The 2023 Bishop Ryan Catholic School Cor Christi Gala will be held September 30th at the Clarion Hotel.
The 21st year of the event will continue the celebration of the tradition and future of Bishop Ryan.
(Fun fact: Cor Christi translates to "the Heart of Christ".)
This event is a celebration for all members of the Minot and Bishop Ryan communities,
and it's a night filled with enjoyment and entertainment, a delicious meal, and lots of lion pride!
Along with fun and fellowship, we'll also honor some very special Lions
for their dedication to Catholic education.
This year's Cor Christi Gala will include the honoring of Fr. William Fahnlander
on his induction into the Bishop Ryan Catholic School Hall of Fame.
A native of Minot and a St. Leo's graduate, Fr. Fahnlander was ordained in 1946.
Among other assignments, he served as principal of St. Leo's School until 1950,
then moved to Medora and Sentinel Butte where he began his tenure
at Home on the Range in 1955 as assistant superintendent.
