Congratulations to alumni Miguel Gonzalez ('19) on receiving the 2026 Outstanding Student Award from the University of Mary Physical Therapy Department!

We are excited to announce the recipient of the 2026 Outstanding Student Award is Miguel Gonzalez! Miguel modeled our Benedictine Values and excelled academically, but it is his professionalism, growth mindset, and kindness demonstrated to his patients, colleagues, and cohort that truly distinguished him. Miguel has been accepted to the orthopedic residency at Twin City Orthopedics. Congrats Miguel!

On Saturday, alumni Ben Bartch hosted a free youth football camp at Blanchet Catholic School. We are grateful to Ben for organizing this event and generously volunteering his time to help young athletes develop their skills, grow in confidence, and deepen their love for the game of football. Thank you, Ben, for giving back to the Blanchet community and inspiring the next generation of players!

We’re excited to share that we’ve finalized funding for the construction of a brand-new Multipurpose Center — a flexible, dynamic space that will feel much like our auxiliary gym. The plan is to build a new facility on the site of our current portable locker rooms. The great news is that we already have $2.5 million in funding secured to build the structure! While the building itself is funded, we now need to outfit the space. We're raising funds to provide essential equipment and furnishings for the new facility including: basketball hoops & volleyball standards, scoreboards, scorer’s table & shooting machine, lunch tables, PE & athletic equipment, and more. You can help us reach our goal by making a donation!

Thank you Father Jay for coming to celebrate Ash Wednesday Mass for us today. Today marks the beginning of Lent. Students received ashes at Mass, which is a sign of entrance into this penitential season where we learn to pray more, give with charity, and fast from worldly distractions that take us away from Christ. Wishing our entire Blanchet community a blessed Lenten season.
