Our Mission calls us to live and share the teachings of the Catholic Church by creating a compassionate atmosphere which develops faith, service, and academic excellence.
May Non-Uniform Day—Monday, May 7, dollar donations will support the Jay Balchunas Memorial Scholarship Fund. Jay is the son of Mary
Kay Balchunas, eighth grade classroom aid, and a Holy Apostles Alumnus. Jay’s siblings, Linda Lamm and Dan Balchunas, and his nephews, Bryan & Andy Lamm, are Holy Apostles alumni, also. Jay was a Wisconsin Department of Justice Special Agent when he was shot and killed while on Duty in 2004. The Jay Balchunas Memorial Scholarship Fund has been established to
honor the memory of this kind and selfless young man who gave willingly and without a second thought to so many in the Wisconsin communities. Scholarship funds have been established at Marquette University and Waukesha County Technical College to further the education and careers of those pursuing jobs in Criminology and Fire Science, respectively. Mary Kay uses Jay’s life example to say, “How can we love?” and by “looking for grace in the world through others, knowing Christ lives in them.” Thank you for honoring Jay’s legacy and supporting the careers of law enforcement personnel and first response teams.
Next year, we are celebrating the 125th Anniversary of our school! To commemorate this amazing milestone, we invite you to enjoy a great day of golf and a celebratory dinner with fellow Holy Apostles supporters! Learn more and register now! All proceeds benefit our H.A. STEM
program and the purchase of an additional 3D printer!
