Bob served Molloy as a dedicated teacher, counselor, and track and field coach for over 40 years.<\/p>\n<p>We would like to thank the many alumni and members of our community who shared beautiful remembrances of Br. Bob on social media and by email. We have since created a memorial page on our website that includes a selection of the kind messages we received. You can access the page by clicking the button below. Updates to the page will be ongoing.<\/p>\n<p>As there continue to be restrictions in place regarding public gatherings, the Marist Brothers announced that a Memorial Mass for Br. Bob will be held on a later date to be announced. We will share any news as soon as we receive it.<\/p>\n<p>Two virtual memorials were held last week, which are both available for viewing below. The first video is a memorial held on Zoom by our track and field coaches and current student-athletes. Together they pay tribute to Br. Bob through vintage photos, personal testimonials, and even a song from <strong>Mr. Frank Gambino \u201974<\/strong>. The second video is a tree planting ceremony led by <strong>Vice Provincial Br. Dan O\u2019Riordan \u201985<\/strong> and held at the Marist Brothers\u2019 Center at Esopus. The ceremony took place on Saturday, April 11th. We encourage students and alumni who travel to Esopus in the future to visit the tree and say a prayer for Br. Bob.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3><strong>If you would like to share a remembrance to be included on our memorial page, please send it to <a href=\"mailto:alumni@molloyhs.org\">alumni@molloyhs.org<\/a>.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.molloyhs.org\/apps\/pages\/index.jsp?uREC_ID=762548&amp;type=d&amp;pREC_ID=1921675\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-20296 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/168.62.170.58\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/BrBobMemorial.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"620\" height=\"42\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fQrxkzQdbtc\" width=\"620\" height=\"349\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iRQBGUfUBHY\" width=\"620\" height=\"349\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #014f7f;\"><strong>Stanners &amp; Friends Enjoy Virtual Yoga w\/ Jennifer Kelleher \u201804<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/168.62.170.58\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/JK_Yoga_2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-20337\" style=\"border: 1px solid #000000;\" src=\"http:\/\/168.62.170.58\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/JK_Yoga_2-1024x585.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"620\" height=\"354\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>On Sunday, April 19th, alumna <strong>Jennifer Kelleher &#8217;04<\/strong>&nbsp;led Molloy&#8217;s first ever Virtual Yoga &amp; Meditation on Zoom!

Traditionally Molloy always celebrates its Lenten Liturgy on the last day before Easter Break. Although students and faculty are currently engaged in distance learning, administrators did not want that to stop our community from joining together in prayer during Holy Week. Emails were sent, plans were made, and Molloy\u2019s first virtual Liturgy quickly took shape. The Liturgy went live at 10:00AM that morning and began with an introduction by President <strong>Richard Karsten \u201981<\/strong>. Mr. Karsten welcomed the Stanner community and introduced our celebrant, <strong>Fr. Christopher Heanue<\/strong> of Holy Child Jesus parish. The Liturgy also included readings from students, a message from Principal <strong>Dr. Darius Penikas<\/strong>, and contributions from <strong>Allison Terranova \u201914<\/strong>, <strong>Donna Kim<\/strong> <strong>\u201917<\/strong>, <strong>Br. Roy George \u201962<\/strong>, <strong>Ms. Mary Edward \u201913<\/strong>, and <strong>Victor Starsky \u201909<\/strong> (San Francisco Opera). In case you missed it, you can still watch it any time in the video player below or click the buttons to visit Youtube or Facebook. Though it is no longer Holy Week, it is still a wonderful opportunity to pray in a peaceful and comforting setting with our community. To date, the virtual Liturgy has received over 4,000 views between Facebook and Youtube! Special thanks to everyone who contributed to the success of our very first virtual Liturgy.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sGePePDyk_E\" width=\"620\" height=\"349\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/sGePePDyk_E\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-20261 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/168.62.170.58\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/HWVL_YT.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"620\" height=\"42\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ArchbishopMolloy\/videos\/642602692982515\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-20259 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/168.62.170.58\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/HWVL_FBL.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"620\" height=\"42\"><\/a><\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #014f7f;\"><strong>Students Send Letters to Hospital Staff, Patients, Veterans<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-20290 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/thebeehive.molloyhs.org\/?attachment_id=20314'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/thebeehive.molloyhs.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Letters_web-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/thebeehive.molloyhs.org\/?attachment_id=20313'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/thebeehive.molloyhs.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Guerrero_web-e1587734468428-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/thebeehive.molloyhs.org\/?attachment_id=20315'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/thebeehive.molloyhs.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Sullivan-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>Molloy students recently volunteered to write and design letters for hospital staff, general patients, and veterans.

It\u2019s tough not seeing them in person especially being a senior, but we have to make the best of the situation.\u201d Asked to share advice with his classmates, Daniel suggested knowing when to disconnect. \u201cWatch a movie, pray, or even listen to music. I keep recommending this song \u2018Maybe IDK\u2019 by Jon Bellion because to me it captures exactly what we\u2019re going through and what we have to do to make it out.

Students in the SMILE program are part of a family \u2013 a family that shares a strong bond and spans generations.<\/p>\n<p>May 13, 2020 will mark 25 years since the passing of Br. Leo. Alumni will remember him as \u201cthe man with the booming voice,\u201d or the Marist Brother who seemingly randomly picked them out in the hallway one day and changed their life, or the biggest (and loudest) Red Sox fan in New York City. All will remember him as a dedicated counselor and caring friend.<\/p>\n<p>To celebrate the life and legacy of Br. Leo, we thought it would be a good time to look back on the SMILE 50th Anniversary celebration held on March 21, 2015. On that Saturday, hundreds of SMILE alumni, including many former counselors, attended the event to reconnect, reminisce, and celebrate this amazing program. After the event, a \u201cSMILE Museum\u201d was created on Molloy\u2019s website, which features archival articles, photos, videos, and cartoons that help paint a picture of what SMILE means to so many people.

I moved from New York to Dover, Tennessee about 13 years ago. Dover is a very rural community and there is not even cell phone service at my house. I am a Contracting Officer for the Army working at Ft. Campbell, KY. I work for non-appropriated funds, which means that the money I spend is from soldiers that spend on the fifteen army posts served by my office. I negotiate construction contracts for fun things such as pools, splash parks, and go kart tracks that provide soldiers and their families recreation and leisure. My years at Molloy taught me the value of community and I use those values every day in support of our soldiers and their loved ones. I am currently working from home during this crisis. I wish all Stanners to be healthy and safe during these troubling times.
