Fr. Allan Wolfe, who served as the school chaplain for the past 21 years stepped down from his position, allowing him to focus on his two parishes. Fr. Wolfe has been a staple of Lancaster Catholic High School, presiding over countless school Masses, commencements and other school functions. His smiling face will be missed in the hallways on an almost daily occurrence, but we know he will not be a stranger to Catholic High.
