HARPSTRINGS

SPRING 2022

FAITH IN YOUNG WOMEN. SINCE 1860.

Dear Friends,

“Behold, I make all things new!” (Revelation 21:5). This Scripture passage has been our school theme this year, reminding us of the hope that is ours in Christ Jesus. Each moment, we can begin anew in His grace. No mistake, failure, or sin can keep us from returning to the Lord, beginning again, and entrusting ourselves to His mercy and love. Indeed, in the paradoxical ways of divine love, it is often the experience of our own poverty that opens us up to God’s powerful work in our lives. God does not expect us to walk the path of heroic virtue with our own strength alone nor to face challenges or suffering on our own. Rather, He longs to be with us, giving us the wisdom and courage we need to journey with confidence and joy.

It is our priority at St. Cecilia Academy to carve out space for girls to hear the voice of Jesus and come to know the Lord as a Friend who is always at work to renew, restore, and transform. Pictured on the cover

of this Harpstrings, our renovated chapel is a reminder of what the Lord wants to do in each of our lives. The renovation of the school chapel took place in the fall, hidden behind the scenes and not interrupting the day-to-day school routine. Several people told me they forgot it was even going on. This made the beauty of the new chapel such a wonderful surprise when it was unveiled— just in time for St. Cecilia Day.

God’s work in our hearts is often like this quiet chapel renovation. In the midst of our daily rounds, His grace is quietly at work. Suddenly, we find we are different – maybe an old resentment has been taken away or we have more interior freedom to try something new, or a relationship that seemed beyond repair has been miraculously restored. Our chapel renovation is the first completed initiative of our strategic plan, and as such, is an eloquent reminder of the reality of God’s grace daily at work - gradually, gently,

quietly making all things new and giving us a share in His own divine life. Our chapel is but a glimpse of the beauty that God wants to bring to our souls.

We hope to have opportunities in the coming school year for friends of SCA to join us in prayer in the chapel. In the meantime, please know how grateful I am for your support, encouragement, and friendship. May the Lord bless you and your family with every grace and blessing!

In Christ the Risen Lord, Sister Anna Laura, O.P.

STRATEGIC GROWTH PLAN year one

To say St. Cecilia Academy has been abuzz with activity would be an understatement. On top of the day-to-day happenings of a thriving college preparatory school, the school has been steadfastly moving forward with its strategic growth plan.

The planning process, which pulled together the voices of hundreds of stakeholders and only paused briefly in the spring of 2020, culminated in December 2020 when the Congregation Council of the Dominican Sisters of St. Cecilia (the Academy’s

governing board) approved the final plan. The plan’s overarching goals center on four areas:

• Faith, Reason, and Virtue

• Organizational Structure and School Collaboration

• Facilities

• Advancement

The organizational structure and school collaboration planning team took a shared look at the needs of St. Cecilia Academy and Overbrook School and went to work immediately to address its first task, which involved involved studying the question of creating a thriving junior high program on the Dominican Campus, knowing that the results of that study would inform and guide much of the remaining strategic plan roll-out.

At the same time, St. Cecilia embarked on what it termed “low-hanging fruit projects:” no-regrets enhancements to the school’s facility that would have positive and immediate impact ahead of any larger-scale capital projects.

“I am astounded by what has taken place on the campus in the last 24 months, said Principal Sister Anna Laura, "The Lord is blessing St. Cecilia Academy in so many ways, especially through our generous benefactors, faculty and staff."

The “low-hanging fruit projects” include a beautifully renovated St. Cecilia Academy chapel that was blessed by Bishop Spalding on St. Cecilia Day. The new chapel provides a most fitting space for class Masses, First Friday Adoration, and daily prayer for students and faculty. Additionally, construction will begin this spring on a shared SCA and Overbrook field house that features restrooms and concessions at the athletic field. Sister Anna Laura has also pulled together a team of women designers (including several alumnae) to help update and provide a cohesive look for school hallways through repainting, updated lighting fixtures, and new furnishings.The team is planning a display for the main hallway of the school that celebrates the life of St. Cecilia and connects visually with the 1860 Motherhouse where St. Cecilia Academy first began.

With the junior high study complete, the Dominican Sisters made the historic decision to move to a new campus model in which St. Cecilia Academy will serve girls in grades 7-12, and Overbrook will focus on the co-ed education of children in grades preschool to 6th grade. Since the announcement of that decision this past August, the academic, student life, and faith formation committees have been in sprint mode to welcome students for the inaugural junior high classes in August 2022.

To ready the building for distinct junior high spaces, renovations of existing square footage are set to begin the day school breaks for summer. As one facilities team member noted, it is as if the building was made for this plan because there is ample space to accommodate seventh and eighth graders in an area separate from the high school girls, a move that will increase the student body by about 25 percent in the first year.

