The Members of Board of
Governors of the West Catholic Alumni Association are
greatly saddened by the sudden and untimely death of Bishop
Joseph P. McFadden, Bishop of the Diocese of Harrisburg.
Bishop McFadden will be remembered fondly by the West
Catholic Family for his many contributions to West Catholic
during his tenure as a teacher, basketball coach and
Athletic Director at West Catholic Boys, and for his many
subsequent contributions to Catholic Education as a priest
and Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia.
More information concerning the life and death of Bishop
McFadden may be found at the Diocese of Harrisburg’s web
site,
http://www.hbgdiocese.org/2013/05/02/death-of-bishop-mcfadden/
The
West Catholic Alumni Association asks all Members to
remember Bishop McFadden, his brother, sisters, nieces and
nephews, as well as the people of the Diocese of Harrisburg
in your prayers.
Additionally, the Archdiocese of Philadelphia will offer a
Memorial Mass for Bishop McFadden on Wednesday, May 22, 2013
at 7:00 p.m. in the Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and
Paul. That date would have been Bishop McFadden's 66th
birthday. All are welcome to attend and additional details
regarding that celebration will be forthcoming.
Please continue to pray for the
repose of Bishop McFadden's soul and that God may bring
comfort to his family and many friends. Thank you.

West
Catholic Rises Like the Phoenix

Just as the Phoenix rose from the ashes in Greek mythology,
so has West Catholic High School risen to soar once again,
not only alive and well but thriving and exceeding all
expectations of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. The
upcoming school years and the enrollment projections are
very, very promising.
