On the Cover:
St. Mary’s campus has always paid homage to our patron saint, Mary, and with the completion of The Mosakowski Gardens, two of the St. Mary statues have been placed in their permanent homes. This photo contains both Mary statues as they now sit on campus.
The cover shows Holy Mary holding baby Jesus. This statue formerly lived in St. Mary’s Chapel and now stands where the altar once stood under a Grotto dedicated by Terence McGinnis ’63 in memory of his parents and grandparents. The Holy Mary statue, in the front left corner here and on the back cover, is the statue which previously stood in the rear of campus near the bridge and now looks toward the Cardinal Seán Fountain and the Connell building.

SPOTLIGHT ON
ST. MARY’S COMMUNITY
After nearly three years of learning and growing during the COVID pandemic, one thing remained a constant source of support, the St. Mary’s Community. Together we faced challenges, rose above the many difficult times, and persevered. We remained open for inperson learning, incurred additional costs to educate students, learned how to test and contact trace, all while maintaining a safe and secure learning environment for our students. Not only did we face the challenge, we did not just remain constant, we grew and moved forward.
We are in the third school year of learning in the new STEM building, which allowed expansion for both space and programming. We have completed the reflective side of The Mosakowski Gardens, which contains a Grotto to Mary named for George and Katherine Keaney McGinnis ’35 and Terence and Catherine Leydon Keaney, loving parents and grandparents of Terry McGinnis ’63. The reflective side also contains stations of the cross represented in hydraulic cut aluminum, as well as a fountain named for Cardinal Seán O’Malley. The second St. Mary statue within The Mosakowski Gardents has always been a constant on St. Mary’s campus and now looks towards Connell Building. This space provides another area to gather, meet, reflect, pray and be grateful for all the opportunities St. Mary’s provides to our community.
As St. Mary’s continues on our mission, we know we will rely on the ever-strong St. Mary’s Community, whose long and storied history set the stage for a bright future for years to come.
Enjoy this issue of St. Mary’s Magazine!

GREETINGS
From Head of School Dr. John F. Dolan
Greetings St. Mary’s Community,
It is my pleasure each year to write this letter and address the many different constituents who read this magazine. Our students, families, faculty, staff and trustees are the closest to what is going on at the school day in and day out. Yet, our alumni, friends and benefactors, both near and far, also remain close to the forever true Spartan Pride that runs deep in the spirit of all those who are blessed enough to be a part of this legacy in some way.
This school year was a sort of fresh start for St. Mary’s, as we once again opened our doors to in-person learning, but were able to welcome our students mask-free in September—something we haven’t done since 2019! While it may seem like a trivial factor, to be able to see our students smiles and expressions on a daily basis is not something to be taken for granted and a welcome benefit to have returned.
St. Mary’s campus looks better than ever before! In 2022, the finishing touches were completed with the installation of The Mosakowski Gardens, which includes a Grotto to Mary, stations of the cross and Cardinal Seán Fountain! It is a wonderful reflective space, which encourages prayer and fellowship for all those who visit. The STEM Building, which has been open since October 2020, is in its third year of academic use and has become the hub of our academic experience.
At the heart of this all is our students, who receive an exemplary education provided by our stellar faculty members who show up everyday with passion, drive and dedication. St. Mary’s students thrive both in and out of the classroom; from the field to the court, from our times of worship to service, from studying to volunteering. They do their best, try their hardest and always make us proud.
Thank you for being part of our St. Mary’s Community. Your contribution, no matter your role, is part of the legacy and what it means to be a Spartan! Forward, always forward.
Sincerely,
Dr. John F. Dolan Head of School

FACULTY PROFILE
Deirdre Foley
When Ms. Deirdre Foley started ninth grade at Villa Walsh, an all-girls high school in New Jersey run by the Sisters of St. Lucy Filippini, she was impressed by classmates who’d been in Catholic schools throughout their lives.
“I thought to myself, ’This is so special. They pray during the day and share liturgy together.’ That was wild to me. I thought it was so beautiful.”
After getting her degree in education and psychology from Gettysburg College in Pennsylvania, Ms. Foley came to the Boston area to work as a teacher.
“I was really drawn to Catholic elementary schools to teach the faith,” she says. “My mom taught religious education. It was a big part of our lives.”
Ms. Foley taught second grade at St. Joseph’s in Medford for 13 years, and when a friend suggested that she work with high school students, Ms. Foley dismissed the idea. She didn’t believe that it would be right for her, but the friend persisted.
“I thought about it and, you know what, I really felt God was leading me in this new direction. Everyone thought I was crazy, but I was just so sure of it.”
She spent two years at Malden Catholic and in 2021 was one of 10 recipients of the Archdiocese of Boston Excellence in Education Award.
Eventually, Ms. Foley felt that God wanted her to come to St. Mary’s.
“He called me here for a reason. There must be a new plan,” she says. “God loves to challenge me.”
She already knew Mr. Mike McDuffee, Campus Minister and Theology Department Chair, through his music ministry, and he thought highly of her.
“When I came back to St. Mary’s in 2019, there were a few people that I knew I wanted to include on the Campus Ministry team if I ever had the chance,” Mr. McDuffee says, “and Ms. Foley was at the top of my list.” He reached out and asked her to apply.
“Knowing his vision for things I knew it would be a good fit,” she says. “Then I came for the interview, and I had this great feeling: This is where I’m supposed to be. I had seen all these things about St. Mary’s: the cardinal was here, the bishop was here, the governor was here. And I said, ’Wow! What a great school!’”
She hasn’t looked back.
“I love it. I have a great department. I think we work really well together. There are so many kids here that are so amazing. I love how we are true to diversity and serving everyone locally. I think that’s so important—understanding the needs of the students that we have.”
6 ST. MARY'S MAGAZINE ANNUAL EDITION 2023
This year Ms. Foley is teaching all of the sophomores in a class called Sacraments and Church History.
“I really love teaching theology. It’s a part of everything I do,” she says. “I see my job as twofold: the curriculum, as well as connecting with students on their faith, and I don’t take that lightly.”
graduate degree in educational leadership and policy from Boston College.
“One of the things I brought to Campus Ministry was the Agape Latte program,” she says. “It came from BC. It started as one of their initiatives. ’Agape’ means the greatest love of all, sacrificial love. We invite someone to share their faith story and then we’ll have coffee and dessert.”
The program started with a talk from retiring math teacher Mr. Stephen Russo in the spring of 2022, and the event was a big success. Ms. Foley has lined up several speakers for Agape Latte in the coming months. Mr. McDuffee is certainly glad that God pointed his colleague in this direction.
She tries her best to be “authentic” with her students every day, and students at St. Mary’s appreciate her efforts.
“Ms. Foley is a great teacher and role model for me,” says junior Giana Ribeiro. “She embodies what Mother Teresa said, to ’do small things with great love.’ She does many things behind the scenes for our school and for her students, and every recipient of her kindness experiences this great love that she has in helping others.”
In addition to teaching and being part of the Campus Ministry team, Ms. Foley is also taking classes for a
“Whether it’s her amazing lessons, the way she connects with students at Salt & Light,” he says, “her commitment to Rachel’s Challenge, or her willingness to take on any responsibility that has been left unattended to, she is a treasured member of our school and department.”

