SPOTLIGHT ON The Future is Here!
The theme of this issue of St. Mary’s Magazine is The Future is Here! After years of planning and hard work, the dream of St. Mary’s Building Futures Campaign has come to fruition, as St. Mary’s new STEM and Gateway Building is open! St. Mary’s students are already learning and benefiting from the amazing facility, state-of-the-art technology and STEM laboratories. This issue features an article that highlights the opening of the new STEM and Gateway building, including pictures of the various spaces, laboratories and classrooms. We are grateful to each and every person who helped make this project a reality. St. Mary’s STEM and Gateway Building will be serving students on the North Shore for years to come! This issue also reviews 2020, which was a year unlike any other at St. Mary’s; a year that was filled with uncertainty, loss and change, but then hope as St. Mary’s launched our Care for All Reopening Plan. We are grateful to have reopened campus for in-person learning in Fall 2020. Read on for more about all things St. Mary’s, including profiles on our students, faculty, alumni, St. Mary’s Annual Report of Giving and Alumni Class Notes. Enjoy this issue of St. Mary’s Magazine!

Greetings FROM HEAD OF SCHOOL DR. JOHN F. DOLAN
Dear Alumni, Parents, Students, and Friends, I am honored to be at St. Mary’s at this pivotal moment in our history. Since Mr. Angeramo and I joined St. Mary’s, the school has experienced a 17% enrollment increase, including the creation of the Garrity Scholars Program; opened a new state of the art 30,000 square foot STEM building; and through the extraordinary efforts of our community, we reopened for in-person learning this past fall in the middle of a pandemic. During my time at St. Mary’s I have heard many stories that are testaments to the strength and resiliency of St. Mary’s. Our ability and commitment to remain open for in-person learning through COVID-19 will become another featured story among the legends of St. Mary’s. I have had the pleasure to witness firsthand the adaptive nature of our Spartans. The students, faculty and staff have quickly adjusted to wearing masks, social distancing, new schedules to ensure safety, and teaching classes simultaneously for students in the classroom and learning remotely. We have been blessed by the commitment of our community to these new practices, which comes second only to their commitment to wanting to be together each day in school. This past fall we opened and taught our first classes in the new STEM building. This space is instrumental to our ability to expand our curriculum and enhance the skills of our students. After graduating from St. Mary’s, and having taken STEM classes in the new building, our Spartans will leave with a drive to further explore careers in STEM and a comfortability with any equipment that they will encounter on a college campus. This year, St. Mary’s welcomed our second cohort of Garrity Scholars to campus. This scholarship is named for Monsignor Garrity, who through his leadership and emphasis on community, enhanced St. Mary’s. These Scholars have proven themselves to be leaders in our school and community. The Garrity scholarship continues to draw the most academically talented individuals to Tremont Street. In this time of COVID, it is so important that we take to heart the words of Father Brian Flynn, pastor of St. Mary of the Sacred Heart Parish, and look for the blessings. Whether those be in our personal lives, our work, or our community. At St. Mary’s, we have been gifted with so many blessings. I would like to thank each member of our community for contributing to these, through your generous gifts to our school, of your time, your donations and your students. It is only because of this that we are able to be open during a pandemic, and that our school continues to thrive. Wishing you many blessings, Dr. John F. Dolan Head of School

Welcome to St. Mary's Shari (Sagan) McGuirk P’20 joins St. Mary’s Board of Trustees Shari (Sagan) McGuirk discovered St. Mary’s when her daughter, Lily, was looking at high schools as an eighth-grader in 2015. After attending an open house, the search was over. “She came back and said that’s where she wanted to go to school,” McGuirk said. “Something clicked for her, and we were really attracted to the diversity of St. Mary’s and the smaller class sizes.” Shari and her husband, Steve, became involved in the school, serving as co-chairs of the inaugural Parent Advisory Council (PAC) last year. This fall, Shari was elected to the St. Mary’s Board of Trustees. “I’m excited to be part of the board,” she said. “I think it is a great group and I like working with smart people. I hope my fundraising background comes in handy.” McGuirk previously served as campaign director at the Jewish Federation of the North Shore. She has worked in real estate for the last 18 years and is a co-owner of Sagan Harborside Sotheby’s International Realty, a firm founded by her mother, Phyllis, a wellknown North Shore Realtor for more than 30 years. A Winthrop native who moved to Marblehead when she was in sixth grade, McGuirk went to Bates College, where she met Steve. Their daughter, Emma, graduated from Marblehead High School in 2011, while Lily was a member of the St. Mary’s Class of 2020 and is now at Clemson University. “She found her voice at St. Mary’s,” McGuirk said of Lily. “She had a great mentor in Mr. (Stephen) Russo, her math teacher. They really helped her reach her college goal.” Mark Mathers P’18’22, also a trustee, asked McGuirk to sit on the Catholic Identity subcommittee when Lily was a freshman. Three years later, Head of School Dr. John F. Dolan asked her and Steve to join Mike and Carolyn Richmond as co-chairs of the PAC. “It was a great way to see how the administration works,” McGuirk said. “I love the way they involve parents in decisions and in the growth of the school.” McGuirk, a Marblehead resident, is a certified kickboxing and strength training instructor. She sits on the North Shore Community College Foundation Board of Trustees and the board at Temple Emanu-El in Marblehead. By Paul Halloran

Welcome to St. Mary's St. Mary’s has welcomed a new neighbor to its Board of Trustees Vivian Iannotti is chief executive officer of Stop and Compare, which is opening its newest supermarket at 43 State St. — directly across the street from St. Mary’s. It will operate in part of the space that previously housed Shaw’s supermarket. When visiting the site, Iannotti says she met Head of School Dr. John F. Dolan and was impressed with the school and its mission. “What they’re doing for the students of Lynn is amazing,” said Iannotti, who was elected to the board on October 7. A family-owned and-operated business, Stop and Compare caters to the growing Latino community by providing a taste of their native homelands. The company has a market on Adams Street in Lynn, which opened in 2005, as well as one in Chelsea. Its newest downtown Lynn location, likely opening in late summer 2021, will not only be convenient for St. Mary’s families, but for the hundreds of residents who live within walking distance. “Our company’s mission and therefore my life’s work is twofold: Not only to improve the lives of our Latino people, including our employees and customers, but also to serve as an example of Latino success and a champion of the Latin culture,” said Iannotti. “There are a lot of bright, eager and hard-working Latino students right here in our Lynn community. I know they can hit it out of the park. If I can be but a stepping stone in that bridge for them to access an opportunity such as an education of the caliber St. Mary’s provides, I will be extremely fortunate.” Iannotti, along with her husband, Marc, joined the family business in 2004, with the intent of growing it. Her Cuban-born parents, Al and Betty Calvo, were entrepreneurs who found success in the ethnic food wholesale business and opened the company’s first retail store in 1996. “They immigrated here from Cuba with nothing,” she said. “Everything was confiscated. They always taught me that education is one thing no one can take from you.” Iannotti earned her bachelor’s degree in biology from Williams College and her master’s in physical therapy from the MGH Institute of Health Professions. She spent a decade working as an orthopedic physical therapist. She continues to have an interest in fitness, health and wellness and has integrated healthy eating initiatives in the stores. A Swampscott resident, Iannotti grew up in Newton and attended Jackson Walnut Park and Newton Country Day School — both of which are Catholic schools. Her children — a teenage daughter and 10-year-old twin sons — attend the Saints Academy in Beverly. “My faith is an important part of my everyday life,” she said, adding that Catholic education is something near and dear that she can always support. “I hope to be a conduit for St Mary’s and our Latino community.” By Paul Halloran

