SPOTLIGHT ON ONE ST. MARY’S Welcome to the 2024 issue of St. Mary’s Magazine. This edition is very special as we celebrate the 2023–24 school year opening as One St. Mary’s!

In September of 2023, St. Mary’s opened its doors for the first time ever as an early education through grade 12 campus all in one location at 35 Tremont Street. This was a historic moment for the school! St. Mary’s has gone through many iterations of students they have served at a time, from elementary through high school, high school only and then middle and high school.

This exciting new model of early education, starting with preschool through high school graduation, allows for a continuous learning pathway that will set the stage for the lifelong success of our students. The newly transformed campus allows our students to learn together, work together, compete together and grow together­­­—all with the common goal of being a Spartan and part of the thriving St. Mary’s community!

Enjoy this issue of St. Mary’s Magazine.

GREETINGS From Head of School Dr. John F. Dolan

Dear St. Mary’s Community, Each year, it is my distinct pleasure to craft a letter to this community that is rich in its members; from alumni, families, students, friends, businesses, foundations and the many more constituents that make up our dynamic base. Since my tenure at St. Mary’s began back in 2018, I remain in constant awe of the unique properties that come together to make St. Mary’s the vibrant learning environment that our students and families rave about, our alumni recall fondly and our benefactors support vigorously.

For the first time ever, St. Mary’s now operates as an early education through high school learning environment. This decision to be One St. Mary’s across name, mission and campus location, was the result of quick action by our administrative team last winter to continue to serve the students in Lynn and beyond who want to pursue a St. Mary’s education. We were thrilled to be able to open successfully in September 2023 as an early education through grade 12 learning institute serving over 900 students and their families.

One visit to our thriving campus to see smiling faces, happy learners, dedicated faculty and satisfied families will endorse the commitment to excellence St. Mary’s has every day to every student enrolled.

On the topic of enrollment, St. Mary’s continues on the upward trajectory of growing enrollment year over year since 2018, which represents a 15% growth overall. Our students are succeeding in the classroom, on the courts and fields, and post-graduation as well.

I am so proud to be Head of School of the ever-changing, ever-growing, ever-strong St. Mary’s and look forward, always forward, to the ever-bright future in the years ahead.

Sincerely,

Dr. John F. Dolan Head of School

JOSEPH’S PLACE Eagle Scout project to honor St. Mary’s veterans What could two St. Mary’s students 62 years apart in age possibly have in common? In the case of Jimmy Moore, Class of 1962, Joseph Goyette, Class of 2024, it was their desire to see military veterans who attended the school properly recognized.

and benches, with help from about a dozen volunteers, in May 2023.

About 20 percent of Moore’s classmates served in the military during the Vietnam War, with three making the ultimate sacrifice. He served in the U.S. Army reserve.

When the class gathered for a 50th reunion in 2012, the veterans were recognized and fondly remembered.

Ann Kelleher ’65, Bukowski’s sister, was thrilled to see all veterans, especially those from the school community, honored this way.

While attending a robotics competition at Reading High School, Goyette noticed a memorial to graduates who had been killed in action in Vietnam. “I started thinking our school should have something like that and I could do it,” he said.

Moore read dedications to classmates who were killed in action in the Vietnam War, including Pfc. Frederick Atkinson, Lt. Rodney Alfano and 2nd Lt. Richard Cotter.

When it came time to take on an Eagle Scout project, as he fulfills requirements to attain the highest rank in Boy Scouts, Goyette decided to create a veterans’ memorial in the new Mosakowski Gardens behind the school. He reached out to Head of School Dr. John F. Dolan, who connected him with Jeff Chelgren, the landscape architect who designed the gardens.

Chelgren shared a software program with Goyette, who took it from there. There is a plaza at each entrance of the space, providing an opportunity for a monument to veterans. In between there is a pathway that was heavily planted with greenery and includes remembrance stones and artwork. As part of the Eagle Scout project, Goyette made the space come alive with mulch, plants 6

ANNUAL EDITION 2024

Goyette’s efforts came to fruition in November as part of the school’s traditional Veterans Day celebration.

More than 20 alumni who are veterans attended the official dedication of Joseph’s Place, named for Joseph Bukowski ’66.

“It’s not just about my brother,” said Kelleher. “It’s about St. Mary’s and all the good that they do.”

St. Mary’s students and alumni rang bells for conflicts St. Mary’s alumni have been a part of, going back as far as the Spanish-American War. “I wanted to leave the space so that it can be expanded for posterity,” said Goyette, who earned his Eagle Scout designation as a member of Boy Scout Troop 83 in Salem.

“It’s important that we honor those who attended our school and what they did for our country.”

ADMIRAL LYNCH VISITS ST. MARY’S Blessing of the Sitting Wall On Friday, December 8, Admiral Tom Lynch visted St. Mary’s for a special occasion. Admiral Lynch was a generous sponsor of the sitting wall behind the Cardinal Seán Fountain contained within The Mosakowski Gardens in the rear of campus. Admiral Lynch visited with his wife, Sandy, to attend Holy Mass celebrated by Msgr. Paul V. Garrity where he addressed the students of St. Mary’s. Following Mass, the St. Mary’s Chorus performed and Msgr. Garrity blessed the sitting wall, which is named for Admiral Lynch and his family. Then, Admiral Lynch had a special meeting with members of our Spartan Football team.