Four classes of GARRITY SCHOLARS ENROLLED
In 2018, thanks to the generosity of a special donor, St. Mary’s launched The Garrity Scholars program. The Garrity Scholars is a competitive merit award program that recognizes the best and brightest students through an application process that includes a student-written essay and in-person interview in addition to grades, HSPT score and teacher recommendations. It is the most prestigious award offered at St. Mary’s and acknowledges excellence through a focus on STEM education, personal leadership qualities, and a commitment to the St. Mary’s pillars. All of these are hallmarks of the life of Monsignor Paul Garrity, who was the pastor for 18 years at St. Mary’s Parish in Lynn with responsibility for St. Mary’s Middle School and High School. Under his leadership, St. Mary’s Lynn was transformed and took its rightful place as one of the premier Catholic high schools in the north shore region. Monsignor Garrity is a storied and revered figure in the St. Mary’s community.
The first class of Garrity Scholars began their freshmen year in Fall 2019. Fast forward to September 2022 and for the first time ever, St. Mary’s has four classes of Garrity Scholars, one cohort in each high school grade.
On September 26, 2022, Msgr. Garrity visited campus to meet with the entire group of Garrity Scholars to give a special presentation on what it means to be a leader.
Msgr. Garrity began by asking the group what is their favorite thing about St. Mary’s. Passing around the microphone, students answered with sentiments such as diversity, relationships, caring faculty, coaches, friends, opportunities, being prepared for the future, sports and clubs. The number one answer was the sense of community within the school. Next Msgr. Garrity asked students to share who has impressed them as a leader. Students answers spanned from parents to teachers to national leaders, but each had a special impact on them and their lives.
The Garrity Scholars program, and the students who have earned this recognition, is something we are proud of here at St. Mary’s. We are especially grateful to Msgr. Garrity and his legacy that these scholars now carry on by name, and look forward to what these students will leave behind in their own right

SAVAS TRELLOPOULOS
St. Mary’s Middle School
If I know that I can do something to better someone else’s life, I’ll do so. The only reward is in knowing that I helped someone else. Being a leader is about putting others before yourself, no matter what the circumstance. I only hope that even in the smallest ways, I can improve the world around me as a student, leader, and friend—whether I am aware of it or not.
NATALIE VASQUEZ
St. Mary’s Middle School
Time, effort, and dedication are imperative to developing leadership qualities, and in order to become the best leader possible, all of the qualities and talents must be exercised and implemented in one’s daily life. I have aspirations for a better society and a desire to improve my leadership skills. Being influential, problemsolving, and integrative, I can help others to succeed and make a difference in their lives, like St. Mary has done to me.
NICHOLAS FUSCO
St. Mary’s Middle School
I believe that education is a gift, and that it should not be taken for granted. We should be grateful for being given this opportunity. I will lead by working hard academically and encouraging others to aim for the same. As I continue at St. Mary’s, I want to lead by example. I will strive for admirable grades, participate in community activities, and support my community through my actions with the hope of inspiring others to do the same.
ANGELICA MUNOZ RODRIGUEZ
East Boston Central Catholic
Showing leadership doesn’t have to be someone carrying the weight of people’s situations and putting it all on themselves. I believe I can become a leader in St. Mary’s high school by helping others and being able to be a role model for other students.
CAMERYN DUNN
Pickering Middle School
Soccer is a passion in my life, so becoming a captain was an honor. At St. Mary’s I wish to continue my leadership through soccer. I would lead by example, always giving 100 percent in both practice and games. In addition to working hard on my athletic performance, it is equally important to support and encourage my teammates. Helping my teammates has always brought me genuine joy and I feel more fulfilled when I can help my peers and in turn receive help.
TONY HUYHN
St. Pius V
Being a leader means being able to take up any challenge heading your way, through perseverance, as well as learning and improving from your mistakes. I always take initiative and end up having a leading role, since maintaining a level head under pressure is something I excel at.
BRAYDEN CRAWFORD
Saugus Middle School
Although I am a quiet kid, my teachers definitely view me as a leader in their classes. I set a strong example by always making the right choices, being an active participant, and being an overall good student. I am a student that my peers can look up to and come to for help or maybe even advice. When I am passionate about something I put my whole heart into it.
ZACHARY GUELPA
Rumney Marsh Academy
I am a leader who respects everyone’s opinion. I don’t leave anyone out and make sure that everyone gets a say in what happens. It is important for people to be heard and feel appreciated. I am a confident leader. Being self-confident is important for a leader because it shows you do not doubt your decisions and gives your peers more confidence in your abilities.
GRACE FOX
St. John’s Boston
Leadership is shown through actions, decisions, and the positive effect on others. A person cannot declare him or herself as a leader and should not automatically be chosen as one. This role should be earned through experience and reputation. Leaders are people you can look up to, who support and encourage you, and pick you up when you fall.
JAZMIN RODRIGUEZ
Immaculate Conception Revere
People think to be a leader you need to be the best at everything you do. However, I think a leader is someone who looks out for others. Someone who has great hope in success at any cost. Someone who wants what’s best for another, even when that is not the best for them. A leader isn’t necessarily the captain of every team but is the one everyone trusts to guide them.
DILLON BARRETT
Lynn Vocational Technical Institute
My graduating year from PHLL I was presented with the Christopher Spagnoli award for my determination and respect. I demonstrate the same respect, effort, and growth mindset on the field as I do in the classroom. In the world we live in, we must overcome our differences, and realize that we are all humans who matter. I always treat people with the same respect that I want in return.
JANELLE VILLANUEVA
St. John’s Peabody
Being able to be a leader while also treating everyone the same way I would like them to treat me, shows a sense of dependability in me and equality in treatment rather than being a leader with followers. With that being said, I will show my leadership skills by treating everyone equally and doing my best to include everyone by embracing diversity to open myself and others to a larger viewpoint.