J.J. Green ’67 returns to the Board of Trustees You can’t keep a good trustee down – or away from the board for too long. Having served three consecutive 3-year terms on the Board of Trustees, John “J.J.” Green ’67, stepped down in 2019. He was asked to return this year and, as he always does, said “yes” to St. Mary’s. A former chair of the Governance Committee, Green returned to the Board of Trustees in October and expects to work with the current Governance chair, Mary Ann Calnan ’77. He said he would also focus on the school’s fundraising efforts. “Hopefully, we can grow our planned giving,” Green said. “We want people to be thinking about what they can do for St. Mary’s.” Green’s connection to St. Mary’s dates back to his youth when his mother, Ruth, was the cook at the rectory and convent. He and four of his six siblings all graduated from St. Mary’s High School, and they all went to St. Mary’s Elementary School.
Green, who was class vice president and an all-league basketball player, credits St. Mary’s for providing a strong educational and moral foundation. A Merrimack College graduate, he is the founder and president of J.J. Green & Associates, a company which represents contract furniture manufacturers in the education, healthcare, hospitality and corporate markets. He worked with St. Mary’s on procuring the furniture for the new STEM building. “We used five manufacturers and they agreed to sell to St. Mary’s directly so the school would not pay any mark-up,” Green said. As someone who has been associated with the school for more than 50 years, Green takes great pride in having witnessed its renaissance, from the Connell Center to the new STEM building. “We are positioned to meet the needs of the students of the future,” he said. Green and his wife, Joanne, have three adult children and eight grandchildren. They live in Glen, N.H. and spend the winters in Naples, Fla. By Paul Halloran

STUDENT PROFILE
Madison Spencer ’22 Madison Spencer ’22 knew she wanted to create lasting and lifelong friendships when she started high school, which is what led her to St. Mary’s. A third-generation St. Mary’s student, Madison follows her grandparents, Gerald D. Spencer ’51 and Eileen Moloney Spencer ’52, and her parents, Stephen Spencer ’87 and Laurie Barrett Spencer ’89, and aunts and uncles in attending St. Mary’s. “Growing up, I saw my parents with their friends from high school, and they’re all still very close,” Madison said. “So I knew St. Mary’s was a family environment, and I could meet people from different communities and create friendships.” But Madison’s more than just a St. Mary’s legacy. A Lynn native, she’s the president of the junior class, and a member of the Diversity Club and the Spanish Club. She’s a threesport athlete, playing for the girl’s soccer, basketball, and softball teams, like her mom did before her. When she’s not in school, Madison enjoys volunteering at local organizations. She volunteers every Sunday at North Shore Blazing Bears, a special needs soccer program. She teaches kids the fundamental skills of soccer, like how to kick and shoot a ball, and leads them in a scrimmage at the end of every practice. “It’s so fun to see them play and put the skills we teach them to use,” Madison said. “I look forward to going every week.”

Madison spent her summer volunteering with the COVID-19 Vaccination Team at Boston Medical Center. She built kits that COVID patients would receive, filled with information on the quarantine process, how to prepare yourself for the vaccination, and more information on COVID. Her aunt Debra Barrett McLaud ’74, who works at Boston Medical Center in the pediatric and infectious diseases branch, helped her secure the volunteer position. This opportunity not only allowed Madison to add another volunteer experience under her belt, but it also stemmed an interest in the medical field, specifically nursing. “I really liked the experience and the atmosphere of working in a hospital, and everyone there was so kind and welcoming,” Madison said. “I learned a lot of things I never would have learned if I didn’t volunteer there, and I can’t wait to volunteer again.” Currently a junior, Madison wants to be prepared for her senior year, and is touring and learning about colleges so when the time comes, her top schools are narrowed down. Some she’s interested in include High Point University, Elon University, Wake Forest University, Duke University, North Carolina State, and the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill. She’s interested in studying communication, as she likes public speaking and wants to make her voice heard. For now, Madison is looking forward to her senior year, and getting to plan events for her class, like Prom and the Junior Commissioning Ceremony. “I want to make the rest of our high school experience great for my class,” Madison said. “We only have two more years together, and I want to make the most of it.” By Christina Rasmussen ’16
STUDENT PROFILE which has really limited how we can help kids in these villages. We have been trying to think of ways to help, like donating school supplies and toys.”
Thiago Pereira ’21 Thiago Pereira ’21 knew he wanted to go to St. Mary’s after his sister Raphaela Pereira ’17 had made the decision to attend St. Mary’s for high school. “I’ve always followed my sister, ever since I was a kid,” Thiago said. “St. Mary’s was a great fit for her, so I thought it would be for me, too.” A Lynn native and Salem resident, Thiago participates in community service and outreach through the Ron Burton Training Village (RBTV) located in Hubbardston, MA, a 5-week summer program. Their mission is to ‘enrich the lives of challenged youth in the areas of dynamic character and leadership development, physical fitness, social and educational advancement, and spiritual growth.’ He started at RBTV when he was in the sixth grade at St. Pius, after he learned about it from a family friend. His days start out at 4:30 a.m. with a 7-mile run, and he participates in SAT prep courses, spiritual growth, and other physical fitness related growth each day. “My grades went from C’s and D’s to A’s and B’s, by simply attending the camp,” Thiago said. “They pushed me and helped me to better myself academically. They definitely put you to the test.”
Along with the experiences at RBTV, teachers and faculty at St. Mary have also contributed to Thiago’s education. Staying after school to help him learn the curriculum, allowing him extra credit opportunities, and just being there to lend a helping hand have brought not only his grades up, but his confidence as well. “When I realized I could become an A-student, I wasn’t so nervous anymore,” Thiago said. “Teachers and faculty at St. Mary’s really want to see you succeed. The camp has honestly made me such a better person. Without it, I wouldn’t be where I am right now, at St. Mary’s.” Locally, Thiago has volunteered at My Brother’s Table, as well as being the captain of the swim team and member of the boy’s soccer team and the Diversity Club at St. Mary’s. As far as the future goes, Thiago is hoping to attend Stonehill College as an undeclared major, and will of course keep in touch with all of the friends he has made throughout his four years at St. Mary’s. “I’ve always loved helping kids, and I love science,” Thiago said. “I would love any job where I’m able to help someone else.” By Christina Rasmussen ’16
Through RBTV, Thiago was introduced to School the World, a non profit organization that helps educate children in poverty stricken communities both in the U.S. and in countries around the world. “I’ve gone to Guatemala twice and Panama recently with them,” Thiago said. “We obviously can’t travel with COVID,

STATE CHAMPIONSHIP RUN EXTENDS TO 13 YEARS The Spartan golf team made sure to take the pressure off the winter and spring teams in terms of extending the tremendous run of consecutive years with at least one state championships on Tremont Street by capturing the 2019 state championship in October before the girls basketball team added a second St. Mary’s championship for 19–20 season at the Boston Garden in March. In capturing its third straight team state title, and fifth since 2005, St. Mary’s shot an aggregate 27–over–315. The Spartans topped a crowded leaderboard that included Weston (318), Bishop Stang and Mashpee (319), and Dover-Sherborn (320). “It’s an incredible feeling,” said St. Mary’s coach Jay Fiste. “I knew we had a solid team this year, and we were really built well for tournament play.” Luke Smith '21 and Aiden Emmerich '22 tied for seventh overall in individual play for the Spartans with identical 4–over 76s while Luke Sargent '20 (80) and Pete Pagliuca '21 (83) rounded out the Spartans top four scores for the title. The girls’ basketball team set a program record with 25 wins and captured their third state title in the past 10 years concluding with a 53–37 win over Rockland at the Boston Garden.

