We will keep you up-to-date on future events and hope all of you are staying safe and coping as best you can during this pandemic.

Ensuring the health and safety of our alums is our top priority. Please know that you are in our daily thoughts and prayers.

Friday, September 11 Golf Outing 

Due to the coronavirus, we had to make some changes in how we move forward with this year’s golf outing.   These guidelines might change before the outing and we will accommodate as required. Changes this year are necessary to keep our alums safe and healthy.

Mark your calendar for Friday, September 11 for our annual Golf Outing at Grantwood Golf Course, 38855 Aurora Road in Solon, Ohio.  The driving range will be open at 8:30 a.m. followed by a shotgun start at 9:30 a.m.  Two golfers per cart is allowed, but if you feel uncomfortable you can request your own cart.  A maximum of 84 golfers is allowed so we encourage you to secure your reservation by August 15.  Masks are encouraged, but not required at this time.

Winking Lizard will serve delicious burgers and sausages at the turn, followed by a BBQ dinner in the outdoor pavilion (no indoor dining) at 3:30 p.m.  There will be no kegs but canned beer, water, pop and Gatorade will be offered.

Unfortunately, we will not have a skins game or skills game.  Our 50/50 raffle will be done on-line by credit card or you can mail a check to the alumni office.  A payment of $10 gets your name entered in the drawing.  You can also buy multiple tickets.

We are also looking for hole sponsors.  For a cost of $125, we will place a purple and gold sign on the course.  It’s a great way to advertise your name or company and it’s tax deductible.  This event is our only fundraiser for the alumni association, so please consider a donation for hole sponsorship.

We encourage you to secure your reservation by August 15.  The cost is $125 per golfer, which includes driving range, golf with cart, lunch, dinner and beverages.  If you would like to attend dinner only, the cost is $40.  Mail check made payable to Cathedral Latin Alumni to the alumni office or register by credit card on-line at www.clatin.org.   Payments must be received in advance (checks or credit card).  We do not want to handle cash.

2020 Spring Alumnotes – Click here to view.

In our Spring 2020 Alumnotes issue, we included a story on a very generous donation made to NDCL by Gene and Barbara Trela. The story, titled “ Eugene ’54 & Barbara Trela Make Gift to NDCL”, included a statement that was not correct. The statement read as follows:

“Gene hopes that his gift inspires other alums to make a donation to the Brother Frank Endowed Scholarship so future students may attain a quality Catholic education as he and others did.”

The statement shown above is not correct. Gene Trela never made this statement nor did he ever express this hope to anyone.

Please note that the Trela Endowed Scholarship will provide financial aid to any student of modest means to enable them to attend NDCL and benefit from the fine Catholic education available there.

We sincerely apologize to all alumni and especially to Gene and Barbara Trela for the incorrect report on their generous gift.

The Cathedral Latin Alumni Association would like to make a meaningful impact at NDCL.

This is a video of the 1965/66 Cathedral Latin Marching Band at the annual Christmas Parade in downtown Cleveland, OH.  They were considered one of the top bands in northeast Ohio.  Among their many accomplishments, they were given the honor to play for President Lyndon B. Johnson and perform the Star Spangle Banner on opening day for the Cleveland Indians.