This year SCA announced the establishment of two new endowed scholarships totaling $1.5 million that will provide tuition assistance to multiple girls in grades 7-12 starting in 2022- 2023.

The new scholarships are:

The Mother Frances Walsh Scholarship: Mother Frances Walsh was one of the four foundresses of the Dominican Sisters of St. Cecilia Congregation. She was a pivotal figure in the establishment and early history of St. Cecilia Academy and firmly dedicated to excellent Catholic education for young women.

The Saint Margaret of Hungary Endowed Scholarship: St. Margaret of Hungary was an early Dominican who showed her love for Christ in overflowing charity and quiet acts of service to her neighbor.

On top of all the planning and renovations, St. Cecilia Academy has been blessed by strong financial support this school year. With a robust Annual Fund campaign, a successful Day of Giving, flourishing special events, and the creation of three new endowment funds, it is a record year in terms of development support.

SCA PREPARES FOR JUNIOR HIGH

There has been a great deal of excitement this year about SCA’s decision to add seventh and eighth grades for the 2022-2023 school year. Junior high girls from all across Nashville have enjoyed a taste of the Scarab spirit in various ways – from shadow days to Girls’ Night Out, Open House, and the Junior High Leadership Summit, all of which have been led by current students.

To ready the building for a separate junior high space, renovation will begin this spring to create designated junior high classrooms. SCA is blessed to have ample existing square footage so that junior high girls will have their own distinct area in the current library wing – complete with lockers, commons, and an outdoor courtyard. In addition, they will have access to SCA’s current fine arts, dining, lab, and athletic spaces.

The Art of Living will be a signature two-year feature of the St. Cecilia Academy Junior High curriculum. The Art of Living class is aimed at providing a human, emotional, and intellectual formation so that junior high girls can flourish on a path toward true happiness. Students will be taught social skills, an understanding of the emotions and how to work with them, life skills and strategies for balancing the demands of life, organizational and study skills, how to grow in virtue and in friendship with others, healthy habits, and true happiness – all tailored for a girl in junior high.

Seventh and eighth grade girls will also have the benefit of service and retreat programs specifically for their needs, as well as new traditions that will include a father/daughter outdoor adventure and an Epiphany fine arts program. Fall, winter, and spring athletic teams will compete in both the Diocesan Athletic Conference and the Harpeth Valley Athletic Conference. Co-curricular opportunities will depend on student interest and will include forensics, robotics, MathCounts, Jr. Sodality of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Jr. Pep Club, and Jr. Student Council.

DUC IN ALTUM CONFERENCE

Last October St. Cecilia hosted a gathering of about 150 Catholic educators from across the country at the Duc in Altum Schools Summit. The Summit is an annual event in which Catholic school teachers, campus ministers, and administrators come together for top-notch professional development in a faith-filled environment. Sister John Catherine of the SCA History Department (left) joined Fr. Claude Williams, O.Praem., and Dr. Heather Thomas for a panel discussion about responses to questions of racism and DEI models informed by the dignity of the human person and an understanding of the Church’s social teachings.

POISED FOR Success

2021-22 National Merit Winners display an array of talents

St. Cecilia student ambassadors often tell prospective students, “At SCA it is cool to be smart.” Not only is it cool to be smart, but the intelligence of the ladies of St. Cecilia expresses itself through a diverse array of talents and interests. This year’s three National Merit Finalists and one Commended Student beautifully illustrate this fact.

National Merit Finalist ELLIE RODGERS has been interested in math since she set foot in an Algebra II Honors class as a freshman. She has also been drawn to robotics and has been a member of the Lady Bots championship robotics team all four years. Ellie especially likes the coding aspect of robotics, so much so that she completed a summer internship at Vanderbilt in computer science and coding. Her penchant for problemsolving made her a leader on the robotics team as well as president of Mu Alpha Theta Math Honor Society. Ellie will continue her education at Dartmouth College next year, where she plans to study neuroscience and math.

Finalist ANNA HUBER likewise excels in math, and her interests have taken her in the direction of economics, history, and civic engagement. Her involvement and leadership in Model UN and Youth in Government directed Anna to an internship opportunity with the YMCA’s Center for Civic Engagement. She is also a founding board member of Nashville’s Junior Economic Club and serves as the organization’s chief marketing officer. Anna is grateful for all the opportunities she has had at SCA and plans to continue her interests in business, Analytics and History in the fall at the University of Notre Dame.

