Welcome to the new digital
St. Pius X Connections magazine!

Dear Friends,

Welcome to the new digital St. Pius X Connections magazine! We hope you will enjoy the ease of online access to the wonderful stories of Sartan alumni and student success as Connections makes a full transformation to a digital publication.

In this issue, catch up with Sheilah Jennings ’04, a former SPX teacher finding success at UNM law school, the U.S. Senate and beyond; and a tribute to the late Msgr. Francis Eggert, an SPX teacher and principal in the early days of the school who continued his connection to students well beyond his and their St. Pius days. Also find the stories of our SPX fall sports champions and of Edie Bickel, an SPX senior who has taken her exploration of music across the globe, and much more!

This issue of Connections also explores the creative generosity of alumni like Frank Schubert ’78 and Charles Reynolds ’64 and how they are giving back to the school that formed them and its current and future students. Enjoy!

Sincerely,

Barbara M. Rothweiler, Ph.D.

Principal

Pursuing all her opportunities has been Sheilah Jennings’s ’04 driving force in navigating law school. “I just kept going for things, that was my attitude,” she says. “In leaving teaching I knew I was leaving something I loved doing, so I wanted to do well in law school and I wanted to make the most of it.”

“Fr. Eggert was a great mentor to a number of us and that continued after we graduated,” says Art Verardo ’64. “He attended our reunions and stayed in touch. He was an incredible human being.”

Admiration of Pueblo culture and a desire to build on the success and existing support of Pueblo students has led Charles Reynolds ’64 to establish the newest St. Pius X Foundation endowment. 

For St. Pius X senior Edie Bickel, learning 10 musical instruments has come naturally. “My mom says my native language is music,” she says with a smile.

St. Pius X Connections had the chance to sit down with Frank D. Schubert ’78, Chair of the Endowment/Planned Giving Committee of the St. Pius X High School Foundation and ask him some important questions about giving at St. Pius X Foundation.

Miss French inspired students from 1962 to 1985. We would love to gather your Miss French memories to publish in her honor.
