JOURNEY
Fall/Winter 2021

Inside this Issue of Journey
Love one another as I have loved you.
There is a story through oral tradition that John the Apostle – one of the Twelve, evangelist of the Gospel, and author of three letters in the New Testament – was known for giving the same homily every Sunday in the early days of the 1st century Church.
Those homilies focused on the commandment of Jesus to “love one another as I have loved you.” When asked by his followers why he never changed his message, John told the early Christians that during the 3 years he traveled with the Lord, the instruction to love one another was the teaching that Jesus most often repeated.
The core truth of our faith might be summed up in a single word.
Love.
In the Augustinian tradition, the virtue of love is expressed as caritas.
The 2021-2022 theme for this academic year, “Love one another as I have loved you” (John 13:34), puts St. John’s words out front. Love is about sacrifice for others.
The decision of the Bannabikira Sisters to come to Austin Prep – a new place, a new community, a new country 7,000 miles from home – is an act of unconditional love, similar to the love that mothers have for their children.
The arrival of the Bannabikira Sisters is a blessing and special opportunity to deepen Austin Prep’s connection to a global
world, to broaden perspectives about culture, race and the lived experiences of others, and to advance the work we do to spread the Kingdom of God in partnership with the joyful Daughters of Mary.
In the parable of the Good Samaritan, the Samaritan did not turn his back and depart from the man who was attacked by thieves, left for dead on the road to Jericho, and then ignored by the priests who just kept walking. The Samaritan cared for the wounds of the injured man, put him on a donkey, and took the injured man to an inn, tended to his needs, and cared for him.
St. Augustine observed that “There is no one in the human race to whom we do not owe love.” For our world to be better, for our world to be more empathetic, for our world to be more just, for more love to proliferate, we need more Samaritans. From caritas will flow the conversion of mind and heart towards greater love, justice, and respect in the world.
Here’s to a year filled with acts of kindness, acts of selflessness, acts of generosity. Here’s to a year and beyond full of caritas.
And to more Samaritans.

Bannabikira Sisters: Living the Spirit of Motherhood of the Blessed Virgin Mary at Austin Prep
This summer Sr. Mary Namutebi, D.M. and Sr. Paskazia Nakitende, D.M. were welcomed into the Austin Prep family. They are the first two Bannabikira Sisters (Daughters of Mary) to arrive at Austin Prep from Uganda.
As Head of School Dr. James Hickey wrote upon their arrival, these sisters are “a blessing and a special opportunity to deepen Austin Prep’s connection to a global world, to broaden our horizons and perspectives about culture, race and the lived experiences of others, and to advance the work we do in the Lord’s Vineyard to spread the Kingdom of God in partnership with the joyful women in the Daughters of Mary.”
Founded in 1910, the Daughters of Mary are a Pontifical religious congregation, and the first indigenous group south of the sahara. Their vocation is to teach young people, and to care for the sick and poor.
On October 1, 2021, His Eminence Sean Cardinal O’Malley, Archbishop of Boston inaugurated the Daughters of Mary.
Austin Prep School Chaplain Fr. Patrick Armano was instrumental working with the Archdiocese of Boston and Ugandan officials on the logistics to make this journey possible. According to Sr. Jane Frances Nabakaawa, U.S. coordinator of the Daughters of Mary, the sisters’ charism is predicated on the Blessed Mother’s important role of intercession at the Wedding Feast of Cana, “The need of the wedding couple was simple – they ran out of wine for their guests. The Mother of God intercedes on their behalf to provide them with a modest amount of wine. The sisters serve in the same way. They devote their time and service to helping others with their everyday needs.”
Sister Mary Namutebi comes to Austin Prep by way of Seattle University, a Jesuit School in Washington, where she earned a Bachelors of Arts in Theology. When asked why she became a Munnabikira sister, she says “Growing up, I wanted to become a lawyer to be a voice for the voiceless. However, I discovered that I would be limited to serving only people with legal issues. I made up my mind to become a religious. I was surrounded with many religious communities, but the charism and mission of Bannabikira aligned with my desire to serve.”

Sister Mary has not been home to see her family, including her parents, two younger sisters and two younger brothers, in four years. “I miss everything. I miss being in person with my family.” Yet she finds solace knowing that one of her sisters and her aunt also serve with the Daughters of Mary, and her uncle is a priest, “You can say it is a family deep in faith.”
Sister Paskazia Nakitende’s journey is similar to Sister Mary’s. She, too, earned her undergraduate and graduate degrees at Seattle University in Washington and she has been away from home for five years. “I was inspired to join Bannabikira by my father’s work in the Church. He is a Catechist and I wanted to follow in his footsteps. At the age of 10, I met the Bannabikira Sisters who were doing the same work as him.” She is one of eight children, and the only Religious in her family.
Both Sister Mary and Sister Paskazia are teaching Theology at Austin Prep. Three more sisters, one still in Seattle, and two now in Kampala, will join them as soon as visas are arranged.
Together they will form a religious community, strengthening our Austin Prep community.
In the spirit of the Bannabikira, the sisters joined our community with little more than the clothes on their back.
Austin Prep was fortunate to secure a former rectory to become a de facto convent for the sisters. With the help of Fr. David Lewis, Pastor of St. Adelaide’s Parish in Peabody, they now have a wonderful place to call home.
Austin Prep Assistant Head of School Administration & Special Projects Sue Belanger was charged with mobilizing the school community to provide necessary furnishings and supplies to create a comfortable home. And the community met the call.
Creatively setting up a list like a wedding register, Ms. Belanger asked for everything needed from linens and curtains to televisions and kitchenware. Within 48 hours, every request was fulfilled. “We even had parents calling to say there was
nothing left to select, and asking if they could make a monetary donation,” Ms. Belanger reports. “The generosity of Austin Prep families and friends was truly inspiring.”
A handyman at St. Adelaide’s also located an altar from another closed church and redesigned and installed it in a dedicated room in the rectory to serve as a chapel for the sisters.
Sister Mary says, “I am overwhelmed by the warm welcome Sister Paskazia and I have received.” She continues, “We are excited to do what we can as part of the Austin Prep family.”
Fr. Armano, who also serves as the sisters’ part time chauffeur until they earn their driver’s licenses, says he is pleased that Austin Prep students will get to experience the joy of being educated in part by religious sisters as generations past have.
Sister Mary and Sister Paskazia are settling into the daily activities of life at Austin Prep. The Sisters are teaching both Upper and Middle School students. The topics they cover in

