Paul and Mary Hemmer knew the importance of education, especially Catholic education. They both attended Saint Benedict Grade School in Covington where they met in the 1st grade. Both received scholarships to Catholic high schools, Paul to Saint Xavier High School and Mary to Villa Madonna Academy. Their Catholic education provided them with a strong foundation that helped them to become successful and upstanding members of their community and church.
After earning a degree in civil engineering from UC, Paul worked for his father’s construction company, helping it to expand to a real estate development company. He then went on to help found Paul Hemmer Companies. In addition to running a thriving business, Paul was involved in civic, religious, and educational causes. He had leadership positions in many local organizations, including Thomas More University, University of Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky University, Chamber of Commerce, and United Way. Mary went on to nursing school and became a nurse at Saint Elizabeth Hospital. She was a Eucharistic minister, school volunteer, and a member of various prayer groups and religious organizations such as Legatus.
Paul and Mary passed on their love of education to their eight children, providing them with a Catholic grade school and high school education. All of their children are college graduates, many with advanced degrees. Wanting to share their belief in the value of education, Paul and Mary have extended their generosity to the community, contributing money and setting up scholarships to many local Catholic schools, including Saint Henry District School.
