler Shields ’17, Mary Kate Lewis ’18, Shelby Findley ’18, and Chris Beringer.

In 2002, the BSHS Administration
initiated the conferring of the
Shanahan Medal at graduation.
This medal is awarded to a person
whose commitment, dedication and
contribution to Catholic Education
deserves the recognition and grati-
tude of the entire Bishop Shanahan
community. The three words
engraved on the medal are: Service,
Commitment and Dedication. At
the 2017 Graduation, we were very
happy to honor with our Shanahan
Medal a graduate from the Class of
1974; a truly generous, spirit-filled
and dedicated person, who has lived
a life of service sharing the spirit of Bishop Shanahan High School
in Chester County and beyond—Dr. Eileen Helm Weaver.
Since 1988, Dr. Weaver has been involved in the administra-
tion of the Non-Public School Services Program of the Chester
County Intermediate Unit. Over the past 29 years, she has worked
with the principals and presidents supervising the Intermediate
Unit specialists who have served our students at Bishop Shanahan.
In consultation with the principals, various combinations of
speech therapists, guidance counselors, and reading and math
specialists have been assigned to support the non-public schools.
Dr. Weaver has also been able to coordinate and provide staff
Shanahan Medal Winnerdevelopment opportunities for
individual teachers and facul-
ties, forming a strong partner-
ship between the non-public
schools and the Chester County
Intermediate Unit.
Dr. Weaver serves as a
current member of the Board
of Limited Jurisdiction of
Pope John Paull II Regional
Elementary School. She also
shares her expertise and dedi-
cation to Catholic Education
by serving on the Strategic
Planning sub-committee of
the Foundation for Catholic
Education. Her community outreach includes four years on the
Board of Catholic Social Services and a very active participation
in the music ministries of St. Cecilia, Our Lady of the Rosary, and
St. Joseph/Coatesville Parishes.
Faith filled, passionate, other-centered, energetic, humble,
trustworthy, and straightforward are some of the characteristics
of Dr. Weaver. We were blessed and very happy to have bestowed
upon her the Shanahan Medal. Eileen has always followed our
motto, “Seek The Things That Are Found Above,” and Bishop
Shanahan is proud to call her an alumna!

Reprinted from Catholicphilly.com
(Lou Baldwin)
F r. Brian Connolly ’94, who was ordained
to the priesthood by Archbishop Charles
Chaput on Saturday, May 20, 2017, could be
considered a late vocation. He disagrees.
“It wasn’t necessarily a late calling as
much as a late responding to the call,” he
explains.
The youngest of the six children of Jack
and Connie Connolly and preceded in life
by John, Rosemary, twin Colleen, Kathleen
and Christine, he attended St. Joseph School
in Downingtown, and after the family moved
to St. Philip Neri Parish in Lafayette Hill, at
Bishop Shanahan High School.
“Without a doubt my parents raised us
in the faith with Mass every Sunday,” he
remembers. “They gave Christian witness
and are stalwart Catholics.”
It was during his high school years that
he first thought about the priesthood, but
put it off his mind for the time being. He was
way too shy and a priest has to be outgoing,
he told himself, and besides, he just wasn’t
worthy of so high a calling.
At West Chester University, where he
earned his degree in business management,
he became active with the Newman Club
and through that became connected with the
faith in a positive way.
“Father (Samuel) Verruni, who was the
Newman chaplain, was a great influence on
me,” Fr. Connolly recalls of the archdiocesan
priest who now is the chaplain at Immaculata
University.
After receiving his degree at West
Chester, he opted to join the business world
in the field of workman’s compensation for
the next decade or so.
Although he put the idea of the priest-
hood in the back of his mind, he remained
very much a committed Catholic. “I seemed
to believe God was calling me to be a lay
Catholic, perhaps in the married life,” he
said. He nourished his faith through several
groups including YASKI (Young Adults of St.
Fr. Connolly’s Call to Ministry was Always There, but a Response Took Time
Katherine’s and St. Isaac’s, in Wayne), the
King’s Men, and Our Lady’s Missionaries of
the Rosary. He also dated a bit, because the
married life might still be God’s intent. His
spiritual life was and remains really Marian,
including daily Mass and the Divine Mercy
chaplet, and for relaxation there was running
and hiking. But it wasn’t enough.
There was still that nagging idea of the
priesthood. He finally came to realize it isn’t
a matter of being worthy. After all, wouldn’t
it be presumptive for anyone just to assume
they are truly worthy to take on the awesome
task of transforming ordinary bread and wine
into the body and blood of Christ?
“I knew God was calling me and I had to
see His hand in it,” Fr. Connolly said. “I had
to give up my idea of what the priesthood
would be and recognize God was calling me
as I am. He doesn’t call the worthy; we have
to depend on his mercy.”
He entered St. Charles Borromeo
Seminary in 2011 and the past six years have
been a time of continued growth. He had to
give up any idealized notions he had and see