From Fenway to Gillette, SPARTANS SHINE
Some football teams that qualify for the MIAA Super Bowl struggle with the decision of whether to play their starters on Thanksgiving, or eliminate the possibility of injury by resting them, with a state championship game just over a week away.
In reality, it should always be an easy decision and it was an absolute no-brainer for St. Mary’s Coach Sean Driscoll, considering the venue for the Spartans’ Thanksgiving Eve matchup with former Catholic Central League rival Austin Prep, which left this year for the NEPSAC: Fenway Park.
There would be no resting starters in
that scenario, even standout running back David Brown, who may not have been at 100 percent, but wouldn’t consider giving up the chance to play a game beneath the Green Monster.
“This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” said Brown, who scored the first touchdown on a 15-yard pass from sophomore quarterback Tyler Guy.
It was surely a good omen when the day started with St. Mary’s winning the coin flip—called and tossed by honorary captain and former coach Matt Durgin—and it got better from there, as the Spartans rolled to a 34–21 win.
“Special,” was Driscoll’s one-word answer when asked what it was like to play at Fenway. “When you’re a kid and you come here for the first
time and come out of that tunnel, all you see is green. That’s what it was like today for these kids when we came out of the dugout for warm-ups.”
Guy, senior Derick Coulanges, junior Joel Maggs and eighthgrader Maxwell Parent also scored for the Spartans, while senior Omri Merryman had two interceptions. It was a memorable day, from start to finish.
“You come out of the dugout and take 10 seconds for yourself and realize where you are,” said senior Jack Marks.
Ten days later, the Spartans would be in a venue twice the size of Fenway, taking on Stoneham in the Div. 6 championship game. From
10 ST. MARY'S MAGAZINE ANNUAL EDITION 2023
the home of the Red Sox to the home of the Patriots in back-to-back games. Not bad for a small school on Tremont Street.
“The words ’once-in-a-lifetime’ get thrown around a lot in sports,” Athletic Director Jeff Newhall said. “But to be able to compete in those two venues in two weeks is unheard of.”
While only bragging rights and better-tasting turkey were at stake at Fenway, the game at Gillette was played for the highest of stakes: a state championship, which would keep alive an incredible streak for the St. Mary’s athletic program (see related story).
Mission accomplished.
As he is known to do, Brown played his best on the biggest stage, rushing for 195 yards and scoring all four touchdowns in a 29–8 win over Stoneham, giving St. Mary’s at least one state championship for the 16th consecutive school year.
“He’s special,” Driscoll said. “Special player and a special person. He’s even a better person than he is an athlete.”
The Spartans finished the season with a 12–1 record and 427 points scored. They were undefeated away from Manning Field, including the big-league stadiums in Boston and Foxborough.
“You set goals every year going into the season,” said Driscoll. “To see the players cash in on their ultimate goal was pretty satisfying. Playing at Fenway Park and looking at the glow in their eyes and getting the thrill of playing at two great venues, you couldn’t ask for a better end of the year.”
Amen to that.

“...to be able to compete in those two venues in two weeks is unheard of.”
Cardinal Seán FOUNTAIN DEDICATION
On the morning of September 16, Head of School Dr. John F. Dolan greeted a visitor outside St. Mary’s Church and escorted him to the area behind the school. The guest stood out by his garb: brown habit, sandals, red zucchetto atop his head.
Cardinal Seán O’Malley is no stranger to Tremont Street, having made the trip from Brighton and, more recently, Braintree many times in his 20 years as Archbishop of Boston. It’s always a special day when the cardinal comes to town.
Prior to the annual opening of school Mass, which Cardinal O’Malley celebrated, Dolan showed him the Mosakowski Gardens, an oasis in downtown Lynn, named for Board of Trustees Chair Bill and his wife, Jane. There is the grotto to the Blessed Mother, which stands on the site of the altar in the chapel annex building that was taken down to make way for the construction of the new STEM building; aluminum Stations of the Cross; and a fountain in the middle of a plot of green grass —the Cardinal Seán Fountain, by all accounts the only physical structure named for the cardinal in the Archdiocese of Boston.
Father Brian Flynn, the pastor of St. Mary of the Sacred Heart Parish, concelebrated the Mass, attended by trustees, guests and more than 700 St. Mary’s students.
Four years ago, St. Mary’s had 504 students in grades 6–12. This year, that number multiplied to 704, a 40-percent increase that could be considered

