SPOTLIGHT ON STEM in Action The theme of this year's issue of St. Mary’s Magazine is STEM in Action! Last year, in the midst of a global pandemic, with many schools remote and people living in uncertain times, St. Mary’s beat the odds and continued forward by opening our doors to inperson learning for all students every day. Then, in October of 2020, St. Mary’s new STEM and Gateway building officially opened as part of our school campus. Students and teachers hit the ground running and took full advantage of every opportunity the new STEM Building had to offer. Now, just over a year later, we are turning our focus to what is happening inside that building – which is STEM — Science, Technology, Engineering and Math — in Action! From the labs, outfitted with state-of-the-art technology that allows our students to learn and experiment in new and exciting ways, to the bright, spacious classrooms that provide our faculty a space to lecture and teach based on a strong curriculum, St. Mary’s STEM Building has changed the way our students learn everyday. Read more in the article STEM in Action in this edition. This issue also features articles on The Mosakowski Gardens, our new outdoor space which has greatly enhanced our campus, ASCEND 2026, our strategic plan which will launch St. Mary’s to greater heights in years to come, and our 2020–21 Annual Report of Gifts, Class Notes and more.

Greetings FROM HEAD OF SCHOOL DR. JOHN F. DOLAN

Dear Alumni, Parents, Students, and Friends, We are so blessed to be at St. Mary’s. This year, we have welcomed another extraordinary group of young people into our community. We are providing an exceptional STEM experience for our students and solidifying our Catholic educational experience from pre-k through grade 12. This past year, I have had the privilege to speak with so many of our families about what St. Mary’s means to them. For many of our new students who joined us in September, this was the first time they have been on a school campus since March of 2020. These students have risen to the occasion; they are eager to learn, to be part of the incredible community, and are excelling academically. In January of 2020, under the leadership of our Board of Trustees, we entered into a strategic planning process. Led by co-chairs, Mark Doyle and Ellen Fritz, we established a comprehensive strategic plan for St. Mary’s, ASCEND 2026. What you will find remarkable about this plan is the emphasis that is placed on the whole student. The success of St. Mary’s is, and will continue to be, directly correlated with the success of each student and family that we serve. We know now, more than ever, the importance of meeting each of our students where they are and providing them with the foundation and groundwork to reach their full potential. We are eager to begin this next phase of ASCEND 2026, developing the key strategies to fulfill this promise to our community. Our aim is to ensure that not only is each student academically successful, but prepared for what life will look like after St. Mary’s. This means strengthening the partnerships that we have with our neighbors and providing mentorships and real-world experiences for our students. They will leave St. Mary’s with the tools that they need to have an impact on wherever their next journey may be. It is thrilling to be part of St. Mary’s at this pivotal time in our history, and I am even more hopeful for the future of our School. Forward, Always Forward

Dr. John F. Dolan

Head of School PS: As I always ask, please do three things for us at St. Mary’s: Pray for us, recommend a student, and consider a gift. Please support St. Mary's by doing all three.

THIRD CLASS OF

GARRITY SCHOLARS ENROLLED The Garrity Scholars is a competitive merit award program that recognizes the best and brightest students interested in a transformative, Catholic and STEM focused education offered at St. Mary’s Lynn. The Garrity Scholars Program includes a four-year, full tuition scholarship that is given to approximately ten students entering Grade 9. St. Mary’s launched The Garrity Scholars program in 2018, thanks to the generosity of a special donor who wanted to honor Monsignor Paul Garrity, who was the pastor for 18 years at St. Mary’s Parish in Lynn with responsibility for St. Mary’s Marian Division and High School. With three classes of Garrity Scholars now enrolled, and applications for the fourth class underway, this program has given wonderful opportunities to students across the North Shore and beyond. The Garrity Scholars Program acknowledges excellence through focus on personal leadership qualities, and a commitment to the St. Mary’s pillars of success, all hallmarks of the life of Monsignor Garrity. The Garrity Scholarship application process also populates the Scholars Program which provides additional tutelage for accepted students as well as a significant four-year merit scholarship.

The 2021 Garrity Scholars, with their hometown and previous school are (listed left to right in photo above): • Solara Patel-Elliott, Lynn, Marblehead Charter School • Arthur Oelke, Lynn, St. Pius V School • Chance Bonfanti, Peabody, St. John the Baptist School • Ava Gigliotti, Saugus, Our Lady of the Assumption School • Riley Maguire, Nahant, St. Mary’s Marian Division • Nakabiri Kayondo, Lynn, St. Mary’s Marian Division • Georgia Allaire, Lynn, Pickering Middle School • Jared Thomas, Lynn, St. Mary’s Marian Division

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: GEORGIA ALLAIRE “Many people have the mindset that being a leader means having power and authority over others. However, in my eyes leadership is about setting an example. Leadership is also about being a role model, mentoring, and encouraging others’ ideas. It’s about working together as a team and supporting one another.” CHANCE BONFANTI “I am not the kind of leader who gets everyone jumping around before a soccer game. No, that is simply not who I am. I am a leader who includes others to figure out a solution to an issue, rather than go rogue on my own. I truly believe that including others in solving problems allows for a person to form new relationships and strengthen the community.” AVA GIGLIOTTI “There are a lot of qualities you need to be a leader. You need to have integrity, respect and the best outlook and intentions for all of your peers. A leader to me is someone who inspires others to be a good person and have strong moral principles. If I see someone perform a kind act for someone else, I would consider that person to be a leader as they are demonstrating compassion and it would inspire a whole new chain reaction of love, positivity and happiness. To be a good leader you really have to care about people.” NAKABIRI KAYONDO “To be a Christ-like leader, I would help those who are in need of anything, big or small. I would also make an effort to talk to those who are shy or do not have many friends. I would try my best to stand up for those who are mistreated. While talking with the person who was responsible for the mistreatment, I would confront them in a kind way, not letting anger control me. I would also pray for those who are rude to me and to others.” RILEY MAGUIRE “My mother taught me the importance of caring. She always cared for others and was continuously there to help someone when they needed it most. My dad’s work ethic has inspired me to constantly work hard and push myself past my limits. He

told me to always work hard until the end of a game, regardless of the score. My brothers taught me to be vocal and brave. I learned that you should be the first person to take an opportunity when no one steps up. You must be vocal so others can hear you and take direction. Showing bravery sets an example for others around you by demonstrating to them that they are capable of any task. Most importantly, my aunt taught me that actions speak louder than words.” ARTHUR OELKE "I usually tend to lead rather than follow when it comes to groups. At St. Mary’s, I would be the one in my class to help as many people as possible figure out how to do what they need to do without exactly giving them the solution. I would be diplomatic when dealing with everyone, and I would give them information in the most concise way possible." SOLARA PATEL-ELLIOTT “The way I show my leadership is a bit more in a subtle way. For instance, an example of how I show my leadership in the classroom teaching kids. I don’t just give them the answers. There would be no benefit for them from that, I instead usually teach them step-by-step how to figure everything out. By doing this, I create a stronger relationship with them and I also learn more while teaching.” JARED THOMAS “During my time at St. Mary’s I will demonstrate leadership to the St. Mary’s community by continuing to work hard to maintain high academic standards, demonstrate personal values in a commitment to having good attendance, form valuable friendships, be respectful to my teachers and peers, and plan to grow personally as a young man of faith to further develop my leadership qualities. Specifically, I’m a leader who works hard, is self-motivated and resilient, and compassionate to others.”