As a former Superintendent of the United States Naval Academy, Admiral Lynch was in town to see the Army versus Navy football game on Saturday, December 9. Head of School Dr. John F. Dolan has known Admiral Lynch since the mid-1990s when Dr. Dolan was asked to consult with the Naval Academy’s admissions operation. Dr. Dolan’s son, Brian, enrolled at the Naval Academy and graduated in 2002, and Dr. Dolan and Admiral Lynch have had a friendship ever since.

Student Profile Giana Ribeiro remembers the moment that her faith became more than a reflection of being raised Catholic—it became her own. She was in eighth grade and accompanied a group that included St. Mary’s students to the annual March for Life in Washington, D.C. In addition to the rally and walk to the Supreme Court, students took part in Mass with Cardinal Seán O’Malley in the morning and eucharistic adoration that night.

During adoration, with Mr. Michael McDuffee singing and playing guitar, Giana felt something that she hadn’t before.

“Wow, this faith is alive,” the Winthrop senior says that she realized. “It’s not just this story I read in my textbooks or the prayers I recite at Mass. Jesus is literally in front of me, and he loves me and wants me to dedicate my life to this.”

The trip to D.C. also helped clarify where Giana would attend high school. She came to St. Mary’s after graduating from East Boston Central Catholic, and her sister Marina transferred as a junior that same year.

“We knew Mr. McDuffee, and we heard from him how campus ministry was here,” Giana says. “That was one of the main things that drew us to St. Mary’s because that was very important for us.”

GIANA RIBEIRO ’24

Coming from a small school, where she had known most of her classmates from kindergarten, Giana says she had to learn how to make friends. She says that St. Mary’s made that easy.

“I got to know so many different people, and it really brought me out of my shell. I was also challenged in many areas, and I had the opportunity to take a leadership role in a lot of things. All the opportunities are there, and I’ve tried to take as many as I can.”

Giana is involved in an array of activities at school, including campus ministry, theater, chorus, quiz bowl, and crew.

“I have a lot of passions that I’ve invested my time into at St. Mary’s,” she says. “That is a way that I put my faith into action because I realize that I can really find God in those things and serve my school and my classmates.”

ST. MARY’S MAGAZINE

ANNUAL EDITION 2024

Two of Giana’s passions, singing and her faith, come together monthly when the school celebrates Mass in St. Mary’s Church. She started singing when she was 4 years old, encouraged by her grandmother, who recognized Giana’s talent. She took lessons for just a couple of years, and she credits Mr. Brandon Mayes, St. Mary’s music teacher, with improving her vocal technique.

“It’s a gift,” she says of her singing ability, “and when I do it, it should be for God. I think we are given talents and passions for a reason and whatever you do, do something you’re passionate about, do it to the best of your ability, and do it to glorify God. That’s the goal.”

To see Giana sing at Mass is to witness someone inspired by and committed to her beliefs, but she also carries those beliefs with her everywhere she goes, and she keeps herself open to understanding more about life and faith. At campus ministry, for example, Giana says that she always takes something from the ideas and experiences of her peers.

“Her welcoming spirit has brought so many students into campus ministry, theater, music, and the school community in general,” he says. “We were blessed to have her with us for these past years and are so excited to see all the amazing things she will do in the future.”

In college, Giana plans to major in music and minor in business, following up with a master’s degree in business. Of course, a school with a strong Catholic community is a requirement.

“The most important things are that I have the opportunity for music and for my faith.”

By Jim Correale

“We were blessed to have her with us for these past years and are so excited to see all the amazing things she will do in the future.”

“I’m always receiving from other people, no matter if it’s someone who came for the first time or someone who has been coming forever. When they share their stories and their experiences in adoration and confession, or when we pray together and read the Bible, their reflections on what we’ve read—I’m surprised every single time.”

Mr. McDuffee, theology teacher and the director of campus ministry at St. Mary’s, says that Giana has had an impact on the school since the moment she arrived.

ATHLETICS Girls Basketball Title Highlights Finish to the 2022–23 Athletic Seasons While the football team had already extended the state championship streak to 16 consecutive years, the girls basketball team maneuvered their way to their third consecutive state championship and fifth in 12 years with a 45–41 win over rival Bishop Fenwick at the Tsongas Center in March 2023.

“It feels amazing,” said senior Yirsy Queliz, who had a team high 18 points and is now the starting point guard at Northeastern. “When we left the Dominican Republic five years ago to start a whole new life I never thought all this would happen. It feels so good.”

Despite struggling to shake the Crusaders for the 13th straight time and 31st time in the last 36 meetings, the ultimate state championship ending seemed like it was inevitable.

“This is not easy. We take everyone’s best shot every night,” said coach Jeff Newhall. “They deserve all the credit in the world. They were able to succeed in what they set out to do.”

St. Mary’s played arguably their best game of the year in the semi-final round where they beat a very good Rockland team. In the end the Spartans finished 25–2, winning the Catholic Central League as well as tournament championships in the Mosakowski Tipoff, Rumble on the Ridge (Davenport, FL), Wilmington Christmas Tournament, and Spartan Classic.