class range from the Life of Christ and the Sacraments to topics in Church History and Christian Leadership. In addition to their work in the classroom, the sisters are now overseeing the Campus Ministry Office. In their important role as Campus Ministers the sisters work collaboratively with the Office of Diversity and Inclusion, Theology and Service, and the School Chaplain.
As COVID has curtailed much of the work of Campus Ministry such as retreats, the sisters are spending time planning and preparing for upcoming events. They have set up a new Campus Ministry Office in which students are welcomed during breaks and free-blocks to visit with each other and the sisters.
Sister Paskazia notes how impressed she is by the academic environment at Austin Prep: “I was just a student myself a short time ago, so I can tell which of my students are truly focused and working hard.”
“If God would approve your actions, there is no need to fear because you are on earth to please Him not me nor anyone else.”
Regina Nambirige, mother of Sr. Mary
When asked if there is someone who has been influential in her life, Sister Mary shared, “My mother. I think I am who I am because of her. Regardless of her being the first teacher of both my faith and my moral behaviors, she has lived an exemplary life for me to follow. She usually says ‘If God would approve your actions, there is no need to fear because you are on earth to please Him not me nor anyone else.’”
For Sister Paskazia, Mother Mary is her guide and influence. “She is the mother to all.”
The sisters are among more than 900 women in the Daughters of Mary, sharing their knowledge and experiences with the students they teach just as their mothers and Mother Mary have done for them.
Fr. Jorges Reyes O.S.A., Austin Prep’s Director of Mission and Inclusion, is also delighted by the arrival of the sisters. “St. Augustine reminds us that all people are created in the image and likeness of God. He wrote about the importance of finding a place in a larger, more diverse community.”
With the arrival of the sisters at Austin Prep, our community is richer in faith and deeply blessed by their presence.

A Ph.D. in biochemistry is not required to make a cup of coffee, but that’s exactly what Maryanne O’Donnell P’20, ’22, ’23, ’25 brings to her latest venture.
While visiting Charleston, SC, where two of her six children attend college, O’Donnell was looking for a coffee shop and she discovered a local spot that inspired her.
Named Bitty and Beau’s Coffee, the shop was part of a remarkable chain founded in 2016 in Wilmington, NC by Amy and Ben Wright, proud parents of four including daughter Bitty and son Beau, both born with Down syndrome.
At the time, approximately 80% of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities were unemployed nationwide. The Wrights believed they could create opportunities that would help their children and others become more valued, accepted, and included in their community.
This fresh thinking led to the launch of Bitty and Beau’s Coffee, employing 19 disabled people which experienced immediate success and requests for franchises began soon after.
The 53-year-old mother of three boys and three girls, Maryanne, also suffered a late-term miscarriage of another son, named Max, who had Down syndrome. “I never forget Max, and often wonder what his life might have looked like. So, when I sat down at Bitty and Beau’s Coffee, I was moved and wondered if I could create a place like this in my hometown of Melrose.
After consulting with her family, including her three older brothers and parents, she was encouraged to apply for a
franchise. One brother, David, a former corporate CFO, even volunteered to partner with her to fill in any experiential gaps running a business.
The Wrights provide each franchise with coffee beans and arrange local partnerships for pastries and other supplies.
When they held a hiring fair in Melrose more than 80 applicants answered the call. Only 26 could be hired, but Maryanne was inspired by the turnout. “I would have hired them all if I could.”
The shop had a grand opening in August and was immediately met with an enthusiastic audience. Maryanne said she was also grateful for the support from members of the Austin Prep community.
“Besides the friends and classmates of my children, Austin Prep parents, teachers, coaches, and administrators have become regulars, both as customers and as part of the team.
One family in particular has been embraced by the Bitty & Beau’s Coffee family, and Roger and Joy Kruppa could not be happier, “Working at Bitty & Beau’s has been a wonderful experience for both of our teenagers, Mia, who has Down syndrome and is a sophomore at Reading Memorial High School, and Damon, Austin Prep alumnus class of 2020 and a current sophomore at the College of the Holy Cross. Mia is currently serving as an order caller and Damon as a shift supervisor. Not only are they gaining valuable job skills, but the opportunity to be employed by a company that embraces inclusion and acceptance and fosters an atmosphere of respect and positivity is truly inspirational. We are indebted to franchise

