Molloy Hosts Panel Highlighting Religious / Marist Vocations
The 23rd Chapter of the Marist Institute issued five calls for Marists to follow to be “Builders of a New Hermitage.” The five calls to be viewed through the lens of Marist life are Culture of Vocations, Living Spirituality, Communion, Servant Leadership, and Good News. In response to the Marist call of Vocations, Molloy held its very first Vocation Panel!

Nicholas Colalella, Fr. Christopher Bethge, Mr. Joe Smallwood ‘11, Mrs. Victoria Smallwood ‘11, Br. Bjorn Lie FMSI, Br. James Norton ‘63 FMSI, Dcn. John Kramer, and Mr. James Sheldon ‘88 to speak to students about their different vocations. The panel specifically presented the word “vocation” as a calling for all of us to find the path that best responds to God’s call.
Virtual Enterprise: Seniors Present at NYC Student Leadership Conference
Molloy’s Virtual Enterprise (VE) executive team recently participated in the 2026 NYC Student Leadership Conference at Long Island University Brooklyn, where they engaged in leadership workshops and team challenges alongside students from other schools.
The conference also provided opportunities for students to connect with distinguished professionals, including LIU School of Business Dean Ray Pullaro and Julian Clauss-Ehlers, former executive chef of Monkey Bar.
One of the day’s highlights was the success of Liam Costello ‘27, CEO of Molloy’s VE team, whose group won the CEO/Leadership Challenge focused on “Leading Through Disagreement.” Following their victory, Liam and his teammates presented their findings on the main stage before an audience of students, business professionals, and faculty members.
Mr. Joe Beaudet, Molloy’s VE teacher, shares, “The day gave our students a valuable opportunity to practice collaboration, problem-solving, public speaking, and networking in a professional setting. They represented Molloy with confidence and professionalism, and I was proud to see them make the most of the experience.”
Parents Guild Hosts Reception for Freshman Parents/Guardians
On October 22nd, Molloy’s Parents Guild hosted a special welcome event for parents and guardians of the Class of 2030! The reception also welcomed parents and guardians of recent transfer students. The evening gave families new to the Molloy community an opportunity to connect with one another, meet members and volunteers of the Guild, and enjoy a fun and relaxing night together. The event included a trivia contest and a 50/50 raffle, with Molloy merchandise being given out as prizes!

Good Luck, Giovanni II!
Molloy is excited to send Giovanni II off to officially start his professional training! For over a year, Giovanni has been working with math teacher Mr. AJ Power ’84 on his socialization in preparation for his matriculation into service dog training. After this training, Giovanni will hopefully be matched with someone in need of his support! While all of us at Molloy will miss having Giovanni around, we are incredibly proud and excited to know that he will be helping someone in need, just like a true Marist! A big shout out to Mr. Power for leading his training and Canine Companions for Independence for their work with service animals!

His finish time was 7:10:51. “I was thrilled to run the NYC Marathon again,” said Nelson. “It was such a thrilling experience. I experienced serious cramps and a medical emergency due to decreasing blood sugar levels. However, everyone believed in me, and I believed in myself to come back strong and finish the race. I was doubting myself if I was able to run/walk the final three miles of the Marathon, but when I was back on the road, I was able to be tough and take every mile one-by-one until the end.” |
We look forward to receiving more marathon results updates from our community!