the enrollment version of the loaves and fishes.
“If you had told me in 2018 we would be where we are today, I would never have believed you,” Dolan said. He wouldn’t have been alone.
Also at the Mass were students from Sacred Heart, now part of the St. Mary’s School umbrella, where enrollment is up 36 percent from 2018 (225 vs. 166), as well as St. Pius, another feeder school.
“Jesus has given us all the correct answers,” Cardinal O’Malley said in his homily. “Our final exam is the last judgement, when we are all going to be examined on one
thing: love … Catholic education is about building a civilization of love.”
The cardinal was preaching to an attentive audience that included trustees Betty Twomey and Mark Mathers and Archdiocese of Boston Superintendent of Schools Thomas Carroll.
After communion, Mosakowski— who has played a leading role in the St. Mary’s resurgence through his leadership and philanthropy— thanked the cardinal for his longstanding support of St. Mary’s and Catholic education in general, and presented him with a framed photo of the fountain named in his honor.
Before the end of Mass and the formal blessing of the Cardinal Seán Fountain, grotto and Stations of the Cross, the cardinal continued a tradition that 1963 St. Mary’s Boys High School graduate Terry McGinnis recalled dates back to Cardinal Richard Cushing, when he announced a day off on Nov. 23, allowing everyone the chance to watch the football team play Austin Prep at Fenway Park.
The closing song, Matt Maher’s “Hold Us Together,” ends with this line, repeated for emphasis: “It’s gonna be alright. It’s gonna be alright.”
That day at St. Mary’s was much more than that.

LEGACY FAMILY PROFILE
Making their Marks at St. Mary’s
From marriages to career paths to next-generation legacies, St. Mary’s has played an integral role in the Marks’ family history over the years.
Cynthia (Marks) Donovan ’79, Michael Marks ’80, and Christine (Marks) Geaney ’86, all lifelong Lynn residents, grew up as St. Mary’s parishioners and were eager to attend the school.
“My parents (Terry and Nancy Marks), who are lifelong residents of Lynn and have been married for 62 years, wanted a faithful education, with a sense of community and family, for all of us,” Donovan said. “Our teachers all cared about us, inside of school and out.”
Donovan, who was part of the last graduating class of St. Mary’s Elementary School, was the first in her family to enroll as a seventh-grader.
The experience was an impactful one. Donovan now serves as principal of Our Lady of the Assumption School in Lynnfield. She started out substitute teaching while her daughters were students and then was hired to teach first-grade in 1999. She and her husband, Kevin, have three daughters, Ashley, Allison and Amy.
Donovan’s grandfather, James Marks, had been deputy superintendent of Lynn Public Schools while she was in high school, encouraging her to pursue a career in education.
“He inspired me to become a teacher,” said Donovan, who is in her sixth year as principal of OLA. “I wanted
to work in a Catholic school, knowing you can bring Jesus into the classroom. I want our students to be joyful at school and feel loved, and I want them to know they are all special in God’s eyes.”
Donovan’s youngest daughter, Amy, graduated from St. Mary’s in 2012, and also taught at St. Mary’s in 2017. She is now an eighth grade teacher at Breed Middle School in Lynn. She isn’t the only legacy.
Marks and Geaney both enrolled their children at St. Mary’s. Marks’ son Jack is a senior and twins Christopher and Nicholas are juniors. They all graduated from OLA—under the leadership of their aunt—and went on to St. Mary’s as freshmen. Jack earned a four-year, full-tuition, merit-based scholarship through the Garrity Scholars program. Christopher and Nicholas were accepted into the St. Mary’s Scholars Program, which offers students special enrichment opportunities, as well as merit scholarships.
“They applied to five local schools and my preference, as an alum, was St. Mary’s, and fortunately it seemed to be the most logical place for them to land,” said Marks. “[Head of School] John Dolan is bringing academics to a high level, while also keeping athletics at the same rate, and that’s really attractive for student-athletes.”
The Marks boys all play varsity football, and it was a thrill for them to win a state title this year, defeating Stoneham in the Division 6 MIAA Super Bowl. They
14 ST. MARY'S MAGAZINE ANNUAL EDITION 2023
also play baseball and Jack was part of the team that secured the state championship in 2021.
Marks was also a student athlete during his time at St. Mary’s, playing football, basketball and baseball.
“It was just a great experience,” he said. “I’m still friends with dozens of former classmates.”
He went on to earn his bachelor’s in criminal justice and spent more than 30 years with the Essex County Sheriff’s Department. He started out as a correctional officer in Salem and retired as superintendent of the county’s Correctional Alternative Center in Lawrence.
Marks’ wife, Joanne, is a graduate of Lynn Classical High School, but her parents, Mary (Kelter) and Jack Hollow, are graduates of the St. Mary’s Class of 1956. The couple started dating at St. Mary’s and shared 62 years of marriage before Jack passed away in 2021. He served as Lynn chief of police for 13 years.
The Hollows’ love story can be appreciated by Geaney, who attended Lynn Public Schools before enrolling at St. Mary’s as a sophomore and meeting her future husband, Rick. They started dating as sophomores, went to Mass. College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences together and married in 1992. She works as a pharmacist in the office of Asthma and Allergy Affiliates and he serves as the pharmacy investigator for the Mass. Department of Public Health. His sister, Beth, ’93, also met her husband, Lou Pento ’93, at St. Mary’s.
The Geaneys’ daughters followed in their parents’ footsteps, enrolling at St. Mary’s. Emily ’13, is now a first-grade teacher at Ford Elementary School in Lynn, while Megan ’16, is a student at the Mass. College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences. They played volleyball, basketball and softball and participated in a number of service events during their time at St. Mary’s. Ironically enough, they even shared with their parents the same guidance counselor and two teachers, who have since retired. “We let them explore all options, but they both chose St. Mary’s,” said Geaney. “They went to OLA, and liked the smaller community, and the beautiful new building and gym (at St. Mary’s).”
All of the Marks siblings can’t get over the changes that have taken place in the decades since they were in the classroom.
“It’s amazing the transformation between the STEM building and the new library,” said Donovan. “When I go to the football and basketball games and see OLA alumni, they seem so happy.”
“It’s absolutely changed,” said Marks. “It’s beautiful. We had three buildings and now they have a state-of-theart campus.”

