2014 ALUMNI AWARDS PROGRAM

In December Marian Central was the recipient of an estate gift of $250,000 from Leo and Jean Cooney of Woodstock. We are extremely grateful for this very generous gift from Mr. and Mrs. Cooney who have been supporters and benefactors of the school’s many efforts since its inception in 1959. This gift will become a memorial scholarship endowment account in the Rockford Diocesan Foundation. The gift will be safeguarded throughout the life of the school with the earnings from

the account available to be withdrawn for tuition assistance for Marian students. In fact, this is the second such gift Mr. and Mrs. Cooney have made to help families in their quest to have their children attend Marian Central. In 2002, Mr. and Mrs. Cooney set up their first endowed scholarship account in the Diocesan Foundation to provide Marian Central scholarships to students from families belonging to their home parish, St. Mary, Woodstock. Since that time, that endowment has provided tens of thousands of dollars of assistance to St. Mary parishioner families. The earnings from the new account will be made available to families whose students graduate from the Catholic elementary schools in McHenry County. At Marian Central we remember and pray daily for the repose of the souls of Mr. and Mrs. Cooney and all of our school’s deceased benefactors as well as pray for our living benefactors.

LEO AND JEAN COONEY ESTATE GIFTREMEMBER WHENFifty years ago, Marian Central was the Football Suburban Catholic Conference winner. Conference members were Notre Dame of Niles, Joliet Catholic, Marmion, St. Francis, St. Edward, Immaculate Conception and St. Procopius (now Benet Academy). Marian went through the conference schedule undefeated but lost to Edgewood of Madison, WI and Boylan. Seniors on the team will be celebrating their 50th class reunion this fall.

Twenty five years ago Marian Central won a fourth football state championship. The team lost their beloved coach, Don Penza, that spring and dedicated the season to him. Assistant Coach Steve Patton took over as head coach and the team went undefeated beating Burlington, Byron, Galena, Momence and St. Joseph Ogden to win the first place trophy. One of the captains of the team, Tom Kruse, is currently on staff at the school as a Counselor in the Guidance Office.