co-owner Maryanne O’Donnell and her brother David as well as Bitty & Beau’s Coffee founders, Amy and Ben Wright, for their vision, passion and commitment. We join with all of them in the hope that more businesses will embrace the need and benefit of providing employment opportunities for individuals with developmental and physical disabilities. If you haven’t visited the Melrose Bitty & Beau’s Coffee location yet, we encourage you to do so soon because you’ll be very impressed. The spirit of the place is infectious; the coffee and food are really delicious, and there’s awesome merchandise available to purchase. Plus you’ll be supporting a worthwhile venture that is making a significant difference in the lives of the individuals, their families and the community in general.”
It’s more than a coffee shop – It’s a movement. Overwhelmed by the turnout, O’Donnell told local news media covering the event “It’s all worth it – seeing employees learn their jobs, feeling pride and a sense of dignity. They have independence and can be recognized for the gifts they have.”
Located at 462 Main St. in Melrose, the local Bitty & Beau’s Coffee is open daily from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
“It’s all worth it –seeing employees learn their jobs, feeling pride and a sense of dignity. ey have independence and can be recognized for the gifts they have. ”

at Austin SPORT growing fastest The PREP
In 2019 Austin Prep’s Director of Athletics Patrick Driscoll ’97 brought his vision of a club field hockey team at Austin Prep to life under the experienced leadership of Brianna Robbins. Ms. Robbins, who was working in the Office of External Affairs at the time, was a former varsity player and captain at Lasell University. Growing-up in Auburn, Maine and playing in competitive leagues throughout her youth, Ms. Robbins had the know-how and skills to build a program from scratch.
That first season was spent recruiting 14-15 students who may have grown tired of other sports and eager to try something new. Under the coaching of Ms. Robbins, these new recruits attended weekday practices on Fr. Seymour Field at 6:00 a.m. before the school day began; then showed up again on Sundays to go at it again.
The girls who came from the ice hockey team had to learn new rules, the toughest of which “no backhands.” Their willingness to take these new challenges impressed Coach Robbins. “We even have two goalies willing to don the heavy protective equipment,” says Coach Robbins.
Seeing the dedication and determination of this small group and convinced that the school had all of the needed parts,
Mr. Driscoll knew it was time to “Go big or go home,” and offered Ms. Robbins the Varsity Coach position.
The original club players, all underclassmen, enthusiastically met the challenges and recruited friends to the sport. Local college coaches were on campus running camps and clinics throughout the summer. Word about the new Austin Prep team began to spread beyond 101 Willow Street.

“It is a privilege to set the tone of the program’s culture that will be passed on each year. rough our short time together, the eld hockey program has become a family.”
Senior Captain Patricia Bibeau ’22
“In my personal opinion, being one of the first student-athletes on a brand-new program is an honor,” says Senior Captain Patricia Bibeau ’22. “It is a privilege to set the tone of the program’s culture that will be passed on each year. Through our short time together, the field hockey program has become a family.”
Then the global pandemic hit, and everyone’s plans were in turmoil. Fortunately, the team spirit did not falter, and they were ready for an informal Catholic league competition when it was safe to play again. 2020 MIAA COVID-19 guidelines changed the game to a 7vs.7 model making it a totally different game than what the club team had been used to. Yet before
long, their level of play became more competitive, and their enthusiasm was palpable.
Coach Robbins has filled her coaching staff with three former collegiate players including one from Assumption, one from Nichols and a teammate from Lasell.
About Coach Robbins and her staff, AD Driscoll says “They have done a tremendous job building a program. In the past few years, they have built a culture of commitment and hard work. Coach Robbins has created an environment where studentathletes can challenge and learn about themselves individually and within a team atmosphere, teaching the importance of working together to accomplish a common goal.”
Today, there are more than 60 student-athletes in the program: enough to form three teams – varsity, junior varsity and junior varsity 2. Field hockey is one of seven fall sports offered at Austin Prep and now has the largest number of studentathletes on any team.
“It’s exciting to see how far the program and sport has come in just two short years. The coaching staff is so thankful to all the student-athletes that helped us get to this point,” said Coach Robbins. “We are grateful that the administration believed in us and gave us this opportunity to make school history. The bar has been set high for the Austin Prep Field Hockey Program.“

For the Class of 2021,
The beautiful early summer day was a perfect metaphor – sunny, bright, and as full of promise as the Class of 2021, sitting together with their parents, in Austin Prep’s unique graduation ceremony. Held outdoors on the Father Seymour Field, the new tradition of Baccalaureate Mass and Commencement as one event provided the opportunity to acknowledge and to celebrate overcoming unique challenges and realizing great accomplishments together. This theme was woven throughout both the homily, given by celebrant Bishop Robert P. Reed, DD who presided over the Mass, and in the remarks of the Commencement speakers.
Most Bishop Reed spoke to the class about their journey ahead, “We must make certain that the Austin Prep experience continues to open hearts and minds to repair society and this world in the name of Jesus Christ, who is always a light in the darkness, and our only hope.”
Board of Trustee Chair Daniel Bouchard, P’10, ’14, ’15, opened the celebration by congratulating both students and their parents, and noted that the class was collectively awarded more than $17 million in scholarships to some of the top colleges and universities in the nation.
In her remarks, Class Salutatorian Emma Ricciardelli urged her classmates to bring their Augustinian values to college with them. In an emotional moment the entire class joined her to recite a familiar phrase from their Austin Prep journey, perhaps for the last time together: “You have made us for Yourself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless until they rest in You.”
Valedictorian Faith Moran reminded everyone that they should take great pride in overcoming the pandemic as a community.
“The diplomas represent way more than simply meeting graduation requirements. They represent finding our way to the light despite all of the setbacks. They are signs that we can achieve anything we set our minds to,” Moran said.
In his Commencement address Head of School James Hickey, Ph.D. P’22, ’23, ’24, ’27 referenced New York Times Columnist David Brooks’ recent book The Road to Character for further inspiration.
“Brooks argues there are two types of virtues, what he calls the resume virtues and the eulogy virtues,” Dr. Hickey said. “Resume virtues are skills and achievements, such as superior test scores, and workplace promotions that often lead to bigger bank accounts and public praise or recognition. On the other side are eulogy virtues, the qualities of character...your humility, integrity, kindness, compassion, the love you have in your heart.
“As graduates of Austin Prep, formed in the Augustinian tradition, set on a pathway in the footsteps of Augustine, you are already living lives that place eulogy virtues first.”
One hundred twenty-four Austin Prep students graduated with the Class of 2021.

