Senior Project Presentations From the Head of School May 15 Greetings,
Last day for Seniors We have had a busy and fruitful week. This week’s update reflects the life and the good news of our St. Mary’s community. May 22 I was thinking about how quickly this academic year has passed and I have been spending time with our seniors as they head into the home Baccalaureate Mass stretch. I found this wonderful quote which captures my feeling about the next four weeks: May 23
“You’re searching... Commencement For things that don’t exist; I mean beginnings. Ends and beginnings - there are no such things. June 18 There are only middles.”
Robert Frost, Mountain Interval, “In the Home Stretch” North Shore Navigators SMH Night I hope our seniors and the faculty, staff and students seize the upcoming moments and cherish the “middles” that Robert Frost refers to in this profound excerpt. The next three weeks will pass quickly and I hope that we as a community will stop and cherish every moment in prayer and gratitude. Carpe diem! Spartan Weekly Update

Spartan Pride
On April 27, Dick Ruth ‘68 was inducted into the Lynn Classical High School Hall of Fame. Dick taught in the Lynn Public Schools for 35 years and from 1988 to 2007 served as Athletic Director at Lynn Classical. Just after his retirement he returned to teaching by accepting a part-time position in the math department at St. Mary’s. Details can be found on our website.
On Monday Mr. Ruth suffered a bad choking episode in class: “When I was able to catch my breath Michaela St. Cyr brought her unopened bottle of water to me. I said thank you but I didn’t want to take her water. She told me that I might as well drink it because she wasn’t taking it back. Michaela is an outstanding math student and her actions showed me that she is an even more outstanding human being.”

Massachusetts Water Resources Authority School Education Program The MWRA received dozens of entries from schools across our service area. The students who made it to the final judging session should be very proud of themselves. Even though their video was not chosen for a prize, it was selected to be among the few to make it to the final judging session and we want to recognize their hard work and talent as well.
Each student received a Certificate of Achievement for reaching the final session in the judging process. Over the next few weeks the MWRA will be posting all the videos that made it to the final sessions on YouTube.

Carolyn McInnis DiGiammo, O’Brien Foundation Trustee, spoke about the O’Brien Foundation’s message to give back to society in any and every way you can. St. Mary’s O’Brien Scholars spoke about how they each plan on giving back to the local and global community as they move on to their next chapters after graduation.
Law Day
This week the Social Studies Department happily participated in the 55th annual celebration of Law Day. Law Day was initially declared by President Dwight Eisenhower in 1958 during the midst of the Cold War to celebrate, and clearly delineate, the fact that the United States is a nation of laws. Courts in our nation, and across the nation, celebrate Law Day in their own ways. Accordingly, our students were involved in a variety of different activities.
Judge James Lamothe, (father of John Lamothe ‘09) came to speak to students about the role of judges in the legal process. Judge Lamothe serves as an Associate Justice of the Massachusetts District Court. He currently sits in the Lynn District Court, where, among other things, he presides over the Drug Court, a special session dedicated to helping substance abusers maintain recovery. Judge Lamothe also coaches Boys Basketball at St. Mary’s.
Mr. Jalbert accompanied the A.P. U.S. History class to the Lynn Juvenile Court’s Law Day celebration. Students witnessed a program that explained the roles of the various people who work in the Juvenile Court, learning about the rewarding work they do there in their quest to rehabilitate youthful offenders. Junior Hannah McCormack was recognized as the winner of the Lynn Juvenile Court Essay Contest.
Mrs. Poole and Mr. DiMaiti accompanied Rebecca Hart to Lynn District Court, where Rebecca received an award recognizing her excellence in Mock Trial competition this year.

Beyond the Curriculum with Dr. Ann McGreevy Each spring we begin the weeks of Senior Activities with our Senior Lecture. Last Tuesday, April 23 our Senior Class had the opportunity to hear a lecture by Travis Roy, a former hockey player who shared his challenging story with profound dignity. Travis was injured in 1995 in his first hockey game at BU during the first eleven seconds of the game. He has responded to his challenges with courage and determination, and he discusses the meaning of goals, passions, love and respect with his audience. One could hear a pin drop in the lecture hall. Our students were inspired by this lecture, and each student received a copy of his book, Eleven Seconds.
Below are a two comments from students:
“Travis Roy’s talk was very moving. I admired the way he could talk about his horrific accident. Life throws us a lot of curves, but it is the way we handle them that counts.” Kasey Wolfe
“Travis’ story is one of tragedy, but also it is one of hope, belief and overcoming difficult times in your life. His message made me think how important life is.” Josh Davidson