ANNUAL EDITION 2024

The game saw three of the top girls basketball players in school history exit the court for the final time in a St. Mary’s uniform. Queliz (1323), Niya Morgen (1176) and Kellyn Preira (1025) combined for 3524 career points while not losing a postseason game in their high school careers. Preira (Monmouth), Queliz (Northeastern) and Morgen (Bentley) all received full basketball scholarships equating to just under $1,000,000 in education. Junior Reese Matela and 8th grader Bella Owumi (who has 7 Division 1 offers already) rounded out a tremendous starting five for St. Mary’s.

While the girls basketball team was able to win the title three other teams had tremendous finishes of their own. Girls hockey (state finalist), boys basketball (state finalist) and baseball (final four) concluded a 2022–2023 that included two state champions, two state finalists, and five teams advancing to the state final four.

Crew and Flag Football Now Among Sports Offerings at St. Mary’s Lynn Students can now find two of the fastest growing national sports among their options as a student at St. Mary’s with the addition of crew and girls flag football.

“We are always looking to expand the offerings and opportunities for our students,” said Athletic Director Jeff Newhall. “It doesn’t take much time to research and see the increased interest in crew or the explosion of flag football nationwide.”

Under the direction of their tremendous leader, coach Will Goldenheim, the Spartans crew team concluded its second full racing season in 2023. With 42 students participating, they competed in seven races and saw multiple boats win.

GARRITY SCHOLARS ENROLLED St. Mary’s welcomed its fifth class of Garrity Scholars at the start of the 2023–24 school year. This class of Garrity scholars competed against more than 160 applicants who applied for the prestigious award in January 2023. The Garrity scholarship, which was launched in 2018, offers a full tuition scholarship for all four years of high school at St. Mary’s. The scholarship is named in honor of Msgr. Paul V. Garrity, who had a lasting impact on St. Mary’s when he served as pastor of the parish and school for 18 years. Congratulations to this year’s Garrity Scholars.

ANNUAL EDITION 2024

NEW CLASS OF GARRITY SCHOLARS JUSTIN CAVALCANTI “Through this experience, I realized that some people don’t have the same benefits as others, but we must try our best to give them a better chance. Being a leader doesn’t mean you have to be the best at everything or have the answer to every question in school. A leader is someone who is there for other people when they need it and communicate with them to make a difference in their community.”

GLORIA MLONGECHA “Considering the fact that I want to take on a leadership role, I view it as my responsibility to take action for seemingly small things that still matter. As a leader, I am always composed when speaking and listening to others ideas. I make sure to be all ears and give honest and reasonable feedback. As a result, people are more comfortable working with me.”

MARIELLA RIVERA LUCIA CELONA “To the St. Mary’s community, I believe I can be an asset and offer numerous leadership qualities to benefit both the school and individuals. To me, being a leader means to bring forth your best efforts and uplift others around you. It means to not demean others, but to support and help them in their own confidence. These are the qualities I strive to keep developing and demonstrate in the St. Mary’s community.”

CHASE COLLINS “The word TEAM has always meant a group of people that work together, unselfishly working to reach a goal. As I play on many sports teams, hockey and baseball, I have always prided myself on being a dedicated and hardworking piece of the puzzle. As I look back, I lead by demonstrating hard work and encouraging others to do the same.”

“Being a leader takes determination and strength not just physically but mentally.

Overall, with my multiple experiences with being put into leadership roles and gaining more determination over the years, it has made me a stronger and better person. These experiences have caused me to realize that if I push harder today l will have a different tomorrow.”

CHRISTIAN RODRIGUEZ “I try my best to have a positive attitude in school, even when things get hard. This school year a few honor and high-grade level classes have challenged me. However, I’ve done well in managing this new level of workload and understanding material. I strive to be a leader like my sister who graduated St. Mary’s last year and obtained a full scholarship to Emmanuel College. I use this as motivation to reach the same accomplishments of ultimately doing well in school and moving on to higher education.”

JACK DIGNAN “Sometimes, when I reflect on a historical figure like Red Cloud, I think about the leader I want to become. Something I’ve always admired about Red Cloud is that while he wasn’t always vocal, when he did speak, his voice was the most influential in the room. In that respect, I aspire to become a leader like him, whose words are respected and impactful.”

GRACE HAUCH “Being at St. Mary’s made me feel like I had a fresh start with a kinder and more openhearted school environment. I think about how thankful I am for this community and I thank myself for bringing it to my family. I am a leader of the St. Mary’s community because I took it upon myself to research, discover, and attend St. Mary’s, and hopefully grow the community as it is a special family to be in.”

LORENA SILVEIRA “Initiative, effectiveness, authority, guidance, control; these are all synonyms of the word leadership. Yet, the true definition of leadership relies upon your interpretation of it. People tend to believe that demonstrating leadership is all about controlling others, having total power. My interpretation of being a leader is someone who influences, guides, and directs an individual or group to attain their personal optimum.”

AMY TRAN “Being a leader doesn’t have to be significant, or life-changing. It can be as subtle as holding a door for someone, or even making someone’s day. As a leader, you should have compassion for your peers. I have the will to do things for others without expecting anything in return. I want to be a leader people can put their trust in. I want to go where there is no path and leave a trail for others to follow.”