ISABEL LEONARD, finalist, loves St. Cecilia and

especially appreciates the guidance and support of her teachers across the disciplines. Although she was initially hesitant about an all-girls school, now as a senior she is grateful for the leadership opportunities made available to her because of it. In addition to playing volleyball and tennis all four years, she is vice-president of Student Ambassadors and has been involved in Student Council and Dance Company. As she attends University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill next year, she plans to major in marine biology.

National Merit Commended Scholar ELLA HILL CROUCH is also interested in many subjects, particularly science and its intersection with political science. Over the years she has gained an interest in and concern for the environment, especially through her research in a Scientific Research independent study course. At SCA Ella Hill has been able to combine her love of science with a love for public speaking discovered through her involvement in the SCA drama program. She also realized her leadership abilities through her work with Student Council and as President of the SCA Ambassador Board. As she says, “I am grateful for the opportunity to get to know myself better over the last four years. I don’t know who I would be without SCA.” Ella Hill will attend Xavier University in the fall.

MARCH FOR LIFE

40 years later

BY ELIZABETH CARDEN PHILLIPS ’ 86

On January 22, 1973, the United States Supreme Court legalized abortion in America in the Roe v. Wade decision. The next year, on that same day, the March for Life began. Each year since, hundreds of thousands of Americans from every state have journeyed to the nation’s capital in January to march from the National Mall to the Supreme Court in peaceful witness to the injustice of abortion.

St. Cecilia Academy began attending the March for Life in 1983, the 10th anniversary of Roe v. Wade. As a junior at SCA, I was incredibly blessed to be a part of that inaugural journey. Looking back, I see it as one of the most important events of my life.

(Above)

(Right)

Elizabeth, Sister Mary Caroline, Sister Mary Angela, and Amy Carden Conlan ‘81 met up at this year’s March for Life.

Elizabeth’s daughter Cecilia ’25 with friend Stella Perazzini ‘23.

On the day we were to leave, Nashville woke to a late January ice and snowstorm.We were too young to worry about the hazardous conditions and were blissfully unaware that parents and chaperones were on the phones weighing the safety of making the fifteen-hour bus ride. In the spirit of trust and courage, our principal, Sister Mary Angela, made the decision to go forward. I’m forever grateful that she did.

We loaded the bus with our pillows and sleeping bags, full of excitement and not sure what awaited us in our nation’s capital. As the tour bus crept over the icy Shenandoah Mountains, there were a few slips and slides, a large number of rosaries said, along with lots of laughter and singing. We arrived in D.C. safe and sound, if a little groggy.

I’ll never forget my first view of the Capitol as our bus pulled in to join the hundreds of other buses lining the National Mall. The Washington Monument, The Smithsonian Museums, the Capitol, the Library of Congress, the Supreme Court, all enormous and grand, took my breath away. We had just enough time to run through the Smithsonians to see some of our nation’s history before meeting up on the Mall for the March.

Even more impressive than the monuments and museums was the crowd that gathered for the March. As a young high school girl from Nashville, I had never seen so many people in one place—thousands upon thousands of

young and old jostling together as President Reagan addressed the crowd from the White House. There were smiles and handshakes and hugs between strangers and new friends.

It was cold and gray, and the winter storm that had followed us from Nashville started to shower down large snowflakes as we began the march down Constitution Avenue, but I don’t recall feeling cold at all.The crowd was so joyful and inviting that it was difficult to feel anything but warmth. Banners identifying groups from Michigan, Florida, California – and just about every state in between – flapped in the wind as we slowly walked the two miles to the Supreme Court, praying the rosary at some parts, singing at others and cheering pro-life messages. It felt like one big family.

It was that day I decided I would live in D.C. someday. I would be part of the change our nation so desperately needed. I applied for and received a congressional internship during college, and then moved to Washington D.C. after graduation. I was blessed to work in media for a public policy foundation dedicated to pro-life issues. Each January, on my lunch breaks, I would walk from the office to join up with the marchers. Even on my own, I never felt alone. It was like a family reunion of sorts.

When I moved back to Nashville, I continued to pursue public policy work for the Governor of Tennessee, where I met my husband.Whenever

possible, I traveled back to D.C. for the annual March for Life. I was honored to be a board member of Tennessee Right to Life for many years as we worked on a constitutional amendment to the state constitution to allow common-sense safeguards to abortion laws in Tennessee. Currently, I pray the rosary each week with other Dominican campus parents and friends at Nashville’s Planned Parenthood.