STUDENT PROFILE

Francesco Carriglio ’22 Francesco Carriglio has always known what he wanted to do in the future. Engineering has resonated with Carriglio since he was in 8th grade. St. Mary’s may have contributed to his goals, but it all really started at home. While speaking on the origins of his passion for engineering, Carriglio said, “My dad went to Wentworth Institute of Technology to study civil engineering. Hearing him talk about it really inspired me to look into the field.” Now in his senior year, Francesco is able to truly set his plans in motion. He gained valuable experience through a class project during his Junior year in his Civil Engineering and Architecture class. His STEM project on creating a 3D house was no easy task. Over the course of 4 weeks, Carriglio was put to the test. With help from the new program being taught, ArchiCAD, he was able to create, not only a 3D module of a house, but a fully furnished one. Francesco said, “I definitely thought it was difficult at some points, finding measurements, knowing how to use the program properly as well as making sure everything looked how it should. It was a fun experience though.” That course’s instructor and St. Mary’s lead engineering teacher, Mrs. Dumitrescu compliments Fran on his efforts, “I was very impressed by Fran’s determination to show up every day during a time when some students were remote. He was tenacious, curious and ready to learn as much as possible. I think

it takes a lot of determination to keep up with the work and learn during those circumstances as Fran did.” Carriglio has taken many other science and engineering courses. He stated, “Being in the new building not only elevated my interest in STEM, but made me appreciate the classes and materials available to me.” Engineering is Carriglio’s priority at St. Mary’s, but he also finds the time to work at his father’s company, Carriglio Construction, as a laborer on weekends and during the summer. Carrigilo’s goal is to start something on his own. He said, “I don’t specifically know what exactly I would like to start but I know I want it to be my own. While at St. Mary’s, I was really able to grow and learn enough to become confident in my abilities. I would like to take that further after I graduate.” Carriglio has his sights set on Wentworth Institute of Technology for college after St. Mary’s, where he applied for early action and hopes to major in Civil Engineering. by Ava Benzán


STUDENT PROFILE

Aalina Lara Tejada ’22 and Aaliah Lara Tejada ’22 Seniors and twin sisters, Aalina and Aaliah Lara joined St. Mary’s back in 2018 with goals of being part of a community. Not only did they find it, but they also found their callings in giving back to it. With dreams of running her own business one day, Aaliah is heavily inspired by the entrepreneurship within her own family and the St. Mary’s community. In Baní, a city in the Dominican Republic, Aaliah’s grandfather owns a bakery called Guazupan. “He provides school lunches for the poorer kids in the community as well as sponsors the basketball teams. He’s put the money he makes with his business towards helping the city and has made such an influence creating a tighter community and I’d like to have the same kind of impact on people and help as he has.” Influenced by her grandfather, Aaliah searched for her own community and found it at St. Mary’s. She became a member of Rachel’s Challenge during her Freshman year. The group meets every Tuesday before school and it's mission is to create a chain reaction of kindness and compassion in St. Mary’s and the greater community. Looking back on a time when she and her friends volunteered to serve Thanksgiving dinner to those in need, Aaliah said, ”Rachel’s Challenge has taught me the importance of community service and influenced the love I have for helping and serving others all the while allowing me to see into the business industry.” As she continued her journey with Rachel’s challenge,

Aaliah’s experience in a business class last year confirmed that business would be her ideal course of study. She hopes to use her love for community and future business degree to open a restaurant of her own someday. Aalina's experience at St. Mary’s, while similar to her sister Aaliah’s, has had a very different outcome. Aalina also found her passion within St. Mary’s through her combination of offered classes and extracurricular activities. Throughout high school, Aalina has immersed herself in the political world through her class selection. She says,“I’ve been able to take honors level classes which better prepared me for the higher level classes that I take now. Although there is a lot of emphasis on the STEM opportunities at St. Mary’s, I am also able to cultivate and expand my knowledge on topics related to my prospective career path in the new learning environment.” Aalina enrolled in numerous AP classes such as AP Literature, AP U.S. History, and AP Government, but she found her true love for court in the extracurricular club, Mock Trial, that caught Aalina’s eye right away.

“Law is something that has always interested me, especially since I have been here at St Mary’s. The Mock Trial team exposed me to court etiquette, and broadened my knowledge on the logistics and procedures of the court.” Aalina intends to declare Pre-Law in college, major in political science, and pursue a career in family law. Aalina will be applying to various schools in Massachusetts such as Boston College, Clark University and the College of the Holy Cross. by Ava Benzán

PLAYING THROUGH 2020 IMAGES BY PRESTIGE PORTRAITS

The COVID-19 pandemic forced some schools to remain remote for the entire 2020–21 school year which prevented them from participating in high school athletics. For St. Mary’s student-athletes, it was quite the opposite. The Spartans competed in over 500 athletic contests across a variety of sports, by far the largest amount of any high school in Massachusetts. “It’s a credit to the students first and foremost to do what was needed to remain in school and then be able to participate in athletics,” said Director of Athletics and Campus Operations Jeff Newhall ’94. “They followed all protocols and led the way for the entire student body to make good decisions around the clock to keep everyone safe.” In a year in which the MIAA didn’t offer any post-season tournaments for the fall and winter seasons, the Spartans and other members of the Catholic Central League still played regular season contests and created the CCL Cup, a post-season tournament for league members only. It turned out to be the pinnacle of high school tournaments during the pandemic and St. Mary’s was crowned champions in golf, girls basketball, girls hockey, boys hockey and softball. The spring season saw a return to regular season play with MIAA sponsored tournaments that resulted in the baseball team’s second consecutive Division II State Championship. “In a year where there weren’t many highlights, I would say being able to watch our students participate in athletics was one of the most fulfilling things that occurred,” said Newhall.

FIELD HOCKEY 12 ST. MARY'S MAGAZINE

BOYS SOCCER

The fall sports season provided the biggest obstacles for the athletic program as the City of Lynn closed all parks and fields until the end of the calendar year. The soccer, golf, field hockey, and cross-country teams practiced each day outside of the city and played all their games on the road. Football and cheering were moved to a newly created wedge season, in between the winter and spring, so they didn’t participate in the fall. Volleyball practiced in the gym but didn’t play any games at home. The winter saw some sense of normalcy return as home games were once again allowed in Lynn in the sports of basketball, hockey, and swimming. St. Mary’s used this time to launch the Spartan Sports Network, which provided live streamed events from all games that were held in the Tony Conigliaro ’62 Gymnasium and allowed students to take on the role of sportscaster. Indoor track was moved outdoors into the wedge season as well. Until the spring, most events had limited to no spectators, most games were live streamed, and all contests were played with masks on. “Watching high school football games being played in April pretty much sums up how bizarre the whole year was,” said Newhall. “Although it wasn’t ideal all the time, I think it was absolutely critical to get the kids out playing sports again and to give our seniors one last opportunity to be in a St. Mary’s uniform.” The spring saw a complete return to outdoor sports with no masks for participants and no facility restrictions for fans in track, baseball, lacrosse, softball, rugby, crew, and tennis.

