Montini CatholicIn 1963, the Diocese of Joliet invited the De La Salle ChristianBrothers to sponsor and manage a new Catholic High Schoolin the Lombard area. On June 21st of that same year, PopePaul VI, whose family name was Giovanni (John) Battista (Baptist) Montini, was elected to the Papacy.  In his honor, the De La Salle Christian Brothers named the school MontiniCatholic High School.  In 1966, Montini Catholic opened itsdoors to 217 freshmen.