This past January, I had the chance once again to attend the March for Life. This time, my daughters, both now St Cecilia girls who are nearly the same age I was when I first made the trip, were there with their classmates. In that crowd of thousands, I caught a glimpse of my former principal, Sr. Mary Angela, marching alongside other Dominicans Sisters. As we walked together, she shared with me how anxious she had been to let a bunch of high school girls board the bus that snowy day almost 40 years before. She said, “We saw you girls off, and then started saying the rosary over and over again until you were safely there.” It was one of the full circle moments we are sometimes allowed by God’s Providence. I can’t imagine how different my life would be if Sister Mary Angela had made a different choice. I’ll be forever grateful for SCA’s courageous commitment to the dignity of each human life and for igniting in me a passion for caring for the unborn and their mothers. ◊

New Athletic Director

ROBERT JEMISON

This past August St. Cecilia Academy welcomed Coach Robert Jemison on board as the school’s new athletic director. Although he is new to St. Cecilia, he is no stranger to the city or its Catholic community. A longtime parishioner of Christ the King, Jemison attended grade school there from fourth to sixth grade before transferring to St. Vincent School for seventh and eighth grades. His love of sports started in grade school and continued at Father Ryan High School, where he played football, wrestled, and ran track. His time at Father Ryan was marked by coaches like Pat Simpson, Joe Drennan, and Tommy Bateman. “All of those coaches made such a big impact on me,” says Jemison, and his connection to them continued long after graduation.

As he was looking around at colleges, he and his mother went to visit Texas A & M University. “She had me signed up before I knew what was going on,” Jemison jokes, but he came to love both Texas and Aggie football. Not only that, but being at A & M led Jemison “to the best move I’ve ever made,” for it was there that he met his wife, Jennifer, to whom he has been married for 29 years. They have three daughters ranging in age from 16 to 21.

After studying sports management in college, Jemison returned to Nashville and began an internship program under Ronnie Carter at the TSSAA. It was also at that time that he started to coach football and discovered the other love of his life – coaching and working with young people in athletics. After his time at the TSSAA, Jemison went on to coach for 16 years at Father Ryan. He was also the Athletic Director and coach at both Harding Academy and Battle Ground Academy.

Jemison feels like the Lord’s hand brought him here to St. Cecilia, and through this opportunity so many unexpected blessings have come alive for him over the course of his first year at SCA. Says Jemison, “When I first saw the last names of the girls here, I realized, ‘I know the dads of these girls. I coached them.’ It is very rewarding to reap the benefits of coaching the kids of the kids you coached. I feel like I have come full circle.”

Although Jemison is a dad to girls, he has never been in an all-girls environment until this year and is impressed with what he experiences. “These are some of the most resilient girls I have

Robert Jemison

seen,”

Jemison observes. “They work hard and don’t come up with excuses. They don’t get down or pout when things get tough, but look forward to the next challenge and want to do better. I attribute that to faith. It makes a difference.”

Jemison loves being back in the integrated environment of a Catholic school. He sees how athletics can be a great training ground in virtue for students by helping them put into practice the lessons learned through their studies. “I truly believe God has a role in the lives of our athletes,” observes Jemison, “particularly when it comes to adversity. Prayer is important. Even if the score doesn’t look right or the opponent looks stronger, you don’t question your effort. You can only do what God gives you the strength to do.”

Coach Jemison has great plans for the St. Cecilia athletic program, particularly with the addition of seventh and eighth grades beginning in 20222023. He is working with administrators and coaches at both St. Cecilia and Overbrook to create a cohesive six-year vision for student athletes.The junior high girls will compete in both the Diocesan Athletic League and the Harpeth Valley Athletic Conference, and Jemison wants to have many athletic offerings for junior high girls.This will not only prepare them for high school competition,

but also help them become healthy and wellrounded. Jemison says athletics is a great tool to motivate girls in a sense of belonging.

In his first year he has worked hard to recruit talented and qualified coaches, one of the key factors he identifies for building a strong and consistent athletic program. “Good coaching is a gift,” says Jemison. “We want coaches who understand each athlete and recognize how God has blessed each girl. I want to surround our girls with good mentors who set clear expectations and encourage them.”

Coach Jemison is also looking forward to growing and improving current athletic facilities. He is eager for the new St. Cecilia and Overbrook field house that will be built this summer to house concessions and restrooms at the field, thus expanding opportunities for hosting meets and guests for various events on campus. “We have a beautiful campus with huge potential for development,” says Jemison. ◊

Graduation Speech Excerpts

2021 VALEDICTORIAN MADELINA IRIS HUFFMAN Vanderbilt University Harding Academy

“From the looks of it, I could really call my uniform skirt a mess. It’s dirty, a little ripped, the buttons have been sewn and re-sewn countless numbers of times, and I definitely couldn't sell it to any incoming freshman. I have the choice to look at this plaid skirt and think of all the times at school I wished and even paid for an out-of-uniform day; I have the choice to look at it and think about how careless I had been with this article of clothing; I have the choice see it as simply a piece of fabric and throw it away right as I get home from this graduation.Yet I don’t think any of us want to look at our kilts this way. In its deep green and navy plaid we are unified with past, present, and future St. Cecilia girls. The bright yellow and crimson stripes down the fabric make this plaid recognizable to all girls who have spent their years within St. Cecilia’s walls, whether that’s spotting the pattern on someone down the grocery store aisles, or encountering that same plaid on a pair of pants as you online shop. Just a simple thread arrangement of blues, greens, reds, and yellows immediately reminds us all of home for the past four years.”