BASEBALL CHAMPIONSHIP If ever the odds were stacked against the St. Mary’s state title streak (now 14 consecutive years with at least one title) it would have been the 20–21 school year. With no tournaments held until the spring, it was the baseball team who came through as they won their second consecutive Division II State Championship over Hopkinton. The Spartans applied the usual St. Mary’s formula of great pitching, superior defense and timely hitting, to propel them to the top once again in 2021. “It was a tremendous team effort and I really can’t think of a better way to finish out an extremely challenging 20–21 school year than the way the baseball team did,” said Director of Athletics and Campus Operations Jeff Newhall ’94. For Coach Derek Dana ’88 and his 2021 Spartans, it was a second state title in three years after last year’s campaign was canceled due to the pandemic. St. Mary’s had gone back-to-back in 1987 and 1988 when Derek Dana and St. Mary’s pitching coach Tim Fila were as good a battery as you’ll ever see in high school baseball. Now, Derek brings his winning legacy to the current team. In a game played at Hopkinton, the Hillers took the early lead. Following a great defensive play by shortstop Terence Moynihan, it was All-Scholastic pitcher Aiven Cabral who took command and shut down Hopkinton the rest of the way for an exciting 5–2 victory and a state championship. Cabral (9 strikeouts, a sizzling line-drive single and two runs scored himself) and St. Mary’s did all the things you’d expect from a Derek Dana coached team, but in the spotlight of a state final, it gets magnified. After losing his sophomore season to the pandemic in 2020, Cabral returned with a vengeance in 2021, going 8–0 with 106 strikeouts and only five runs allowed in 64 2/3 innings, hitting 91 mph with his fastball. 14 ST. MARY'S MAGAZINE

ANNUAL EDITION 2021

Case in point of being on top their game was Dante D’Ambrosio scoring from second base on a passed ball after Tad Giardina had scored the go-ahead run on the same play. D’Ambrosio unhesitatingly kept running at third base and took full advantage of the Hopkinton misplay. “No hesitation, great base running,” said Dana. Moynihan’s diving catch of a line drive with Hopkinton threatening to add to its first-inning lead was a momentum turner. First baseman Ryan Fraher started a sparkling double play when he fielded a ground ball, quickly stepped on first base and threw a strike to Moynihan for an unusual 3–6 double play. Fraher later had the memory of catching a popup for the final out of the game. Colby Magliozzi caught a brilliant game behind the plate and drew a first-inning walk with the bases loaded for the game’s first run. Zach Fisher delivered a gametying sacrifice fly that scored Cabral, who had alertly tagged up from second to third on the previous play. Moynihan, who became St. Mary’s “Mr. Clutch” during the season, also had an RBI single. The Spartans also got great defense from centerfielder Andrew Luciano and timely hitting from Lucas Fritz during the postseason run. The St. Mary’s baseball program won its third state championship since 2015. St. Mary’s is the school who made history on a memorable first day of July when reliever John Nowicki got a popup to end the game. “I think we played our best baseball of the season down the stretch,” said Dana. “After starting 6–5, we went 15–1.” St. Mary’s defeated defending Super 8 champion North Andover on the road in the North semifinals, perennial Division 2 powerhouse Masco, 2–0 (in an excellently pitched game by freshman Eric Bridges) in the North final, and South champion Hopkinton in a rematch of the 2019 state final.


WELCOME NEW SPARTANS! St. Mary’s enrollment continues to grow with 650 students on campus for the 2021–22 school year. The entering Freshmen class has 124 students who are scholars, competitive athletes, talented and service-oriented individuals to name just a few of their qualities.

GOV. CHARLIE BAKER AND CARDINAL SEÁN

VISIT ST. MARY’S St. Mary’s was in the spotlight Friday, March 12, 2021 when Cardinal Seán O’Malley, Governor Charlie Baker, Lieutenant Governor Karyn Polito and Secretary of Education James Peyser visited to tour the new STEM building and hear from students and teachers the St. Mary’s success story of inperson learning. “I thought the students were incredibly articulate,” Governor Baker said. “What stood out to me was their willingness to do whatever it takes because they want to be in school.” Head of School Dr. John F. Dolan, Associate Head of School David Angeramo and Board of Trustees Chair William Mosakowski welcomed the visitors, who also included Mayor Thomas McGee and Thomas Carroll, Superintendent of schools for the Archdiocese of Boston. Students from Sacred Heart School, St. Pius V, Our Lady of the Assumption in Lynnfield, Saints Academy in Beverly and St. Mary’s Marian Division greeted Cardinal O’Malley and Governor Baker and presented them with posters thanking them for their leadership throughout the pandemic. Principals Kristina Relihan of Sacred Heart, Paul Maestranzi of St. Pius V, Cynthia Donovan ’79 of OLA, Marian Division Dean Jackie Foley ’90 P’19’19, and Saints Academy parent and St. Mary’s trustee Vivian Iannotti P’25’28’28 accompanied the students. St. Mary’s special guests visited a freshmen and AP biology class, followed by a roundtable discussion in the James G. Baldini ’66 Laboratories. Participating in the roundtable were: Governor Charlie Baker, Lieutenant Governor Polito, Cardinal Seán O’Malley, Head of School Dr. John Dolan, Secretary of Education James Peyser, Board Chair William Mosakowski and

St. Mary’s students Ava Benzán ’21, Madison Spencer ’22, Orvis Njika ’23, Joseph Goyette ’24 and Ruthshell Cazeau ’27. “St. Mary’s has provided a perfectly safe learning environment,” student Joseph Goyette ’24 said during the roundtable discussion with the Governor Baker and Cardinal O’Malley. “The past 365 days have been a learning experience. Getting to come to school every day has been such a blessing in every way possible,” said Madison Spencer ’22. Dr. Dolan noted that the school announced on June 4, 2020 — less than three months into the pandemic in Massachusetts — that St. Mary’s would open for inperson learning for the 2020–21 school year. St. Mary’s did not close one day due to COVID throughout the entire 2020–21 school year. He said remote learning

was offered to all families and 96 percent of the 601 students opted for an in-person experience. Governor Baker commented on the "joy and happiness the kids have to be working together and learning together, even with all the constraints of COVID. Congratulations to all of you at St. Mary’s." Following the roundtable discussion, Governor Baker hosted a closed press conference with select local reporters in attendance. During the conference, Cardinal Seán spent extra time at St. Mary’s and broadcast live into each classroom to offer his prayers and reflection to our students. The visit was a great highlight to what was the 200th day of in-person learning during the 2020–21 school year. Excerpts courtesy of the Daily Item

FACULTY PROFILE

Gabriela Dumitrescu Gabriela Dumitrescu, affectionately known as Mrs. D. to her students, focuses on the E in STEM at St. Mary’s. Mrs. D. hopes that engineering classes will be able to “change their brain to create a new mind set.” Freshmen take Introduction to Engineering and Design I where they use a “systematic problem solving and strategy” — the Design Process and ONSHAPE a CAD (Computer Aided Design) software. Students in grades 10–12 take Introduction to Engineering and Design II where students use “reverse engineering” which is to “choose an object, analyze it, take it apart, look inside it to see how it works and then put it back together.” Some of the projects include using 3D printers to create coffee cups, Christmas ornaments, a remote holder, knobs on dressers, a sewing machine part and much more. Sophomores, juniors and seniors can take Architecture and Civil Engineering, a yearlong course, which focuses on future careers, the history of architecture and civil engineering and how to use ArchiCAD software. Last year, students created a 3D model using ArchiCAD and a 3D print of a two-bedroom house with furniture. This kind of layout uses “standard dimensions and functionality” which is commonly used by Habitat for Humanity to help them build homes. High School students can also take an APP Creator elective where they learn to program and design basic apps such as ones to create healthier diet and mental health apps to help others. Last year, students participated in the 2021 Cooper Hewitt National High 18 ST. MARY'S MAGAZINE