“This was a tremendous journey that began in November and was an absolute pleasure to be involved with for four months,” said head coach Jeff Newhall. “Obviously one of the best groups we have ever had on the floor, but more importantly they are all great kids and top level students.” The Spartans (25–2) lost the season opener before reeling off 19 straight wins and closed out the season winning their last 6 in a row for the title. Led by Boston Herald/ Globe All-Scholastic and Daily Item Player of the Year Maiya Bergdorf '21, as well as Gabby Torres '20, Olivia Matela '20, Janisse Avelino '20, Nicolette D’Itria '21, Alyssa Grossi '21, Pejáe Parent '21, Van Nguyen '21, Achan Wol '21, Krystana Manthorne '22, Abby Constine '22, Olivia Abbott '22, Yirsy Queliz '23, and Kellyn Preira '23, the Spartans breezed to the North title with wins over Austin, Fenwick and Amesbury by an average margin of 27 points before the big triumph in Boston. “The team was focused on winning the state championship from day one after falling in the title game in 2019,” said Newhall. “To see all the hard work come to fruition that resulted in that coveted championship is the reason why we are all in this business.”
SPARTAN NATION This year, St. Mary’s enrollment soared with 600 students across grades 6–12. These students represent a diverse mix of learners from 30 different cities and towns across the North Shore who are interested in academics, sports and various clubs and activities.

AN UNPRECEDENTED TIME ON
TREMONT STREET On March 12, 2020, St. Mary’s announced that the school would have a half day of in-person learning on Friday, March 13 and switch to remote learning for a two-week period effective Monday, March 16. No one could have predicted that would be the last day on campus for months to come.
each student. We did not miss a day of learning due to the hard work of our faculty.”
“The day of March 12 consisted of hours spent in the boardroom with the COVID-19 Emergency Task Force Team, making phone call after phone call to determine the direction we needed to go in according to city and state directives to keep our community safe.” said Head of School Dr. John F. Dolan. “It was a trying day to say the least.”
The communication from the school was a source of comfort during a time when it was needed.“ says Parent Advisory Council Co-Chair Mike Richman. “The school did a great job keeping us informed in a timely manner throughout the entire school closure.”
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, March 13 was the last inperson day of learning for St. Mary’s and all schools across the state. St. Mary’s students benefited from the digital 1:1 interactive learning platform as it allowed the transition to remote learning to be immediate. However, it was certainly a transition from the traditional in-person learning and it also meant that sports, clubs and all other extracurricular activities came to an end. “It was an abrupt way to say goodbye to one another,” says St. Mary’s senior Declan Dorgan ’21, ‘One day we were in school learning and the next we were looking at one another through a screen. It was a difficult change, but I am proud of my classmates and how they persevered during those times.” Faculty went to work to deliver a stellar online learning environment. St. Mary’s teachers were already well-versed in working with a digital learning platform, as they use the online portals to post work and receive assignments from students, they teach in classes using iPads for learning, and more. “This certainly helped as we launched into solely remote learning.” Associate Head of School David Angeramo said, “All of the teachers took the initiative to make remote learning work for their individual classes and

Communication was key as information was changing and being updated constantly. St. Mary’s went to work to create a COVID-19 update page and email messages to the community.
St. Mary’s Administrative team also launched an outreach program in which each St. Mary’s family was contacted via phone to ensure they had what they needed during those difficult days in lockdown. This effort proved meaningful to many families who were faced with various hardships and issues during the height of the pandemic. Through those many months of quarantine and remote learning, St. Mary’s worked to keep the Spartan Pride alive! Several efforts were launched to honor our students, including a call for SMH Online Learning photos, and creating videos to honor our students and thank our teachers. St. Mary’s honored the graduating students of the Senior Class of 2020, with a virtual tribute, virtual May Crowning in their honor and a Senior Spartan Box Drop with diplomas, caps and gowns and other keepsake items. The Marian Division 8th grade class and all new incoming Freshmen were honored with Welcome to The Class of 2024 signs delivered to their homes. Through it all the St. Mary’s Community came together during one of the most difficult times in Spartan History to help one another stay positive, stay safe and strong. As the end of the ‘unlike any other’ school year came to a close, one thing was clear, St. Mary’s is best when we are together. The goal was set; St. Mary’s would reopen in the
Fall of 2020 for in-person learning. That goal launched the creation of St Mary’s Care for All Reopening Plan, which was announced to the community at large on June 4, 2020. The plan focused on three core tenants to drive a successful reopening. The first is Spartan Community, which is the sense of community in which students will worship and learn together. The second is Excellence in Teaching and Learning, which we believe is in its best form when teachers and students have the option to be learning together. The third is Safe and Secure which represents the goal to make sure St. Mary’s is safe and secure for our students, faculty, and staff. “We do few things better than when we worship with one another, and we do few things better than when we learn from each other in a community,” said Head of School Dr. John F. Dolan. As part of the reopening plan, St. Mary’s also offered a remote learning option to those students who could not yet learn in person. “We understand families may
have reasons why a student must learn from home, if they have a compromised immune system, if they live with a high-risk family member or if they are just not comfortable with in-person learning yet.” said Angeramo. “We wanted to give them the opportunity to continue learning at St. Mary’s without having to report to campus.” The COVID-19 Emergency Task Force Team worked together on every detail of the plan all summer long. There were many items needed for reopening that were brand new to the school and required significant time and resources to plan and purchase. However, St. Mary’s did what was required to be able to offer families the option to have their students learn in person, both on the Tremont Street campus for St. Mary’s students grade 6–12 and for Sacred Heart preschool – grade 5 on the Boston Street campus. “We want our students here on our campus and we were going to do everything we could to make that possible.” Dolan said.

OPEN AND
FLOURISHING St. Mary’s successfully reopened campus thanks to the Care for All plan. The first day we welcomed students to campus was for new student orientation on Monday, August 31. The first week of school commenced on September 1. There was a gradual opening the first three days to allow students to get acclimated to the change in routine and learn what was expected of them with the new guidelines. Grades 6 to 8 returned on September 1, grades 6 to 10 on September 2 and all grades on September 3. By Tuesday, September 8, all students were on campus for a full day of in-person learning on campus. “We believed in our plan and if our community could follow the rules set forth — to wear a mask, keep your distance and wash your hands, that there could be a path forward.” said Dolan. St. Mary’s community largely supported in-person learning as well, with approximately 10% of families opting for remote learning. “Families are confident in our plan and trust we are doing all the right things to keep our community safe,” said Dolan. Students have been doing an amazing job adapting to the new routines required of them to be an in-person learner at St. Mary’s during the COVID-era. Masks are worn at all times, students “stay to the right’ in the halls as they walk, they are comfortable eating with just one other classmate safely spaced and have learned you can’t give a hug or a high five to their classmates 18 ST.

the way they once may have done. The benefits of learning in-person far outweigh any negative the students may feel regarding the extra care they have to take when in the building. In addition to the existing space that allowed in person learning to safely occur, on October 19, St. Mary’s new STEM and Gateway building opened for learning which expanded the available learning space by an additional 30,000 square-feet. At the time of publication, St. Mary’s successfully completed two quarters without having to ever switch to fully remote learning. The success of the Care for All Reopening Plan was not solely in the work St. Mary’s did to prepare to open, as it is the responsibility of everyone to do what is asked of them in order to keep the community safe. “It is really quite simple. If everyone follows the rules — mask wearing, keeping your distance, hand washing and most importantly, if you feel sick, or if someone in your household is sick, stay home — those guidelines do work.” Dolan said, “We have seen it first hand this Fall at St. Mary’s and we are so proud of our community for doing their part to keep themselves and one another safe.” Keep up the good work St. Mary’s! You truly are caring for all! By Jamie Gigliotti
Care for All Reopening Plan Details • Masks: St. Mary’s masks were purchased and students and faculty are required to wear masks at all times in the building. • Classrooms: All rooms were arranged with desks a minimum of 3-feet apart, in rows and all facing forward. • Cleaning Protocols: New equipment and supplies were purchased for each classroom and areas of the building and additional staff was hired to clean consistently throughout the school day. • Signage: COVID-19 messaging was installed across campus. • Dining Commons: Food service had to be adapted and additional lunch sections were added. • Contact Tracing: Seats and tables were numbered and assigned to each student for classes and lunch. Before and after school students must sign in and report seating information. • Technology: Each classroom was outfitted with a 65” interactive screen to allow remote learners and in-person learners to have real time instruction. • Student Health Center: A new student health center was created in addition to the current nurse's office. • COVID-19 Protocols: St. Mary’s created a detailed website section with a clear outline of guidelines for our entire community. • Day in the Life: St. Mary’s created a tutorial video for students on what to expect when back on campus.