“In these past four years I’ve come out of my introverted shell and opened up to my classmates – and now I am going to leave them. And that scares me. We are all afraid to leave each other. Our four-year journey at St. Cecilia has become a moment that we would like to hold on to forever. My favorite author, J.R.R. Tolkien, wrote a poem about the journey of life entitled “Roads Go Ever On.”

The roads we follow may take us far away from home, but I believe no matter how far we go, in some way we will return to each other, return to SCA again, even if only in our hearts, even if only in the next life. And as long as we keep carrying this moment with us, we need not be afraid of the future. SCA will always be our home.”

“Here we are - four years after walking into these school doors as scared, oblivious freshmen who didn’t quite know our place in the St. Cecilia hallways. Standing here, we are all confident about the mark that we are leaving on the school. Looking at my classmates today, we are about to graduate; I see a complete, beautiful, unique, and perfect puzzle that has taken years to finish. We are not scared little freshmen anymore.

When you think of High School, remember the kilt and saddle shoes that we wore as we roamed the halls, the plays we performed in, the sports we played, the VAP dances we practiced and all the formal dances we attended. These are the memories that you should hold close to your heart. Remember at the root of these memories is joy. I encourage all of you to continue leading your lives with joy, because if there is one thing that SCA has taught me, it’s that joy is the greatest gift one can attain.”

“St. Cecilia Academy is a constant reminder of who I am, what I deserve in this world, and where I started my great relationship with Christ,” declares Adreanna Parlette ’17. She credits SCA for giving her the building blocks to succeed – academically, spiritually, and personally – and gain the mindset of a champion.

Even before they enrolled as students, Adreanna and her twin sister, Bella ’17, knew about St. Cecilia from their aunt, Hadiya Housepian, who graduated from SCA in 2009.The girls were encouraged by their family to strive for excellence and to make

education a priority. When they both chose to attend SCA, Adreanna and Bella found high school to be a training ground where they could mature and excel in different ways – Bella in dance and Spanish and Adreanna in choir and athletics. “St. Cecilia pushed me to do everything,” recalls Adreanna. In addition to challenging herself academically, she got involved in theater guild and choir, which gave her the organizational and time management skills she would need in college and beyond. Her athletic ability also began to blossom during high school, where she distinguished herself as one of the top track athletes in the region and state in high jump, long jump, and 100 meter hurdles.

It was at St. Cecilia that Adreanna also discovered the Catholic faith. She distinctly remembers the moment in religion class when one of the sisters was teaching about the Gospel call to forgive one’s enemies, a message she had never really heard before. She was captivated by this life-changing truth, and from that time she began to pray and ask serious questions about her own faith. As she deepened in her relationship with Christ, Adreanna decided to go through the RCIA program her junior year. At the Easter Vigil she was baptized and received into the Catholic Church. Adreanna continues to live her Catholic faith and says she could not have gotten through the challenges of recent years without God, adding, “My foundation remains strong and my faith ever present, something that developed at SCA!”

After graduation, Adreanna received a scholarship to run at Jacksonville University in Florida, but she did not have the experience she hoped for there. In 2019, her SCA mentor Coach Marchetti encouraged her to transfer back to Nashville. She did, and with a move to Belmont University came a new confidence and a new chapter in her athletic career. After only one indoor winter track season at Belmont, the pandemic hit.Yet Adreanna used the months during Covid to focus on building up her strength and mental focus.The work paid off as she entered a very successful 2021 spring season in which she was named the 2021 Ohio Valley Conference Female Field Athlete of the Year, winning the long jump, finishing second in the heptathlon, fourth in the 110-meter hurdles, and seventh in the high jump. Her performance at the conference championships qualified her for the NCAA Regionals where she set Belmont University records in the long jump, 100 meter hurdles, and heptathlon. Not only was Adreanna’s confidence back, but she was performing at an even higher level of excellence.