School Design Challenge that focused on designing items for a “healthier world for all” by creating handless door opening devices and more efficient masks. This year, Mrs. D. is getting her students ready for their future by having them each create a portfolio that will help them “understand what to include, how to present their projects, what to choose and how it best reflects their ideas and work.” It is a major “challenge for them to be pushed to be more creative by thinking and analyzing data by having them look at the aesthetics and graphic design involved.” It is very important to Mrs. D. that her students learn “how to think, how to approach problem solving strategies, ethics, teamwork, team management and the availability of future careers. A person trained in engineering with an engineer mind set can achieve anything. Engineering training gives you the perspective of the smaller, but also of the bigger picture. Engineers don’t just sit in an office, they are in management, sales and are supervisors; they are Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates and hopefully, many of our students will walk in the future in those big name footsteps.” by Stacy Drector


FACULTY PROFILE

Brandon Mayes At the age of 16, Brandon Mayes received a contract from Disney owned Hollywood Records to be a musician. His first job was playing drums for Hilary and Haylie Duff on their tour. Through the years, he toured with Santana, rappers Soulja Boy, Drake and Kendrick Lamar who he grew up with in the same neighborhood in Inglewood, California. Pete Erskine, a drummer who “dropped knowledge on him” and Latin/Brazilian fusion drummer Alex Acuna, from the fusion band Weather Report, both were instrumental to his career. They were professors in Los Angeles who gave master classes when Mr. Mayes was in school. During his junior and senior years, Mr. Mayes toured with his high school around the country before going to Cal State Fullerton, where he took a year off to tour before attending Berklee College of Music. He returned to Berklee two years later to be a lecturer and adjunct professor, which he still does two days a week.

Christmas Tree Lighting and more. A new Multimedia Lab for sophomores, juniors and seniors is introducing them to podcasting, radio broadcasting, television and film music and commercial music. During second semester, there will be a new Liturgical Choir that will be open to all students. He considers himself a “down to earth guy, not in the clouds” like some other musicians. His advice to his students is to “stay grounded.” It is important to him to teach his students about “today’s music and its positive and negative effects on society.” Mr. Mayes is still touring, and next summer, you can hear him play drums on the Buzz Ligthtyear Movie soundtrack. In addition to his passion of playing drums, he is a proud dad of a sixteen month old daughter who is “amazing and awesome.” . by Stacy Drector

This school year, St. Mary’s is fortunate to have Mr. Mayes teach Chorus and Music Appreciation to High School students and General Music to grades 6–8. In addition, he is leading St. Mary’s Theatre Company and is currently organizing a play and musical whose titles are for now being kept a secret. Students who are interested in theatre meet after school and there are high hopes to have formal drama classes next year. Brandon is also heading up St. Mary’s Chorus who have held Coffee Houses and performed at the pep rally, ST. MARY'S MAGAZINE

ASCEND 2026 Approximately 35 people spent 189 days holding more than 60 meetings to develop a blueprint to guide St. Mary’s for the next 5 years. The result: ASCEND 2026, a strategic plan that sets performance objectives and strategies to achieve them in four categories: Student Success, Student Well-Being, Operational Excellence and Partnerships. “The emerging theme was that student experience was going to drive our future success,” said Mark Doyle ’76, who co-chaired Ascend 2026 with Ellen Fritz ’86 P’21’23. “We wanted all groups to look at it through the lens of student experience.” The ASCEND 2026 committee, with guidance from Public Consulting Group, collected feedback from students, parents, faculty and staff, trustees, the Sacred Heart School community and other stakeholders. The committee split into three groups, all chaired by trustees: Student Experience (Fritz and Elizabeth Molloy Twomey ’52), Physical Plant (Paul Price ’75 and Glenn Morris ’65), and Resources (Jim Lyle). The groups were charged with soliciting input and detailing strengths and weaknesses in order to build the 5-year plan. “The idea was to determine where we want to end up for all students and develop performance objectives along the way to guide our work,” said Fritz, whose son, Lucas, graduated in 2021 and daughter, Allie, is a junior. “We rolled up our sleeves and went to work. We needed to see what those performance objectives looked like.” 20 ST. MARY'S MAGAZINE

ANNUAL EDITION 2021

ASCEND 2026 objectives include: • E ach student will participate in at least one extracurricular activity. • Each student will have a personalized learning plan to meet their needs. • Each elementary (Sacred Heart) and middle school (Marian Division) student will have an older student as a buddy/mentor. • St. Mary’s will invest in adjustment counselors and programming for students’ emotional and mental health. • St. Mary’s will actively recruit an employee base that is reflective of the students it serves. • The partnerships/volunteer opportunities will meet the needs of students, specifically with regard to the creation of real-world experiences. Fritz said it was important to include teachers in the conversations. “They have to take this and make it a living document,” she said of ASCEND 2026. “We have a beautiful, new building. We have to make sure we can deliver instruction that matches.” The ASCEND 2026 committee met for the first time on Jan. 27 and presented their work at a board retreat on August 4 – a period of barely more than six months, an ambitious timeline to say the least. “It seems like record speed, but you don’t realize that when you’re going through it,” said Fritz, who serves as principal of Lynn Woods Elementary School. “There were a lot of great people involved.”


Fritz and Doyle said much of the credit for the efficiency of the process belongs to Lindsay Lockwood, Chief Operating Officer at the school, who kept everyone on task. “Lindsay was our air traffic controller,” said Doyle, who is executive vice president of Global Marketing at Natixis. Lockwood facilitated the conversations among the committee and various stakeholders, along with the compilation of the feedback and data. “I was beyond happy to be a part of a board-led, boarddriven strategic plan,” Lindsay said. “It was beneficial to hear from stakeholders where we are and what we could do to improve. It was really inspiring and exciting to hear all the perspectives. We want to work in tandem to see how we can be better and have a greater impact.”

One of the byproducts of the strategic planning process was the notion that St. Mary’s and Sacred Heart are one school with two campuses. “We want to align curriculum so there is a smooth transition from grade to grade,” Fritz said. With the plan having been formalized, the work of executing it is underway. “The strategic plan is a roadmap. Follow-up is mission critical. This plan will inform the work of all committees moving forward,” Doyle said, adding that trustees Shari McGuirk and Paul Price are chairing monthly meetings to ensure that the implementation stays on track. “A plan is just a plan unless you put it into action. We’ve passed the baton to the next group, but we have a vested interest in making sure the collective work goes on to the next chapter.” Fritz said she hopes St. Mary’s alumni will take this opportunity to become more informed and involved with what is happening on campus. “We urge alumni to come back and take a look,” she said. “I think some will be pleasantly surprised to see what St. Mary’s has grown into.” And to where it plans to ascend. by Paul Halloran

WOMEN’S COUNCIL The mission of St. Mary’s Women’s Council is to increase the involvement and influence of women in all aspects of life at St Mary’s. To accomplish this, the Women’s Council works to increase the participation of women at all levels introducing meaningful programs aimed at generating lasting relationships with St. Mary’s among students and alumnae. This will provide women of the St. Mary’s Community with enhanced opportunities to interact with and act as role models for students, while recognizing the vital contributions of St. Mary’s women, past and present to the School and to their communities. To keep this at the forefront, St. Mary’s hosts events in honor of the Women’s Council which highlights this mission. On September 9, 2021, St. Mary’s hosted a Women’s Council event featuring alumna and former trustee, Joan Luise Hill ’71, for a special Women’s Council Book Club event featuring her latest book, The Miracle Collectors. Guests including alumni, faculty, parents, students and friends, gathered together in the Luise Hill Family Learning Commons of the new STEM Building to listen to Joan share miracle stories from her book. Joan spoke of three ways to be more open to the presence of miracles in our lives: to become more aware, to deepen connection and to find meaning. Joan reminded the Women’s Council guests, “We are connected to something greater than ourselves; we are connected to God.” Joan’s brother Richard, class of ’74 and mother Olympia were also in attendance. After the presentation, guests were able to say hello to Joan and get their copies of The Miracle Collectors signed.