Faces Faces IN THE COMMUNITY
As head of the Austin Prep Parents Association (PA), Maryellen Iannibelli P’22, P’24 believes that one of her main responsibilities is helping to engender strong feelings of community.
“And that isn’t always easy,” she says, “When you’re reaching out to families that come from dozens of towns from as far away as Maine.” The key, she feels, is being cognizant of all kinds of families and staying relevant to everyone.
Surprisingly, the pandemic helped. “Parents started connecting with us because they couldn’t go to games or do any of the other things that connect people and draw newcomers into the community. Our week-long Virtual Open House was a big success.
Unlike parents associations at many other schools, Maryellen and her associates don’t have to invest time in explaining what’s going on in the classrooms.“The faculty and administrators do a fantastic job of that,” she says. “Right now, we’re concentrating on expanding the association to include more grandparents and supporting fundraising and charitable activities.”
The annual Signature Event is one the PA’s biggest undertakings. “Every year the event keeps getting better and better,” she says. “And all of those beautiful baskets! I can tell you that we have all learned to tie lovely bows.” Naturally, Maryellen gives others credit for all this success. “It’s a team effort and I am surrounded by a wonderful group of parents and administrators!”
The Parents Association has been running for six years and is always looking for new members and volunteers.
Fiona Hyland ’25 was born with bilateral talipes, i.e., clubfoot. After four years of treatment at Boston Children’s Hospital (BCH), she emerged fit, grateful and eager to help the hospital that had helped her – and to become a doctor herself. In first grade, she began participating in the Walk for Children’s Hospital. Then BCH asked if they could tell her story in an article. She agreed, thus launching her career as a hospital ambassador.
In 2019, she was chosen to represent Boston at the Speedway Tournament for Children’s Miracle Network (CMN) in Dayton, Ohio. It was an extraordinary event; the opportunity to meet so many kids increased her determination to become a pediatric surgeon.
Several years ago, designers at Saucony spent months getting to know her and kids from other CMN hospitals in order to design shoes and athletic gear that reflected their unique personalities. The Fiona Jazz 81 and Fiona hoodie are now being sold on the Saucony website, with a minimum of $200,000 going to the hospital. That’s first-class fundraising.
She continues to support the work of BCH in every way she can. For Fiona and young leaders like her, Caritas is more than a concept, it’s a mission.

Playing lacrosse at Austin Prep, Pete Smyth ’04 developed the skills to eventually captain his college team, and he has returned to his alma mater to build championship teams and train players for the next level.
As a student, Pete also played football and continued with both sports when he arrived at Nichols College where he majored in Sports Management. After a year at Nichols, he decided to focus on lacrosse and started all four years on the Bison varsity team in the attack position, serving as team captain the last two seasons.
During college, Pete began working with the Home-Grown travel team program which is now a successful year-round business called HGR Lacrosse. Playing indoors and out, it operates clinics and elite competitions.
Besides HGR, Pete was an assistant coach for several local high school teams, while also juggling married life with four children. However, when the opportunity to coach his alma mater presented itself six years ago, he jumped at it.
Since then, Austin Prep has dominated the Catholic Central League with multiple titles and numerous appearances in the state championships.
“The goal of the team each year is to develop well-respected young athletes,” Pete says. “It all starts with loyalty to each other and to the school. Do that and the winning takes care of itself.”
He also credits Fr. Seymour Field which he says is superior to many college surfaces. Being able to practice and play on a quality regulation field gives AP players an edge.
Austin Prep alumni routinely go on to play at the next level, with three currently playing for Division 1 college programs. Success like that breeds success and now some 55-60 boys play on the School’s Varsity, JV and Middle School teams, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
Austin Prep Middle School faculty, coach and Interim Dean of Students Colin Kiley recently won the Young Alumni Achievement award at his alma mater, St. Anselm College. He was nominated by fellow St. Anselm alum and now fellow teacher at Austin Prep, Maria Pascucci-Byrne, who is also a former award recipient.
Whether igniting a love of science in the classroom, getting the most out of his basketball and volleyball players, or doing whatever it takes to help students succeed, Colin answers the call.
After graduating from St. Anselm Colin, went on to earn a M.S. in Sports Leadership at Endicott College, where his skills in player development, teamwork and goal-setting come into play every day.
According to Pascucci-Byrne, he was “particularly thoughtful, enthusiastic, organized, and upbeat during the most challenging periods of the pandemic, and kept students focused and engaged.” His current colleagues and students congratulate him.
“Allie and I met on TikTok.” So begins a story that shows just how real Caritas can be. Allie, a student in North Carolina, was being bullied and Alexandra Martinelli ’28 wasn’t having it. “I stood up for Allie. I replied to lots of comments and reported lots, too. I then reached out to Allie, reminding her of what a kind and amazing person she is.”
Ever since then, Alexandra and Allie have been the best of friends. They FaceTime every night. Last summer, her family flew down to North Carolina so that she could meet Allie in person. “It was so incredible, amazing, and magical,” Alexandra remembers. “We ran so fast and gave each other the biggest hug. Just the couple of days we spent with Allie were so, so, so much fun and I still cannot believe we actually met.”
Everybody should have a friend as brave and loyal as Alexandra Martinelli.