A SPECIAL CUSHING EVENT
JAMES G. BALDINI ’66 PRESENTED WITH CARDINAL CUSHING AWARD AND EIGHT INDUCTED INTO HALL OF FAME
St. Mary’s held a special Cushing Event on Thursday, April 28, 2022 at the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem. The Cardinal Cushing Award was presented to James G. Baldini ’66. The Cushing Award is presented to a vigorous champion of Catholic education whose personal and professional life mirror St. Mary’s mission. In a video introducing Baldini, Tom Iarrobino ’62 called him “humble, shy, humorous, self-deprecating and passionate, ”especially when it comes to supporting his alma mater."
Coupled with the Cushing Event, St. Mary’s Hall of Fame welcomed eight new members, Mary Ann Calnan ’77, Dr. Nicole Chandler ’91, Thomas Clinton Sr. ’58, Jean Mullen Irzyck ’43, William ’63 and Sheila Martin ’63, Terence McGinnis ’63 and Dr. Richard Peinert ’65.
Gov. Charlie Baker and his wife, Lauren, received the William F. Connell ’55 Service Award, presented to individuals who provide consistent and exemplary service. The award was presented by Connell’s sons, Bill and Terence.
St. Mary’s Board Chair William Mosakowski thanked the governor for encouraging schools such as St. Mary’s to remain open during the pandemic and providing critical state funding to help them do so.
“They made our Commonwealth better, fairer, stronger and a better place to live,” Mosakowski said of the Bakers.
“This place builds great lives on behalf of great people and a great community,” Gov. Baker told the more than 300 in attendance. “I can’t imagine the North Shore without St. Mary’s smack in the middle of it for at least another 100 years.”
Student speakers were Emely Rodriguez ’22 and John Marks ’23. Rodriguez spoke about the challenges of transferring to St. Mary’s while she was in high school and how she was welcomed, while Marks talked about being a thirdgeneration Spartan and rebounding from a serious injury, with the support of coaches and teammates, to become an all-league football player.
A tribute video in memory of former trustee, T. Richard Cuffe ’63 was also shared with the audience that evening.
The evening was a spectacular success and brought together alumni and friends that support the St. Mary’s mission.

CUSHING RECIPIENT, JAMES G. BALDINI ’66
Jim Baldini’s answer when asked what has kept him so connected and invested in his alma mater says volumes about the 1966 St. Mary’s graduate. “The people I attended school with who turned out to be my best friends in life,” Baldini says.
Baldini has remained an active alumnus and generous benefactor, with labs bearing his name in the new STEM building. He is always there when St. Mary’s needs him, which makes him a deserving recipient of the Cardinal Cushing Award, presented to a vigorous champion of Catholic education whose personal and professional life mirror St. Mary’s mission.
“There’s a great opportunity to invest in St. Mary’s through the leadership of (board chair) Bill Mosakowski and the leadership team in place at the school,” he says. “They’ve built one of the finest schools I’ve ever seen. It resembles a college and it serves the community of Lynn.”
Baldini earned an economics degree at the University of New Hampshire. After working in the mortgage insurance and banking business, he went into residential financial services and eventually commercial real estate, building a very successful portfolio of multifamily apartments and industrial properties.
Baldini, a member of the St. Mary’s Hall of Fame who has a floor in the Connell Center named for him, is passionate about supporting STEM education, due to the demand for professionals in that field.

ONE ST. MARY’S
In 2019, St. Mary’s and Sacred Heart schools merged and all operations for Sacred Heart School became absorbed by St. Mary’s. After three successful years of operating in this manner, St. Mary’s announced some exciting changes at the beginning of this school year intended to further enhance the experience for students and families.
Sacred Heart School has been fully rebranded as St. Mary’s. The change was immediate in some areas and gradual in others, with the intention to make the final piece of this transition as seamless as possible.
“When you look at the history of St. Mary’s, this merger is on the short list of iconic moments in the history of the school,” said
Head of School Dr. John F. Dolan. “The school opened in 1861, a girls division (of the high school) was added in 1923 and we added a middle school in the late 1980s. The board approved the merger in 2018 and the decision to merge completely in 2021 as part of the Ascend 2026 strategic plan.” Campus location is changing as well, with kindergarten through grade 5 classes moving to Tremont Street starting with the 2023–24 school year.
Dolan said that arrangement provides students with enhanced opportunities in academics, athletics and other extracurricular activities.
“We have curriculum mapping, our older students can mentor our younger students, and our middle school students have the
opportunity to play high school athletics,” Dolan said. “The old way of looking at an educational program was one year at a time. Now, if a seventh-grader can do ninth-grade math, he or she will be in that classroom. It’s a forward-looking way. Each student will have their own journey through St. Mary’s.”

Celebrating OUR SUPPORTERS
On Thursday, September 1, 2022, St. Mary’s invited a select group of benefactors to attend a dinner to thank them for their leadership and support. The dinner began with a reception in the newly finished Mosakowski Gardens and then moved to a seated dinner in the James G. Baldini ’66 STEM Laboratories for dinner and a special presentation.
The program included remarks from Head of School Dr. John F. Dolan, followed by St. Mary’s longest historical giver, James J. Carrigan ’59 and Board Chair William Mosakowski. The night’s featured special guest speaker was Fr. Bryan Hehir, Secretary for Health and Social Services in the Cardinal’s Cabinet in the Archdiocese of Boston. Fr. Hehir’s address captivated the audience as he spoke about the history of St. Mary’s from the perspective of rebuilding and renewal. Fr. Hehir captured the content of a St. Mary’s education in two words: Catholic and catalytic. Fr, Hehir said, “Catholic provides the foundation of what is done here; catalytic provides the hope we have for all those who walk through the St. Patrick’s Gate on their way into the St. Mary’s experience and then walk out at graduation to a wider world which they can confidently engage.” Fr. Hehir closed his speech talking about catalytic hope which shapes the work of St. Mary’s to produce “a way of life”, for our students who come with their dreams, the leadership, faculty and staff who embody the hope of St. Mary’s, and the donors who make St. Mary’s possible and sustain its promise. Msgr. Paul Garrity gave the closing remarks and prayer for the evening.