ST. PATRICK’S GATE

A DEDICATION TO ED CALNAN ’57 To celebrate 50 years of service to the city and the parish, Edward T. Calnan ’57 was honored at St. Mary’s on October 24, 2021 with a dedication of the newly-built St. Patrick’s gate. The event was attended by about 70 members of Calnan’s family, state and city officials, St. Mary’s Board of Trustees, and friends. Born in Lynn to Irish immigrant parents, Calnan graduated from St. Mary’s High School in 1957. He was appointed as the first director of the Lynn Department of Community Development in 1974, where he worked on improving the city’s neighborhoods by converting the former shoe factories and other vacant buildings into housing. He later went on to be a director of Single Family Programs at the Massachusetts Housing Finance Agency. In 1991 Calnan was elected to the councilor at large office and served one term. He also chaired the Lynn Charter Commission. Calnan was a founding member of the St. Mary’s Board of Trustees and was inducted into the school’s Hall of Fame. He still remains on the St. Mary’s Advisory Board. He facilitated converting the former grammar school 24 ST. MARY'S MAGAZINE

ANNUAL EDITION 2021

into St. Mary’s Plaza and the convent into St. Theresa House, both for senior housing. He founded the St. Mary’s Senior Life Foundation of Lynn Inc. as well. Rev. Brian Flynn, pastor at St. Mary of the Sacred Heart parish, started the event by reciting part of St. Patrick’s prayer and added that this gate will be used for many years to come by hundreds of students and scholars who will walk between the high school and the church. Flynn said that the gate will soon become a landmark. Mayor Thomas M. McGee shared with the attendees that St. Mary’s meant a lot to him as he went to school there as well, and that Calnan got him involved with the Board of Trustees of the St. Mary’s Plaza. McGee said that Calnan is the one constant piece among all the different projects and improvements at St. Mary’s; he said that the alumnus has done a lot of work for the school, the church, and the parish selflessly and with passion. State Sen. Brendan Crighton called Calnan his friend and his mentor from the start saying, “I think of the Calnan family as a positive force for change in Lynn,” said Crighton. Calnan’s niece Mary Ann Calnan ’77, who also serves on St. Mary’s Board of Trustees was the dedicated speaker from the family.


She said that Calnan was born in the Brickyard neighborhood in Lynn, the seventh out of eight children. His Irish parents didn’t have any material wealth to pass onto their children but they instilled in him a commitment to family, the Catholic faith, community, and his Irish heritage. Calnan enlisted in the Air Force after high school and served in the Vietnam era for four years. He joined the Bricklayers’ Union after his return. After receiving his real estate and insurance licenses, he began his career in property development and management. Mary Ann Calnan said that, in his retirement, Edward volunteers at St. Mary’s and Sacred Heart in a maintenance capacity. “He told me that he felt very lucky. In his so-called retirement he was able to combine his love for construction with his Catholic faith,” Mary Ann Calnan said. She said that Calnan’s children came up with the idea to honor his contributions and devotion to St. Mary’s and his community about a year ago. The gate is formed by a welded-iron arch that says “St. Patrick’s Gate” resting on top of two brick pillars that match the bricks of St. Mary’s campus. Edward Calnan said he laid a few of the bricks himself. The left pillar displays a bronze cast statue of St. Patrick. There is a dedication plaque on the right pillar. Bricks on the ground at the foot of the gate include names of everyone in the family who attended the St. Mary’s High School.

Calnan said that the gate project was a complete surprise to him and he was deeply touched. His son, daughter, and niece — all alumni of St. Mary’s — funded the project. As a first generation Irish American, Calnan said he has strong ties to Ireland and even has dual citizenship, but every once in a while he reflects on what a wonderful country he lives in. Through the hard work of his parents, in just two generations the younger members of his family are able to enjoy education at St. Mary’s, and his family is in the position to make this impressive contribution to the school. “St. Patrick’s Gate is a ceremonial gate that will heighten the sense of importance of rituals for the school and the church. Freshmen will process through the gate to attend mass in the church and seniors will do likewise for the closing mass as they graduate,” said Calnan. The ceremony was adorned by Aniya Myette, 16, an 11th grade St. Mary’s student and a Garrity Scholarship recipient, singing her rendition of “The Holy Spirit.” Monsignor Paul V. Garrity, the retired former pastor of St. Mary’s and of St. Brigid and Sacred Heart in Lexington, delivered the final blessing. by Alena Kuzub courtesy of the Daily Item

LEARNING TODAY’S SKILLS FOR

TOMORROW’S WORLD It’s been a little more than a year since the $20 million STEM and Gateway Building officially opened at St. Mary’s, and the novelty certainly hasn’t worn off.

“It’s opened up so many opportunities,” he said. “It’s been a catalyst for introducing new ways of learning that will be beneficial outside of High School.”

Behind each classroom door are students creating 3D model renderings, programming robots, building their own apps, tending to a hydroponics garden or working with the same tools used by professionals in hospitals and labs. Not all will go on to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering or math, but they will be prepared in the real-world setting.

Along with Head of the Science and Engineering Department Diane Haas, Gribbins created a new elective this year called Innovation Project Design. It challenges students to work independently to explore real-world problems by creating, applying and communicating solutions. One student, for example, is trying to create an app that would teach children with diabetes how to understand their blood sugar numbers in an informative, yet entertaining, way. Another student is exploring what could be added to the current football helmet design to better prevent concussions.

“The building is like a college facility – it’s beautiful,” said Associate Head of School David Angeramo. “But it’s only as good as what’s going on inside of it.” The advanced programming and equipment are certainly up to par with the state-of-the-art facility. Students have access to digital microscopes, 3D printers, laptops, Chromebooks, iPads, wireless temperature probes and more. Utilizing the Discovery Education digital curriculum, they have a wealth of supplementary materials at their fingertips. “We were already a 1:1 iPad school, but we added Chromebooks to hook up to the microscopes for digital display and laptops for 3D software,” said Assistant Principal for Integrated Technology Artie Gribbins. “We’re providing as much as we can for students to see a variety of technology, and to see how those tools are needed for different jobs.” Gribbins, who is in his 24th year at St. Mary’s, says the new building is phenomenal. 30 ST. MARY'S MAGAZINE

ANNUAL EDITION 2021

“Students choose the topic, and we give them some structure and framework to get there,” said Gribbins. “Journaling and self-reflection are a big part of it, and at the end of the semester they’ll present to faculty and board members. It’s a lot of responsibility, especially going out and talking to community members— doctors and parents in some cases—and working those conversations into their solutions. I can’t wait to see what they produce.” Haas is equally excited to see how this and other STEM courses are challenging students to think more critically. “When I took this role, it was really important that I would be in a place with hands-on learning,” said Haas, who is in her third year at St. Mary’s, following a 37-year career in public-school education. “I’m passionate about


science and STEM education and want to provide our students with the skills they need once they leave our doors.” “The beauty of STEM education,” Haas emphasized, “is that it gives students opportunities to see the connection between the content they are studying and the application of that content in relevant ways. And not only does it promote skills such as problemsolving and critical-thinking, it also encourages teamwork, adaptability, communication, perseverance, organization, responsibility, and cooperation — all skills needed to be successful in any field.”

program. The St. Mary’s team, of which Lutchman serves as co-captain, competes in the annual FIRST® Robotics Competition. Teams start with a standard kit of parts and common set of rules and compete in a themed head-to-head challenge. Outside of the FIRST® competition, the St. Mary’s team won an off-season competition, the Beantown Blitz, in the fall of 2019. “You definitely learn about teamwork and cooperation, and the whole program opens new doors to meet new people,” said Lutchman.

