Molloy Welcomes Bishop Brennan for Senior Liturgy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Bishop Robert J. Brennan, center, visited Molloy on September 16th.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

At the beginning of each new school year, Molloy celebrates a Liturgy of the Holy Spirit with each grade. For our seniors, the Liturgy serves as an opportunity to reinforce that they are now leaders at Molloy with added responsibility. It also serves as a reminder of God\u2019s constant presence in their lives. On Friday, September 16th, Molloy celebrated a very special senior Liturgy, welcoming His Excellency, the Most Reverend Bishop Robert J. Brennan<\/strong>, as celebrant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe were thrilled to welcome Bishop Brennan to Archbishop Molloy High School and for him to celebrate the Senior Liturgy of the Holy Spirit. This was a great way for our seniors and our entire school community to kick off the 2022-23 school year,\u201d said Principal Dr. Darius Penikas<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bishop Brennan spoke to a group of Campus Ministry volunteers before Mass, asking them about their goals for the year and their career ambitions. Bishop Brennan used his time with our seniors, along with Mass itself, as opportunities to encourage the seniors to lean on their Molloy family and the Marist pillar of service, and to never forget that they aren\u2019t alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the morning, Bishop Brennan reiterated that Molloy is a special place, somewhere people are meant to encounter Jesus Christ. \u201cThis is the most important year of high school to engage in this encounter,\u201d Bishop Brennan told the seniors during his homily. \u201cYou are preparing for your future, and you have Christ here to guide you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our seniors and faculty join Bishop Brennan in celebrating faith in Christ, not just during Mass, but everyday when we remember \u201cto pray for one another.\u201d Bishop Brennan emphasized to all that focusing on the big things in life is most important, and praying for one another each and every day \u201cis the biggest thing of all.\u201d Before parting, Bishop Brennan was presented with gifts from Dr. Penikas and President Mr. Richard Karsten \u201881<\/strong> to thank him for visiting with our community and celebrating the start of the seniors\u2019 last year at Molloy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back to School<\/strong>: 2022-23 Academic Year Begins<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Welcome back, Stanners! Last week, our students, faculty, and staff returned to school after what we hope was a restful and fun summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On September 7th, the Class of 2026 enjoyed their Freshman Orientation, officially walking the halls as Molloy students! Our newest Stanners met their homeroom teachers, received their lanyards, and learned how to open their lockers. Faculty, staff, and upperclassmen in the National Honor Society (NHS) were stationed in the hallways to help those with locker troubles, preparing them to be independent, confident Stanners. Sophomore, juniors, and seniors returned throughout the rest of the week. All classes began their first full week on September 12th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Beehive<\/em> wishes all students, faculty, and staff a safe, productive, and fun school year!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the very start of summer, Stanners participated in the Emerging Young Women\u2019s Leadership Workshop. Each day, students heard from a different female faculty or staff member who led discussions about Communication, Conflict Resolution, Stress Management, and Goal Setting. The workshop included activities, case studies, skills assessment, and group discussion.

In early July, Molloy welcomed the Class of 2026 to their first ever high school retreat experience at the Marist Brothers\u2019 Center at Esopus: Freshman Camp! Before beginning their journey at Molloy in September, our new Stanners were able to meet their classmates and bond through sports, games, crafts, and many other activities. Campers also celebrated Mass together and were introduced to the Marist charism. The beautiful weather allowed for the students and volunteers to explore the Esopus property, a place we hope they will visit multiple times throughout their high school career. Special thanks to all the camp organizers and volunteers who helped make the week a success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In July, over 20 pilgrims from across the Marist US Province traveled to France to complete an annual pilgrimage to l\u2019Hermitage, the retreat built by St. Marcellin Champagnat<\/strong> and the first Marist Brothers. The group included members of the Molloy community including Br. Eugene Birmingham<\/strong>, Br. Dan O\u2019Riordan \u201985<\/strong>, Br. Owen Ormsby \u201974<\/strong>, Br. Thomas Schady<\/strong>, and Ms. Lori Wilson<\/strong>. The pilgrims enjoyed a once in a lifetime experience including sitting at the communal wooden dinner table built by St. Marcellin. \u201cWe walked in [Champagnat\u2019s] footsteps, seeing where he was baptized, where he spent time between formation years, where he began in LaValla as a parish priest, where he discovered his mission when speaking to a young dying boy who didn\u2019t know of God, and where he gathered his first brothers,\u201d said Ms. Wilson, Director of Campus Ministry & Marist Mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In July, more than 60 school leaders from US Marist school communities gathered at San Alfonso Retreat Center for the Marist Leadership Institute. The MLI was led by Br. Hank Hammer<\/strong> and Br. Thomas Schady<\/strong> of the Office of Marist Ministries with assistance from Matt Fallon<\/strong>, Maureen Hagan<\/strong>, and Br. Owen Ormsby \u201874<\/strong>. Tenisha McDonald \u201907<\/strong>, who serves on the Diversity & Inclusion Committee of Molloy\u2019s School Board, was among the attendees. “I enjoyed participating in the Marist Leadership Institute because it gave me the opportunity to work collaboratively with School Board members, principals, and presidents of Marist schools across the country. The seminars were beneficial in that they provided the space and support for discussions about tangible long- and short-term goals for Molloy and action steps necessary to meet these goals. I left the Institute with a deeper understanding of the Marist charism and how it shapes our school,\u201d said Tenisha. Nan Doherty<\/strong>, a Board Member who serves on Molloy’s Academic Committee, said MLI \u201cwas a unique opportunity to learn more about the importance of the work and decisions we participate in and how they contribute to the overall mission and charism of the Marist Brothers and all our partner schools.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

21st Anniversary of Sept 11th \u2013 Molloy Remembers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

21 years after the events of September 11, 2001, we continue to pray for and remember all who have been affected by the events of that tragic day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a special intention, we pray for those in our Molloy community who have suffered, including those who lost their lives and the families and friends who continue to mourn loved ones. We also pray for those who continue to experience health-related complications resulting from working or living near the World Trade Center site in the months and years that followed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We remain grateful for all first responders who bravely acted on that day and over the course of many weeks, months, and years of recovery efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We encourage you to watch a special video produced by TSA down below, which features Molloy alumnus Chris Waters \u201905<\/strong>. In the video, Chris reflects on the 21st anniversary of September 11, 2001, and being at Molloy while the event unfolded. Chris also remembers his late father, fellow Stanner, Capt. Patrick Waters\u2019 74<\/strong>, FDNY<\/strong>, who tragically lost his life while attempting to help others at the World Trade Center. Thank you, Chris, for the beautiful words you shared. We continue to pray for your family. *NOTE: Some footage in this video may be upsetting. Viewer discretion is advised.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
