For those not so up to snuff on Christian history, he is the Biblical figure who asked Pontius Pilate for Christ's body, and offered over his own tomb as a place to inter Jesus. He is a canonized saint in the Catholic Church. There are quite a few interesting articles on the program if you Google the society in Louisville. Here are the links to a few of the high school chapters of the society around the Archdiocese of Louisville.

September 11, 201313 yr Author Did you send this to Al H? Per Al Hertsenberg and Bill Snyder, although they don't have a formal chapter of the St. Joseph of Arimathea Society at Cov Cath, they have been providing a funeral detail to have students on hand and serving as pallbearers for indigent funerals in Kenton County for some time now. Makes me pretty proud to be involved with one of the schools providing this honorable service to the dead.

September 18, 201313 yr Looks like somebody's been reading BluegrassPreps.... Cov Cath students are stand-in pallbearers I first thought "wow they organized that quickly. " I then read they started this last year. No surprise since Bill Snyder and Al H are involved. I don't know all of the boys in the picture but if you told me to guess who the boys were two of my guesses would have been Mark Schult and Tom Ryan. No brainers.
