ADVANCEMENT of Pope John XXIII
Central Catholic High School
Jerome & Bernice Roth Bequest
Pope John XXIII Central Catholic High School was recently notified that the Jerome & Bernice (Koenig)
Roth Estate included a bequest of $ 25,000 to Pope John. In addition, gifts of $ 25,000 were made to St.
Boniface Church and $ 25,000 to St. Boniface Elementary School. Jerome and Bernice were married on
September 1, 1955 and were members of the St. Boniface parish throughout their married life. They are
the parents of 4 daughters Kathy (McPhillips), Jan (Starman), Lori (Beckman) and Mary (Hankla).
Jerome and Bernice’s ties to the Catholic faith were deep and they were strong supporters of Catholic
education. Their daughters all attended St. Boniface Elementary School and graduated from Pope John
High School.
Jan & Rick Starman and Lori & Gary Beckman’s children also attended St. Boniface and Pope John. Jan
has been a teacher at St. Boniface Elementary School for 17 years.
The Roth gift was announced at the 28th Annual Pope John Development Banquet, held at Werner
Hall in Petersburg. The gift checks were presented to Principal Betty Getzfred and President Father Ross
Burkhalter by three of the Roth daughters: Kathy, Jan and Lori.
Please pray for the souls of these generous patrons!
Patron of School Becomes Saint
Consult not your fears but your hopes and your dreams. Think not about your frustrations, but about
your unfulfilled potential. Concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in, but with what it is
still possible for you to do.

Evening With Friends
CCPJ “Evening with Friends” celebrated fifteen years with 240 of their
closest friends on January 26th at the KC Hall in Elgin. The annual
gala was another great success! Those in attendance were Charmed”
with the theme, which featured rustic but elegant décor. Every
detail was perfect, right down to the last turquoise napkin! Guests
were wined and dined with an appetizer bar and sit down dinner
prepared by Mrs. Jodine Meis. PJ students assisted with valet parking
and coat check.
(L to r): Decorating Chairs; Mike & Connie Dvorak, Dave & Tracy Hoefer
and general chairs; Dave & Sharon Gossman, Tom & Bonnie Hoefer
pose in front of the barn painted by Lori Pelster.
Masters of Ceremonies were regulars Gary Hoefer and Dave Amick
from US92. Ted Baum facilitated a lively “live” auction that included a
juke box, Air Boat’nTrip, Brunch for a Bunch, Hockey Package, Steak
Cookout, etc. Other entertainment included games, raffles and a
silent auction. Principal Betty Getzfred garnered $2,900 in special
donations for a new PJ spotlight. Total proceeds for the event were
$71,000 which will go to operating expenses at Pope John!
Other committee members are: Dave & Gwen Beckman, Jim & Bev
Funk, Jeff & Kelli Gossman, Jerry & Jan Heithoff, Brian & Sue Henn,
Paul & Brenda Kuhlman, Ben & Anna Meis, Dennis & Lynell Morgan,
Ed & Anne Parks, Jake & Kari Schindler, John & Patty Thiele, and Kyle
& Deb Warren.
Development Dinner
The 28th annual Pope John Development Banquet was delayed by
a flash snow storm on Palm Sunday. But a full house showed up
the following night, Monday, April 14th to support Pope John and
Catholic education!
One high point of the evening was the announcement of the Roncalli
Award, named for Pope John XXIII (who was born Angelo Giuseppi
Roncalli). It is presented each year to an individual or family that has
made a significant contribution to the long term advancement of Pope
John. The 2014 Roncalli Award was presented to Dr. Dwaine & Carmen
Peetz by Mrs. Nancy Shavlik. Electricity filled the air when C.L. & Rachel
Werner offered to match the proceeds of the evening in tribute to
their friends Dr. & Carmen Peetz. The total for the evening came in at
$99,260. In addition, the Werners gave a total gift of $175,000!
Roncalli recipients Dr. Dwaine & Mrs. Carmen Peetz are
surrounded by their special guests (l to r): Susie & Del
Ames, Dr. Dwaine J. Peetz Jr., Frosty & Melanie Peetz
and C.L. & Rachel Werner.
The other highlight of the evening was the announcement of a
bequest from the Jerome and Bernice Roth Family. Three gifts of
$25,000 each were presented by the Roth daughters (Kathy, Jan and
Lori) to Pope John, St. Boniface Church and St. Boniface Elementary
School.
Master of Ceremonies was Duane Childers and John Temme facilitated the live auction. Other fun included raffles
for a tool box or gun, iPad, jewelry and groceries. $9,100 was raised as a match for the Distance Learning upgrade
grant. The Development Committee co-chairs are Duane & Chelle Childers. Other committee members are:
Sandi Henn, Sally Meis, Ralph & Deb Pelster, Nick & Beth Ramold, Al & Lisa Schrage, Jerry & Tami Schrage, Gene
Heithoff, Mike & Kristin Zegers and Kyle & Deb Warren. Proceeds from the Development Dinner go to the
Endowment, general operating expenses and other investments.