“We are not perfect, we mess up,” he said.
“God is love and mercy. We have to love
people where they are, not where we think
they should be. It’s a celebration of God
working through his church and a manifesta-
tion of His saving grace.”
About his ordination, Fr. Connolly com-
mented, “It’s a very humbling experience. It
is a celebration of God working through his
church. The Holy Spirit has been calling me
where I am and who I am. God will direct
me.”

I t was a pretty crazy 24 hours on July 22nd
for Shanahan alumnus, Ian Miller ’10. The
speedy outfielder started for the Arkansas
Travelers of Double-A the night of June
21st, collecting two hits, and after the game
was immediately put on a plane and sent to
the Tacoma Rainiers after being promoted
to Triple-A. Miller says he knew about the
trade, but still didn’t totally expect a call up.
“No I didn’t really know,” Miller said.
“People think about it when they see it
and I thought about it a little bit but I was
prepared to stay in Arkansas all year, that’s
just how I was planning. That’s how I had to
Mariners Promote Ian Miller to Triple-AReprinted from Hardball Scoop (Jamey Vinnick)
keep my mindset and keep focused and not
think about the other factors. I heard a little
before the game, but was told officially after
we finished our game.”
Part of what made Miller the obvious call-
up choice is the year he’s having. Miller was
slashing .325/.382/.430 with four home runs.
His Class AAA debut game was marked with
two hits and a spectacular diving catch to lift
the Tacoma Rainiers to a 4-1 Pacific Coast
League victory over Sacramento.
The hitting has been a nice luxury for
Miller this year, but it’s his speed and base
stealing ability that’s made him such an
interesting prospect. He’s nabbed 30 bases
this year, after swiping 49 last year and 50
two years ago.
“It’s not something I woke up with one
day, I’ve been working at it pretty hard.” he
added. “It’s always mostly been there, but
I had to refine my skills a little bit and get
better on the bases. It’s easier to steal bases
when I’m getting on more often too. It’s just
mostly been about me knowing my game and
trying to be the best version of myself day in
and day out.”

N ancy McGovern Pia is a 1968 grad-
uate of Bishop Shanahan. She’s
recently written a book titled, Creativity
As A Second Language: A Guidebook for
Discovering, Nurturing & Unleashing
Your True Creative Spirit. Here she offers
her thoughts on the book, creativity and
Bishop Shanahan High School.
How did this book come about? The book is part of a series developed
by Valerie Alexander, who authored the
best-selling book, Happiness As A Second
Language. Valerie is a screenwriter,
director and professional speaker, and
together, we collaborated on a workshop
based around the science of happiness.
It was after that workshop that she asked
me to write another book in the series -
this time focusing on creativity.
What does creativity mean to you? While researching this book, I found
that many people are surprised to hear
that creativity is not just about the arts,
but is a powerful energy available to
everyone. Creativity is about problem-
solving, improvising and sometimes
even reaching the unreachable. To me,
it’s a connection to our higher self and a
higher purpose.
What kept you inspired while writing this book?
Someone once told me that we all
have a book, a talent or an adventure
stirring within us. Yet, I never imag-

’68 Alumna Becomes Author
ined I’d be stepping out of my comfort
zone to write a book about creativity! It
was both a humbling and enlightening
experience, and I found the process of
bringing something new into existence
exhilarating. That feeling alone kept me
going.
How do you express your own cre-ativity?
Well, I’m an artist by nature. A while
ago I started painting and creating art
for fun, but over time, I’ve been fortu-
nate enough to have some of my pieces
displayed in children’s museums and
private collections. I’ve written three
children’s books, and I’m currently gath-
ering ideas for a fourth book, with the
intention of this one being published.
Children’s literature has always been my
favorite genre.
Any other words for the Shanahan community?
As a member of the Class of 1968,
I look forward to the upcoming 50th