SECOND CLASS OF
GARRITY SCHOLARS ENROLLED St. Mary’s High School has selected their second group of Msgr. Paul V. Garrity Scholars, recipients of a four-year, full tuition scholarship. The Garrity Scholars program is a $1 million scholarship initiative named for the former pastor of St. Mary’s Parish, who is credited with leading St. Mary’s High School to new levels of academic achievement during his tenure in Lynn. “Monsignor Garrity’s efforts to have St. Mary’s recognized as one of the strongest Catholic schools in the archdiocese are still felt today,” said Head of School Dr. John F. Dolan. The Garrity Scholars is a competitive, merit-based program that recognizes the best and brightest students interested in a transformative educational experience offered at St. Mary’s. The scholarship program acknowledges excellence through focus on STEM education, personal leadership qualities and a commitment to the St. Mary’s pillars of Catholic, Excellence, Integrity and Respect, all hallmarks of Msgr. Garrity. The 2020 Garrity Scholars, with their hometown and previous school are: • Michelle Azzun, Lynn, St. Pius V School • Nadia Del Sonno, Saugus, Our Lady of the Assumption School • Elizabeth Fox, Reading, Coolidge Middle School • Joseph Goyette, Salem, St. John’s the Baptist School • Thomas Hooks, Saugus, St. Mary of the Annunciation School • Kaya Jackson, Salem, Salem Charter School • Cierra Johnson, Lynn, Immaculate Conception School • Colby Kelly, Lynn, Our Lady of the Assumption School • Kyle Kwiatek, Saugus, St. Mary’s Marian Division • Julie Liuzza, Saugus, St. Mary’s Marian Division • Janier Rodriguez Jr., Saugus, St. Mary’s Marian Division • Isaiah Weston, Hamilton, The Saints Academy The Garrity Scholars will also be part of the St. Mary’s Scholars program, which provides additional classwork, faculty mentors, team-building activities and college-preparedness training. Garrity Scholars were selected based on their academic achievement, teacher recommendations, scores on the Archdiocesan high school placement test, essay, and interview with a panel of St. Mary’s administrators and faculty.

As part of the application process for the Garrity Scholars program, students were asked to submit an essay on what leadership means to them. Here are some excerpts from those essays: MICHELLE AZZUN “A quote that I love is a quote by American Christian Author, Joyce Meyer. The quote states “God will give you the power to have peace in the midst of a storm”. As a Christian I believe that God never gives me a task that He believes that I can’t handle. And with that He always grants me the patience and peace to overcome a hard task that has come over me. Also being Christian I believe in giving back to the less fortunate and having a sense of humility.” NADIA DEL SONNO “I believe St. Mary’s will offer me the opportunity to continue to be a leader both academically and spiritually. It will give me a faith-based environment with lots of diversity and the ability to continue to live my L.I.F.E. tradition. I will also get to follow in the footsteps of someone who has been a great leader and role model to me, my sister Sofia. She taught me, through example, to be an individual while respecting others, to appreciate each person’s voice and to give back.” ELIZABETH FOX “Leadership is a powerful word that carries great responsibility. To me, leadership is defined by the ability to model empathy and show respect toward others, to show acceptance and caring, to give of myself when people are in need, and to be a person whose examples are those that other people would want to follow.” JOSEPH GOYETTE “A good leader is someone who can leave an imprint, not only on their peers, but on their surrounding environment as well. Honesty and integrity are also important traits of being a leader. As Dwight D. Eisenhower, the 34th President of the United States said, “The supreme quality of leadership is integrity. Without it, no real success is possible.” A leader needs to be a person of integrity and honesty. When you are honest, it can spark honesty in your followers.” THOMAS HOOKS “Every leader has to be accountable. You can not be a leader if you continuously do the wrong thing and not learn from your mistakes. At St. Mary’s I plan to be a leader by trying my best to do the right thing and by being an example to my peers. If I were to make a mistake and do something wrong, I would be accountable for my actions and learn from my mistakes. In many situations I will need to think before I act.” KAYA JACKSON “I lead through demonstration, encouragement, and instruction. At St. Mary’s I hope to build upon these same activities and to develop my leadership further. At school I portray leadership in all my classes. ... Closer to home I show leadership by assisting my elderly neighbor.
My neighbor is a cancer survivor, so I help her with carrying heavy objects and helping her with her three grandchildren. I babysit them, so she can relax and more easily enjoy their company.” CIERRA JOHNSON “I am a leader that believes that it’s never too early to make a change. After the Stoneman Douglas shooting in Florida, with the principal’s approval, I led a 17-minute walkout against gun violence to our church. There I gave a speech and we prayed for the 17 children who lost their lives, honoring them with candles.” COLBY KELLY “There are many qualities that a leader must possess, but kindness is the most important one. Some people think that being kind is listening to your mom and taking out the trash without arguing about it. Kindness is so much more than that. Kindness is a bunch of small acts done over and over, so much, they become automatic.” KYLE KWIATEK “Leadership is a trait that everyone, including St. Mary’s students, should have. It is defined as a person who guides or directs a group, but I believe it to be much more. As a leader it is crucial to be adaptable so you can set an example in the most difficult of situations. Being a leader isn’t just a teaching experience it is a learning experience. As leader you learn from your mistakes and you adapt to fix them.” JULIE LIUZZA “Being a leader doesn’t have requirements. There isn’t a class you have to take or a test you have to pass to be a leader. You don’t need to be a celebrity or an influencer or have a certain amount of followers on social media. You only have to be the best you can be. Find the light in the darkness, embrace it, and inspire others to do the same.” JANIER RODRIGUEZ JR. “I’m an only child and did not always have someone to look up to. So I would want to be that freshman student that incoming sixth graders could look up to knowing that I will have their back. If we show the next generation what it is to be a good, civilized human being, the tradition will follow and the future will be bright for St. Mary’s.” ISAIAH WESTON “Unlike some leaders, I will not break under pressure, and no matter what I will try to do what’s right even if it goes against popular belief. I want to always try to make sure the people around me are feeling valued, and I appreciate their input. That I am here to listen. I feel it is equally important to speak but to also actively listen to those around you.”

FACULTY PROFILE
Will Goldenheim Biology, Marine Science, and Forensic Science teacher Will Goldenheim’s fascination with science started at the age of twelve when he became a certified scuba diver. When he went on dives he thought it was “cool to see a new underwater world and wanted to know how it all worked together.” In college, Mr. Goldenheim received his Sc.B. in Marine Biology and a Masters in Biology, studying tropical coral reefs. Interestingly, he didn’t begin teaching right away. He worked as a business strategy consultant for four years focused mostly in life sciences and biotech before coming to the “realization that it was not the correct career.” A part-time job teaching one class of Marine Biology in a private school in Brookline led to a full time position. He stayed there for five years before coming to St. Mary’s last year. He knew that this was the “right job” for him. Mrs. Diane Haas, Science and Engineering Department Head, said that he is “dynamic in and out of the classroom. We are blessed to have him as a member of the science team.” In addition to teaching, he was excited to bring rowing to the school. Growing up, he played a variety of sports, but at the age of twelve discovered that rowing was his “athletic home.” He spent the fall and winter trying to overcome “hurdles of convincing kids” to try something they didn’t know. ”Practices had begun and the slow build to spring was on. We were ready to go, “ said Mr. Goldenheim, “ready to drive to the first practice on Monday, but then we closed that Friday.” Due to state regulations and space, practices for the current school year have not begun yet, but through the “extreme generosity of a donor,” the team is now equipped to row safely and within the guidelines this spring. 22 ST.

