“Catholic Memorial High School is a premiere place for Catholic Education.
With strong faith and unwavering Catholic identity, a CMH student is prepared
to meet the challenges of modern society. By keeping the Blessed Mother
front and center, like the new Our Lady of Memorial Chapel will be for the
school, a CMH student is emboldened to go forth and transform the world.
I’m proud to claim Catholic Memorial as part of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee.”

Most Reverend Jerome E. Listecki
Archbishop of Milwaukee

IN HONOR OF THOSE WHO MADE THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE
Catholic Memorial High School was dedicated in 1949 to remember
the 23 young men of St. Joseph’s Parish in Waukesha who gave their
lives serving their country in World War II. Since then, six alumni have
been added to this honor roll.
Construction of the new chapel will include a formal Memorial Wall
to honor the 29 fallen servicemen for whom Catholic Memorial High
School is a living memorial.

HOLDING ONTO OUR LEGACY—LOOKING TO THE FUTURE
The plans for the Our Lady of Memorial Chapel reflect our
commitment to Catholic Identity and the values that are the pillars
of The Memorial Way. Great thought has been given to incorporate
elements of our past as well as the distinctiveness that truly makes
CMH unique.
Some elements to note are:
• Statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary currently being displayed in the

school’s Our Lady of the Rosary Chapel. It was donated in 1954
and will continue to be displayed in the new chapel.
• Octagonal Shape to remind us that the dome of Heaven reaches
down to meet the Earth in the Sacrament which we celebrate.
• Stations of the Cross that currently hang in the Our Lady of the
Rosary Chapel and will find a new home in Our Lady of Memorial
Chapel.
• Altar and Holy Water Fonts made of Aurisina Italian Marble and
holding the relics of Saints Modestinus and Innocentia. These
important keepsakes were donated in 1962 and will be relocated
to the new chapel.
