Generations Together: Celebrating Chapelle’s Legacy Mass Archbishop Chapelle High School welcomed over 450 alumnae to campus for our annual Legacy Mass and Lunch, a beloved tradition celebrating the generations of women who remain Loyal to Green & White. Mothers, daughters, grandmothers, aunts, and siblings gathered with their legacy students for a morning filled with faith, family, and Chapelle pride. Seeing generations come together was a beautiful reminder that the bonds formed at Chapelle extend far beyond graduation. A Colorful Celebration of Tradition One of the most memorable sights of the morning was the gathering of senior sweaters in so many different colors, each representing a graduating class and its own treasured memories. Together, those sweaters told a larger story: generations of young women who have found friendship, faith, and a home at Chapelle. Sharing that tradition with today’s students made the morning especially meaningful. One Big Chapelle Family An especially moving moment was singing the Alma Mater together as one big Chapelle family. With alumnae and current students joining their voices, the words connected generations through a shared love for their school. Following Mass, families enjoyed lunch together, giving them time to reconnect, share memories, and make new ones on the campus that means so much to them. A Morning to Remember Legacy Mass is one of the best days of the year, and this year was no exception. Its joy comes from the people who return, the traditions they share, and the faith that brings our community together. Thank you to everyone who joined us and made this morning so special. Whether your Chapelle story began decades ago or is still being written, you will always be part of our family.

Leading with Faith: Campus Ministry Students Serve at St. Philip Neri Retreat On September 25, members of the Chapelle and Rummel Campus Ministry Retreat Teams came together to lead a retreat for the 7th graders at St. Philip Neri. The day offered opportunities for reflection, connection, and prayer, centered on St. Philip Neri’s theme for the year: “Jesus, meek and humble of heart, make our hearts like yours.” Growing in the Heart of Jesus Throughout the retreat, the 7th graders heard talks from our student leaders exploring three meaningful questions: How can we see ourselves the way Jesus does? How can we allow our hearts to become more like His? And how can we love others as Jesus loves us? These reflections invited students to recognize their worth in Christ, grow in humility and compassion, and consider how they can reflect His love in their everyday relationships. Bringing Everything to Jesus To close the day, students and retreat leaders spent time together in Eucharistic adoration, bringing their reflections, prayers, and intentions to Jesus. This time of prayer offered a meaningful conclusion to a day filled with fun and community. Faith in Action For our Campus Ministry students, leading a retreat is an opportunity to put their faith into action. By sharing their experiences and accompanying younger students, they practice leadership rooted in service and help others grow in their relationship with Christ.  We are grateful to St. Philip Neri for welcoming our retreat teams and to our partners at Rummel for serving alongside us. Thank you to our student leaders for sharing their faith and helping make this a special day of fun, community, and prayer!

Alumna Career Engagement Spotlight: Lauryn Ashley Richard ’09 Archbishop Chapelle High School was grateful to welcome Lauryn Ashley Richard ’09 back to campus as an Alumna Career Engagement Speaker. Lauryn shared her passion for mental healthcare and offered students a firsthand look at her work as a psychiatric consultant in the emergency department at Children’s Hospital. Supporting Patients in Times of Crisis In her role, Lauryn performs psychiatric evaluations for patients experiencing mental health crises, behavioral concerns, and psychosis. These evaluations help her determine the most appropriate next steps for each patient, including whether they can safely return home or need inpatient psychiatric support. Her responsibilities also include prescribing medications for short-term use following discharge or for urgent treatment during an acute crisis in the emergency department. Her work calls for thoughtful decision-making, compassion, and a commitment to patient safety. Lauryn described acquiring the education and skills needed to help her patients as a privilege. Her enthusiasm for sharing her work gave students a meaningful look at a career dedicated to supporting children and families during difficult moments. Connecting Classroom Learning to Career Possibilities Chapelle’s Alumna Career Engagement Program helps students explore potential career paths through connections with graduates working in a variety of fields. Hearing directly from alumnae gives students insight into professional responsibilities, the education and skills different careers require, and the ways they can use their talents to serve others. For students considering healthcare or mental health professions, Lauryn’s visit offered a valuable perspective on the important role psychiatric care plays in an emergency setting. Experiences like these help students connect their interests to future opportunities and make more informed decisions about life beyond Chapelle. Inspiring the Next Generation We are grateful to Lauryn for sharing her time, knowledge, and passion with our students. Her dedication to her patients is a wonderful example of how Chapelle alumnae make a meaningful difference in their communities.  Thank you, Lauryn, for returning to campus and helping our Chipmunks envision their futures!