Last summer word quickly spread in the SCA community that Adreanna would be competing in the long jump for one of three spots on the United States Olympic Team. In June the SCA community was abuzz as teachers, friends, and family tuned in to watch Adreanna compete at the U.S. Olympic team trials in Eugene, Oregon. Among a field of the twenty-four best women track and field athletes in the country, Adreanna finished

17th. It was thrilling to see this St. Cecilia girl gather her confidence and drive to compete at an Olympic-qualifying level, achieving even beyond her own expectations. After this experience she said, “I was competing against the best of the best. I didn’t feel any pressure. I felt like I belonged.”

After finishing her undergraduate degree in the spring of 2021, Adreanna is now pursuing a master’s degree at The University of Oklahoma in Human Relations Management while she continues to train for competition.When she reflects about her experience at St. Cecilia, Adreanna says,“SCA gave me the platform and the tools to succeed, no doubt about it. The confidence, faith, and resilience I developed there have gotten me through the toughest obstacles. SCA really has a lot to offer beyond the rigorous scholastics. By embracing my experience to the fullest, I left with so much!”

Adreanna Parlette `17

“I was competing against the best of the best. I didn’t feel any pressure. I felt like I belonged.”

Young 100 YEARS

Two SCA centenarians have seen many changes during their ten decades of life. Surrounded by the love of God and family, graduates Rosemary Petre Brunette ’40 and Nell Schindler Ayers ’40 are full of gratitude and hope.

ROSEMARY PETRE BRUNETTE

Rosemary Brunette started a family tradition: after she herself attended St. Cecilia, she encouraged so many children, grandchildren, sisters, nieces and great-nieces to attend that it is hard to keep track of them all.

Rosemary, or “Grammie Rose” as current SCA history teacher Sara Brunette Strobel ’01 calls her grandmother, was born on the family farm in the Germantown neighborhood of Nashville on June 6, 1921. As one of eight children, she assumed regular farm chores and was an active member at Church of the Assumption. When it was time for high school, Rosemary walked the mile or so to St. Cecilia Academy, where she became fast friends with the other students as well as the Dominican Sisters.“The sisters were so sweet and patient,” she says. She loved them all and still remembers acting as Sister Hildegarde’s flower girl at Sister’s first profession of vows.

Rosie was known as an active and lively student. She recalls learning all the latest dance steps from her dad – waltz, fox trot, and polka – and teaching those to her friends at SCA. As her daughter-in-law Anne Love Brunette ’72 relates,“Rosie had good friends and good times and a great education.”

Graduating from St. Cecilia in 1940, Rosemary continued her education and graduated from St.Thomas Hospital Nursing School. When World War II began, she entered the Navy as an ensign and served as a nurse in Portsmouth, Virginia, where she met her future husband and love of her life, Joseph Brunette. (Rosie is quick to remind you that she outranked him!) After Rosie and Joe were married, they went on to have seven children: Mike, Barbara (Trautman ’66), Scott, Marie (McKirnan ’70), Jim, Paul, and Dea (Taylor ’79). Rosie was very happy when the family was able to move back to Nashville in 1963, where they attended St. Henry Church and then St. Ann.

Nell Schindler Ayers

Rosie surrounded by her grandchildren and their spouses on her 100th birthday.

Rosie’s beloved husband passed away in 1980, but it was not until eight years afterward that she decided to move to Mary, Queen of Angels. Here on June 4, 2021 was the scene of the grand 100th outdoor birthday party thrown by her family, an especially festive celebration after the restrictions on visiting during the pandemic.Yard signs, balloons, cake, and flowers were all part of the day. Even during the difficult days of Covid restrictions, Rosie was able to remain positive and active, encouraging games and exercises for her fellow residents just as she did during her SCA student days.

Rosie is grateful for her life and says that she is where she is today thanks to a positive attitude, a large and loving family (7 children, 15 grandchildren, and 22 great-grandchildren), staying healthy, and keeping God and faith at the center of her life.

NELL SCHINDLER AYERS

At age 99, Nell Ayers had a brush with death after suffering a serious infection and spending eight weeks rehabilitating. “But now here I am, hale and hearty,” she announced before her 100th birthday on March 10, 2022. On March 12, she had a special birthday party at Christ the King, complete with refreshments, music, and the well wishes of many friends.

