  Handing Down the Faith - It is individuals, parents, grandparents, etc. who bring the faith to children. They do this by living, sharing, and passing their faith down. Bishop Hogan helps in this process by teaching how to live and share the faith. Every day the school stresses how to be "apostles". For more information on Bishop Hogan School, please contact the office at 660-646-0705. Help your child (children) become apostles.

Please know that Bishop Hogan does not always follow the Chillicothe Public School District calendar. We follow the schedule for Bishop Hogan.

The hallway, gymnasium and classrooms of Bishop Hogan Memorial School took on a Polynesian atmosphere as the school hosted its seventh annual dinner and auction Saturday night with the theme "Island Dreams." The entryway was festively decorated with palm trees, coconuts and balloons and led to the gymnasium where dinner was served and a live auction took place. Upon arrival, guests received the traditional Hawaiian greeting of floral leis.

Prior to the meal, guests meandered through the hallway and classrooms where they could place bids on hundreds of items up for sale in the silent auction. After dinner, the live auction of 68 items took place.

The event benefits Chillicothe’s only Catholic school and this year’s dinner and auction brought in around $51,000 through table sponsorships, the auctions and a drawing. Money raised pays for the direct operational costs of the school and funds about 12 percent of the school's operating expenses, according to Father Tom Hermes, principal of Bishop Hogan School and pastor of St. Columban Catholic Church.

CAPTIONS: Around 350 people attended the annual dinner and auction to raise funds for the operating costs of BH Memorial School. Auctioneer Mike Miller donned a Hawaiian shirt, lei, and grass skirt as he worked the auction. Clerks ring up the total for buyers at the end of the auction.