Dear Parents,
We are delighted to welcome you and your senior to the Commencement season here at St. Mary’s. We are proud of the Class of 2013 and their many achievements in academics, athletics, fine and performing arts, student leadership, campus ministry, service, and their commitment to faith and citizenship. The college and university acceptance list truly reflects the return on your investment in a St. Mary’s education and we thank you for entrusting your sons and daughters to us.
We are happy to share the senior activity schedule with you and want you to know that the senior activities will be meaningful as we welcome the Class of 2013 to join the long legacy of alumni at St. Mary’s.
We will graduate from the Lynn Memorial Auditorium on May 23, 2013. We have reviewed this year’s class size and the request for tickets. In order to accommodate the class, our guests and the Golden Jubilarians, we met with the Mayor and made a decision to move the Commencement exercises to the Lynn Memorial Auditorium. We thank the City of Lynn for their partnership and look forward to a beautiful event. The students will dress in their caps and gowns in the school and then process to the Church to begin the proceedings in prayer before processing to the Lynn Auditorium. While this may seem like a significant change, St. Mary’s graduated from the Lynn Memorial Auditorium for many years and there is a history and legacy with our alumni so for many it will be like going home.
Each graduate will receive six tickets for Commencement and seating will be assigned by lottery. All seniors will be notified of their seating in advance and seats will be reserved by name of graduate and also outlined on a seating chart. The upper balcony will be open to additional family and friends.
Details on senior activities and Commencement will be forthcoming and we know that you will be pleased with the changes, as we will be able to accommodate each graduate and family.
We will also be sending Commencement protocol and expectations; for some of our families this is the first Commencement in their family so we want to be fully transparent about the expectations and protocol.
Congratulations again.
Sincerely,
Grace Cotter Regan Carl DiMaiti Head of School Principal

Being pro-life means that we need to act pro-life. We invite you to take part in this wonderful event and help expectant mothers in need. of 2012-2013 5 May 2013 Created by Chris Carmody: [email protected] and Stephanie Rangel: [email protected] Sacraments: Receiving the Power of God
The Sacraments are what we know as Catholics. We bring our children to be Baptized when they are The purpose of the born, and for first Penance and first Communion when they are in the second grade. We know that Confirmation usually comes when they are older, and then we choose between Marriage and Holy sacraments is to sanc- Orders. If we were asked, we may even be able to give a definition for a Sacrament; something like, tify men, to build up “a visible sign of an invisible grace”. the Body of Christ
That is certainly one way to explain what a Sacrament is, but here is another one that can be more and, finally, to give enlightening: “Sacraments are ‘powers that come forth’ from the Body of Christ, which is ever- worship to God. Be- living and life-giving. They are actions of the Holy Spirit at work in his Body, the Church. They cause they are signs are ‘masterworks of God’ in the new and everlasting covenant.” (CCC 1116) This definition from the Catechism helps us to see that the Sacraments are not simply events that happen in the course of they also instruct. our life, but rather the life-giving power of God! This is a stronger, more complete definition because it They not only presup- helps us to realize that the Sacraments are not our action, but rather the Holy Spirit acting in and pose faith, but by through us. The Body of Christ is „ever-living and life-giving‟. Do you experience this in the Sacra- words and objects they ments? The power of God is there each time we receive His grace – at Baptism, in the Eucharist, through Confession and the Anointing of the Sick, at Confirmation, and through Marriage and Holy also nourish, Orders. strengthen, and ex-
The Sacraments are sensational! They are sensational in two ways: First, because they are out- press it. That is why standing in the grace that they confer, the ways in which they can change and improve our lives, and they are called because we, His humble creatures, are able to receive Christ, the Creator. Second, because we per- ‘sacraments of faith.’ ceive the Sacraments through our senses (the outward sign). Christ, in His infinite wisdom, has or- dained it so that we receive His grace in ways that we can perceive and understand – water at Baptism, the words of absolution in Confession, through the bread and wine that becomes the Body and Blood in the Eucharist, the chrism (oil) at Confirmation, the man and woman in marriage, and the laying on of hands at an ordination. We can per- ceive and know that the Sacrament has been conferred and the grace given because we can experience the Sacrament through our senses. What an amazing gift Christ has given!
The Sacraments are what we know as Catholics. Kind of! Sadly, many Catholics see the Sacraments as spiritual stepping-stones or benchmarks, rather than life-giving actions of the Holy Spirit. Many see Mass as optional or, worse, a hindrance to grace, instead of the opportunity to receive Christ, Life Himself, in the Eucharist. We see Confession as torture, rather than an opportunity to encounter the Father‟s life-giving mercy. As Catho- lics, we are called not to simply receive the Sacraments at certain times in our life, but rather to live a Sacramental life, where we are regularly receiving the Sacraments and are active members of the Body of Christ, sustained by the power of the Holy Spirit.