ANGELINA ’29 AND BELLA ’27 OWUMI After St. Mary’s girls basketball program said goodbye to a talented senior class, all eyes turned to Bella Owumi, who had already established herself as a bona fide player. By midseason this year, she was averaging 19 points a game and stepping up as a leader on the team—and a number of colleges had noticed.

What makes all of this remarkable is that Bella, who has already been part of two state championship teams, is only in ninth grade.

“This year was a big change for me since I have to be one of the leaders on the floor at all times,” the 15-year-old says. “I just have to keep humble and stay within myself.”

“When I came in everyone was so welcoming. They knew I was young and a little scared... We always stay together as a family. That’s important outside the court.”

ANNUAL EDITION 2024

Meanwhile, younger sister Angelina, 13, has been holding her own on the basketball court, splitting her time between the middle school, freshman, and JV teams. The seventh-grader is also part of the Spartan soccer program. Still, having a sibling who was a league all-star before entering high school can be tough.

“People tell me, ‘You’re like Bella. Drop 40 points!’”

Angelina says.

The girls say that it was St. Mary’s reputation in both academics and athletics that attracted them to the school. Once here, they had little difficulty making friends. They found that the majority of students mix together easily.

“I think we bring our differences and similarities together into one big group,” Bella says, “and I think that’s important.”

Angelina was hoping that the two friends who came with her to St. Mary’s from a public middle school were in her classes. They weren’t, so she was a bit nervous when she began at her new school.

“But then I met a lot of people here in sixth-grade year,” she says, “and we’re really close now.”

Bella felt comfortable at St. Mary’s from the time she first arrived.

“When I came in everyone was so welcoming. They knew I was young and a little scared,” she says. Since then, all the girls on the basketball team have developed a bond. “We always stay together as a family. That’s important outside the court.”

Jeff Newhall, the girls basketball coach and the school’s athletic director, says that the national attention Bella has received is unprecedented for a St. Mary’s student.

“Bella has certainly performed unbelievably well the last two years as a middle school student,” Newhall says.

“As great as she is in basketball, her focus on leadership,

academics, and being a good person make her truly special.”

Though she is just a freshman, Bella is conscious of being supportive of younger players, which this year includes a seventh-grader.

“She’s in the same shoes that I was, and she has the same thoughts that I did,” Bella says.

“I’m trying to be there for her because I remember how I was intimidated. I want everyone to feel like a big family.”

Both sisters say that the teachers at St. Mary’s are understanding about the time crunch that many studentathletes have to navigate in order to keep up with their studies.

“They’re flexible, and it’s really important to me to have teachers like that,” Bella says.

The athleticism of the Owumi girls shouldn’t be surprising: both parents were Division 1 athletes in college—mom, Rebecca, played softball and dad, Johnson, played football. Now, colleges have expressed an interest in their oldest child. Bella has received verbal offers from a number of schools, including Northeastern, Boston College, and Harvard.

Despite the college interest, media attention, opponents keying on her, and Spartan fans expecting her to make the big plays, Bella doesn’t seem bothered by the spotlight.

“I don’t think it’s that much pressure,” she says. “I just need to keep the same mindset, and I am going to be successful.”

And then

From the time St. Mary’s and Sacred Heart schools merged operations in 2019, there was a plan to eventually create a K–12 school at the Tremont Street location: One St. Mary’s.

THERE WAS ONE “I was thinking about how the experience would be for our older kids, but it has gone extremely well. The younger ones are separated but they do see the older kids at some points and they seem almost fascinated with each other.”

Associate Head of School David Angeramo said the one campus was called for in the ASCEND 2026 strategic plan, so it was just a matter of accelerating the process.

The timeline was advanced last year when the decision was made to consolidate the two schools starting with the 2023–24 school year. That required an extensive amount of planning and repurposing of space at Tremont Street in order to be ready to welcome about 150 students in grades K–5.

Mission accomplished.

Thanks to a spirit of collaboration and buy in among administration, staff, students and families, the St. Mary’s K–12 experiment has earned a grade of “A” in year one.

Jackie Foley, assistant principal for the middle school said, 20 ST. MARY’S MAGAZINE

ANNUAL EDITION 2024

“It happened quicker than we thought, but it’s going very well,” he said. “The students are excited, the parents are excited and the teachers are excited. Across the board, it has been a success.”

“We always had the vision of one campus,” said Head of School Dr. John F. Dolan. “As we started to design it we felt better and better about it. Now seeing the results, we are thrilled.”

Angeramo said it was a priority to maintain a typical high school experience for the grade 9–12 division.

“We wanted to make sure we preserved the experience of our older students,” he said. “We have 16–18-year-olds in the same school

as 5–7-year-olds. The way it has worked out, they are still having a solid high school experience. That has not been compromised.”

While the kindergarten and elementary students are in different area from grades 6–12, and the younger students sport light blue polo shirts as opposed to the navy worn by the upper grades, there is some purposeful crossover, both in school-wide events and academic opportunities.

For example, no one knew what to expect at the first all-school Mass at the beginning of the school year.

“The little ones were so well behaved,” Foley said. “I think they are used to being quiet in church.”

Curriculum-wise, high school students who may be interested in teaching can take an elective class for credit in which they serve as an aide in an elementary class.

“There are a lot of positives when the older kids can be role models for the younger ones,” Angeramo said.

