John Boehner 8TH DISCTRICT OF OHIO

“I am proud of my Catholic education; it has helped define my character, strengthen my morality and make me the man, husband, father, and grandfather I am,” said Rep. Chabot, who represents Ohio’s First Congressional District.  “From my elementary days at Holy Family and St. Catherine's, to my high school years at LaSalle, my Catholic education has cultivated my virtues and taught me to stand up for what I believe is right.  It has taught me fortitude, humility and optimism.  Quite simply, I would not be the man I am without my Catholic education.”

“I am so blessed to have had the opportunity to receive a faith-based education from St. Xavier, where I was taught the importance of true virtue and service – the foundation of what empowers our youth to become leaders who make positive change in the world,” said Rep. Wenstrup, who took office in January as the new representative of Ohio’s Second Congressional District.  “My high school experience taught me the value of integrity and leading by example.  These lessons have helped me tremendously throughout my career.”

"I am proud to stand with fellow graduates of the Greater Catholic League who represent the values of not only my hometown of Cincinnati but also America as a whole,” said Rep. Radel, a first-term representative serving Florida’s 19^th Congressional District.  “I also want to give a shout out to my alma mater, Elder High School.  Go Panthers!"

“I have 11 brothers and sisters, and one of the greatest gifts my parents gave us was the gift of a Catholic education,” said Boehner, one of 12 siblings, all of whom attended Cincinnati-area Catholic schools.  “My brothers and I all went to Moeller, and it made a big difference in our lives.  I’m proud to join with my colleagues and fellow Cincinnati-area Catholic high school grads in celebrating our region’s proud tradition of excellence in Catholic education.”
