Father Tierney steps down as President of Cardinal Hayes High School

July 14, 2020
 
Good morning to the Hayes Alumni! I hope you are all enjoying a restful and healthy summer.
 
I write to the Cardinal Hayes High School Alumni to inform you that I will be stepping down as President of Cardinal Hayes High School after serving sixteen years as President. I have been recently appointed by His Eminence, Cardinal Dolan to be the Pastor of the Church of St. Gregory the Great in Harrison, New York. (Westchester County).
 
I will take with me the many memories of my work with you in support of your alma mater and the rich history of what it has meant to you to be a “Hayesman”. In the last sixteen years, I have had the unique opportunity to meet you, listen to your many treasured stories and fond remembrances of your time here as a student. I want to thank you for your ‘loyal and true’ financial support you have shown to Hayes and ask that you continue to do so as our needs in this pandemic time have increased.
 
I want to express my sincere appreciation for all the good you have contributed to Hayes and to our young men by your attendance at school events and athletic games. I thank you for the words of encouragement and support you spoke our students during our Career Days and Alumni events. For the many opportunities you provided our students with in terms of mentorship, employment or advice, and God willing, will continue to provide for the current and future students of Hayes. For those times and for many other times you truly represented what it means to be a “Hayesman” for our students and school, I thank you!
 
I will treasure the many memories I have experienced over the past sixteen years as President of Hayes. I ask for your prayers as I begin my new pastoral assignment at St. Gregory’s, and please know of my continued prayers for the entire Hayes Family.
 
Up Hayes, and All its Loyal Men!
 
God bless,
Fr. Joe Tierney