With everyone on the same campus, the school is able to more easily achieve vertical articulation of the curriculum, Angeramo said, giving as an example having grade 5 and grade 6 teachers working collaboratively to align curriculum for the middle school.

Assistant Principal Justina Gaeta, who oversees the PK–5 division, said the transition has been so seamless, it doesn’t feel like they are only months into the new arrangement.

“The transition has been a lot smoother than we anticipated,” she said. “The issues we were concerned about—traffic flow, keeping the younger kids separated—have organically worked out according to the plans that were in place.”

And while that separation of divisions has been a priority, Gaeta said there has been more opportunities for integration than expected, which has been a positive development. Those

include the student-teacher high school students serving as Mass buddies and National Honor Society members helping with the after-school program.

“It’s been a great year and we have room to grow,” Gaeta said.

St. Mary’s will add a pre-K–4 class next year, while consolidating the kindergarten into one classroom.

The projected total enrollment for the school remains at 900, with 150 in the elementary division, 200 in middle school and 550 at the high school.

“In an era where many Catholic schools are struggling to meet enrollment goals, we feel very good about what we have accomplished and our vitality going forward,” Dolan said. “But it is critical that we continue to look forward with a clear vision for the future of our school.”

The Connell family, which has a long legacy of supporting St. Mary’s started by its late patriarch, was honored with the Cardinal Cushing Award October 4, 2023 in a reception at the Peabody Essex Museum.

The Cushing Award is presented to vigorous champions of Catholic education whose personal and professional lives mirror St. Mary’s mission.

$2 MILLION RAISED AT RECORD SETTING

CUSHING SOCIETY EVENT

Also at the Cushing Society Reception, Peter Lynch was presented the William F. Connell ’55 Service Award, given to an individual who provides consistent and exemplary service.

After the presentation of the awards, St. Mary’s Head of School Dr. John F. Dolan announced two major gifts—$1 million from the Connell family and $500,000 from Thomas and Marill Demakes— resulting in the $2 million raised making the 2023 Cushing Society Celebration the single biggest fundraising event in the 142-year history of the school.

“We are so blessed to benefit from the long-standing and amazing generosity of people like the Connells, Peter Lynch, and Tom and Marill Demakes,” Dolan said.

“We are achieving great things at St. Mary’s thanks to them and all those who support our mission.”

The Cushing Society Celebration included singing by the St. Mary’s Choir; Tim Connell performing “The Story of My Dad,” a song he wrote as a tribute to his father; remarks by senior Cierra Johnson, who spoke about how well St. Mary’s prepares students for college; and video presentations highlighting the honorees.

“I really believe Bill is our guardian angel,” Dolan said.

“And I don’t know of anybody who has impacted Catholic education more than Peter Lynch.”

Mentioned more than once during the program were the three tenets by which Bill Connell lived: “Go to Mass.

Do your best. Be a good person.”

Board Chair William Mosakowski said events such as the Cushing Society Celebration allow the school to “give access to kids who wouldn’t otherwise be receiving the tremendous education they are receiving at St. Mary’s.”

William F. Connell, St. Mary’s Class of 1955, gave St. Mary’s $1 million in 1989 when the school was in danger of closing. He bequeathed a $5 million gift, one of the most transformational moments in the school’s history and the foundation

for the Ours is to Build campaign that resulted in the construction of the Connell Center. While becoming one of the most successful businessmen in the country, he was always true to his West Lynn and St. Mary’s roots.

After Connell passed away in 2001, it was up to his wife, Margot Connell, and their six children to carry on his philanthropic work. The Connells have remained loyal and generous supporters of St. Mary’s, investing not only financially but also with their time.

A member of the advisory board of Connell Limited Partnership, Margot Connell has been a long-time advocate and supporter of education and health-care causes. She was the principal benefactor of the Margot Connell Recreation Center at Boston College, where the School of Nursing is named for Bill Connell, a 1959 graduate.

She received an honorary degree from BC in 2009.

They have four children. Courtenay Connell, who studied at the Boston School of Design, lives in New York. William Connell Jr., a graduate of Harvard Business School, is partner at High Road Capital Partners in New York. He lives in Greenwich, Connecticut with his two children.

Terence Connell, also an HBS graduate, is managing director at Connell Limited Partnership. He lives in Boston with his wife, Veronica, and their two children. Timothy Connell graduated from Boston College Law School and studied at Berklee College of Music. He and his wife, Mary Claire, live in Illinois with their two children.

Lynch has been the driving force behind the Catholic Schools Foundation since its inception. For more than three decades, the foundation has helped families in need send their children to Catholic schools by providing scholarships. In addition to donating more than $10 million himself, Lynch has helped the CSF raise more than $115 million for 90,000 students.

The School of Education at Boston College is named for Lynch and his late wife, Carolyn. The Lynches also helped fund the Urban Catholic Teachers Corps, which has trained more than 170 Catholic school teachers in the Boston area through a two-year program that includes practicum training and a graduate degree from the Lynch School of Education. Support from the Lynch Foundation has allowed St. Mary’s to provide scholarships targeted to Latino students, resulting in the percentage of Latino students increasing from 4 to 23.

Class of 2023

GRADUATION Friends, family, and members of St. Mary’s High School’s faculty and staff gathered on May 25, 2023 to celebrate the class of 2023, consisting of 119 graduates.