Class of 2022 GRADUATION
The most emphatic words spoken at St. Mary’s commencement ceremony Thursday were spoken by Head of School
Dr. John Dolan, who told the graduates “you deserve this.”
“You deserve this,” he said, “and you earned this.”
Dolan explained to the 85 graduates that he heard one of their classmates speak at the baccalaureate Mass Wednesday.
Colin Martin reflected on the beginnings of the coronavirus pandemic, which occurred his sophomore year, and how all the attention seemed to be devoted to the juniors and seniors.
“I will admit,” Dolan said, “that we didn’t talk about the sophomores
much. We may not have talked about them at all.”
Dolan reflected that he was the middle child of a large family and that he knew what it was like to be an afterthought.
“You do what you have to do to get along,” he said.
And so did the sophomores, he said. He watched them develop into a boisterous, fun-loving class that distinguished itself by the spirit it showed at sporting events and other social gatherings.
During the ceremony, the school’s 141st, special presentations were made to Golden Jubilarian Maryanne Rooney-Hegan, one of the members of the Class of ’72, who will mark off their 50th reunion later this year. She accepted a Golden Jubilee pin on behalf of her class.
Also honored was Thomas L. Demakes, CEO and owner of Old Neighborhood Foods, who received an honorary diploma. Demakes is one of the city’s principal benefactors, whose charity has extended to St. Mary’s as well as the new YMCA across the street.
Demakes spoke of his family’s origins in Lynn and the lessons he learned finding himself.
“Those who work the hardest go furthest,” he said. “And the only thing that counts more than hard work is integrity.” That sentiment was echoed by Lawrence Doherty, an English teacher chosen by the students to be the faculty speaker.
“Character counts,” he said. “I’ll repeat it again, as teachers often do. Character counts. Your good
22 ST. MARY'S MAGAZINE ANNUAL EDITION 2023
name is your most important possession. Once it’s lost, it’s difficult to win back.”
Also on the stage were William S. Mosakowski, board chair; Brianna Skory, salutatorian; Gabriela Mogavero, valedictorian; Heath Whelan, English teacher, who presented faculty recognition awards to Doherty and Frances White ’69; Senior Dean Michael Jalbert, Principal David J. Angeramo and Assistant Principal James Ridley; Rev. Brian J Flynn, pastor of St. Mary’s parish; and Vivian Iannotti P’25’28’28, a trustee and current parent.
Skory said that one of the most valuable lessons she learned at St. Mary’s was that high school was a time of important self-discovery.
“None of us are the same as we were when we came staggering
in here as freshmen,” she said. “I know my freshman self would have been terrified at the idea of speaking at graduation. I am not that girl anymore.”
Skory said she was afraid to share her thoughts with others and was basically a quiet person who sat in the corner.
“We all have our own stories to share,” she said, “and that’s one of the beautiful components of high school. So tonight, we celebrate cracking that shell and finding out who we are. This is just the beginning.”
Mogavero said that ever since she was in kindergarten, she was told that she could change the world.
“Now,” she said, “that almost seems like a cliché. But I totally believe that we can.”
Of course, she said, much of that depends on how you define “the world.”
“For many people, the world is our community … St. Mary’s was our world for four years, and it was a small world.”
Whatever her classmates chose to do, she said, they had the power to change that part of the world, whether it was medicine, business, entertainment, or something else.
One other thing she said she learned was that “high school is authentic and real. And authenticity trumps superficiality every time.
“We will touch life wherever life takes us,” she said.

STUDENT PROFILE
Anthony D’ltria ’23
Walking into the blue and gold doors of St. Mary’s High School, Anthony D’Itria was amazed at his surroundings. Coming from Immaculate Conception in Revere, it was a world of new opportunity, people, and adventure. He wondered how St. Mary’s would change him and who he would become. He had no idea the mark he would make on St. Mary’s himself.
Anthony D’Itria, both a star athlete and student, is the pinnacle of what St. Mary’s represents. Anthony, a member of the first class of Garrity Scholars and National Honor Society, is also captain of the SMH basketball and cross-country teams.
As he reflects on his time and studies, he states the importance of time management, and how it has been central to his St. Mary’s survival kit. He also realizes the importance of the St. Mary’s community. He remarked how his peers created a competitive but encouraging environment.
He fondly remembers Mr. Lowe’s classroom before an Algebra II test, how students would all join together to study for Mr. Russo’s exams.
Besides the students, Anthony was able to make meaningful connections with each of his St. Mary’s
teachers. His biggest supporters being Ms. Dumitrescu and Mr. Grassa. Mr. Grassa always went out of his way to talk to him on a number of topics, basketball being central to their chats. Anthony also spoke of his yearly classes with Ms. D, and how she taught him the most valuable lessons, some even outside the realms of engineering. Anthony said he always took Ms. D’s classes because they taught him to be innovative and were a welcoming environment.
Off the court and outside the classroom, it is clear that Anthony is a key leader in the St. Mary’s community as he is Vice President of the senior class. He tries to attract all members of the diverse 2023 class, and not just put on events, but create community. Throughout his four years, he has always remained a key role model for younger students and set an example to the next generation of Spartans.
As he embarks onto college and into the next adventure, he takes the lessons and memories with him. He knows he will never be too far from his St. Mary’s family. After all, he is a Spartan, and once a Spartan always a Spartan.