Dream Bigger
James Orrigo ’09
James Orrigo ’09 and his team specialize in bringing innovation and creative thinking to the table to help pediatric cancer patients to dream big. James’“Big Dreams” program works with Children’s Cancer Research Fund to bring joy and preserve the legacies of pediatric cancer patients all over the globe. His unique programming even won Zoom’s ‘Overall Innovation Award’ 2020.
We had the opportunity to sit down with James and hear a bit about his origin story and get a glimpse into the exciting and important work he gets to do each day.Where did it all begin?
“One night when I was in high school I said a prayer,” he recalls. “I asked: How can I use my life to help others? I feel as if I’m just going through the motions. Literally, the next day, boom, boom; two hits to the head.”
James suffered a severe brain injury after receiving two back to back hits to the head during a lacrosse game. His purpose, his passion, had been lacrosse. Now he was faced with having to relearn basic skills.Trying to help him find his way, his mother suggested studying guitar with a neighbor. It worked. He wrote a silly song called “Boat Shoes” and the rest just seemed to fall into place.
“I realized I could use music to do some real good.”
Throughout high school and college, James walked alongside his mother as she faced a difficult battle with terminal cancer. His experience with her in the hospital deepened his conviction that he was doing something important.“I saw kids in the pediatric oncology units.They were often very sick, but they still had the capacity to light up with joy.”
James has an intuitive sense of how to connect with children. He is incredibly good at it, even with patients who have withdrawn under the pressure of their lives in the oncology unit.
After graduating college, James and his wife, Kristin, started an interactive children’s hospital program to continue helping these incredible young patients to dream big. Before long, his program began to grow and children’s hospitals across the nation were
requesting that it be brought into their units. Big names like Patch Adams and companies such as Google were sending support. Google agreed to sponsor a summer long, nationwide children’s hospital tour. Orrigo and his wife, who is a nurse, travelled coast to coast and brought smiles through music, animation and film to children in hospitals across the country.
After witnessing the program first hand, a child life specialist from Albuquerque, New Mexico commented,“This was so miraculous, the child was so quiet and so closed-off, and by the end you had him writing a song and illustrating it and just having a ball.Thank you, thank you, it was magical and we got to really see it right in front of our very eyes.”
Even after the summer tour concluded, Orrigo continued to travel and work with pediatric patients to help them create accessible video games, cartoon music videos, large scale productions and much more.The end goal was to bring their imaginations to life.
Orrigo has an intuitive sense of how to connect with patients. He is incredibly good at it, even with children who have withdrawn under the pressure of their battles in the oncology units.
“Sometimes I have less than an hour with a patient,” he says,“but that’s enough time to write a song together about anything they want, the crazier the better. Living as a zebra.Yellow Lamborghinis. Roller skating down a rainbow.The children get so caught up in what they are creating.” One little girl said,“Mom, I want to stand up.” She was in a wheelchair and hadn’t stood in months, but she stood up then.”
Then the pandemic struck. James had been going everywhere, but now traveling had to stop. If you think that slowed James down even a bit, you haven’t been paying attention.The Big Dreams program pivoted to a virtual platform in ways that were innovative and astoundingly successful.
Today, James meets with pediatric patients over zoom and virtual reality to help them create more immersive cartoon productions than had been possible before. Children’s Cancer

Research Fund enabled James to equip every child participant with an Oculus Quest headset. Orrigo’s team has grown into a worldwide network of animators, musicians, engineers, and editors that work around the clock to get the child their own personalized video as quickly as possible.The Big DreamsVirtual Tour made such a positive impact that it was even the Winner of Zoom’s Overall Innovation Award for 2020.
Thanks to Children’s Cancer Research Fund, Orrigo and his team were able to facilitate a four-day virtual camp for pediatric cancer patients this summer. “It was just so special to be able to bring these fighters together.They understood each other at such a deep level and were able to connect and have a ton of fun while doing it. By the end of the week no one wanted it to end!”The camp was so much fun that they felt as if they broke through the screen. In the words of one camper,“I can’t believe it, you all actually made zoom fun!”
Orrigo has also created a program to bridge hospital rooms with classrooms in order to give young patients access to a school experience, promote social and emotional learning in students, and to raise pediatric cancer awareness.The most recent Bridging Rooms Project was in October of this year and was an event for a young boy named Ke’yair who is fighting osteosarcoma.The entire Rutger’s University marching band learned Ke’yair’s song and surprised him with the performance on their football field, where he arrived in a convertible yellow Lamborghini.

minutes of a healthy kid’s life.The composure of Gavin the Great in a magician’s top hat explaining what it’s like to be him.
“Kids shouldn’t have to be this brave,” James says.“Some of them want to do a video not for themselves, but to cheer up other patients.”
Some of the kids James has worked with have passed on.This makes him acutely aware that one of the enduring purposes of every production is its legacy value.
“There’s one father who listens to his daughter’s video first thing every morning just so he will never forget the sound of her voice,” he says.“I understand that at a personal level.When my mother died, I wished I had more recordings of her voice.That was the catalyst for all of this.”
How does he bear up under all this tragedy?
“A one-word answer,” he says “Faith.”
His ultimate plan?
“If you set your goal and it revolves around doing good for someone else, you can’t fail.”
James lives on the coast of Maine with his wife, two kids and Bernese Mountain Dog.They hope to always encourage big dreams in each other and in their kids. If you want to get involved or see more about this exciting work you can follow @ladinabattle on Instagram or Facebook.