Angeramo commends the faculty for building such a robust catalog of electives, such as Statistics and Probability, Forensic Science, Marine Biology, Biomedical Science, App Creators, Environmental Science, Anatomy and Physiology, Engineering Design, and Civil Engineering and Architecture. Students in the Marian Division are offered Introduction to STEM, Design and Modeling, and Automation and Robotics. “All students take math and science, but it’s the engineering and electives that separate us,” said Angeramo. “We want to make sure every student has a foundation and understanding of how things work, and they should feel comfortable moving into any college environment.” Christopher Lutchman, a junior, already feels equipped for the next level and hopes to pursue a career in engineering. “We have a base, and in college, we’ll be prepared for more intricate engineering classes in whatever path we choose,” he said. A Revere resident, Lutchman started in the Marian Division of St. Mary’s five years ago and was thrilled when the STEM and Gateway Building opened last year. He says he was drawn to St. Mary’s for the robotics

“I love that it gives students who are interested in robotics a place where their interests are affirmed and appreciated,” said science teacher Dr. John Oldham, who has been coaching the Robotics team for the past five years. “It also builds confidence and independence, which I’ll see in the classroom.” Oldham is in his sixth year at St. Mary’s. He decided to pursue a career in education after a stint as a teaching assistant at Northeastern University, while he was earning his Ph.D. in chemical engineering. At St. Mary’s, Oldham is teaching Chemistry, Advanced Placement (AP) Chemistry and Biomedical Science. “I found I enjoyed that as much as the research,” Oldham said. “I like that the new classroom and lab space are the same because it leads to more group work,” Oldham said. “The building has been a huge blessing.” A blessing, indeed. by Meaghan Casey

ALUMNI PROFILE

Terry McGinnis ’63 Terry McGinnis gazed at the lettering above the door to the lab in the STEM building at St. Mary’s: GEORGE & KATHERINE KEANEY MCGINNIS ’35 BIOLOGY LAB It was hard for McGinnis, a son of Lynn’s Brickyard and proud graduate of St. Mary’s Boys High, Class of 1963, not to get caught up in the emotion of the moment. “There’s a wonderful feeling on this campus,” McGinnis said. “It’s so special to tie my parents to it. My dad never graduated from high school and he has a science lab named for him. That’s something else.” McGinnis’ parents are memorialized at St. Mary’s through a naming gift he provided the school in conjunction with the opening of the STEM building last year. He was looking to make an impact with funds in a directed trust he had set up to honor his parents, and he could not think of a better way than supporting St. Mary’s, where his mother graduated from the Girls High School in 1935. “What impressed me the most is how faith-driven this organization is,” McGinnis said. “In the current environment, to have that be so proudly and unashamedly demonstrated impresses me. You walk around the school and you can see the excitement in the kids and the teachers.” It’s the same feeling McGinnis remembers from his days on Tremont Street, where he spent 12 years under the tutelage of the Sisters of Notre Dame (grades 1–8) 32 ST.

and the Sisters of St. Joseph (9–12). He came to the school from a Jewish section of the Brickyard, growing up on Vine Street with three synagogues within walking distance. It was a decision for which he remains grateful 70 years later. “St. Mary’s was a wonderful experience,” he said. “The education was rigorous and there was discipline. We had boys from different economic backgrounds, but everyone got along. It was an accepting environment.” McGinnis was in the classical course of study, taking four years of Latin, three years of French and two years of Greek. He felt ready when he moved on to Merrimack College, where he was a day student while working in the X-ray department at the old Lynn Hospital nights and weekends. “I think St. Mary’s prepared me very well academically and, most important, with the value system,” said McGinnis, who was valedictorian in high school and college. “When you’re in an environment at school that reflects the value system your parents have, that gives you the foundation you need.” In addition to solid values, McGinnis said the faith instilled in him by his parents and St. Mary’s has served him well throughout his personal and professional life. “One of the critical aspects of my teenage years was to be introduced to faith in an emotional and academic way,” he said. “You come back to that foundation of faith whenever you have a crisis in your life. That’s the


most important gift I received from St. Mary’s.” After graduating from Merrimack in 1967, McGinnis entered Officer Candidate School in the U.S. Navy, serving almost four years active duty and 24 years in the Navy Reserve. “The Navy was a life-changing experience for me,” said McGinnis, who achieved the rank of captain, one step below admiral. “It took a kid without a lot of confidence and matured me and toughened me up. It introduced me to people all over the world. That was foundational for me in my later career.” McGinnis earned a master’s at Boston College and a law degree from B.C. Law School and worked as an associate counsel in Washington, D.C. for a Congressional committee chaired by U.S. Rep. Joseph Moakley. His office was in the Capitol building. “For a kid from the Brickyard, it doesn’t get much better than that,” he said. McGinnis embarked on a lengthy career in the legal side of banking, starting in the law department at Bank Boston and surviving mergers with Fleet Bank and Bank of America. He was serving on the board of North Shore Medical Center when the chair, Stan Lukowski, who was CEO of Eastern Bank, asked if he would be interested in becoming general counsel at Eastern. McGinnis accepted and guided Eastern through several mergers and acquisitions, leaving in 2016 when Gov. Charlie Baker appointed him Massachusetts Commissioner of Banks. In 2018 he joined Nutter, McClennen & Fish, where he is senior of counsel.

recognition of his long-time service to the healthcare needs of the North Shore. He served on the hospital’s Board of Trustees for 24 years and remains chairman of the board of the North Shore Physicians Group. McGinnis, who lives in Lynn, refers to himself as “an old Irish bachelor, despite many novenas by my mother.” He is very close with his younger sister, Susan Lang, her husband, Joseph, (both St. Mary’s graduates) and their four children and three grandchildren. McGinnis’ niece, Katie, is a nurse practitioner and Maura is an ICU nurse. His nephew, Brendan, is a scientist doing cancer research, while Tim works at the Congressional Institute in Virginia. Tim is assisting in the design of the Grotto to the Blessed Mother in the Mosakowski Gardens at St. Mary’s, which McGinnis is also naming for his parents and grandparents, Terence Keaney and Catherine M. (Leydon) Keaney. “With three of them involved in medicine and science, (naming) the science lab made sense,” McGinnis said. “My mother would have loved the idea of having a lab named after her and my father. This lab is special. I owe it all to my parents.” It is a testament to the type of person Terry McGinnis is that three-quarters of a century into his life, he is still making those parents proud. by Paul Halloran

In November, McGinnis received the E. Augustus Holyoke, M.D. Award from Salem Hospital in

CLASS OF 2021

GRADUATION

St. Mary’s hosted its 140th commencement ceremony on Thursday, May 27, 2021 in the Mosakowski Gardens. Ninety-three seniors received their diplomas during the first commencement ceremony ever held outside. In a year like no other, Head of School Dr. John F. Dolan acknowledged the hard work of the students and teachers, which allowed the administration to hold in-person classes all year. “If there was one group that I am so happy and so proud to get to experience, it is the Class of 2021,” Dolan said. “Class of ’21, you deserve it, you have earned it and we are so proud of what you have achieved.” Class of 2021 Salutatorian Emily Monteiro Santos wished her class luck in their next endeavors, and said each senior has the power to leave the world a better place. Valedictorian Michelle Alison Callahan encouraged her classmates to set goals, but reminded them that it is OK to make mistakes and learn from them, because that shows strength. Callahan said that her class’ four years at St. Mary’s were a small glance at what they could achieve in the future, adding that “the best is yet to come.” Guest speaker and member of the St. Mary’s Class of 1971 Joan Luise Hill addressed the graduating class and said that everyone in the audience has witnessed miracles over the past year. Between a vaccine being made in less than a year and finishing school during a pandemic, Hill prided the Class of 2021 on its resilience and determination. “What a year. Let’s all breathe a sigh of relief that we 34 ST. MARY'S MAGAZINE

