Br. Pat Reflects on Sept 11th

This is a photo of the memorial at Breezy Point, which looks directly toward the World Trade Center. This day brings with it many emotions, conflicting for sure. As was the case with the death of JFK, I remember exactly where I was when the first plane hit, and I vividly remember seeing the second plane hit and knowing that this was no accident. On September 12th, Jim Sheldon and I went by police boat, with our EMT bags, to lower Manhattan and Chelsea Piers. No one spoke during the trip. The pilot of our police boat slowed down and brought us close to shore. I was overwhelmed by the magnitude of what I saw and the acrid smell that filled the air. We were assembled in a gym and put into groups, but we were told that we would most likely never be called. It was that bad.

As I sat on the floor I wondered if the world would learn. I had hope that we would, but we haven’t. Peace on Earth starts with each of us, not the other guy. How often we have heard and sung those words. What has changed? In our families, at work, and even with our friends sometimes we harbor petty hurts and jealousies, and these eat away at us without us even knowing it.

We are Christians called to be Christ-like. What does that mean? How can I be like Christ? He was God. I can’t be like him. YES YOU CAN…. The Glory of God is seen in humanity (us) fully alive. We saw the glory of God that day in the positive actions of others; people held the door for one another, went to the ER to help, went to the Red Cross to give blood, and a little old lady came up to Jim and I and gave us sandwiches she made. It was obvious to us that she had very little, but she did her part.

We are all called to be the best we can be. That takes work. It takes a lifetime. I need to be more patient. I need to be less judgmental. I need to be less resentful. I need to reach out to the person who drives me up the wall. I need to watch what I say. I need to work more for justice for all. I need to waste less. I need to try to make this world a better place.

Ask yourself this: “What do I need to do?”

— Br. Pat Hogan, FMS
Alumni Spiritual Director

School is Back in Session!

Last week, faculty and students returned to Molloy to begin the 2019-20 academic year. Faculty and staff returned on September 3rd for orientation and department meetings, while each grade returned for their own orientations through the rest of the week. On Wednesday, September 4th, Molloy welcomed sophomore as well as the freshman Class of 2023. The freshmen enjoyed their first day of high school, which included meeting their teachers, testing out their new locker combinations, and picking up just a few workbooks and literature books (most textbooks will be on their iPads). Freshmen were also sporting new uniforms designed by Tommy Hilfiger, which we will share more about in The Beehive soon. Molloy welcomed juniors and seniors back to school on September 5th. We’re looking forward to a great year and a great first month, which will include class liturgies, club signups, and of course, Freshman Field Day!

St. Marcellin Champagnat Society Lends A Hand

On August 29th, Molloy’s St. Marcellin Champagnat Society volunteered at The Ronald McDonald House New York, which provides temporary housing for pediatric cancer patients and their families. Students cooked brunch and dinner for the present families in what was a full-day effort. “The staff at RMHNY were thrilled by our visit and asked us to come back any time,” said Mr. Brian Klimas ’98, one of our dedicated SMCS moderators. Great job, Stanners! (Photos courtesy of SMCS)

College Guidance Workshop A Success

The second annual Summer College Workshop was a big success. 58 students participated in the week-long workshop, where they organized their college lists, finished much of the Common Application, learned vital information about the financial aid process, and left with some semblance of a rough draft of their Common App Essay. “For me, it was really great to see students so motivated to tackle the college process and I could not have asked for a better group,” said college guidance counselor Mr. Gus Esgro. “Seeing students give up a portion of their summer for this endeavor is a testament to the type of young people we have here at Molloy, and it makes me proud to be a member of the faculty here. Now that the program is over, I look forward to taking their feedback and working to improve the program for next summer.”

Follow Molloy on Social Media

As Molloy begins a new and exciting school year, we would like to invite our community to follow us on social media to stay updated on all the latest news and events:

On September 7th, over 25 riders, including numerous Molloy alumni, participated in The Esopus Century Ride. This event is “a grueling 100-mile bicycle ride from Central Park in Manhattan to the Mid-Hudson Valley Camp in Esopus. Riders represent past and present volunteers from the various camp sessions held in Esopus each summer. The ride has been held every other September for the past 20 years. In 2017, riders raised over $30,000 benefiting Esopus camps. This year, riders raised over $43,000 for Esopus camps, which is the most money raised by any single Century Ride in its history. | Visit The Esopus Century Ride Online

Molloy’s Class of 1984 was well represented during this year’s Esopus Century Ride. Pictured Back Row: Kevin Coughlin ‘84, Kevin M. Ferguson ‘84, and Mike Garvey ‘84. Bottom Row: Tony Maio ‘84 and AJ Power ‘84.

Good luck, Ros! (Photo courtesy of Rosalyn Gold-Onwude via Instagram; @rosgo21)

 

 

 

 

Tim Jegle ’83 is collecting stories about the late Br. Ron Marcellin ’52 for a book he is working on. Tim shares that Br. Ron had a tremendous impact on his life, and he believes many other Stanners can say the same. “I just want to pass these stories on and to honor our friend Br. Ron. This could benefit alumni, present students, or even people who never went to Molloy,” said Tim. If you would like to share a personal story involving Br. Ron Marcellin, contact Tim at timjegle@hotmail.com.

 

Joe Corello ’52 and his wife Lillian recently celebrated their 62nd wedding anniversary with a Mediterranean Cruise. During the trip, Joe and Lillian celebrated Mass at Catedral de la Encarnación de Málaga in Málaga, Spain.

 

 

 

 

Please pray for the repose of the soul of Russell T. Garofalo ’87, who passed away on February 24, 2019. | Memorial Page

Please pray for the repose of the soul of Barbara A. King (9/30/42-1/23/19), mother of Gerard A. King ’81 and Kevin P. King ’82. Barbara’s remarkable life included working many fall dances at molloy with Br. Terence Jones. She took great pride in her religion and raised her four sons, Gerard, Kevin, John, and Brian in a loving Catholic household. She taught them to be good, kind, generous, responsible, and loving men. Please keep Barabara and the King family in your prayers. | Click Here to Read Remembrance