Jay Banfield ’86
Jay Banfield ’86 embodies Caritas in his work as a social entrepreneur and in his efforts on behalf of the economically disadvantaged and homeless.
After earning his undergraduate degree at Stanford, he matriculated to University of California Berkeley for a Master of Public Policy degree. He worked in the private sector at Oracle before gaining invaluable experience in non-profit organizations as well as positions in government and higher education. This led Jay to an idea: use what he had learned to address some of the country’s most difficult social problems.
“That’s how I define ‘social entrepreneur,” he said.“Someone who uses their understanding of how things work to have a positive impact, to build up organizations that make a difference.”
Social entrepreneurs uncover the real nature of the barriers like those that keep the economically disadvantaged people from securing well-paying jobs.They understand how policy is made, how to change it, and the very different ways the private, public and nonprofit sectors approach challenges.
In 2015, Jay put his insights to work at Year Up, a national organization that takes a unique approach to preparing disadvantaged young people for substantial jobs in technology, financial services, software, etc.
“Private sector organizations are all about results.They are focused on efficiency; the public and nonprofit sectors are closer to the need.They focus on people and equity. No one sector can fix the country’s most pressing problems by itself. In my experience, the best answers lie at the intersection of the public, private and nonprofit sectors.”
“People often have the wrong idea about what it takes to succeed in a job,” he said.“And there are many stereotypes about poor young people.”When speaking to HR executives, Jay starts by clearing up those misconceptions.
“I would tell them, I’m not asking for anything from you. I’m offering you a business proposition. You have a problem filling jobs and I have qualified candidates.Almost all jobs call for a
four-year degree.That’s unnecessary. Not every job requires a four-year degree to be successful. Don’t over-credential the roles.”
Many companies, especially the tech giants, are open to Year Up’s approach.“They are hungry for talent,” Jay said.“But they are used to recruiting from universities or luring employees away from competitors. I would tell them: think more broadly and you will find some incredibly talented people.”
You may be wondering what makes Year Up successful when other seemingly similar programs have failed.The answer lies in Jay’s brand of social entrepreneurship.
“It’s a question of distinguishing hard skills from soft,” he said. “Some young people have acquired technical expertise at community colleges or in the military.What causes them to get stuck in dead-end jobs is a lack of social capital and the necessary soft skills.”
This is the focus of what Year Up students work on intensively for six months, with the help of Year Up coaches and mentors. As Jay points out:“Being able to navigate a new environment, write a clear email, communicate with colleagues, build a network, these skills can qualify you for the kind of job you ought to have.”
In the second half of the program, students take up internships at companies such as Google, Salesforce, and Tesla.This real-world experience, along with the support from the Year Up community, helps students develop their professional networks and their confidence.
Every year, Year Up produces 3,000 graduates each year across the country. Even with this impressive number of program graduates, Jay never stopped thinking about ways to do more faster and more efficiently.
“We partner with community colleges,”he said,“to scale-up and help more people.Sometimes we embed inside a large company like Facebook and train people there;same coaches and methodologies, but we can lower our costs and serve more people.
In his work from 2015 to 2019 as Chief Officer of Innovation and Scale and Managing Director of Year Up, he expanded the program to major cities in California – San Francisco, San Jose, Los Angeles, and to Phoenix,Arizona.
In 2019,Jay accepted the position of Chief Officer of Economic Mobility at All Home, a new organization in the Bay Area. All Home ‘works across regions, sectors and silos to advance coordinated, innovative service delivery and build coalition-supported momentum to challenge the long-standing systems that perpetuate homelessness.’
“I had two reasons for transitioning to All Home,” he said. “The first was pragmatic:There are 800,000 people in the San Francisco Bay Area who are either homeless or in danger of becoming unsheltered. I believe All Home1 is taking the only realistic approach to addressing the root causes of that problem.
“My second reason was personal.When I was a child, my family had to move in with my great-aunt and great-uncle in Somerville.We had no place else to go. In fact, other members of my extended family had to live there at certain times as well. I can only imagine what would have happened to us if we didn’t have family as our safety net. Because when you need it, you really need it. And not everyone has it.”
According to Jay, All Home was too big an opportunity to pass up.“Instead of helping 2,500 people, I can help 250,000 – or maybe 2.5 million.”
Jay is convinced that only significant change at the policy level will make a dent in homelessness.
“Government has it all wrong.They don’t always think about finding shelter for people until they lose their homes.The approach should be to avert homelessness before it happens.
“Homelessness is another problem that requires the public, private and nonprofit sectors to work together. That is, we’ve got to combine the speed and efficiency of private enterprise with the natural empathy of public and nonprofit sector organizations – they know how things play out for people.”
Jay refers to the process of managing public, private and nonprofit efforts as being sensitive to the inner rhythms of all sectors.“Working separately, we will always have the status quo. Together, we can fix things at the policy level and work toward better outcomes for everyone.”
“Homelessness isn’t just a housing problem. It’s a poverty problem.That’s the problem we have to deal with.There’s no other alternative.”
When asked how he’d like to be known, Jay chose “Opportunity Broker.”“I try to use my skills to open doors for people.” This led him to a bit of advice for Austin Prep students.
“When you pass through the door of opportunity, be sure to prop it open for those coming behind you. In fact, try to tear the whole wall down.”