Family is very important to him. Mr. Goldenheim is married with two young daughters, two and half year old Emma and five month old Hazel. He started the year teaching from home which was a “ bit of a juggling act, but my wife was extremely supportive.” He feels that his students understood why he was doing it. He is a positive role model to his students who saw him taking paternity leave to care for his family and being able to balance between taking care of two young girls and teaching. Mr. Goldenheim is thrilled that the new STEM building is complete. “It is incredible and feels just like a really nice college campus. The state of the art facility has everything needed for high school science and more. To teach in a real lab where experiments take place is wonderful.” He believes that students will “feel more like real scientists if they are using up to date new equipment.” Because of his varied path, he believes that it is good for kids to “wander a bit before finding what they want to do and sticking to it. It only gets harder to explore what the world has to offer. No job needs to be your final career unless you love it.” He has done a lot of interesting things in his life: he drove cross country three times, rode his bike from Maine to Key West and attended circus camp where he learned to ride a unicycle and juggle. “I had some amazing experiences in my life. It is incredible to have two little girls, and I feel so fortunate to have a job I love that also allows me to be with my family as much as I can. I have a lot to be grateful for.” St. Mary’s is grateful for him. By Stacy Drector

Diane Haas Science and Engineering Department Head Diane Haas is ecstatic that the new STEM building is open. She came to St. Mary’s last year after teaching many years in public school with a Master’s Degree in Education and a certificate of educational leadership. “St. Mary’s feels like home,” she continued, “it’s special to be a member of this community.” Mrs. Haas is “grateful to have such a wonderful department” to work with and since taking over as Department Head, has been instrumental in ordering the equipment necessary to provide projectbased learning for our students. She strongly believes that it will equip them with twenty-first century skills. Under her leadership, the science department has added a learning lab, which includes hydroponics and aquaponics units. AP Biology teacher, Mr. Will Goldenheim, states, “Diane has made a huge impact in less than a year of being Department Chair. We have an amazing, new facility, but she is the reason we don’t have the same programs with a new building. I truly believe we are working in the best STEM facility in the area because of Diane’s tireless work to bring the level of our equipment and instruction into alignment with the building.” Mrs. Haas’ love for science leads her to teach her students skills that are necessary to be productive in what awaits them in the complex global society. Eighth grader Bree Maloney recalled, “We did a lot of handson group activities and posters that represented what we learned,” when talking about Mrs. Haas’ Life Science
class. Eighth grader Brooke Maloney loved the virtual science fair created during the COVID-19 pandemic, “One of my favorite activities was the Science Fair, even if it was virtual. We created a project that we presented to a committee of judges as well as wrote a paper on it.” Mrs. Haas believes “science is not a separate entity. It encompasses all disciplines of learning and wants to collaborate with other departments to foster learning.” We are very fortunate to have someone like Mrs. Haas at St. Mary’s. Outside of school, Diane cans and preserves what she grows in her garden, enjoys quilting, beads wedding gowns and taps trees to make maple syrup. Two years ago, she ran her first 5K at Disney. She is married with “three beautiful girls and three grandchildren who are my everything.” By Stacy Drector

LEGACY ALUMNI STORY
Greeley/Fitch Family How many of us are lucky enough to say that our closest friends are ones we made in high school? Jack Greeley, class of ’59 and his daughter, Karen Fitch, class of ’88, are two of the lucky ones. In 1959, students entered a much different school than today’s St. Mary’s. The boys went to one building and the girls to another. The boys and girls weren’t supposed to talk and if they did, the boys were fined $2.00. The cafeteria was under the chapel where one class at a time had lunch starting with the freshmen at 10:00 and the last class finishing before dismissal. Dances were held at the local gym or at Lynn Classical with the boys on one side and the girls on the other; no one danced until it was ladies’ choice. Jack’s “staunch Catholic parents” came from Ireland so his attending St. Pius and St. Mary’s was the “cultural thing to do.” “The nuns were tough, but school was fun.” Jack said. Over the years, Jack and his classmates stayed in touch with the nuns who had retired by writing to them and helping them financially. Jack recently attended his 60th High School reunion and is still close to his former classmates. The reunion committee consists of “twelve girls and four boys who meet every few month for lunch. We have had the same committee for years.” While the STEM building was under construction, Jack was fortunate enough to tour with Associate Head of School, David Angeramo, whose mother, Bertha, was a classmate of Jack’s. St. Mary’s is so important to him and his classmates, that members of the classes of ’58 and 24 ST. MARY'S MAGAZINE

’59 donated $50,000 to name a classroom in the new STEM Building. Jack’s daughter, Karen Fitch, also is a St. Mary’s alumnus. When she was a student here, there were two buildings, but students had to go outside to go to the other classes. The whole class (ninety-nine students) ate lunch together. Karen fondly remembers Mr. Phil Coleman, her guidance counselor, who is now her daughter Liz’s guidance counselor too. Years after graduation, Karen lived in Norfolk, Massachusetts before “coming home.” The St. Mary’s world is “small” and Karen and her daughters, C.C, a freshman and Liz, a junior, attended an open house with Christine White Miller, a former classmate, lifelong friend and whose aunt is everyone’s favorite former math teacher, Mrs. Fran White. The girls knew immediately that St. Mary’s was for them. C.C., a member of the National Junior Honor Society stated that it is “cool to be a third generation to go here. Grampy knows everyone.” Liz is a member of St. Mary’s Dance Team. Coming to St. Mary’s was and is very special to the Greeley/Fitch family. By Stacy Drector

ST. MARY’S PRESENTS 2020 SERVICE AWARD TO DEDICATED ALUMNUS On July 15, 2020, Tom Bourke, St. Mary’s Class of ’65, was presented with the William F. Connell ’55 Service Award, an award presented to an alumnus who demonstrates consistent and exemplary service.
Bourke’s most visible and longstanding connection with St. Mary’s has been his landscaping efforts. He began working the grounds days after his 16th birthday. He loved the part-time work and quickly took ownership of all the landscape maintenance. When the parish and school faced financial challenges in the mid-1980s, Bourke agreed to continue his service as a volunteer. He noted that he could not have done it without the modestly compensated help of his son, Eric, and his friend Mike Doyle, a teacher at St. Mary’s in the 1970s. During his time at St. Mary’s, Bourke was a student-athlete, running track, serving as captain of the baseball team and becoming an MVP in football, a (Lynn) Daily Item All-Star and an Agganis All Star. He was named to the Boston Globe All-Scholastic Team and was a finalist for the Archdiocesan system-wide Student-Athlete Award. At Providence College, Bourke worked with his Spanish professor helping to resettle Cuban refugees, tutored students in writing, was a Big Brother to inner-city children, and was elected president of Delta Epsilon Sigma, the Providence College Chapter of the National Catholic Honor Fraternity. Awarded a graduate teaching fellowship, he was involved in civil rights and social justice activities at the University of Michigan and earned his Master’s degree there.
professionally to become dean of students, and with his guidance, the student life component provided countless services to the Lynn community — including food and blood drives, Lynn Woods cleanups, the establishment of a child care center, a women’s center, health and intercultural fairs, and many theatre and arts programs. He retired from North Shore Community College in 2007. Bourke also served on the Lynn School Committee from 1986–90 and worked to successfully bring Lynn into compliance with the state’s special education guidelines and federal Equal Educational Opportunity requirements. For many years, he served as treasurer and a volunteer for the Stephen Bourke Fund, named for his nephew, who died of leukemia at age 4. The foundation has raised more than $500,000 for the Floating Hospital for Children at Tufts Medical Center, funded a research lab and established the first parent-advocate position. Bourke and his wife, Madeline (Fraher), Class of ’65, celebrated 50 years of marriage last year. The couple had their first date at the St. Mary’s Sophomore Social in 1963. They are proud parents of Jessica and Eric, and grandparents of Ainsley, Reese and Mairin Tully, and Ella and Emry Bourke, all of Manchester-by-the-Sea.
STUDENT RECIPIENTS Each year, Juniors are invited to apply to for the William F. Connell ’55 Service Award and receive a scholarship for their Senior year. This year’s student recipients Declan Dorgan, Ashley McGrath, Emily Santos and Alesha Cesar, all demonstrated exemplary service achievements throughout their high school careers and hours of service dedicated to helping their communities.

