Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day

On Monday, January 17th, we honor the life, impact, and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a profoundly inspirational leader and activist in the American civil rights movement. During Molloy’s homeroom announcements on Friday, January 14th, Principal Penikas spoke about Dr. King’s legacy of courage, compassion, love, and tireless pursuit of justice, while encouraging Stanners to think about what they can do to embody this legacy. The morning broadcast concluded with a tribute video dedicated to Dr. King, which featured excerpts from his “I Have A Dream” speech, delivered on August 28, 1963, during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.

Marist World Celebrates Foundation Day

On January 2nd, the Marist World celebrated Foundation Day, marking the founding of the Marist Brothers on January 2, 1817. To understand the significance of this date, it is helpful to get a view into Marcellin’s thinking, planning, and acting from the time he arrived in LaValla on August 13, 1816, to the beginning of the first Marist community on January 2, 1817. The Marist Brothers have provided an overview of the people and events that gave shape to the Marist legacy we have inherited.

Campus Ministry Fulfills Clothing Drive

Before Christmas break, students were scheduled to participate in a Breakfast Run, serving breakfast at and delivering clothing donations to a New York City shelter. Unfortunately, those plans were postponed at the last minute. On January 12th, Catholic Charities visited Molloy (pictured above) to pick up the clothing items that were collected by the Molloy community, including new men’s socks and underwear, gloves, hats, scarves, and other items. These donations will be distributed to people in need on Molloy’s behalf. The Breakfast Run will be rescheduled for later this year.

In addition, students worked with Campus Ministry to make New Year’s / Thank You Cards (pictured right) to be sent to all the Marist Brothers in the United States. “We are seeking simple ways to make a difference in the world,” said Ms. Lori Wilson, Director of Campus Ministry.

 

 

Sophomores Create Relief Sculptures

In January, sophomores in Ms. Christine Tudor’s art class created three-layered relief sculptures. Designs were all original and many were inspired by landscapes or pop culture. As part of this project, students learned about Lorenzo Ghiberti’s relief bronze sculptural doors on the Baptistery of San Giovanni in Florence, Italy, as well as the difference between low and high relief sculptures. They found or created an image and drew it on a cardboard backing, then built the image up with three layers of cardboard shapes – background, middle ground, and foreground. The sculptures were then painted in acrylic paint. The gallery above represents just some of the creative results from our students!

 

Please pray for Br. Philip Robert, FMS, who is on hospice care at Champagnat Hall. Br. Philip taught at Molloy from 1957-1966.

Please pray for Glenn Gray ’65, who is dealing with an illness. Glenn is in need of a kidney transplant.