To begin the evening, Rev. Brian L. Flynn gave an invocation before Head of School Dr. John F. Dolan gave his welcoming remarks.

Aniya Myette ’23, performed her rendition of “The Star Spangled Banner."

Former Lynn Fire Chief Stephen Archer, who retired this past December, was awarded an honorary diploma by St. Mary’s Director of Campus Operations and Athletics Jeff Newhall. Archer, who became Lynn’s first Black fire chief in 2018, presented a few words of advice to the graduating class. “Do all that you can to protect the investment that has been made in you,” said Archer. “In other words, take care to avoid all the pitfalls in life that can undermine the time and effort that others have invested in you.”

Valedictorian Tara Powers addressed her fellow graduates before the presentation of diplomas. In her speech, she said that the lasting memories and lessons learned at St. Mary’s will help each graduate thrive in the future.

“Do not take your experiences and memories for granted, but instead, look closer, and see what your time at St. Mary’s has done for you,” said Powers. “With that, I have no doubt the class of 2023 is ready to take on all the world has to offer and I wish you all the best in your future endeavors. Go Spartans.”

Salutatorian Zackary Perry also addressed the graduating class, “We had a rough introduction to our high school experience, however, we pushed through the turmoil,” he said. “Not only with a surplus of accomplishments for all of us to be proud of, but also with a deeper bond that binds us together like one.”

Also speaking at the event were Parent Advisory Council Co-Chairs David and Heidi Guarino.

Claire White ’73, accepted the jubilarian pin to celebrate the class of 1973’s 50th reunion year.

Of the 119 graduates, 40 were given the National Honor Society distinction.

Msgr. Paul Garrity gave the graduation address before the presentation of diplomas, which was immediately followed by a prayer led by Rev. Flynn to conclude the ceremony.

Faculty Profile When St. Mary’s was looking for new opportunities to advance student learning, in stepped Julie Jensen, an experienced educator and advanced academic coach.

Jensen was hired as director of St. Mary’s Center for Academic Excellence, which opened in the fall of 2020.

“When I found out about it, I put my resume in, and the rest is history,” said Jensen.

The idea for the center was formed during the pandemic, in an effort to help students who may have fallen behind during remote learning. But its popularity has only continued to grow.

“St. Mary’s recognized the need to build support into the student experience,” said Jensen, who had previously worked at Endicott College for more than 10 years, primarily within the college’s Division of Academic Success. She started out there as a professional writing tutor and then served as an academic coach, customizing academic strategies for students to meet their personalized learning goals, and coaching them to successfully navigate their college experience and graduate. Some of the work included mentoring students to find a balance between academics, emotional considerations, extracurricular activities and social activities. During her last year at Endicott, she served as an adjunct professor of English.

JULIE JENSEN

“Having come from that, I’ve been able to model some of the goals for the college experience down to the high school level,” she said. “It really was great training.”

Some of the biggest things, she said, are for students to develop self-awareness and confidence, create work plans and study schedules, manage calendars and todo lists and develop test-taking strategies.

“We look at any student who might be struggling or having that wobble, and not living up to their full potential,” she said. “Teachers can put in a referral or parents and students can self-advocate for a spot. It’s also an opportunity for students who might not be struggling, but want to level up and elevate their academics.”

The center offers five classes per day, with 12–15 students per class. There is also an after-school program, during which National Honor Society students volunteer as tutors.

“The day-to-day interactions with students are priceless,” Jensen said. “I’m so thrilled to share in their successes and see them become self-motivated to do well in school.”

Last year, there were almost 1,600 student visits to the center.

Participants’ average grades jumped 7.5 points—often the difference between a C and a B or a B and an A. “They’re coming out more confident,” said Jensen. “They know how to prepare and study, and that’s magic. We always have our eye on the horizon and we want them looking forward.”

Jensen was inspired to go into education by her father, who taught in Connecticut and New York and was a principal in Manchester, Connecticut.

“Even as a little kid, I was awestruck when he would talk about his day,” said Jensen. “I was always so impressed by the impact he had on his students’ lives. I was enamored by the idea of

JAYLEN LEROY Not that long ago, Jaylen LeRoy was a high school student himself, gearing up for college and a basketball career that would take him across the globe. Today, he is bringing his insight and direction to the students at St. Mary’s.

“I’m young enough to understand their perspectives, but old enough to provide guidance,” said LeRoy, who was hired at the start of the school year as a teacher in the Center for Academic Excellence.

“As the numbers grew, we wanted that one-on-one time to continue,” said the center’s director, Julie Jensen, explaining the decision to add an additional staff member.

“I’ve always worked well with kids, and I wanted to be in a position to inspire, motivate and lead,” LeRoy said.

LeRoy grew up in Manchester, New Hampshire and earned a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Plymouth State University. A 2020 graduate, he was a two-time basketball captain and three-time All-Conference honoree. He ended his career fourth among the program’s all-time leading scorers with 1,811 points. He went on to play professionally for FIBA, the International Basketball Federation, becoming a dominant player for Zambia’s team, Matero Magic.

When LeRoy returned to the U.S., he started out substitute teaching in Lynn Public Schools. He taught algebra classes at Lynn Classical High School for one year before joining the staff at St. Mary’s.