Kathy Coughlin Aylward ’69 was a four-year varsity basketball player for coach Sister Ellen Newell at a time when there were limited opportunities in girls sports. She was voted best female athlete in her class.
Kerry D’Amico DiCiaccio ’88 was a three-sport standout (soccer, basketball, softball) who earned Catholic Central League MVP honors in basketball and softball. As a pitcher, she won 40 games in her softball career and hit .696 her senior year. She went on to a standout career at Fitchburg State.
Gerard Festa ’03, who transferred to St. Mary’s as a junior, was an all-scholastic football player and hockey star who rushed for 1,974 yards and led Eastern Mass. in scoring in 2002. He went on to play football at Endicott College.
Tim Fila ’88, one of the best pitchers ever at St. Mary’s, was a workhorse who helped lead the Spartans to state championships in 1987 and 1988. The southpaw went 26–2 in his career and earned 21 wins in a 43-game unbeaten streak. He was captain of the undefeated (25–0) 1988 team, going 11–0 with 138 strikeouts and eight walks.
ANNUAL EDITION 2020
Erin McAndrews ’10 won five state championships and was a fivetime all-star in hockey and softball, starting her St. Mary’s career as an eighth-grader. In hockey, she helped the Spartans win 77 straight games and three state titles (2008–09–10). A dominant softball player, she hit over .500 in her career, leading the Spartans to state championships in 2009 and 2010. She played at Suffolk University, where she was named the Great Northeast Athletic Conference Player of the Year as a junior.
Christen Hart ’08 scored 200 points (68 goals, 132 assists) and helped lead the girls hockey team to state championships in 2005 and 2008. A four-time league allstar and two-time allscholastic, she played at the University of Southern Maine.
Perhaps the best girls soccer player ever to take the pitch for St. Mary’s, Amanda Webster ’09 is the program’s all-time leading scorer with 156 points (102 goals, 54 assists). She was a two-time league MVP, all-scholastic and all-New England selection. She was the first St. Mary’s girls soccer player to earn a Div. 1 scholarship, playing at Santa Clara University and graduating from Providence College.
Courtney Winters ’10 scored 234 points (125 goals, 109 assists) for girls hockey teams that won 77 straight games and three state titles (2008–09–10). She was league MVP and all-scholastic as a senior. She went on to a standout career at Saint Anselm, where she was named a Div. 3 All-America.
The 1969 boys cross country team, under coach Joe Abelon, finished third in the state and third in New England. The Spartans won 36 straights dual meets from 1967–69, led by Joe Crowley, who placed ninth in the 1969 N.E. meet.
Vin Olivo, a 1949 St. Mary’s graduate, coached the boys basketball team from 1978–82. He restored a championship culture to a program that had not had a winning season in 17 years when he took over. His St. Mary’s teams went 63–27 and won an Eastern Mass. championship (in a year in which there was no state final played due to Proposition 2½).
A member of the Massachusetts Baseball Coaches Association Hall of Fame, Jim Tgettis coached the Spartans to backto-back state championships and a 43game unbeaten streak in 1987 and 1988. His 1983 team won the Eastern Mass. championship in a year in which there was no state championship game.
If you have been to a St. Mary’s sporting event the last quarter-century, there is a very good chance you saw Joe Farrell. A valuable member of Athletic Director Jeff Newhall’s staff, Farrell serves as site manager for football, soccer, basketball, baseball and softball games, doing the behind-the-scenes work that has helped the St. Mary’s athletic program win 26 state championships since 1987.

CUSHING SOCIETY CELEBRATION On October 10, the 2019 Cardinal Cushing Award was presented to Dr. Elizabeth A. Molloy Twomey ’52 at the 23rd annual Cushing Society Celebration at the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem. Also honored that evening was Elaine Gustafson with the William F. Connell ’55 Service Award. “We are privileged to honor two strong women whose unyielding commitment to St. Mary’s has helped put us in the position the school enjoys today,” said Head of School Dr. John F. Dolan. The Cardinal Richard Cushing Society was established to celebrate commitment to Catholic education and to honor its generous supporters. The Cardinal Cushing Award is presented annually to a vigorous champion of Catholic education whose personal and professional life mirror St. Mary’s mission. “Presenting these awards gives us the opportunity to acknowledge those who live out the mission of St. Mary’s, and honor the memory of champions of Catholic education in general, and our school in particular,” St. Mary’s Board of Trustees Chair William Mosakowski said. A 1952 graduate of St. Mary’s Girls’ High School, Twomey continued her education under the tutelage of the Sisters of Notre Dame at Emmanuel College, where she received her bachelor’s degree in English and Psychology. She later earned a Master’s in Education at Salem State College and a Doctorate in Educational Administration at Boston College. Twomey began her career as a classroom teacher in Lynn, and has served in a variety of leadership capacities, including as a school principal in Reading, Superintendent of Schools in Lincoln, associate commissioner for the Massachusetts Department of Education, and Deputy Commissioner of the New Hampshire Department of Education. In 1994, Twomey was appointed commissioner of the New Hampshire Department of Education, where she was widely praised for her educational leadership and commitment to academic excellence. Most recently, Twomey taught for 12 years at the Lynch School of Education as well as the Roche Center for Catholic Education at Boston College.

She currently serves as vice chair of the St. Mary’s Board of Trustees and chair of its Education Committee. “No one person has done more for the real work of St. Mary’s — excellence in teaching and learning — than Betty Twomey,” Dolan said. The William F. Connell ’55 Service Award is given in recognition of consistent and exemplary service. It is named for a St. Mary’s graduate whose boundless generosity to the school included a $5 million bequest. This year Mrs. Margot Connell presented the award to Elaine Gustafson. Gustafson continues to honor the memory of her late husband, Paul Gustafson ’59, by supporting St. Mary’s students through the Gustafson Family Scholarship. Paul was the 2006 recipient of the Cardinal Cushing Award. “Elaine’s affection for St. Mary’s was developed through her late husband, and she has remained a committed and loyal supporter in the years since his passing,” Dolan said. “Her generosity has helped make a St. Mary’s education possible for countless students.” Daniel Lobo ’10, a recipient of the first Gustafson Family Scholarship, spoke during the celebration about how a St. Mary’s education paved the way for him to attend Harvard University, from which he graduated in 2014. “Talent is equally distributed, but opportunity is not,” Lobo said, encouraging those in attendance to support St. Mary’s so other students in his situation will be able to attend. Gustafson served as an associate professor at Yale University School of Nursing (YSN), where she directed the school-based Health Care Concentration. She currently serves as an associate clinical professor at YSN. She previously worked as a pediatric nurse practitioner at a community health center and middle school in Connecticut. Gustafson works with special-needs children through her volunteer work at Easter Seals of Southwest Florida and serves on its advisory board. In April, 2019, she was elected to the Yale Alumni Association Board of Governors. By Paul Halloran

