St John Kanty Prep 2012 Reunion Event :: UPDATEThe 2012 St. John Kanty Prep Reunion Committee has finalized the following for our event. NOTE: We are possibly considering St Stan's for the Sunday 8:30AM Mass. The Committee received the following response when we contacted St Stan's: I and the parish would be happy to have your alumni group come to St. Stan's Parish for Mass at 8:30 AM on Sunday, September 23. Are you aware that the first pastor of our parish, Msgr. Andrew Ignasiak, was responsible for the building of St. John Kanty School. We even have the blueprints for the building, which has been razed. I understand that he was vitally interested in providing a college which would preserve the elements of our polish heritage. He came to the parish as a newly ordained priest in 1886 and died here on December 29, 1934. He had an ongoing relationship of support and encouragement for the school and the Vincentian Fathers. We do have a "parish hall" and if the ladies are available, I am sure that we would be able to provide a "breakfast" following the Mass. Please let me know approximately the number that would be attending. I look forward to hearing from you. Msgr. Bernard J. Urbaniak, Pastor (Father Bernie) By mtrott1 at 7 Apr 2012 - 5:51pm | read more | mtrott1's blog

MINA’S MARCH II :: Mike Trott (G77) and Adam Trott (G80) Signed up - Busting out the old Kanty Prep Football Jerseys!Feel free to join us or if you care to make a pledge, we will accept those too! -- Mike (G77), Adam (G80) Girard High School is planning the Second Annual Mina’s March, 5K Race/Walk that will take place on Saturday, May 5, 2012 through the streets of Girard. In May of 2010, our school community lost a beloved teacher and coach, Mr. Mina George. As a social studies teacher, football and track and field coach, Mina touched the lives of many people. More importantly, he connected with and made an impact on many students while he was here. Coach George constantly helped students and encouraged them to continue their education after high school. In an effort to continue this mission, last year we began a 5K race named in his honor which funds $1000 scholarships for one male and one female senior from Girard High School. Participants may either run in the race or choose to walk the course. Everyone will start at the high school football stadium & the course will wind its way through parts of Girard Borough and end back at the football stadium. Entry Fee: Pre-Race is $10.00 for students age 18 & under; race day the entry fee will be $15.00. The cost for adults is $15.00 pre-race & $20.00 on the day of the race. Students 18 & younger may take pledges for how many miles they walk either on the course (3 miles) or on the track at the stadium (as many as they can walk in 1.5 hours). Students who collect at least $ 50.00 of pledges will receive a free tee shirt. The pre-race registration deadline is April 15, 2012. Because we prefer to use all proceeds from the race to provide the scholarships, we are again asking businesses and individuals to help sponsor the race. There are various levels of sponsorship available; the different levels of support for a company are: $ 100.00, $ 250.00 & other $ _______. Individuals may become a sponsor for as little as $ 25.00 and up. All of the sponsors will have their names printed on the tee shirts that are given to each runner and event worker. The tee shirts will be sold at the district schools and at various high school sporting events after the race. Each sponsor will also receive a tee shirt. If you are able to donate, please make your check or money order out to GIRARD HIGH SCHOOL. If you have any specific questions regarding sponsorship, please feel free to contact or e-mail me at the number/address below. Applications for the race may be picked up in the Girard High School Office, downloaded from here or filled out below.
