<\/a>When: <\/strong>Thursday, April 6th, 2017 | Time: <\/strong>6:30pm<\/li>\nAlumni, parents, and friends (ages 21+) are invited to join us on Thursday, April 6th for Mr. Jim Sheehan’s<\/strong> latest wine tasting class. In Jim\u2019s words:<\/strong> \u201cBordeaux is among the oldest and most elite wine regions in history. It\u2019s likely the Romans first produced wine there in the mid First Century. A number of the most sought after\u2013and wallet-breaking\u2013wines in the world are blended in Bordeaux, priced prohibitively for all but a few. But what many people don\u2019t know is that the region produces hundreds of excellent wines which lack the name recognition of Rothschild and Latour but are widely available for reasonable prices. Join us for a tasting of six of these wines, 3 white and 3 red, complemented by light food and conversation about the history, wine-making and allure of the region.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n We invite all members of our community to join us on Saturday, March 25th to celebrate the induction of our Stanner Hall of Fame Class of 2017. The evening will include hors d\u2019oeuvres, spirits, dinner, and dessert as well as brief presentations by our distinguished inductees. We encourage Stanners from the Classes of 1963, 1971, and 1983 to come out and support their classmates, as well as former track & field and softball student-athletes to come out and support our faculty inductees. Please contact Matt Rizzotti (info above<\/em>) with any questions.<\/p>\n This past winter break, SMCS traveled to a destination the program had never visited: southern Arizona. Moderator Mr. Chris Dougherty \u201991<\/strong> and faculty chaperones Mr. Brian Klimas \u201998<\/strong>, Ms. Tamanna Akt Representatives from BorderLinks helped Mr. Dougherty coordinate a number of activities for SMCS, including volunteer opportunities in a soup kitchen and a clothing pantry where our students and chaperones served breakfast and distributed clothing to Tuscon\u2019s homeless and the local immigrant population. SMCS also participated in more physical service projects, namely landscaping duties and replanting community gardens.<\/p>\n

<\/a>The St. Marcellin Champagnat Society (SMCS) is a service program made up of a committed group of students, faculty, and alumni who are active volunteers in the Molloy, Esopus, and New York metro-area communities. One of the main goals of SMCS is to help bring the vision and mission of Champagnat even further; to other areas of the United States and even across the globe. Past trips include Jamaica, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Peru, and Lourdes (France) among others. With an ever changing roster of participants, many Stanners have been inspired by SMCS service trips in its history. (Pictured: SMCS shortly before departure from Molloy<\/em>.)<\/p>\n<\/a>er<\/strong>, and Ms. Catie Massowd \u201907<\/strong> accompanied a group of about 20 students to Tuscon, where they met up with the non-profit organization BorderLinks. According to their website, BorderLinks, \u201ccoordinates educational delegations and leads workshops in the U.S.-Mexico borderlands and in southern Mexico, giving groups a variety of experiences to deepen their understanding of borders, immigration, and social issues.\u201d<\/p>\n