Danielle Angiolillo-Thompson ’00
For many people, the global pandemic created an opportunity to step-back from the day-to-day spiral of work, school, activities and so on. It was an opening to evaluate and realign priorities; to dig deeper into what was in front of us.And that is just what Danielle Angiolillo-Thompson has done in the last 24 months.
Danielle graduated from Austin Prep in 2000, earned an accounting degree at Quinnipiac University, and went to work for her family’s business,“I worked in accounting, taxation, and franchise operations,” she says.
In 2012 she welcomed her son Drew into the world, who happens to have Down syndrome. Like most parents, Drew is Danielle’s first priority; placing him and his development front and center. She works to ensure that Drew feels understood, respected, included, heard and loved in every aspect of his life. It is an ongoing role of advocacy and love for most parents who have a child with Down syndrome, and Danielle accepts it with great passion and a full heart.
Danielle has always been a reflective person. Mindfulness, yoga and spirituality became a way for her to find peace and purpose while navigating a shift in career and caring for a new child.
In the mid-to-late 2000’s, she began a coaching business, empowering women entrepreneurs to connect deeper to their passions and purpose. Eventually, with her friend and business partner Lauren Lopez, who was fighting terminal cancer at the time, they foundedThe Sukha Barn, a meditation and yoga center in Westford, MA.There, they were helping many different people in many different ways by creating a space for anyone who needed it; making it inclusive and accessible to all.Their shared value of serving others is sewn throughout their work. “I felt I was being guided to this path.”
All the while, Danielle worked with Drew and his team of teachers to advocate for the right balance of meaningful inclusion with his peers in a general education setting, while receiving the educational support he needs.Throughout Drew’s life, Danielle has been advocating for greater inclusion for people with Down syndrome,“We have come so far with research, legislation and programming; it is an ongoing journey filled with
compromise, balance and continuously pushing for civil rights.” Drew thrives in an inclusive environment; in a general education classroom learning alongside his peers. He can be an enthusiastic learner, some days coming home, going to his desk, giving himself homework and reading books from his shelf.That is how dedicated he is to learning.
Then the pandemic struck. Danielle and Lauren had to close The Sukha Barn, and embrace an online platform for their sessions. Danielle found herself at home with Drew for the next eighteen months.Together they adjusted – Danielle to working from home, and Drew to attending school virtually.
Danielle was working together with Drew each day.“In an odd way, it was a blessing,” she says. “It gave me much greater insight into the experience Drew was having at school.”
Danielle and Drew find themselves in an uphill battle around meaningful inclusion.All too often, schools hesitate to fully include children with Down syndrome in the general education classroom. Often this is a result of systematic barriers (in implementing an inclusive education system), inconsistent and/or clashing belief systems and inexperience.The need for consistent inclusive models is greater today than ever before, with increased diversity in school classrooms.
Danielle has been working closely with the school system to share resources and best practices with educators and administration about inclusivity from the perspective of a parent raising a child with Down syndrome. She brings research and personalized data to each scenario, with the intention of helping educators shift belief systems in hopes they will adopt meaningful inclusion models. It is an ongoing process.
Author and advocate Julie N. Causton-Theoharis, one researcher Danielle aligns with, is quoted in her article on ‘Support Others asYou Would Wish to Be Supported’ saying, “One purpose of including students with disabilities in inclusive classrooms, as opposed to segregating them in special education classrooms, is to help all students (students with and without disabilities) learn to live, work, and play together so that eventually they can successfully live, work, and be together in the
community as adults. For students with disabilities, inclusive schooling should promote intellectual growth, independence, and interaction with peers.”
Drewworkingonhomework
perseverance, resilience and confidence in him. She is leading by example, with Drew inspiring her path.
“I can’t begin to share the heartbreak, frustration and disappointment I’ve felt in advocating for Drew’s education. And yet I’m still hopeful,” Danielle shares.“I’d venture to say it’s the hardest thing I’ve done to date. I really can’t think of anything that has induced this amount of stress while simultaneously lighting my heart on fire as this journey to advocate for an appropriate, equitable and meaningful education for Drew. There’s just so much to learn, there’s so much work to do, and I’m not patient enough to sit back and wait. I love my child and all individuals too much to stop, too much to give up, too much to give in. I love Drew so much, I will always believe in him. I will believe in him when others don’t, and I believe in him when he doesn’t believe in himself.”
And for Drew, Danielle hopes to clear a path for him; to light the way by showing him how to be courageous, faithful, empowered, and full of love. She hopes to foster independence,
In the fall of 2020, Danielle’s friend and business partner Lauren succumbed to cancer. To carry on Lauren’s legacy and their shared passion for inclusivity, Danielle continues to find ways to advocate for and help others.
“Having the ability to pivot and adapt to life circumstances...see what’s in front of you, and what’s most important in this moment, what will serve the greater good...and having the freedom and choice to pursue this is a gift that I don’t want to waste,” says Danielle.
“My life certainly hasn’t followed one track and I’m taking on the challenges one chapter at a time in hopes I can make a difference in people’s lives.”
When it comes to Unitas, Caritas and serving others, and most importantly Drew, Danielle is all in.