“I instantly thought this would be for me—having conversations with students on a daily basis and helping and encouraging them,” said LeRoy. “We’re promoting healthy study habits and seeing the steady progression is as rewarding as it gets.”

KRISTIN MOCCIA GAUTHIER ’11 As Audrey Hepburn famously pointed out, everyone has two hands—one to help yourself, the second to help others.

St. Mary’s alumna Kristin Moccia Gauthier ’11 has no problem putting that second hand to work.

An experienced public health professional, Gauthier has dedicated her career to helping the underserved populations—those experiencing homelessness, substance use addiction, mental health disorders and related challenges.

In her current role, she serves as the Ending the HIV Epidemic (EHE) Program Manager at New England AIDS Education and Training Center. The organization provides HIV/AIDS education, consultation, technical assistance, and resource materials to health care professionals.

Gauthier got her start in the field as an intern at AIDS Action, a community-based health organization that is part of Fenway Health and is New England’s largest provider of services to people living with HIV/AIDS and populations at risk of infection. She then interned at the Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program (BHCHP). With more than 30 clinic sites in shelters and hospitals, as well as on-the-street care, the program aims to ensure equitable and dignified access to the highest quality health care for all individuals and families experiencing homelessness in the Greater Boston community.

When Gauthier graduated from Simmons University with a degree in public health, she continued to work for BHCHP through AmeriCorps. She was placed on the HIV Team, providing health education to patients, particularly on quitting smoking and nutrition/weight management, and providing case management services to those identified as needing extra nursing intervention. She was then hired as a medical case manager on the HIV Team, where she worked for another 3 and a half years, assessing new HIV patients 32 ST. MARY’S MAGAZINE

She visited shelters and other outreach sites regularly to connect with patients who were HIV infected and not yet in care or had fallen out of care.

“Working in homeless health care is full of challenges, but it’s so deeply rewarding,” said Gauthier. “And I’ve worked with some really wonderful people, who are also mission-driven. I think to go into this work, you have to have an internal desire to want to help.”

Before joining the New England AIDS Education and Training Center in 2021, Gauthier also worked as a nursing assistant at Beverly Hospital and as a case manager and volunteer coordinator at the Lynn Shelter Association.

A Lynn native, Gauthier attended Our Lady of the Assumption School before enrolling at St. Mary’s for high school.

“There were so many opportunities to pursue service,” said Gauthier. “I think the mentality of ‘do unto others’ really had an impact on me.”

Gauthier earned the Simmons Mosakowski Scholarship, funded by Bill and Jane Mosakowski, and also earned a spot on Simmons’ soccer team. She had originally considered a career in communications or nursing.

“Then I took one public health elective my freshman year and just loved it,” she said. She also graduated with a minor in sociology.

While at Simmons, Gauthier volunteered at Boston Children’s Hospital and led a team of Simmons students for AIDS Walk Boston. She studied abroad in Cape Town, South Africa and volunteered at the Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital. Working with the Friends of the Children’s Hospital Association, which provides social, psychological and material support to the young patients and their parents, Gauthier helped to coordinate toy and clothing donations, as well as bedside reading and activities during children’s hospital stays.

Gauthier is a Certified Nursing Assistant and completed her Comprehensive Outreach Education Certificate and Certificate in Social Impact Management and Leadership. She recently earned the latter through the Institute for Nonprofit Practice and Tufts University’s Jonathan M. Tisch College of Civic Life. “The opportunities to rethink and redefine leadership strategy amongst a cohort of mission-driven non-profit leaders in Boston and beyond has been invaluable,” she said.

Gauthier and her husband, Tyler, live in Beverly. She serves as an advocate for the Alzheimer’s Association and ran the Chicago Marathon to raise funds for the organization. She also started her own photography business, June and Louise, which is named after her two grandmothers. “I first picked up a camera before high school and have always felt happy with one in hand,” she said. “I love capturing those moments of inspiration, joy and love.”

One of Rutkowski’s favorite projects has been a revival of a scene from the 1993 film Hocus Pocus. Each October since 2021, he has worked to transform PEM’s historic Ropes Mansion similar to how it was decorated three decades ago on screen.

In the movie, it was the site of character Alisson Watts’ house, where a Halloween party was being held.

“I’m pretty proud of that,” he said.

“Everyone’s expecting it now. Some people travel halfway across the country to see it. It’s wild.”

As a side project, Rutkowski has also served as the technical director of the Greater Salem Ballet Company’s annual performance of The Nutcracker at Lynn Memorial Auditorium— and has stepped on stage himself as Clara’s father.

The son of Polish immigrants, Rutkowski grew up in West Lynn.

His parents were among thousands of displaced persons following World War II, and they were drawn to the former St. Michael

“This work lets me express myself in a way that I would never have imagined.”

the Archangel Parish in Lynn, which was established to serve Polish immigrants in the area and eventually closed in 2006. The decision for Rutkowski to attend St. Mary’s for high school was a natural one.

“I loved the religious side when I was there, because religion was very important to me,” he said. “It was also a family-type education where everyone knew everyone. It was a great experience.”

Rutkowski’s mother, Halina, worked as an assembler at GE and was able to secure tuition assistance through the company for her son to attend Northeastern University and study electrical engineering. Rutkowski earned his electrician license and worked for 15 years as an alarm systems integrator at Essex Alarm and Security. He branched out on his own to open McQueeny Electric, which he operated for six years before accepting the position at PEM. He specializes in equipping historic buildings and museums with electrical systems, security systems, fire alarms, closed-circuit television, and access control.

