SIDNEY – The annual Lehman Catholic Scholarship Reception was held at Lehman Catholic High School in the Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton Chapel on Tuesday, Aug. 2. More than 75 people gathered for a celebration bringing together Lehman Catholic student recipients of named scholarships and the donors who make it possible. Donors and students met with one another, sharing their Lehman bond and the ways that scholarships have impacted both of their lives.

“This is such a special event,” noted Melissa Bennett, executive director of development. “Saint Teresa Calcutta reminds us to do something beautiful for God. These gifts are a living example of doing something beautiful for God; the gift of growing young people in body, mind and soul.”

This year 51 Lehman Catholic students were awarded scholarships totaling $48,500. This is only made possible because of the generosity of scholarship donors and their shared commitment to the Lehman Catholic family.