(Excerpts reprinted from The Daily Local)
No longer half a world away from each
other, longtime pen pals had the
chance to finally meet face to face. Mrs. Deb
Krall’s (P ’02, ’05, ’09, ’11) third-grade class
at St. Maximilian Kolbe Parish School and
U.S. Army soldier 1st Lt. Jay McElvenny ’09
met for the first time and enjoyed a pizza
party together. Students peppered the 101st
Airborne Assault soldier with questions
about his experiences in Afghanistan, while
the soldier smiled broadly. The third graders
had sent jokes, birthday cards, Halloween
treats, Valentine’s Day cards, Christmas
decorations, and even a volleyball and jelly
beans to the man they know as Lt. Jay.
McElvenny read and saved the letters
Lt. Jay Meets His Pen Pals
from the students. He was down to earth and
approachable. “I don’t like the term ‘hero,’”
he said. “It’s always amazing to see the sup-
port from the people back home. It’s great to
be someone the kids can look up to.”
(Editor’s Note: Since publication of this
article, Jay McElvenny has been promoted to
the rank of Captain)
Brian Coxson ’91 Retires from Navy
Congratulations to BSHS alumnus, Commander Brian T. Coxson, USN, ’91

the Maine Maritime Academy in Castine, Maine where, as he says, “began his
Naval career on the same stage 22 years, 3 months and a few days ago,” just a
few short hours after graduating college. Pictured here are Christen (Coxson)

ED MATEJKOVIC ’65 RETIRES FROM WCUShanahan alumnus
and long-time West Chester University Athletic Director, Dr. Edward M. Matejkovic ‘65, retired in June 2017. Ed was the longest tenured AD in West Chester University history, having served for 22 years. West Chester University competes as an NCAA Division II institution; Ed helped build the Golden Rams’ program into one of the most successful in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC), as well as the NCAA Atlantic Region. He served 47 years overall as an educator. Ed Matejkovic also served on Bishop Shanahan’s Advisory Board for seven years from September 2007 to June 2015. “This has truly been one of the most difficult decisions of my life,” Matejkovic said. “I have spent a large part of my life at West Chester, both as a student and an employee, and I love this place. It has come to define who I am. It is, in my view, the best job in America.”

to $10,000 of his travel experience and
university tuition.
Jim’s undergraduate research has
focused on multiple aspects of ener-
gy that he plans to leverage for his
Odyssey experience. He worked on
solar cell research during an REU at
Drexel University in the summer of
2016, and is now currently research-
ing conductive transparent electrodes
with Dr. Michael Bortner who also

Introducing New Faces in Advancement at Shanahan
Wendi Chapman ’90This school year, the Advancement
Department welcomed 1990 alumna
Wendi Chapman as the new Director
of Alumni Affairs and Special Events.
Wendi is a Shanahan Sweetheart with
Jeff Chapman ’88. They have been
married for 19 years and have a son Ryan, a current junior at BSHS,
and another son, Jakob, a 7th grader at Pope John Paul II Regional
Catholic Elementary School. Wendi attended Immaculata University,
earning two bachelor degrees in Accounting & Organizational
Dynamics. The Chapman family lives in Honey Brook and enjoys
their pets, the beach, reading, crafts, and family activities and trips.
Trish KyleBishop Shanahan welcomes a new
Director of Advancement, Trish Kyle, to our
community this school year. She has many
years of experience focused on independent
school and Catholic school advancement.
From 1999-2009, Trish was the Director
of Admissions of St. Peter’s School, a private school located in the
Society Hill section of Philadelphia. She worked closely with other
Philadelphia independent schools and was an active member of
ADVIS (Advancement of Delaware Valley Independent Schools).
Trish has also worked with the advancement team at AIM
Academy, an independent school focused on educating students with
specific learning differences. Her primary role at AIM was support-
ing the EITC/OSTC tax credit program for student tuition assistance,
as well as major gift fundraising for the annual Aim for the Stars
Gala. Before moving to Chester County, Trish consulted families
to navigate the admissions process at independent schools in the
Philadelphia area.
In 2011, Trish joined the staff of Saints Peter and Paul School in
West Chester as part of the Healey Education Foundation pilot pro-
gram to introduce private school best practices in the Archdiocese
of Philadelphia. Six schools in the AOP were chosen to participate
in this pilot program that required installation of a school board,
introduction of major gift fundraising, implementation of enrollment
management best practices, and engagement of various stakeholders.
Saints Peter and Paul School received numerous awards from the
Healey Education Foundation due to the success of these advance-
ment efforts. Most recently, Trish was the Director of Advancement
at Villa Maria Academy Lower School in Immaculata, PA. Trish and
her husband, Jim, live in Malvern with their three children, Nora,
Nolan and James, who all attend Saints Peter and Paul School.
E ach year, Bishop Shanahan High School
hosts an Auction and Restaurant Fair
that provides the Chester County commu-
nity with an opportunity to join together for
a fun, social night. Current parents, parents
of alumni, and friends of Shanahan alike
have been welcomed to attend each year. The

guests and $50,000 in donations to support

grams. Classic features of the event included
performances by the BSHS Jazz Band and over
200 auction items. Participating restaurants