It may not be the way any one would have imagined, but the St. Mary’s Class of 2020 finally got to toss their graduation caps in the air and say goodbye to the school that they called home for four years. St. Mary’s 139th commencement ceremony was held at St. Mary’s church where more than 100 Spartans, some in attendance donning masks along with their cap and gowns and others watching live on social media, were honored in front of family, friends and faculty. “Greetings to the class of 2020, it’s just so good to see you, it really is,” St. Mary’s Head of School Dr. John F. Dolan said to the crowd. “We are so pleased to be here to honor our graduates even if it is late July and it’s 99 degrees. Everything is different. On March 12 we dismissed our students for two weeks only to have it turn out the way it did today.” Thankfully, after talks of a virtual commencement and other options, an in-person commencement was made possible. The Class of 2020 has already been through plenty, but it’s also given them a chance to show their character. “Your perseverance and trust in your faith has demonstrated to all of us that the Class of 2020 will continue to make us proud,” Dolan said. “You’ve made me proud, you’ve made your school community proud. I can only imagine the pride of your family to see you graduate today. To the Class of 2020, Godspeed. You have been tested and you have still moved forward.”
did everything they could to help us finish off our year successfully and safely.” “It’s important to acknowledge everyone who has contributed to all of our successes during our time here,” Leo said. “We have our parents, who always push us to be the best that we can be. Whether it was academics, sports or clubs, they always encouraged us to do more and not settle for anything less. They helped us set our goals because they knew we could achieve them. “And let’s not forget the tremendous support we’ve received from our fellow classmates,” she said. “Friendship is truly the glue that held us all together. No matter how stressed we were, at the end of the day, we have our friends to count on and share our lives with.” Of course Thursday is just the end of one chapter for St. Mary’s Class of 2020 as they take their success from their days as a Spartan on into the rest of their lives. “To my classmates I want you all to know that this is just the beginning. We all have a bigger task at hand,” Leo said. “St. Mary’s has given us the foundation for success that we need and now we must apply this knowledge in all that we will do. We are the leaders of the future. If we want to see a change in our society we have to start with ourselves. We must practice what we preach. As Gandhi said, ‘the future depends on what we do today.’”
Valedictorian Erin Powers wasn’t able to attend the commencement, but Salutatorian Isabella Leo was on hand to give her address. “Although the end of high school isn’t how we imagined it would be, we still have all the stories to reflect on of all those that were there for us,” Leo said. “In the last few months of school leading up to now we have faced constant uncertainty.

ALUMNI PROFILE
Nicole Chandler ’91 Dr. Nicole Chandler ’91 had no inkling that she would end up as a pediatric surgeon until she did her surgical rotation in pediatrics. “I loved that rotation,” said Chandler. “The kids got better and bounced back so fast and the parents were so grateful.” Chandler, who graduated from UMass Medical School, completed five years of general surgery training (plus two years of research) and a two-year pediatric surgery fellowship in 2008, working at Johns Hopkins Hospital under Dr. Paul Colombani ’68. She accepted a position at All Children’s Hospital in St. Petersburg, Fla. and has never left. Now the interim director of pediatric surgery at the hospital — known as Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital since 2011 — Chandler is at the top of her field, having developed a minimally invasive surgical technique that leads to much quicker recoveries for young patients. “Our role in surgery is to try to get kids recovering as quickly as possible so they can get back to their normal lives,” Chandler said. “That benefits the parents, too.” Chandler said a comprehensive effort goes into getting patients back on their feet sooner, including pre-surgery medication, less time under anesthesia, smaller incisions and no prescription opioids post-surgery. To illustrate how effective the technique is, an appendectomy has become out-patient surgery. “It means that kids get to the operating room faster and spend less time being shuffled around the hospital,” said Chandler, who has also pioneered a surgery for chest-wall deformity. Using cryoablation, doctors freeze the nerves between the ribs to make the chest numb. They then place a bar beneath the sternum and bend the bar, lifting the bone and creating more room around the lungs and heart.

ANNUAL EDITION 2020
“It’s like getting braces, but we correct everything at one time,” said Chandler, whose research on combating infections in minimally invasive surgery has been published in the Journal of Pediatric Surgery, and she has presented at conferences throughout the U.S. and internationally. She was named Physician of the Year at her hospital in 2017. Coming to St. Mary’s from Sacred Heart Elementary School, Chandler said she enjoyed the family-type atmosphere. She played soccer, ran track, was a cheerleader and earned membership to the National Honor Society. She thought she might want to study medicine someday. “Using science to take care of people sounded interesting,” she said. Her history teacher and track coach, Jacqueline (McNiff) Regan pointed her in the direction of her alma mater, Holy Cross, where Chandler studied chemistry and pre-med. While at HC, she thought she might want to become an orthopedic surgeon — until she shadowed a doctor who had operated on limbs for 18 hours on a Sunday. “I decided to go to med school and keep my options open,” she said. While at UMass, she did clinicals in internal medicine, pediatrics and OB/GYN, but after spending time with a surgeon and scrubbing in for a gall bladder operation, “I was totally hooked,” she said. She eventually gravitated toward pediatrics and clearly found her passion. “It’s very satisfying,” said Chandler, who lives with her husband, Nicolai Vuxinic, and their 7-year-old daughter, Abigail. Even as Floridians, they ski every winter, though she admits it’s nice coming home to the beach. By Paul Halloran
YOUNG ALUMNI PROFILE
Pamela Blaise Asiimwe ’11 When Pamela Blaise Asiimwe ’11 reflects on her career as a pediatric nurse, she can trace the earliest seed of interest to a biology class at St. Mary’s. “I liked the class so much,” she said. “Ms. [Lorraine] D’Amato made it interesting. I had always liked science, but she made it fun. I chose biology as a major in college, with a concentration in health sciences, and later picked nursing.” Asiimwe, who graduated in the top 10 of her class at St. Mary’s, earned her bachelor’s in biology at Emmanuel College and her nursing degree through an accelerated program at Northeastern University. She is earning her master’s in pediatric nursing at Northeastern through its Acute Care and Primary Care Pediatric Nurse Practitioner dual program, and is on track to graduate in 2022. The program focuses on well child care and prevention and the management of common acute and chronic illnesses, as well as care for patients with acute, complex, critical and chronic illness. She is going to school part-time while working full-time as a nurse at Boston Children’s Hospital. She started out in the cardiology unit and is now part of the float pool.
That she says, has been tough as she has had to limit interactions with family members, particularly her grandmother and her mother, a physical therapy assistant at a nursing home. Asiimwe grew up in Lynn and attended St. Pius V School before St. Mary’s. In high school, she played volleyball, was part of the school choir, earned roles in the spring musicals and was inducted into the National Honor Society. Her brothers, Christian and Frederic, are also St. Mary’s graduates. Christian, ’13, went on to Wentworth Institute of Technology and is a civil engineer. Frederic, ’17, is a senior at UMass Lowell. “We’ve been parishioners of St. Mary’s, so it was always in mind that I would go there for high school,” she said. “St. Mary’s had a family feel. You knew everybody. Teachers knew you, whether they had you or not. There was always someone there to help or listen.” In addition to working at Children’s, where she has been for almost four years, Asiimwe works at Lowell General Hospital on the pediatric floor, per diem. She and her husband, Job, live in Chelmsford. By Meaghan Casey
“I always wanted to do something with kids,” she said. “Children’s has been great. It’s been challenging, but rewarding. As I started to float, I’ve seen a lot more, particularly this year as the hospital has brought us onto the COVID side.”

THANK YOU
ESSENTIAL WORKERS Sitting in yet another Zoom class, I stared at my iPad, intently listening to a history presentation and watching images of courageous figures flash onto the screen such as John Lewis or Gloria Steinem. These lionhearted individuals were heroes of their era, selflessly fighting against the disheartening events and trials that stood in their path. As I took notes on their accomplishments within their own historic periods, I realized that I too was living through history, experiencing the age of the COVID-19 pandemic. This unprecedented event has robbed our world of any existing normalcy, placing us in a reality of sickness and uncertainty. I began to wonder who the according courageous figures of the COVID-era were, and immediately, I was able to identify our heroes of 2020. They were the brave individuals that unquestionably face the pandemic each day without complaints and who will go down in history for their uncharted courage: our essential workers. Although many of us students may have felt helpless as teenagers during the chaos of the pandemic, our essential workers provided a feeling of safety and comfort as they willingly faced the coronavirus daily to provide necessary services for Americans around the country. Simply put, they were the Batmen and Superwomen of the pandemic. Ornamented by their uniforms consisting of masks, gloves, and even protective scrubs in the cases of front-line healthcare workers, these individuals displayed their true selflessness, courage, and unbridled sense of perseverance by consistently putting themselves in danger to bring the necessities to Americans’ lives. Whether they were nurses working on the frontlines or grocery story employees stocking shelves, each worker assured us that there were people fighting for good in a time when positivity seemed out of reach. Our essential workers had a hand in making the pandemic a reality for many of us, leading us to realize that these events were occurring in our own backyards.