A member of the Class of 1940, Nell received the singular honor at her graduation of being named both Valedictorian and St. Cecilia Girl. Nell, also nicknamed “Girlie”

by her friends and family, has many fond stories of her time at St. Cecilia. Attending school when it was still at the Motherhouse, she recalls how the students rode horses down to the Cumberland River. She also remembers how, on an overnight stay at the Motherhouse with one of her boarding school classmates, they both tried to sneak over to the sisters’ corridor in the middle of the night…until they got caught by Sister Noreen! When it came time for graduation, Nell recalls how her older brother bought her graduation gown for her (the one pictured in the photo on opposite page). Nell eventually became a trusted administrative assistant to professor Dr. Nicholas Hobbs at Vanderbilt University’s Kennedy Center, an educational research center affiliated with the Peabody School. When Mrs. Rose Kennedy and Eunice Shriver visited the campus as they sometimes did, Nell was invariably chosen to act as their escort. On one occasion

she recalls taking a call for her supervisor from President John F. Kennedy, who in the course of the conversation offered her a job in Washington. She declined, stayed in Nashville, and went on to meet her husband, Dee Ayers. Together they had many happy years of marriage and raised children, Jill and Michael.

Today Nell continues to live in her own home thanks to the help of her children. She attends Sunday Mass at Christ the King and watches daily Mass on her iPad. She keeps her mind sharp through reading and playing solitaire. “I have a charmed life,” says Nell.“Thanks to SCA for such a great life with God at the helm!”

Bethany Retreat House

For almost ten years, St. Cecilia and Overbrook School have offered weekend retreats for moms and dads at the Dominican Sisters’ Bethany Retreat House. Many men and women have been blessed by the graces they have discovered here in taking time out of their busy lives for quiet and prayer. A growing number of moms and dads make it a tradition to attend every year. Here is a reflection from one alumnae mom:

Where do you go on retreat to pray and renew your soul? For almost 10 years, I have made a tradition of going to the annual Moms’ Retreats offered by the Dominican Sisters in rural Dickson, Tennessee.

The first time I drove onto the property, the sun was setting and a golden glow shone on the beautiful building on the hill. I was struck by the beauty and wept for joy.

Some of the best things in life are hidden. For city folks, there is a hidden treasure to be discovered: Bethany Retreat House. A place where Jesus calls my heart to rest and to hear His voice.

A place to wander and experience nature and the woods.A place to discover a new saint or spiritual writer in the treasury of a well- curated library.

I have also found at Bethany a place to be fed by the sacraments, the greatest gift of our Catholic faith, and to be nourished by the love and radical hospitality of the Dominican Sisters, even if only for a short while.

God loves us so much! Blessed beyond words, I am grateful for Bethany Retreat House.

— reflection by jacqueline grant , mother of sophie claire grant , os ’16 and sca ’20

Jesus said to them, ‘Come away with me. Let us go alone to a quiet place and rest for a while.’

TAKING THE DOMINICAN DIFFERENCE into the world with Grace Regnier `18

2018 Salutatorian Grace Regnier was a stand-out during her years at SCA who distinguished herself in many ways. She won a full scholarship to the Honors College at the University of South Carolina. Four years later, we caught up with her as she completes her undergraduate work and prepares to head to Oxford University in England for graduate studies this fall.

TELL US ABOUT YOUR FAVORITE CLASSES AT SCA AND WHAT YOU APPRECIATE MOST ABOUT YOUR ST. CECILIA EDUCATION.

I had several favorite classes: AP European history, AP Chemistry, and AP Calculus BC, and my junior and senior year AP English classes. I loved my English and literature classes because the books we read were delightful and thought-provoking. I remember many lively discussions.

What I appreciate most is a difficult question— there is so much that I am grateful for and often think about. I think my teachers were exceptional. They encouraged the curious, driven parts of me and ordered them properly. We were, of course, held to a high standard and I had to work hard. But classwork was

not done merely for the sake of success—we were after the truth. I think that my time at SCA awakened my desire for truth for the sake of itself, and showed me how that pursuit plays a role in Christian life.

HOW DID YOU END UP AT THE UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA AND WHAT IS YOUR MAJOR?

I didn’t really expect I would end up at UofSC. I applied for admission to their Honors College because my good friend, Nicole Chandonnet (’17), had just enrolled there, and I trusted her judgment. I didn’t actually know about the Top Scholars program when I applied. Basically, UofSC selects 45 out-of-state students and invites them to an interview weekend. On the list of potential students, I was 46th out of 45—someone dropped the Monday before the interview weekend. The weekend went well, and I ended up receiving the Stamps Scholarship, a full-tuition scholarship with an added $10,000 enrichment fund that could be put toward all kinds of experiences. So UofSC seemed like the most reasonable option.

I am technically getting a dual-degree—a B.A. in Philosophy, and then also a B.S. in Biology with a minor in Neuroscience.When I entered college, I thought I would be a physician. I knew that I wanted to study philosophy in addition to science after being exposed to philosophy in AP Euro and the senior year Moral Theology course.

