Bishop Alfred A. Schlert 5th Bishop of the Diocese of Allentown
As a gift to Bishop Schlert during his Ordination Mass, he was presented with his official Bishop’s ring, called the Episcopal ring, which was a gift from the entire Notre Dame High School Crusader community, both past and present. We are sure that Bishop Schlert now wears this ring with great pride as he leads our Diocese and will forever be reminded of the faithful community at Notre Dame High School.