Grain for the Brain
Remember your local Catholic churches and schools with gifts of grain. “Grain for the
Brain” donations can result in savings for you at tax time too! The transaction must
take place at the buyer’s facility. The grain will be sold and the check made out to
Pope John or St. Boniface School at the time of sale. Transaction forms are available at
most local buyer facilities, the PJ office or St. Boniface Church. Think how just 1 bushel
per acre can feed these young brains and perpetuate the Catholic faith! Gifts can be
undesignated or designated for CCPJ Annual Fund, Development, the Endowment,
general operating, etc.

“Once Upon
a Mattress”
The annual Spring Musical added
another piece of history to the PJ annals.
“Once Upon a Mattress” was the 47th school
musical. This selection is a variation of “the
Princess and the Pea” and was also performed
on the PJ stage in1989 and 1974.
Under the direction of Mrs. Rachel Becker, a
cast and crew of 42 students performed for
eager crowds on April 4th & 5th. The sets and
costumes were exceptional and immediately
swept the audience into the world of “once
upon a time”. Lead roles were played by Casey
Pelster (Princess), Zach Eischeid (Prince),
Brienne Gossman (Queen), Jon Meis (King),
Karissa Dicke (Minstrel), Scott Moser (Wizard),
Nicole Beckman (Jester), Allison Beckman
(Lady Larken), and Sir Harry (Brody Hupp).
Congratulations to all for another fine Spring
Musical!
Spring Music Concert
“Music is so important in our schools; it builds
confidence and skills, encourages teamwork,
challenges the mind, brings people together and
opens doors for amazing experiences beyond high
school.” Mrs. Rachel (Moser PJ ’04) Becker

Elgin’s Q125 Celebration
June 20, 21 & 22!
Go to www.elginreview.com
for a full schedule of events!
Before the four winds blew and the seven wonders of the natural world were still just
an idea, Our Father lived. His Son gave us the words of praise to Him, beginning with
those two words that speak volumes: “Our Father.” When recited, we should know
that, first of all, “our” indicates that we are one human family. There is no distinction
between race, religion, sex, or nationality. “Father” insists that we are His children.
We may be a ninety-year old, but when we say “Our Father” we are speaking as
children in His eyes.
Let’s not forget, less we go astray, the greatness of what our Father has given us.
Let’s not forget to share these great gifts with those brothers and sisters of ours that
God loves as much as us; brothers and sisters who’ve suffered from war, disease, and
natural disasters; brothers and sisters who may have never heard of Our Father except
through our words and, more importantly, our deeds.
As we grow older, our days may seem long while our years may seem short. May we
live not marking the years, but marking each day as a gift. Not just when times are
good or bad, but every day when we wake, let us praise and glorify Our Father who’s
given us the greatest of gifts: our freedom of will. Our freedom to worship or not
worship. Our freedom to create or destroy. Our freedom to love or live in fear. It is an
awesome responsibility, this freedom, but one we must embrace. It is one we must
choose. And finally, one we must share.

Message from the Advancement Office
Are Catholic Schools still important in today’s world?
•
Catholic education is integral to the mission of the Church to proclaim the Good
News.
•
Catholic Schools are the most effective way to perpetuate the faith and encourage
vocations
•
Catholic Schools have a proven track record for outstanding academic achievement.
•
Catholic schools are one of the last institutions where we are free to teach morals and
values to our children.
These are just a few reasons why Catholic schools are still relevant in our world! How do we ensure that future generations will enjoy the same
Catholic values-based education?
One way is through Planned Giving. By leaving an Estate gift we:
•
Show gratitude for the blessings we have received.
•
Support the things we believed in during our lives even after our lives have ended.
•
Keep Catholic education available for the young families of our area.
Remember our schools and Churches in your will, life insurance or estate plan. Your gift can be a specific amount or a percentage (which is
the most common form of gifting) or as an additional “child” (i.e. 4 kids plus the school). Or you may include them as a beneficiary on a life
insurance plan. No money is required from you now – merely the promise of a gift at the end of your life, per the details of your will. If your
circumstances change, you may always revisit the decision any time by changing your will and notifying the school.
Please help us make the goal of 50 Blue Legacy members by the 2017/2018 school year, when Pope John celebrates its 50th anniversary! Join the
other Blue Legacy Members (listed on page 3) who have made this commitment to Pope John and Catholic education! Call Kyle or Deb Warren
at 843-5325 for more information.