RECENTLY YOU WERE AWARDED A PRESTIGIOUS FULL-RIDE SCHOLARSHIP TO ATTEND OXFORD UNIVERSITY. CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT THIS OPPORTUNITY?

I received the John & Daria Barry Scholarship (“the Barry”). The scholarship is awarded to students who show a dedication to the academic vocation and the pursuit of truth, and it funds 2-3 years of graduate study at the University of Oxford for American citizens. There is a pool of professors who are nominators, and once nominated you go through an application process. Professor Jennifer Frey, an ethicist (and Thomist!) in our department, nominated me. I received notification that I had been

offered the Barry in December.Then I also had to apply for admission to Oxford, and I am happy to report I will enroll at Oriel College this fall.

I’ll take the B.Phil., which is essentially an M.A. in Philosophy, taking some coursework and writing a thesis, hopefully on the intersection of natural philosophy and ethics.

YOU WERE VERY INVOLVED IN THE THOMISTIC INSTITUTE WHILE IN COLLEGE, A RAPIDLY GROWING INITIATIVE OF THE DOMINICAN FRIARS IN WASHINGTON, D.C. HOW HAS INVOLVEMENT WITH THE THOMISTIC INSTITUTE SHAPED AS A PERSON?

The goal of the Thomistic Institute is to bring Catholic truth into the contemporary world, particularly the university. The Catholic intellectual tradition has much to offer to discourse about questions both perennial and new, and we try to get students of all backgrounds and beliefs to engage seriously with that tradition. The TI works by establishing campus chapters at different universities—there are over 60 now! Each chapter hosts public lectures on campus with renowned professors from across the country on topics like theology, philosophy, science, art, and history. We also organize reading and discussion groups for students. This semester my campus had lectures on happiness, biology and the soul, whether Christians and Muslims worship the same God, and on God and suffering.We hosted reading groups on Catholic Social Doctrine and Augustine’s Confessions.

Our TI chapter was handed to me as a freshman by Professor Frey—undergraduates were not involved, and it needed to be brought to the university and made into an official student organization. The TI has been a huge part of my college career, and it has shaped me profoundly. It is hard to put the extent of its effect on my life into words.

I think the most profound affect on my life has been the community of Catholic intellectuals into which I have been received. I have had countless dinners with many brilliant

professors and many wise Dominicans, but I also have friends in all stages of life and all different vocational walks from different universities across the country. At UofSC, some of my strongest friendships grew around building up the TI.

DURING COLLEGE, WHAT OPPORTUNITIES HAVE YOU RECEIVED TO GROW IN AND TO SHARE YOUR FAITH?

frequently receiving the sacraments. The Catholic community at UofSC has seen tremendous growth during my four years, and it offers a lot to students looking to deepen their faith.

I think I shared my faith most in the friendships I have made, both with other Catholics and with non-Catholics. Faith roots you, and many people are unmoored at some point in college. I found my non-Catholic friends turning to me simply because I was grounded and centered in something beyond myself. I hope that kind of stability was a kind of witness. I also found that having a close community of serious Catholic friends seriously enriched my faith. I have a strong sense of having grown with these people, and that was only possible through us all trying to pursue the Christian life together.

SCA HAS TALKED ABOUT "THE DOMINICAN DIFFERENCE" A LOT DURING THEIR STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS. AS A GRADUATE, WHAT DOES THIS PHRASE MEAN TO YOU? HOW ARE YOU DIFFERENT BECAUSE OF YOUR DOMINICAN SCA EXPERIENCE?

This is a hard question: sometimes it seems like faith alternates between growing and shrinking. I do think my faith has grown, but not without difficulty. I certainly think that my understanding of faith—what it entails, what it requires, what it gives—certainly has grown. On a broader level, I think I saw how different my faith made me from the rest of the world. I knew that Catholicism was counter-cultural, but I don’t think I understood what that looked like before college. The differences are stark and run deep. Being a serious Catholic is hard. I was able to lean on the support of the TI, but I also was able to grow in my faith through involvement with my campus ministry and FOCUS, participating in Bible studies and

I could talk about academic rigor, the classes, the community, or the experience, but, frankly, I think it comes back to love: the “Dominican Difference” is love. During my time at Overbrook and SCA, I simply felt loved for who I was and because I was. I felt that love from all my teachers at SCA, but I felt it especially from the Dominican Sisters. I realize now that this love does not come from the Sisters themselves, but it comes from God and is His love, abiding in the Sisters, which is expressed through their vocation as educators and is channeled into their teaching. I left SCA knowing that I was loved, and that love truly gave me the freedom to be transformed into a better version of myself.

“I left SCA knowing that I was loved, and that love truly gave me the freedom to be transformed into a better version of myself.”