ANNUAL EDITION 2021

can not only see the finish line, but you guys have finished the race,” Hill said. “We can all be miracles for each other.” Hill encouraged the graduating class to bring their own gifts to the world, and said they are worthy enough and strong enough to make a difference in the world. “When you dream, give it your all,” Hill said. “Don’t dream small because if you think it, you can be it.” St. Mary’s was one of the few schools in the state that held in-person learning for the entire year, which the Board of Trustees Chair William S. Mosakowski classified as making history. “You came to school throughout the year, you competed and you spent your senior year together,” Mosakowski said. “Thank you for your resilience, your flexibility, your durability during this year, and for your discipline and your comradery through a pandemic.” Mosakowski told the graduates to seek a meaningful and happy life, saying “when you give happiness, you get it back.” The St. Mary’s Class of 2021 ended the ceremony with their annual cap throwing, as their faculty wished them the best of luck. “Be yourself,” Hill said. “Yes, everyone else is already taken.”

LEGACY FAMILY PROFILE

The Dowling Family At St. Mary’s the term legacy family is something commonly known as there are many families for which a St. Mary’s education spans generations. This is the case for the Dowling Family. The Dowling Family legacy began with the matriarch of the family, Margaret “Peggy” (McElroy) Dowling. Peggy was a 1958 graduate of St. Mary’s, and according to her daughter Siobhan was a “Spartan though and through”. She was a proud alumna from a generation that “took a great deal of pride” in their school. Peggy’s plan to have all of her children attend St. Mary’s and carry on her legacy came to fruition. Peggy was the proud mother of four children, all who graduated from St. Mary’s. Joseph Dowling, class of 1988, Tara (Dowling) Laundry, class of 1989, Meghan Dowling, class of 1991 and Siobhan (Dowling) Skabeikis, class of 1994. Growing up in Lynn, Catholic education was the path Peggy wanted all of her children to have. They all began their schooling at Sacred Heart School in Lynn, so moving on to St. Mary’s for high school was the natural next step. “It was important to my parents for us to have a Catholic education.” Joe said. As they were already at Sacred Heart, which was a primary feeder school to St. Mary’s, the choice was an obvious one. “There wasn’t another Catholic school that was even an option.” During their time at St. Mary’s all of the Dowling siblings were active in sports. Joe played football, basketball

and baseball, and was a member of the baseball team that won back to back state championships two years in a row in 1987 and 1988, when he was a junior and a senior. Tara was a member of the soccer and cheer teams and even came back to coach cheer when her sister Shiobahn was in school. Meghan was also active in basketball, softball and soccer, and received the Cardinal Cushing award for her athletic support and participation as well as a coaches award for basketball. In addition to cheer, Siobhan was also a member of the soccer team. Siobhan recalls fondly the camaraderie around school and athletics. Always having been around events from a young age, her strongest memories of St. Mary’s are of the tight knit community.” Beyond athletics, all members of the Dowling family touted the academic excellence of St. Mary’s while they were here which prepared them well for their futures. Joe, the oldest of the four siblings, graduated from Providence College with a Business Degree, before attending New York Chiropractic College where he graduated from in 1998. He owns a private chiropractic practice in Lynn, which opened in 2000. The second oldest sibling, Tara, continued her education after St. Mary’s at Plymouth State in New Hampshire for interdisciplinary studies. After working for two years, she decided pursue the medical field and received her Masters at Northeastern University and now works as a Speech Language Pathologist in the Lynn Public School system. Meghan, who proudly received perfect attendance in high school, currently works in retail. The youngest sibling, Siobhan, graduated from UMass Amhearst in 1998 with a Bachelors Degree in

Dowling continued. Communications Disorders. She then pursued a degree in Dental Hygiene and currently works as a dental hygienist. There is a new generation currently continuing the Dowling family legacy. Siobhan’s two daughters, Isabelle and Sophie, are in grades 9 and 8 respectively and enrolled at St. Mary’s in 2020. “It was a seamless transition.” Siobhan said. Their cousin, Tara’s daughter Avery, is also a grade 9 student, following not only in her mother’s footsteps, but also her brother Brendan, who graduated from St. Mary’s in 2019 and is currently a junior at Salve Regina. When asked why St. Mary’s for her children, Siobhan says, “While St. Mary’s was always going to be a consideration for high school, COVID was the reason to send the girls sooner as we did not want them remote for the whole year.” More importantly she notes, “The thing I didn’t know that was missing is the constant reminder of doing good for others. The religious and Catholic aspect we weren’t getting in public school and I appreciate the message, so am thankful for that.” Like most Spartans, the Dowlings say their best friends now are those they made in high school. Both Tara and

Joe echo this sentiment personally. Tara said, “My three best friends are still my three best friends from high school. We never lost contact and are fully engaged in each other’s lives.” Joe agrees, “My best friends in the world are the ones I met at St. Mary’s.” The same was true for their mother as Tara said, “Most of her best friends were women that she went to high school with, such as Norma Barbanti class of 1958,” who is also Tara’s godmother. The four Dowling siblings remain close and “get together as much as we can” Meghan says, with three living in Nahant and one in Swampscott. They celebrate holidays together and spend time over the summers as well. The siblings know that their mother, who passed in December of 2018, would be proud of the legacy that is being carried on, “She wanted her grandchildren to go to St. Mary’s.” Siobhan said, “I know she is smiling now to see her grandchildren there.” Joe says he is glad his nieces are “Keeping the legacy alive. It is a bond that you really won't find anywhere else.” by Jamie Gigliotti

Joseph Thongsythavong ’19 In 2018, when Joseph Thongsythavong was a St. Mary’s senior, he was named the Most Valuable Player of the CCL. Today he continues to be a valuable member as a junior at Norwich College in Vermont. He recently set the new single season record for goals scored. Sports are a huge part of his life, but so are academics. His day consists of “school work, sports, studying, and going to the gym. School is what you make of it. You can go out and make friends, go to movie nights and bonfires or sit in your room. It is up to you.” In addition to his studies, Joseph has a work-study job in the school’s equipment room where he makes sure the gear is ready for all the sports teams. He also works in the school’s Academic Achievement Center providing extra help to students. It is quite a balancing act to work and study, but he does it very successfully. 44 ST. MARY'S MAGAZINE

ANNUAL EDITION 2021

He has fond memories of his St. Mary’s days: being a member of the National Honor Society, reading Beowulf, “Mr. Doherty, who has a special place in my heart and Coaches Mike D’Agostino and Joe Gill ’09.” Last summer, Joseph came to visit and was impressed with the STEM building. The “rooms have a college feel and the school’s four pillars easily translate to college life.” St. Mary’s helped prepare him for the “journey and real world.” He offered to come back and talk to this year’s seniors about what it takes to succeed in college. Joseph always wanted to be in the military and is working towards to a career as either an Occupational Therapist or Physician’s Assistant. by Stacy Drector

St. Mary’s 2021 Connell Service Award was presented to St. Mary’s School Nurse Lisa Morin-Plante P’07’07’15 during the Junior Commissioning Ceremony on June 1, 2021.

“It warms my heart that we are leaders and so many join in to carry the mission of kindness and compassion in our school community, city, and world. I receive calls all year from people that are alumni or know our mission and want to help.”