ANNUAL EDITION 2020
Although they appeared to be angels or superheroes, these lionhearted individuals were one of us. They were mothers, fathers, siblings, friends, and neighbors. Eventually, we all knew someone who was risking their life to work through the pandemic, continuing to leave the comfort and safety of their home each day to help their community. I myself had two family members who identified as essential workers, and I watched them return home each night, in awe and appreciation of their sacrifices. They were aware of the reality of our country and the potential dangers their work could bring, ensuring to sanitize their belongings after coming home and taking precautions while in public. Nevertheless, when faced with a frightening and chaotic scene, our essential workers ran into the storm, mask in hand, fueled with determination to serve the American people in a time of need. Viewing the heart-wrenching images and videos during the surge of the pandemic, it was easy to lose hope and become discouraged. Our phones soon lit up with scenes from around the country; however, this time they were different from the grave headlines we had grown accustomed to seeing broadcasted throughout our media. These were instead scenes of positivity, scenes that stood for the spirit of the American people more than any video of a crowded hospital. They were scenes that repaid an essential worker more than any stimulus check ever could. We all watched as major cities broke out in applause and appreciation for the essential workers who risked their lives daily. The deafening cheers spoke the words that every American was thinking, showing the gratitude and appreciation shared nationally and uniting the country in an age that kept us six feet apart. As I watched these scenes from my phone between Zoom classes, I was confident that I had identified our COVID-19 heroes. By St. Mary’s Senior Faith Wardwell ’21

THE VOICES OF ST. MARY’S The tragic deaths of George Floyd, Ahmaud Aubrey, Breonna Taylor as well as many other citizens of our country, have served as a long overdue awakening on racism and a call for change in all forms. Each of us owns that obligation and commitment. At St. Mary’s our foundation is built on dialogue within our community. Now, more than ever, achieving a higher degree of awareness is essential to forging real and systemic change.
of systemic racism, some, perhaps, unknowingly and unintentionally, must commit with our total beings to destroy racism. That will only be done when we hear, understand and learn.
The Voices of St. Mary’s project brought together members of our community to lead this conversation. The voices share ideas of faith, justice, education, and healing through the lens of different perspectives to raise our collective consciousness.
Ebony White P’26 is a current parent who participated in the project. “We learn from each other, and I felt it was important for our voices to be heard,” said White. “I wanted to share some positive messaging, but also be transparent about what it’s like being a Black woman raising Black children. Hopefully we can do more work around diversity, equity and inclusion. We want to create a space where kids feel safe having these conversations.”
We hope these conversations will bring us to healing and change. Our Catholic traditions teach us that repentance means going in the opposite direction.

The Future is Here Years of planning, fundraising and construction came to fruition on October 16 when St. Mary’s cut the ribbon on the new $20 million STEM building, a facility for science, technology, engineering and math that will “transform the lives of St. Mary’s students going forward,” according to Board of Trustees Chair William Mosakowski. Head of School Dr. John F. Dolan, trustees, students, staff, Archdiocese of Boston Superintendent of Schools Thomas W. Carroll, Mayor Thomas M. McGee and State Rep. Dan Cahill were among those in attendance. “This is going to change the future of St. Mary’s,” Dolan said. “This is a fully functional, state-of-the-art science center that will operate year-round.” “This gives us a campus feel, in the middle of downtown Lynn,” said Associate Head of School David Angeramo, who is excited about the addition of two floors of classroom and lab space in the three-story, 30,000-square-foot building that includes a gateway entrance to campus.

The STEM building was in the works for several years. Funding was derived from the Building Futures campaign, chaired by Glenn Morris ’65, which raised more than $20 million. The general contractor was DeIulis Brothers Construction and the job superintendent was Chris DeIulis, St. Mary’s Class of 1995. Ed Calnan ’57 served as clerk of the works, providing invaluable expertise and assistance on the project from start to finish. “Today, we revitalize our school and in some ways our city, and certainly our students’ education,” Mosakowski said. “This is a game-changer for St. Mary’s,” said Dolan, who is equally excited about the area behind the building, the Mosakowski Gardens, which includes green space named for Board of Trustees Vice Chair Elizabeth Molloy Twomey ’52, an outdoor amphitheater, a grotto dedicated to the Blessed Mother, and the Cardinal Seán O’Malley Sanctuary.

Students began learning in the new STEM and Gateway building on October 19 and reinvigorated the campus with a contagious energy. “We believe this project makes us unique among schools on the North Shore,” Dolan said. “This is one of those moments that people will look back on as pivotal in the history of the school, and we are very excited about that.” By Paul Halloran

GREETINGS FROM THE BOARD CHAIR
Dear St. Mary’s Community, I am pleased each year to have the opportunity to address the St. Mary’s community in the annual magazine letter. This year is even more important as the world, our country, our city and our school have all faced an unforeseen challenge unlike any other. Yet, here at St. Mary’s, we have risen up and met the challenge and have achieved success in many ways. I am proud of everyone who has done their part to help us get to this point. St. Mary’s Care for All plan allowed our campus to reopen in Fall 2020. On behalf of the Board of Trustees, we extend our gratitude to the administration and faculty for their courage and dedication to provide a genuine, in-person, classroom education this school year. We want to thank our families and students for their discipline to remain safe and healthy for yourself and others. It is because of the hard work that is put into each day that we are able to remain open for in-person learning. A highlight of this year was the opening of St. Mary’s new STEM and Gateway Building. It was a momentous occasion and it has been an incredible journey to get to this pivotal event. Every brick, and every steel beam of the new STEM and Gateway Building has a story. We are fortunate to be witness to this moment in St. Mary’s history. Thank you to all of the generous benefactors who gave to support the Building Futures Campaign. The Future we envisioned many years ago is now here! We are eternally grateful for your dedication to St. Mary’s. It is only through the gifts of collaboration, of brotherhood, of generosity and of hope that we are able to be where we are today. I ask you to continue to pray for those who will come through these doors in the years and decades ahead, that they take full advantage of what is going to be offered to them and that they serve one another and represent St. Mary's proudly in the years ahead. Sincerely,
William S. Mosakowski St. Mary’s Board Chair

ST. MARY’S FUTURE IS HERE THANKS TO YOU Dear St. Mary’s Community, We are pleased to share with you St. Mary’s 2019–20 Annual Report of Gifts. The support we receive from our dedicated alumni, family and friends enables us to continue our mission of educating students on St. Mary’s urban campus in Lynn. A St. Mary’s education sets students on a path for success that lasts long beyond their years here on Tremont Street. It enriches their lives with the integrity, knowledge and faith that is necessary to move forward with strength and confidence in all they pursue. Donations given to St. Mary’s Annual Fund benefit our students in many ways. Gifts support brick and mortar improvements to our physical plant, including building structure, classroom space and technology. This can be seen first hand this year with one step into our brand new STEM and Gateway Building, a direct result of donor support. The Annual Fund also helps our overall academic offering with professional development enhancements and faculty support. St. Mary’s Annual Fund also helps make a St. Mary’s education accessible and affordable for all those who want to pursue a Catholic, college-preparatory education here. This year, St. Mary’s supporters donated $3.4 million dollars to St. Mary’s Annual Fund. This represents a 54% increase to Annual Giving. All of the members of the Leadership Team, administration, faculty, staff and students of St. Mary’s extend our deepest gratitude for your generous support of our school. We are forever grateful and count you among our blessings. Thank you for all you have done and continue to do for St. Mary’s. Sincerely,
Jamie Gigliotti Executive Director of External Affairs
