2023 Inductees

Arts Hall of Fame

Awarded to an alumnus/alumna, faculty member or friend who’s contributions to the program or experience and achievements since being part of the program bring honor to Feehan and exemplify well the passion for artistic expression that is stoked here in our arts program.
No single person is more associated with Bishop Feehan band than long-time band director Joe Taylor. In two separate runs at Feehan, Taylor has led award-winning marching bands, orchestras, percussion ensembles and more. And more importantly, Taylor created a warm home and instilled a love of music for generations of Feehan musicians.

Athletics Hall of Fame

Awarded to an individual alumnus/alumna, coach, contributor or team who has contributed greatly to the athletic tradition of Bishop Feehan High School.

After decades of very busy spring and summer travel schedules, Jim Renner – arguably the most successful professional athlete ever launched from Feehan – is finally local and able to join us for his long-awaited hall induction.

Renner led a dominant, state-champion Feehan golf team, went on to a high-achieving college golf career, followed by nearly  20 years as a professional golfer, including 76 starts on the PGA Tour. Renner has several professional wins on his resume and a 2nd-place finish in the 2014 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am on the PGA Tour.

A goal-scoring sniper and captain for one of legendary Feehan hockey coach Vinnie Fagone’s earliest teams, Andrew (Andy) Gildea helped bridge a fledgling, relatively new Feehan hockey team into a new era of league and statewide success.
Coached by hall-of-famer Anne Carroll, the Feehan girls went on an unprecedented run to close out the 80s, winning four consecutive state championships with an 82-2 record over the four years.

Existing hall-of-famers Jennifer (Jackson) Bartlett ’90, Coach Anne Carroll, Kristin Cosgrove (Brooks) ’90, Heather Crowley (Theodore) ’88, Heather Hansen ’90, Paula Heagney (Silva) ’91, Diane Ison ’87, Jacquelyn Johnson (Dooley) ’89, Stacey Kaminski ’92, Darci O’Brien ’87, Bethann O’Donnell (Oliveira) ’88 will – in effect – be earning a second seat in the hall of fame, this time joined by all of their varsity teammates from their four-year run. 

The honorees are: Erin Aucella ’93, Melissa Barlow ’88, Jennifer (Jackson) Bartlett ’90, Amanda Blue (Fetter) '89, Coach Anne Carroll, Kristin Cosgrove (Brooks) ’90, Heather Crowley (Theodore) ’88, Sue Gilo (Brenneman) '87, Kara Glamore (Haskell) ’87, Jennifer Green (Vital) ’91, Heather Hansen ’90, Paula Heagney (Silva) ’91, Diane Ison ’87, Jacquelyn Johnson (Dooley) ’89, Stacey Kaminski ’92, Jennifer Kirby (Healey) ’87, Kathleen McCarthy ’91, Darci O’Brien ’87, Bethann O’Donnell (Oliveira) ’88, Jennie Ottinger (Anderson) ’89, Courtney Railton (Hamilton) '88

Distinguished Service Award

Awarded to friends of Feehan who’s unique contributions of time, talent and treasure have made a lasting impact on our school community. The loyal and exceptional Distinguished Service honorees a family that has embraced the spirit of Bishop Feehan and through their service, contributions and loyalty to the Feehan community, and have helped sustain the school’s mission over the years.

Perhaps nothing captures Deacon Joe McGinley’s impact better than to simply say that he is a worthy successor to the legacy of Sr. Pat Harrington.

Quietly, prayerfully and with a warm spirit, Deacon Joe has inspired our entire Feehan community to embrace Christ’s teaching of loving one another unconditionally. We likely will never know the true number of students for whom Joe was a lifeline in difficult moments, but there is no doubt that he served that role for many. When the Feehan community as a whole needed to join in prayer for AJ Quetta in 2021, it was Deacon Joe who brought us together.

Deacon Joe’s leadership of the school’s Imago Dei ministry has made Feehan a better, stronger and more welcoming school.

Kerry Latour (Lincoln) is the epitome of a Feehan grad who has never lost the passion for her alma mater. A long-time class ambassador, Kerry’s commitment became especially clear when she and her husband, Richard, moved back to Mansfield from California solely to enroll their daughter, Alexa ‘23, at Feehan in order to provide Alexa the same mercy-filled Feehan experience that Kerry values so greatly from the 80s.

And in the years since, Kerry’s commitment has only grown. She and Richard have been steering committee leaders for Feehan’s Daring to Believe Capital Campaign and recently served as co-chairs of the 2023 Setting Our Hearts Gala. Kerry has been a frequent and always-positive volunteer at Feehan and serves as a Corporator to the Feehan Board of Trustees.
