Vision Bishop Fenwick graduates will enter the world prepared, inspired, and able to excel in all they do, embracing the importance of service to others. OVERVIEW Since its founding in 1959, Bishop Fenwick High School has been recognized as one of the finest college preparatory schools in Boston’s North Shore region. Coeducational from its founding, Fenwick is located on 59 acres in the town of Peabody, 20 miles from the center of Boston. Because of its exceptional education and accessible location, the school draws students from over 40 communities in Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire. As Fenwick approaches its 60th anniversary, it remains firmly committed to its longstanding mission as a Catholic school that provides “greater opportunity for greater achievement” for all students. Fenwick teachers and staff inspire students to achieve academic excellence and deep spiritual growth. They emphasize the importance of understanding the value of knowledge and critical inquiry and help students excel through a wide range of challenging courses and extracurricular programs, as well as through ongoing service to the community. SCHOOL HISTORY Bishop Fenwick High School is the first coeducational Catholic high school in Boston’s North Shore region. It was founded in 1959 by the late Richard Cardinal Cushing and named for the second Bishop of Boston, Benedict Joseph Fenwick, S.J. Originally staffed by the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, an international Catholic religious congregation, the school thrived under the Sisters’ deep commitment to education. The Sisters fostered the motto of their foundress, St. Julie Billiart, “to teach whatever is necessary to prepare the students for life.” The Search Group | Carney, Sandoe & Associates 1 [email protected] | www.carneysandoe.com FastFast Facts Facts Year established: 1959 Total enrollment: 585 Student/teacher ratio: 13:1 Faculty with advanced degrees: 74% Average faculty tenure: 13 years Percent of non-Catholic students: 25% Percent of students receiving aid: 75% Technology: 1-to-1 laptop program Motto: “Goodness and Loyalty” With shifting demographics in education and the world at large, the school evolved over the decades. Today, the faculty is composed primarily of lay faculty and staff who remain committed to the strong academic and extracurricular life of the school started by the Sisters’ of Notre Dame de Namur. Over the years, improvements have been made to support the arts, technology, science and athletics all the while keeping committed to the school’s core mission and values, which emphasize intellectual inquiry and integrity, a strong sense of community, a commitment to justice and peace, and service to others. In 2013, the school launched a strategic plan, “Faith in Fenwick,” to define its future vision. The 2014-2018 plan outlined a path forward that includes evolving the school’s strong academic and extracurricular program, ensuring access to Catholic spirituality, developing a facilities master plan, improving enrollment and marketing practices, supporting a talented faculty, and ensuring financial stability and growth. The Board of Trustees recently released an update to the strategic plan, describing a vision for the school and priorities for the next five years. Fenwick continues to remain highly committed to its mission of helping every student achieve his or her personal best. Scholarship, character, faith, service, goodness, and loyalty remain the school’s core principles. THE SCHOOL Bishop Fenwick High School’s enrollment stands at 585, with students coming from 47 communities and five foreign countries. The experienced faculty and staff remain committed to creating an academically and personally challenging environment and providing a holistic, values-centered education. With its impressive college acceptance rate, Fenwick offers a rigorous college preparatory The Search Group | Carney, Sandoe & Associates 2 [email protected] | www.carneysandoe.com curriculum, including a wide range of honors and Advanced Placement (AP) courses, 27 athletic teams, and 30-plus clubs and organizations. Campus Ministry, technology, student activities, athletics, and development have all evolved in recent years, and continue to grow as needs arise. Enhancements to the school’s science and technology infrastructure, art and athletic facilities, the O’Rourke Library, and the school chapel demonstrate Fenwick’s focus on modernizations that keep the school in the forefront of Catholic, college- preparatory education. During the summer of 2018, Fenwick underwent significant renovations, including the installation of new energy-efficient windows, enhanced sound and lighting systems in the theater, new turf on the main athletic field, and resurfacing of the tennis courts. Additional renovations are planned. On August 1, 2018, Fenwick also announced it was assuming sponsorship of St. Mary of the Annunciation School – a pre-K to 8th grade school located in nearby Danvers. Like Fenwick, St. Mary’s maintains an important tradition of excellence that will continue to grow through this exciting partnership.

As Fenwick continues to evolve, the school remains committed to its Catholic educational mission and to creating an environment in which all students can strive for and achieve excellence intellectually, spiritually, and creatively. At the same time, the school is deeply committed to helping students recognize their responsibility to serve others.