Shanahan Society Committee Member
The first person I met as a parent at Bishop Shanahan in 1994
was my oldest son’s homeroom teacher at Back to School Night.
Entering his classroom, my first impression was “Wow! He loves
Ireland!” This teacher, coach and Shanahan supporter, Mr. Robert
(Degs) Degnan, was loved by his colleagues, students and students’
parents.
Bob passed away too soon. Many BSHS alumni, faculty, staff, and
friends attended Bob’s funeral in 2002 to honor him. History teacher
David McQuiston noted that, “Green might have been one of the
Shanahan colors, but it was also the color of Bob’s blood!”
Bob’s love for Bishop Shanahan High School is everlasting. He
generously honored the school he loved so much by naming BSHS
as a beneficiary in his will. His passion to help students with tuition

assistance is a major gift that will continue to live in the present and
future in the hearts of those students who benefit from his generosity.
All here at Shanahan continue to keep Bob and his family in prayer.
He will be remembered in perpetuity as a member of the Shanahan
Society and as a wonderful Irishman. Sláinte, Mr. Degnan!
As we consider what is important in our lives, faith is the tool we
turn to in good and bad times. In my years as a BSHS staff member
in the Advancement Department, I heard countless times how impor-
tant a Shanahan education is to preparing our youth for the future.
Please join me and others who have recognized the school we love
in our estate plans. A simple act such as naming BSHS as a beneficiary
in a life insurance policy; gifting a portion of your IRA, 401K or 403B;
or designating Shanahan in your will can make a difference.
Contact the Director of Advancement, Trish Kyle, at 610-343-
6255 or [email protected] if you or your financial advisors would
like to learn more.
M aureen Morin came to Bishop Shanahan as the Director of
Institutional Advancement (DIA) in September 2002 after
years of volunteer involvement with the Parent Auction. Sons
Nick ’98, Jon ’02, Alex ’05, and Sam ’08 are all graduates, and it
was Maureen’s passionate belief in Catholic Education and her
love of Bishop Shanahan High School that fueled her desire to
raise funds to help all students reap the benefits of an excellent,
faith-filled high school experience.
In her position as DIA, Maureen’s primary responsibility
(among many others) was advancing the mission of the school
through philanthropy, primarily through the Shanahan Fund,
capital campaigns, special events, scholarship and tuition assis-
tance donations, EITC/OSTC tax credit programs, endowment
programs, and other miscellaneous fundraisers. Many who know
Maureen often heard her saying that we do everything “for the
kids.” She loves to share all the good things that were happening at
Shanahan through her many conversations with alumni, parents,
parents of alumni, grandparents, and friends of Shanahan!
During Maureen’s 15-year tenure, she developed close rela-
tionships with many of Shanahan’s benefactors and made count-
less phone calls thanking them for their support. Here are just a
few of the comments made by people whose lives were touched
by Maureen: “You have been a blessing to the Shanahan com-
Maureen Morin retires after 15 years as DIA
munity…Thank you for all you have done for BSHS and the
students….I loved working with you…you touched so many lives

Enjoy a well-deserved retirement!”
We wish Maureen and her husband, Paul, all the best in retire-
ment!

Kelsey Beckert ’08Kelsey Beckert ’08
performed at the
Academy of Music
in the Kimmel
Center’s Broadway
Philadelphia pro-
duction of Cabaret
during April 2017.
Kelsey, who plays clarinet, was one of
many cast members that play a musical
instrument on stage as members of the
Kit Kat Club Band. “I’m up on the band-
stand the entire show — 25 songs. I play
the entire show every night,” she said.
There is a personal reason that makes
Cabaret so special to Kelsey. Each night,
when she performs, she is playing on
her mother’s clarinet. Kelsey said, “She
passed away when I was 15. It’s such a
personal connection for me. When I’m
playing her clarinet, she can be there
with me every night. She’s the one who
got me into all this.” Kelsey also served
as a “swing” for this production, which
means she had to be ready to step into
any number of roles at a moment’s notice. It
takes a special actress to be called upon like
that because she needed to be prepared for
multiple parts.