Lisa has been instrumental in bringing service-oriented work to St. Mary’s students. When Lisa began at St. Mary’s in 2005, she introduced Rachel’s Challenge to the school community. Now, Rachel’s Challenge is in its 16th year at St. Mary’s. Lisa says, “Not only do we share our talent and treasure with others, we are built on kindness and compassion.” Some of the service projects that have been done over the past 16 years include: providing Police and Firemen dinners and breakfasts, collecting "Box of Joy," where small items are gathered and sent globally to children in need, make sandwiches for My Brother’s Table monthly, partner with the GE Fairy Godmother Project, participate in Wear Red for Beds, crafts for the Bridge House, Adopt a Grandparent, ARC Annual Christmas volunteers, and more.

Student recipients for the 2021 Connell Service Award were Christopher Coco Jr., Kiara LoNigro, Caroline Nerich and Madison Spencer, all members of the Class of 2022. The Connell Service Awards aim to introduce a higher level of awareness for the value of service to our students. It is our hope that they will learn how it is woven into the mission of St. Mary’s, and into the charism of who we are as a community of faith that supports others.

Imagine the likes of them, doing the likes of that, for the likes of me. — William F. Connell ’55

The Meaning of a Name At St. Mary’s, we remain forever grateful to our loyal alumni, trustees and benefactors who remember St. Mary’s and continue to give back with both their time and treasure. It is a joy to see their dedication forever remain a part of our school community with spaces named for them and their loved ones. Please see some newly named spaces on St. Mary’s campus here.

Saints’ Place is a new area in the Mosakowski Gardens where loved ones can be honored or memorialized. Fr. Brian blessed the new area on campus on All Saints Day on November 1, 2021.

MOSAKOWSKI GARDENS A garden is a symbol of growth and rebirth, which makes the new Mosakowski Gardens a most appropriate addition to the St. Mary’s campus. Named for longtime, generous benefactors Bill and Jane, the Mosakowski Gardens, located behind the new STEM building and in between the school and St. Mary’s Church, will provide space for learning, gathering, prayer, reflection and celebration. “Bill and Jane have been tremendous benefactors and supporters of St. Mary’s,” said Head of School Dr. John F. Dolan. “We are naming the gardens for them in recognition of that support.” Bill Mosakowski has served on the Board of Trustees since its inception in 2006 and has been chair since 2014. He was recruited to the board by former Pastor Rev. Msgr. Paul V. Garrity and has never left. “It made a lot of sense for me to stay involved,” he said. “I have a real fondness for education, especially primary and secondary education, where the learning experience takes place and kids are prepared for college and adulthood.”

ANNUAL EDITION 2021

The Mosakowski Gardens will be split into two quadrangles: a student life side and a spiritual side. The student side is named for Dr. Elizabeth Molloy Twomey ’52, vice chair of the board of trustees. There is space for classes, outdoor dining, theater performances, community gatherings and celebrations. It was christened in May with a performance by the eminently talented Amanda Mena ’21 along with a Christmas concert in December. The sacred side will feature a grotto dedicated to the Blessed Mother, in an area where the altar in the old chapel sat. There will be powder-coated hydraulic cut aluminum Stations of the Cross, designed by John Kirby ’79, that are replicas of the Stations in St. Mary’s Church. Saints Place is a tribute to those who are honored or memorialized, while the Cardinal Seán O’Malley Sanctuary is a space for prayer and reflection, with a water fountain surrounded by landscaping.


ANNUAL REPORT OF GIVING

The St. Patrick’s Gate, dedicated to Ed Calnan ’57, serves as a ceremonial passage between the school and the church. Dolan said it would only be opened twice a year, for students to enter on their first day as a St. Mary’s student and for seniors to exit on their last day. “Everything is coming together as we had hoped,” Mosakowski said. “Not only are we creating this meaningful space, we’re doubling down on our commitment to the neighborhood we have been in for more than a century.” Mosakowski said it is gratifying to see the area outside of the new STEM building complement the inside. “We are creating a state-of-the-art interior and exterior,” he said. “From a design perspective, the inside is beautiful and the gardens are more beautiful. The environmental beauty reflects thoughtfully on our connection to the church and to the community, and this will improve students’ academic and social experience.” Dolan said work on the Mosakowski Gardens will be complete by next summer, with a formal dedication planned for September 2022. He added that the Cardinal O’Malley Sanctuary will be the only physical structure named for him in the Archdiocese of Boston and the Cardinal has approved of all of the design elements. “That is a reflection on how he feels about Bill and Jane and what they have done for the Church,” Dolan said. by Paul Halloran

GREETINGS FROM THE BOARD CHAIR

Dear St. Mary’s Community, Our Head of School, Dr. Dolan, typically ends his emails with #ForwardAlwaysForward. It provides a good reminder that regardless of the issues that have demanded our attention in the past, the viability of any organization depends upon its ability to focus on the future and have a vision and clear plan for success. With that in mind, it is especially gratifying for the board of trustees and everyone associated with St. Mary’s to see the ASCEND 2026 strategic plan come to fruition. We sincerely appreciate co-chairs Mark Doyle ’76 and Ellen Fritz ’86 and the dozens of stakeholders who came together in a spirit of collaboration and mission to formulate this strategic plan.

ASCEND 2026 provides us with a detailed look at our strengths, areas in which we can improve and, most important, a roadmap to take us where we want to be in terms of student achievement and outcomes, as well as operational excellence. As Mark points out in the story in this edition on ASCEND 2026, the next step is to execute the plan and ensure that it becomes a living document. I have the utmost confidence that our staff, students, families, and other stakeholders will make that a reality. As we all continue to navigate the significant obstacles presented by the pandemic, I am impressed by the commitment of our students and staff to implement the Care For All 2.0 plan and keep our school fully operational. We will all be stronger from this experience, regardless of how challenging it is along the way. Under the direction of Dr. Dolan and his team, our school is thriving and momentum is building. The STEM building is understandably turning heads; it is spectacular. I know my fellow trustees share in my sentiment that we feel privileged to be able to serve St. Mary’s at this time in its illustrious history. We appreciate our role in helping everyone to keep their eyes on the prize while looking #ForwardAlwaysForward. Sincerely,

William S. Mosakowski St. Mary’s Board Chair

ANNUAL REPORT OF GIVING JULY 1, 2020–JUNE 30, 2021


Thank you for your unwavering support.

Dear St. Mary’s Community, This year more than ever we are grateful to those who supported St. Mary’s during an unprecedented time. We all lived through the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and it affected everyone in different ways. While St. Mary’s bravely opened our doors to in-person learning in the Fall of 2020, we were not able to gather as we usually do to celebrate class reunions, meet for small gatherings, and even celebrate as a whole for key fundraising events such as Cushing, Varsity Club and Hall of Fame. Even our gala to celebrate the opening of the new STEM and Gateway building was postponed. Yet, the St. Mary’s community came together more than ever and continued to support our school through creative ways. We had virtual events, one on one visits with donors, small tours of our new building, online meetings and more. We are so grateful to our donor base for standing with us throughout this unique year by continuing to show your support. The results of this support are presented here in St. Mary’s 2020–21 Annual Report and they are astounding! This year, thanks to your support, St. Mary’s Annual Fund raised $3.6 million, which is a 7% increase year over year and an amazing feat given the challenges we all faced. So, we thank you! Thank you for continuing to believe in us, thank you for supporting our faculty and students who are here teaching and learning everyday, and thank you for being champions of St. Mary’s. We could not live out our mission of preparing a diverse student body to excel in their future without you and we are forever grateful. Sincerely,

Jamie Gigliotti Executive Director of External Affairs
