PRINCIPAL
Brother Barry Landry, SC Says Farewell to CHS
To Serve as Assistant Principal at St. Stanislaus
“
Brother Barry’s greatest contribution to CHS has been
his spiritual leadership for our community. At almost
every school liturgy for the last seven years, he has shared
that touches students and faculty alike. In doing so, he
has repeatedly reminded us that CHS is a holy place, and
that the daily challenges, successes and even failures we
experience are all part of God’s providential plan for us.
Catholic High School has been and will continue to be
blessed by Brother Barry’s service here.”
“
Brother Barry has set an example as a spiritual leader
during my three years at Catholic High and continues
to be the supportive, unifying symbol of our school
community.”
David John LaPlante ’12
Gene Tullier, CHS President
“
Brother Barry has many
gifts and talents that he has
shared with the Catholic
High community – his
dry sense of humor, his
intelligence, his leadership
abilities, the list goes on.
Of all the things Brother
Barry brought to us, most
care and concern for his
students.
”
Ralph Stephens, Class of 1973
“
Hebrews 12:11 ’No discipline seems pleasant at the time,
but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of
righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.’
When we read this passage, it reminds us of the task that
Brother Barry had to lead the young men of CHS in the
spirit of the Brothers of the Sacred Heart. We think without a
doubt he succeeded and, as a result, he will be missed.”

parents of Sean ’09 and Jacob ’11

A violent squall came up and
waves were breaking over the boat,
Jesus was in the stern, asleep on a
cushion. They woke him and said
to him, “Teacher, do you not care
that we are perishing?" He woke
up, rebuked the wind, and said
to the sea, “Quiet! Be still!" The
wind ceased and there was great
calm. Then he asked them, “Why
have faith?"

RETIREMENT
Mitch Billings Retires After 38 Years of Service
“Mitch was the kind of
teacher who told life-stories that
connected to the English lesson he was
teaching. For example, his brilliance was
into a discussion of ’Old Man and the Sea’
in such a way that you didn’t realize you
were being taught literature.
When I returned to teach at CHS in the
early 1980s, he became not only my
mentor but also my dear friend. He was
one of those people who, when he spoke,
everyone listened to in faculty meetings.
He also taught me an appreciation of the
order the house wine’ for example.
Jay Harmon ’78
“Mitch has taught generations of
students what it means to be a Catholic
High man. In the words of one recent
student, ‘He makes you want to do
your homework.’ One of the greatest
compliments I have heard is the
disappointment of former students that
their sons will not have the same teaching
and guidance that they themselves had as
students of Mitch. But every good story has
its conclusion, as any good writer knows.
So in the words of Robert Browning ‘Grow
old with me! The best is yet to be.’
Peace be with you, my friend

Matching Gifts
Your gift to Catholic High School could have an even greater
impact on the school simply by asking your employer if it
matches gifts to non-profit organizations. It is possible that your
company matches gifts at 25 percent, 50 percent or even 100
percent.