Bobbi Merryman ’28
Legacy Spartan, and valuable member of the St. Mary’s community, Bobbi Merryman ’28 followed her two older brothers’ footsteps to St. Mary’s Middle School.
Bobbi is a new 6th grader but she feels right at home. St. Mary’s campus is a familiar place for Bobbi as she grew up attending St. Mary’s football and basketball games to watch her older brothers play. Now she is here as a student-athlete herself.
A kind yet fierce competitor, Bobbi has cheered for eight and a half years, the majority of her life, and across fourteen different states. Her first time on a cheer mat was at two years old and since that day; she has grown into a stronger and more confident cheerleader. The biggest accomplishments in her cheer career has been winning Grand Champs with her All Star Cheer Gym, Cheerletics, and helping St. Mary’s Cheerleading win the 2022 Catholic Central League Championship title.
Bobbi’s first season of St. Mary’s cheering was far from boring. Alongside her teammates, she cheered at Fenway Park for the Thanksgiving Football Game and at Gillette Stadium for the 2022 State Championship Football Game. St. Mary’s won both games!
More importantly, Bobbi was also cheering for her brothers, senior Omri Merryman ’23 and eighth grader Rowan Merryman ’27, which was extremely important to Bobbi as her family is her world. She appreciates and loves all her mother, father and brothers do for her and
she always speaks highly of them.
Bobbi especially talks highly of her mom, Christy Merryman, whom she spends a lot of time with working on a variety of services to spread goodwill to their community. Bobbi and her mom love to participate in craft fairs, and set up holiday or seasonal parties for their local community. This is her mission, to spread love and happiness to all she can reach.
When Bobbi was asked to define a Spartan, she did not hesitate to say, “A Spartan is an eager student, one that is always ready to learn in any area of life. St. Mary’s teaches you how to be a part of something, to be respectful to those around you and how to stand out from the rest.”
Kindness is an important core value of which this Spartan believes. She remarked how Ms. Hanlon is one of her favorite teachers, that she makes it easy to learn and her kindness matches the rest of St. Mary’s school environment.
Bobbi feels that St. Mary’s has given her the opportunities to learn and grow, and to become a better student and person. The atmosphere of St. Mary’s allows her to thrive and never stop being herself. It is a place where kindness never reaches its limits.
St. Mary’s is the perfect place for Bobbi to put down her roots as she enters her golden Spartan future.

FACULTY PROFILE
Rosemary Matthias
Rosemary Matthias enjoys being at work every day. “I love going into school,” she says. “I love being there, and I just love the kids.”
Mrs. Mathias has been a teacher for 39 years, with all but two of those at Sacred Heart. She has taught most grade levels at the school, even serving a year as assistant principal. She’s now in her fifth year with the second graders—and she couldn’t be happier.
“They’re so innocent, and they are open to everything. If they are really interested in something we’ll stop and talk about it for a while,” Mrs. Matthias says. “And the love you get from the kids—the impromptu hugs—it’s wonderful.”
A lifelong Lynner, Mrs. Matthias is the product of the city’s public school system, but all her children—and most of her grandchildren—have gone through Sacred Heart. “Kids need to be exposed to religious holidays, prayers, saluting the flag, respect. Some of this is missing from the public schools. Sometimes when we’re outside I point to the church and tell the kids, ’Jesus is watching you.’”
Mrs. Matthias has a colorful classroom—and there are pets: a leopard gecko, a praying mantis, goldfish, and crickets. She relishes seeing students suddenly grasp an idea—what she calls “the a-ha moment”—and the look on their faces that says, “I’m good. I know that!”
The children also take pride in working on projects that help others in the community, whether gathering gifts
for needy families or using Zoom to chat with the elderly residents of a nearby nursing home.
Mrs. Matthias is now at the stage of her career where she is teaching children whose parents she taught years ago.
“It’s like meeting new family members,” she says. “Once I’ve taught a child, they will always be one of my family.”
Rachel Dindinger was a pre-K4 student at Sacred Heart more than two decades ago, and Mrs. Matthias was her teacher. Now Ms. Dindinger is the school’s pre-K4 teacher.
“I love how even though it was over 22 years ago she still remembers my personality as a child and stories from the past,” Ms. Dindinger says. “Little things like that show how much she cares for and knows the students she teaches. She always makes her students feel loved.”
As she prepares to celebrate her 70th birthday, Mrs. Matthias still looks forward to each day at school.
“The school is like a family,” she says. “It’s not too big, but just big enough.”
Ms. Dindinger says that her colleague has not lost any of her energy.
“Rosemary is such a hard worker, working the beforeschool and after-school program daily,” says Ms. Dindinger. “She is always in a great mood and a pleasure to work with.”

