Date Listed: 7/29/03 (1/15/2011) 325 S. Peterson Ave, Unit 101 Louisville, KY 40206 (502) 553-7727 I bet I was the only CP who flunked a course at Bellarmine--French. Had to take an American History course at Ursuline College on Lexington Road while everyone else went off to Warrenton for the summer--got to drive the car though--took some side trips. I would never have graduated if it had not been for Jim Bobula. Jim, I did go back to school ten years later. Been working for the same health care company for the past twenty-three years--at thirty-five years of age, they offered me $13,000 and I couldn't refuse. Have worked hard over the years and rewards accelerated. I'm still working at it. Remember the Pieper posters on an easel as you descended the winding staircase from the chapel on the way to the refectory the night before a fierce Bellarmine intramural football game--the fierce part John Swalina and Steve George and all those who fought so valiantly would know about. The posters were caricatures of our rivals and ourselves--a moment of lightheartedness before a display of prowess. Bruce Brennan never liked me very much anyway, but the day concrete trucks rolled in to pour the floor in the barn, standing knee deep in concrete, he came close to hitting me up the side of the head with a shovel—it was something about the concrete being too dry or too wet. The barn may fall some day, but that floor will remain forever. Who helped one summer day Phil Blount and I painted all the green benches in the courtyard bright colors--one of those fleeting moments when I thought I had gone too far. Fr. Frank got upset–as he was duty bound–but allowed life to go on. |

Date Listed: 7/7/2021 Fr Roger Mercurio C.P. († 1918-2001) "Born John Valentine Mercurio on February 14, 1918 in St. Louis, Missouri, he was the son of Peter Mercurio and Cecilia Stroehle. He went to school at Cathedral Latin in 1931 and then went on to St. Louis Prep. His father had a subscription to Sign Magazine and young John was attracted to the stories of the China missions. When a friend enrolled at the Passionist seminary, he went to visit him and this eventually led him to decide to study there in August 1936. In June 1937 he went to St. Paul, Kansas for novitiate and professed his vows on July 17, 1938. From 1938 until 1941 he was assigned to Detroit, Michigan where he had the opportunity to study Italian." Read More...

I am fortunate that after leaving the Passionists I was able to spend my life in some form of church-related ministry. This September, I will celebrate 30 years as an ethicist. I am very much interested in a reunion. I am very proud of my formative years in the Passionists--great memories and a tremendous blessing. My class (1965-1968) had great fun and got great reactions from the other Bellarmine students when we told them we were going to the monastery for noon-time Sext. They didn't always hear the (t) and were more than eager to join us. |

Date Listed: 1/15/2011 6342 N. Nokomis Chicago, IL 60646 (773) 775-1956 Bellarmine 66-67. Transferred to DePaul University (Chicago), January 68. B.A. Political Science 1970. City of Chicago, Civil Service Commission (Dept. of Personnel) 1970-1973. In November of 1973 I was selected for a position in the federal government at the General Services Administration (Chicago) Personnel Department. Worked for GSA until 1977 when I received a promotion to the Chicago District personnel office of the Internal Revenue Service. I stayed with IRS for 26+ years, and was lucky to have had progressively more responsible personnel and training positions in the local, regional and national offices of the IRS without ever having to move out of Chicago. While working for the City of Chicago I met, dated and eventually married Elizabeth Haney. I'm sure Beth wonders why she ever agreed to marry me but we've had a great time together. We celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary in June of 2004. We have no children. I first stumbled on this web site when John Hollon tracked me down about two months before the reunion in Louisville. I was excited...and apprehensive about the reunion. Now the reunion has taken place and I have no idea why I was apprehensive. I had a fabulous time renewing old friendships and meeting new people, and my wife really enjoyed meeting everyone. The gang who planned the reunion did a great job. everything about the weekend was wonderful. Thank you so much. |

Date Listed: 7/8/03 751 Beechwood Ave. Cincinnati, OH 45232 (513) 542-2576 Jim has his masters in social work, is partially retired, works 3 days a week for a local EAP (Employee Assistance Program) and teaches one half day a week at Xavier University. Susan is still an RN with an added degree in adult education (bachelor's) and an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant who teaches and counsels breast-feeding moms and dads. Jim - St. Joseph Orphanage for many years as treatment director, now Trihealth --- Susan CEA and Trihealth. We've been married for 32 years. Our three children are grown-none married. Jen, the oldest, lives with her partner, Michael, who is a psychologist. Jen is a yoga teacher in private practice. Middle son Brian graduated XU in communications, wrote a book of poetry, and is in general, exploring the worlds of working for established businesses here and in Georgia, and self-employed computer services here and in Texas, as he tries to find a life partner and figure out the universe. Peter, the youngest, after ten years as a professional ballet dancer, is working at Starbucks and going to the art academy. All are in Cincinnati, at present. Mary Huhn and Susan (I) just returned from visiting with Raph and Mary B. in Naples, FL. We stayed in Marsha's house in Naples, which she constantly loans out to all her friends. Jim attended a reunion of several ex-Passionists in Hawaii a few years ago. It was held at Pat O'Malley's. If you want to catch up on some of the "older men" of the order, e.g. Gus,Hugh, Mel Spehn, Marty Thommes, Joe Connolly, Kevin, etc. Here's Tom Auciello's website: www.puciello.com. He married Carol Pucci, also from the monastery crowd, and they live in Seattle. Mary just saw David Huston at a party at Barb (Kessen) and Van Sondgerath's. David lives in Knoxville, TN. Lucy Leuthold is now called Brunner; they have 3 grown daughters. We are godparents to the oldest, Angela. The Brunners are in Cinci. We hear from Larry and MaryAnn Grauvogel at Christmas every year. They live in Indiana. The time you speak of was a magic watershed for all of us—life-changing, opening our spiritual lives to new possibilities as the RC Church changed with so much promise. It will take generations for the promises to be realized. |