Uniting Hearts Inquiring Minds Serving Hands Annual Giving. Daily Impact.
The 2020-2021 school year was unlike any other we have experienced since Austin Prep’s founding in 1962. In the words of Dr. James Hickey, Head of School, the school year was “one for the history books. As our community faced daunting circumstances during the public health crisis, we did what communities of strength do: we rallied, we learned, we adapted, and we relied on each other to push forward.”
Our community was flexible, resilient, patient, determined, understanding, and generous – virtues that bolster the foundation upon which Austin Prep is built. It is as a result of your steadfast commitment to Austin Prep that we continue to grow and excel, all within our Mission to inspire hearts to unite, minds to inquire and hands to serve.
Annual Fund Dollars at Work 2020-2021
Over the last year,Austin Prep’s Annual Fund supported an incredible range of programs, projects and opportunities for our community, including these and many more.
• Thanks to the support of so many donors,Austin Prep students were able to stay on track for college through the installation of technology in classrooms for remote learning during the height of the pandemic. Interactive applications were added to the system to enhance the virtual teaching and learning experience and countless hours of professional development and support were provided to our faculty to provide them with the skills and tools needed to engage students in the best possible way.
• Annual Fund donations provided resources to develop a choice and voice approach to Middle School curriculum. Expanded elective courses promote student ownership and open opportunities for students to take risks and grow in a creative environment.This unique way of teaching and learning drove enrollment to new levels.
• In a year where many institutions were cutting programing due to space constraints and regulations around the pandemic, Austin Prep added programming thanks to the generosity of so many Annual Fund donors.A highlight of this growth is the building of the field hockey program from a club with 15 participants into a varsity program with 62 studentathletes (see page 12 for the full story).
• The Office of Student Life increased the number of opportunities for our students in grades 6-11 to socialize safely through programming including Project Adventure and outings such as mini-golf, go-carts and ice cream, and field days in outdoor settings.The highlight of social activities for the Seniors was the prom, where our students gathered safely under a tent to experience this nostalgic high school experience.
• Austin Prep’s commitment to Mission and Inclusion and advancing our cultural proficiency was strengthened through faculty and staff professional development.Twelve faculty members enrolled in a ‘Diversity, Equity, and Social Justice’ course taught by ProfessorTom Bourdon of the Merrimack College.This course was specially designed for Austin Prep with a focus on implicit bias, and fostering higher levels of engagement for Students of Color.
• With many organizations taking their professional development to a virtual platform there was greater access to opportunities for our faculty to participate in webinars and workshops run by the University of Notre Dame, Boston College, NAIS,AISNE, NEASC, and the NCEA. The Annual Fund made attendance to these webinars and workshops possible.
• Hands-on learning in the science labs continued with the hiring of a lab assistant.This new faculty member oversees the logistics and implementation of science labs across the Middle and Upper School curriculum, an invaluable addition to our investment in the sciences, made possible by the Annual Fund.

Memorial Scholarship

Mr. & Mrs. Mark S. Duggan ’72
This year our family celebrated the 20th year of the FrancisT. Duggan Scholarship through awards to two Austin Prep students. Mr. Duggan believed in providing young people opportunities to succeed. The foundation of his belief started with Catholic educational values, coupled with experience and leadership qualities in athletics.When the future of continuing to provide these Catholic values was challenged back in the 60’s and Austin Prep was in jeopardy of closing, Mr. Duggan and several other Austin Prep parents were instrumental in ensuring the school’s stability to remain open and continue its mission.These efforts became part of Austin Prep’s legacy,“Never Give Up,” a lesson advocated by Mr. Duggan to his children who include three Austin Prep alumni, and to the greater Austin Prep community. Our family is proud of the many FTD scholars and our small part in helping Austin Prep students succeed on their journey.

Igniting Hearts, Transforming Lives
Our Igniting Hearts, Transforming Lives Capital Campaign is designed to fulfill Austin Prep’s strategic priorities in a phased approach. The completion of Phase 1 in 2016 saw the opening of a new stadium, including Father Seymour Field. As we move through each phase, the goal is to improve the student experience through the renovation of facilities and the enrichment of academic programs as well as increased endowments for tuition assistance and scholarships to keep an Austin Prep education accessible. While the aesthetic improvements are evident in the renovation and expansion projects around campus, economic and environmental sustainability are at the core of this strategic plan to bring the facilities above current benchmarks for educational institutions.
Phase II began in 2017 to continue the effort to better serve Austin Prep students and to commence strategic plans for the Upper and Middle Schools to ensure the curriculum and pedagogy remain true to an innovative and dynamic college prep program. Through the generosity of so many, we have made tremendous progress in raising $1.9M for Phase II in support of our $3 million goal. The benefit of this campaign is evident in the renovation of the dining hall and kitchen, as well as the construction of the lower athletic complex which provides over 500 athletes the opportunity to train and compete on six new tennis courts, and a multi-purpose turf field that can host baseball, field hockey, lacrosse and soccer games. The final piece of the campaign will be the construction of a turf softball field with dugouts and lighting. In the area of academics, the strategic plan for the Upper School curriculum began implementation in 2018 followed by the Middle School strategic plan.
Softball on the Horizon
As life increasingly turns toward a greater degree of normality, we are taking the opportunity to return our focus on the strategic initiative of the second phase of the Igniting Hearts, Transforming Lives Campaign. The pandemic momentarily stalled our momentum, but our goal remains the same: to provide our students with the best possible facilities for them to improve their skills and hone their talents.
We are excited to present the latest concept design for the new softball field and additional parking lot expansion which represent the last stage of the second phase of Austin Prep’s transformative Igniting Hearts, Transforming Lives Campaign. This new state-of-the-art synthetic turf field will include dugouts, bleachers, press box and lighting. This renovated field space will meet the unique needs of the school and multipurpose use desired for the field, including use by clubs and for extracurricular activities. The additional parking lot will provide approximately100 additional spaces which are especially needed for special events and athletic competitions.
Lower Athletic Complex, including tennis courts, concourse, bleachers, press box, dugouts, multi-purpose turf field for field hockey, lacrosse, soccer and baseball field, as well as a natural baseball infield
