Mount Saint Joseph Academy awards Maple Leaf Award to two 1968 classmates
Mount Saint Joseph Academy presented the Maple Leaf Award to two members of the class of 1968 during its annual Alumnae Weekend. The reunion took place on August 22 and 23, 2026, in Maple Mount, Kentucky.
The weekend included a themed event at St. Martin Parish Hall and a gathering of nearly 90 alumnae at the academy. During the Sunday Mass at the Motherhouse Chapel, Father Ray Goetz presided for his final alumnae Mass before his retirement this fall as the academy chaplain.
During the Alumnae Association business meeting, members unanimously decided to donate $1,000 each to four ministries, including Casa Ursulina, where Sister Mimi Ballard ’66 serves. Alumnae Association officers Alicia Harrington ’82 and Lisa Calhoun Mulligan ’75 also read the names of deceased alumnae during the Mass.