  • Fall/Winter 2016 MARYLAND Historical Magazine Maryland Blood: an American Family in War and Peace, the Hambletons 1657 to the Present
    Fall/Winter 2016 MARYLAND Historical Magazine Maryland Blood: An American Family in War and Peace, the Hambletons 1657 to the Present Martha Frick Symington Sanger At the dawn of the seventeenth century, immigrants to this country arrived with dreams of conquering a new frontier. Families were willing to embrace a life of strife and hardship but with great hopes of achieving prominence and wealth. Such is the case with the Hambleton family. From William Hambleton’s arrival on the Eastern Shore in 1657 and through every major confict on land, sea, and air since, a member of the Hambleton clan has par- ticipated and made a lasting contribution to this nation. Teir achievements are not only in war but in civic leadership as well. Among its members are bankers, business leaders, government ofcials, and visionaries. Not only is the Hambleton family extraordinary by American standards, it is also re- markable in that their base for four centuries has been and continues to be Maryland. Te blood of the Hambletons is also the blood of Maryland, a rich land stretching from the shores of the Atlantic Ocean to the tidal basins of the mighty Chesapeake to the mountains of the west, a poetic framework that illuminates one truly American family that continues its legacy of building new genera- tions of strong Americans. Martha Frick Symington Sanger is an eleventh-gen- eration descendant of pioneer William Hambleton and a great-granddaughter of Henry Clay Frick. She is the author of Henry Clay Frick: An Intimate Portrait, Te Henry Clay Frick Houses, and Helen Clay Frick: Bitter- sweet Heiress.

  • The French Canadians of Burlington and Colchester, 1850-1890
    HISTORY SPRING 1989 VOL. 57, No. 2 84 Community-Building in Uncertain Times: The French Canadians of Burlington and Colchester, 1850-1860 ... the decade of the 1850s was a momentous one for the area's French Canadians, a period during which they evolved from an ill-defined cluster of settlers to a S•elf-conscious ethnic community. By BETSY BEATTIE he 1850s in Burlington and Colchester were years of economic change and insecurity. New industries rose tentatively out of T the dislocations brought about by the arrival of the railroad, the changing lumber industry, and the failure of the Burlington Mill Com­ pany, which in 1850 had been the largest employer in the area. These new enterprises held out the promise of rekindled, redirected industrial develop­ ment for the region, but by 1860 most of them were struggling just to survive. The financial panic of 1857 and the reduction of tariffs on tex­ tiles further retarded growth. For French Canadians in the Burlington area, the future seemed even less secure. They had been entering Burlington and Colchester in sizable numbers since the 1820s and 1830s, and by 1850 totaled more than one thousand, the largest concentration of French Canadians in the state. While their numbers increased seventy-one percent across the decade of the 1850s, their overall economic status apparently declined, and the changing com­ position of the population caused by the constant influx and outflow of residents added to the general sense of instability. In spite of these serious problems, the decade of the 1850s was a momentous one for the area's French Canadians, a period during which they evolved from an ill-defined cluster of settlers to a self-conscious ethnic community.

St Columba’s Cathedral in Oban was filled to capacity on the evening of February 18 for the consecration of Bishop Brian McGee by Archbishop Leo Cushley, Bishop Joseph Toal and Bishop John Keenan. “Fr Brian is being sent to you, my dear brothers and sisters, precisely to preach the Good News to the poor, to bind up hearts that are broken, anointed as he will shortly be, by the Gift of the Spirit and commissioned by God’s Church to serve you,” Archbishop Cushley said in the presence of Bishop Toal, whom Bishop McGee follows as diocesan bishop, and Bishop Keenan, ‘up until now my boss,’ according to the new bishop who was vicar general in Paisley. The Archbishop of St Andrews and Edinburgh and the bishops of Motherwell and Paisley were joined at the celebration by the Apostolic Nuncio Archbishop Antonio Mennini; Cardinal Sean Brady of Ireland; their brother bishops in Scotland, including Bishops’ Conference President Archbishop Philip Tartaglia; the clergy and parishioners of the geographically large Argyll and the Isles Diocese; and the families of the diocese’s bishops, past and present.

  • Chapter One the Jesuit Heritage in Maine
    CHAPTER ONE THE JESUIT HERITAGE IN MAINE The presence of the Jesuits in the Pine Tree State not only antedates their arrival in any of the remaining New England States but it precedes the establishment of the Diocese of Portland on 29 July 1853 by almost 250years. In surveying the Jesuit connection with the State of Maine before and after the Diocese of Portland came into existence, it will be helpful to study the early period of the seventeenth and eighteenth cen­ turies when the Jesuits served the Indians of Maine, the modem period of the nineteenth century when the Jesuits strengthened the foundations of the Catholic Church in Maine, and the contemporary period of the twentieth century when the Jesuits continue their service to the people of Maine. I The coming of the Jesuits to Maine began when Father Pierre Biard, a French Jesuit, traveled the rivers of the St. John, St. Croix, Penobscot and Kennebec in the summer and fall of 1611. As far back as 1604, Samuel de Champlain, a friend of the Jesuits in later years at Quebec, had explored the coast of Maine and helped to establish the first European colony on St. Croix Island. Father Biard's journey led him not only to this French settlement but to Bangor, where he hoped to establish a mission; to Castine, where he cared for a sick warrior of the Etchemins; and to islands, like Matinicus and Monhegan, where he helped to plant the Holy Cross, the Christian symbof that he used to instruct the Indians. His ministry to the Indians of Maine was historic because he offered the first recorded Mass in New England on an island, presumably Swan Island, near the entrance of the Kennebec River on November 1st.
