Our board members represent several generations of Conception alumni and do a great job helping to keep us all connected.

To assist our efforts, I invite our alumni to send their email addresses to the Alumni Office. We have approximately 450 alumni email addresses. This is a convenient way to keep in touch and alert you to news and happenings at Conception. So simply send a message to our office: alumni@conception.edu.

There are still 100 copies of the 2002 Alumni Directory available. If you'd like one, just send an email, or call (660) 944-2875.

I'm happy to announce that my confrere Father Patrick Caveglia (C67-69; T69-71), currently professor of ethics for Conception Seminary College will lead this summer’s retreat for priests, July 5-9 at Conception.

And plans are already in the works for the 2004 Alumni Reunion, Sept. 24-25. This year alumnus James Goettsche, longtime papal organist at the Vatican, will give an organ concert. He attended Conception High School in the mid-1950s on his way to an illustrious musical career.

Finally, we always welcome news updates from alumni. Let us know what new and interesting things you are involved with and we will publish them in Tower Topics.

Sincerely,



Rev. Peter Ullrich
Alumni Director