Rutkowski’s passion for the past doesn’t stop at historic properties. He is a member of the Danversbased Alarm List Company, a volunteer group of 18th-century living history reenactors. They present demonstrations, exhibits, parades, battle reenactments and living history encampments. The group also owns and operates the Rebecca Nurse Homestead, a historic home in Danvers that now serves as a museum. Rutkowski has served as its facilities director for more than 34 years.

Rutkowski is also a member of the End Zone Militia, joining other reenactors to cheer on the New England Patriots and the New England Revolution during home games at Gillette Stadium.

A Salem resident, Rutkowski and his wife, Patricia, will celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary this year. They met as teens at the former All-Star Lanes in Lynn, bonding over a shared interest in bowling.

The couple has three children, Kathryn, Jennifer and Jonathan. Kathryn reenacts with Rutkowski and works as the visitor services manager at Essex National Heritage Commission. Jennifer studied early childhood education and is a mother and professional nanny. Jonathan attends Merrimack College and is studying theater and lighting, potentially following in his father’s footsteps.

GREETINGS FROM THE BOARD CHAIR

Dear St. Mary’s Community, I am pleased to share information on recent action the board has taken up as we look towards the future St. Mary’s. At our last board meeting we discussed and ratified the need to preserve our senior leadership for the next four years. I am pleased to announce to the entire St. Mary’s community we have renewed Dr. John F. Dolan’s contract as Head of School. Dr. Dolan has demonstrated decisive leadership during an unprecedented period in not only our school’s history but all in that of our nation. His steady leadership throughout the COVID pandemic limited any adverse impact on the student experience and positioned us well going forward. In addition, the school has engaged in efforts to pursue strategies to ensure St. Mary’s long-term sustainability without compromising our commitment to our mission as the school of choice in the City of Lynn and in the region.

Dr. Dolan, along with the St. Mary’s leadership team, has championed several strategic initiatives for the future of the school. These include: • Promoting access and affordability to all families who want to pursue a St. Mary’s education; • Increasing student enrollment and improving academic success; • Advancing a fundraising plan to develop permanent sources of revenue to invest in St. Mary’s mission; and • Closing the gap to attain institution financial sustainability on an ongoing operating basis.

This year also marked a historic time for St. Mary’s as the school now operates as a fullyintegrated PK–12 program, which has been a key goal of the St. Mary’s Board of Trustees since 2018. This educational model ensures access to a learning continuum beginning in the most formative years through early adulthood, and that our graduates leave St. Mary’s prepared for their life’s journey ahead.

Dr. Dolan has successfully delivered on many of the board’s key goals during his first tour of duty. There is much left to do to secure this school in this city for the students who will thrive and forever recall the life-changing impact experienced while here. We remain grateful to all of those in our community, near and far, who remain steadfast in their endorsement of St. Mary’s through the giving of your time, talent and treasure and we thank you for your continued support in the years to come.

Sincerely,

William Mosakowski Board Chair

ANNUAL REPORT OF GIVING July 1, 2022–June 30, 2023

Dear St. Mary’s Community, Each year St. Mary’s is blessed by the contributions of our many benefactors, from alumni, parents, grandparents, friends, businesses, charitable organizations and more. These gifts help St. Mary’s on our mission to educate students in a joyful and diverse setting.

The 2022–23 fiscal year annual report is another stellar example of the power of giving! Overall donations are up 11% and our annual fund goal of $2.5 million was surpassed once again as we raised $5.2 million, far exceeding our targeted goal and a strong increase over annual funds raised in fiscal year 2022.

Funds given by St. Mary’s donors are put to use in many ways. Students receive scholarships, both needbased and merit, which makes St. Mary’s an accessible and affordable option for those who otherwise may not be able to do so. Students and faculty benefit through improved resources, training and other programmatic enhancements that continue to accelerate the academic offerings that make a St. Mary’s education stand out.

One major highlight from fiscal year 2023 is the decision to consolidate the Tremont Street location to a K–12 campus, which resulted in overall campus improvements that include the renovation of The Gustafson Family Science Center to the Elementary Division and a transformation of conference room space in the Cardinal Cushing Center into the Early Education Division.

These initiatives simply could not be done to the fullest extent of their potential without the unwavering support of our faithful donors!

The philanthropic gifts given by so many creates opportunity for continued growth of St. Mary’s while also creating an altruistic foundation that families can trust and rely on to provide their students the best Catholic, STEM-based, college-preparatory education on the north shore and beyond!

Please enjoy the following fiscal year 2023 annual report. We remain eternally grateful to all who gave in fiscal year 2023, have given this current fiscal year, and for your continued support in the future!

Sincerely,

Jamie Gigliotti Executive Director of External Affairs

St. Mary’s supporters may elect to fund a specific effort which advances the mission of the school. Thanks to Tom and Marill Demakes who support St. Mary’s Crew team, new shells were purchased, aptly named for Peachy and Tim Demakes. A special thanks to Rev. Fr. Alex Orphanos from St. George Greek Orthodox Church in Lynn for blessing the shells before their inaugural voyage last spring.