SWEET 16: SPARTANS EXTEND STATE TITLE STREAK
Everything has to come together to win a state championship: talent, coaching, team chemistry, lack of injuries, luck. In other words, it’s really difficult to do. Which makes what St. Mary’s has done over the last 20 years even more remarkable.
When the Spartans football team beat Stoneham at Gillette Stadium on Dec. 3 to capture the MIAA Div. 6 Super Bowl, it marked the 16th consecutive year that St. Mary’s has won at least one state championship. The Spartans have won 21 state titles since the start of the streak in the 2007–08 school year and 28 championships since 2001.
“It’s something our coaches and student-athletes take pride in,” said Athletic Director Jeff Newhall ’94, who has coached the girls basketball team to four state championships since 2011. “It’s definitely something that everyone here is aware of. It always comes up at the start of the school. What team is going to keep the streak alive?”
Even the COVID-19 pandemic couldn’t interrupt the streak. In the 2020–21 school year, there were no state tournaments in the fall or winter, leaving spring as the only opportunity for a title. The St. Mary’s baseball team, led by Coach Derek Dana ’88, who played on two state championship teams, came through to keep the streak alive.
As the person entrusted with leading the athletic program, Newhall attributes the excellence in the arena to a few key factors.
“Obviously, you need high-quality student-athletes, first and foremost,” he said. “We are fortunate that St. Mary’s offers a top-notch academic program. We are sending our kids on to very good schools, and more than ever they are receiving scholarships. I think that makes us an attractive option for students and families as they are choosing a high school.”
Then there is the family atmosphere that the school has been known for since its inception.
“It’s a special place where people feel like they belong,” Newhall said. “Yes, we have built a culture of winning, but more important than that, we try to ensure that every student, athlete or not, has a positive experience. We think we do that well and it certainly translates to success in athletics.”
During the streak, St. Mary’s has won state championships in eight different sports. Girls basketball and girls hockey have each won four titles, followed by boys basketball, baseball and golf with three apiece. Softball has won two championships, while football and boys hockey have each won one.
You can’t underestimate the role coaching plays and St. Mary’s is fortunate to have a highly capable staff that features alumni in addition to Newhall and Dana, including boys basketball coach David Brown ’89 and boys hockey coach Mark Lee ’80.
“We have a number of alums who coach these teams and are familiar with what St. Mary’s is all about,” Newhall said. “It’s extremely challenging to find good, qualified coaches. We’re fortunate that a lot of them want to come back here and work.”
It is a formula that has led to an unprecedented level of success in Massachusetts high school sports.
“There is no real record book, per se, but I think it’s safe to assume no other school has won at least one state championship 16 years in a row,” Newhall said. “We’re proud to set the standard and we hope to keep it going.”

Philip Garraud ’15
Born in raised in Lynn, MA, Phillip Garraud ’15, began his Catholic School education in preschool, attending Sacred Heart in Lynn through the eighth grade. When considering private high schools, Phillip liked that St. Mary’s was in the city of Lynn and that the “athletics and academics were ranked with the best.” He was fortunate enough to also receive an academic scholarship, The Mosakowski Promise, which was awarded to qualified applicants coming form a parochial school. After shadowing at St. Mary’s for a day, his high school choice was an easy decision.
Garraud states his four years at St. Mary’s were “absolutely great”. He was an active student athlete, participating in fall, winter and spring sports including soccer, cross country, basketball and spring track. Garraud proudly shares that everyone he met through athletics he still keeps in touch with to this day. One memory that stands out for Phillip was freshman year when the boys basketball team won the state championship. He recalled the early dismissal and everyone gathering to take the commuter rail together to go to the Boston Garden, which resulted in the 2013 state championship!
St. Mary’s academics allowed Garraud to meet a lot of great teachers, namely Mr. Jalbert, Mr. Newhall and Mr. Fabiszewski for Physics. Garraud was also part of St. Mary’s iHelp team, which was created when St. Mary’s first transitioned to iPads back in 2014. Garraud came to the school each summer and
Upon graduation, Garraud attended the University of New Hampshire, where he was a walk on member of the Division 1 Boys Basketball team. He explains it as an amazing experience, where Garraud met people from all over the world.
Garraud graduated with a degree in Mathematics. After graduating from UNH and a short stint at Northwestern Mutual as a financial representative, Phillip got a position at the Department of Defense, working for the Air Force as a cost and operations research analyst. He enjoys the job as it is mission based and ties into what going on with our military all over the world.
In addition to his work for the Department of Defense, Garraud continued his passion for sports by creating a business called 2Tuff, which highlights student athletes with custom video reels of their athletic action. His business was a pandemic idea, “Everything was closed, nothing was going on with athletics, so I had the idea when things start getting back into normal, I want to help student athletes with branding as well as name image and likeness, so they can grow their platform.”
Garruad says it is going well with a lot of athletes gaining momentum on their social media accounts. Garraud also worked on St. Mary’s hype video for the Thanksgiving game at Fenway Park.
Phil, who still resides in Lynn, has a full life between his business and career. “St. Mary’s at the time was branded as a college-preparatory school, and it definitely prepared me for college and my future endeavors.”

On Saturday April 2, 2022 the St. Mary’s Class of 1971 celebrated their 50th year reunion! What a fabulous evening it was on campus having these Spartans get together to celebrate a momentous milestone. The evening began with a special memorial Mass dedicated to their late classmates. Afterwards, the evening moved into the St. Mary’s STEM and Gateway Building for dinner, cocktails and music. For some, this was the first time seeing the new St. Mary’s campus. There were fond memories and laughs shared all night. Congratulations Class of ’71 on your Golden Jubilee year!

GREETINGS FROM THE BOARD CHAIR
Dear St. Mary’s Community,
A new calendar year provides a chance for a fresh start. With it occurring in the middle of the academic year, it gives us an opportunity to reflect and look ahead.
We can all be proud of what has been accomplished in the last year, including the successful rebranding of our two sites into one St. Mary’s School. We are gratified for the positive response, which is reflected in an unprecedented increase in enrollment. We look forward to continued growth and are pleased St. Mary’s is such an attractive choice for students and families.
We were thrilled to welcome Cardinal Seán to campus not only to celebrate the opening of school Mass, but also to show him the fountain behind the school that bears his name, as well as the oasis in which it sits.
St. Mary’s students continue to excel. Benefitting from our strong STEM curriculum, our students are being accepted into top-ranking colleges and universities, and look forward to a promising future once they leave St. Mary’s doors.
This is not, however, the time for us to relax our efforts to increase access to more students in and around our city and to improve academic outcomes. Students in the Commonwealth and throughout the nation have suffered great losses in learning and social development over the past three years. We cannot lose this generation of children although our time to make an impact is short.
St. Mary’s provides a safe, nurturing and academically enriching environment together with formative extracurricular experiences which place graduates on the road to success, service and happiness. It is our duty to do more for those who can most benefit from the St. Mary’s experience. Each of us must generously share our talents and resources to achieve these goals. The legacy of St. Mary’s will be determined by the future we offer to others in their time of need–today!
Thank you for your commitment to St. Mary’s.
Sincerely,
William Mosakowski Board Chair
