Summer 2015 163RD COMMENCEMENT Also in this issue: • Benemerenti Medal • Interview with Mr. Marinacci • An Altar Fit for the Pope Message from the President Dear Friends, Summer is winding down and our 164th academic year is set to commence on September 8. The beginning of a new school year is always an exciting time at Blakefield. We have new students and their families joining our community, fresh faces among our faculty and staff, and an abundance of energy as we set our sights on making great things happen for our Dons. We are also on the verge of sharing details related to our newest strategic plan. As you may know, more than a year of planning has gone into the development of this document and we’ve involved thousands of members of the Loyola community. From those who took part in surveys, attended focus group discussions, and contributed in countless ways to its development, I am grateful for everyone who has played a role in crafting our latest strategic vision. In the coming weeks and months, we’ll have much more to report on this and I hope that you are just as excited as I am. Together, we are going to ignite a transformation in young men that will make a lasting impact on their lives and ours. In this issue of Blakefield Magazine, you will hear from our Principal, Mr. John Marinacci. One of the many initiatives that he has in place for the new school year is a pilot 1:1 program whereby a group of sophomore students and their teachers will be equipped with a Microsoft Surface Pro 3. Our hope is to take what we have learned through extensive research and planning and let this pilot program transition us to a 1:1 technology school in the very near future. This is just one of the many exciting changes that are coming to Blakefield, and I look forward to seeing the program in action. “Together, we are In closing, and in some ways summarizing my first seven years as a member of the Loyola community, I want to express my gratitude to all those who so going to ignite a proudly support our mission. I get to encounter the many ways your generosity fuels the work we do on a daily basis and I’m constantly in awe of what we are transformation in able to accomplish together. As a father of a current Don and one who just marched across the Hollow in June, I also have a front row seat in witnessing young men that will just how powerful a Loyola education can be. Thank you for making this make a lasting impact formation possible. Loyola boys are better men when they leave here as they continue to pursue academic excellence, serve others, and grow in their faith on their lives for the rest of their lives. Here’s to a great 164th year! and ours.” God bless you and your family, Mr. Anthony I.

In it, I asked the people of our Archdiocese to enter into a deeper relationship with Christ, to be not merely His disciples but His missionary disciples, extending the light of the Gospel to others among us so that they, too, could fully welcome His Word into their hearts. The Catholic Community Foundation is uniquely positioned to aid this evangelization effort for years to come. “Through their endowed giving, Foundation contributors are helping to foster a culture of Catholic growth and renewal.” Established in 1998 by my predecessor, Cardinal William H. Keeler, the Catholic Community Foundation has grown to over 470 separate funds, each with its own unique purpose and benefit.

    Father Graham, Jesuit Priest, Ministered in India

    Father Graham, Jesuit priest, ministered in India By Paul McMullen [email protected] Twitter: @ReviewMcMullen Jesuit Father Edgar Graham, a Baltimore native who taught and ministered in India, is remembered as a priest who could be both friend and taskmaster. Father Graham died Feb. 1, at age 92. A funeral Mass was offered Feb. 6 at Immaculate Heart of Mary in Baynesville, where he had celebrated Mass for more than two decades, starting approximately in 1985, when he returned to the U.S. after more than 30 years in India. Jesuit Father Joseph Lacey, pastor of St. Alphonsus Rodriguez in Woodstock, met Father Graham in the mid-1960s, when the former joined the faculty at a Jesuit school in Jamshedpur, India. Father Lacey gave the homily at Father Graham’s funeral Mass, which he shared with the Catholic Review. “I was just a young scholastic and Ed was my confessor,” Father Lacey said in his homily. “My first Lent in India I asked whether I could be dispensed from fasting and he responded, ‘No, it’ll do you good.’ “Ed never backed away from a difficult job and he scrupulously and exactly accomplished every task, whether as a math teacher or a treasurer.” Born in 1923 in Baltimore, Father Graham was baptized at Holy Cross Parish. He graduated from what is now Loyola Blakefield in 1941. According to the Jesuits’ Maryland Province, he bagan his college studies at what is now Loyola University Maryland, finished at Novitiate of St. Isaac Jogues in Wernersville, Pa., and studied philosophy at the former Woodstock College.

    Archdiocese of Baltimore and Catholic Review Sponsor 108-Mile Walking Pilgrimage to Philadelphia and Papal Mass

    Archdiocese of Baltimore and Catholic Review Sponsor 108-Mile Walking Pilgrimage to Philadelphia and Papal Mass A priest of the Archdiocese of Baltimore and the managing editor of the official newspaper of the Archdiocese, The Catholic Review, will lead a 20-person Pilgrimage of Love and Mercy, a 108-mile walk from Baltimore to Philadelphia. They will honor Pope Francis’ first visit to the United States and raise funds for both the archdiocese and nations in the developing world. Father John J. Lombardi, pastor of St. Peter in Hancock and St. Patrick in Little Orleans, and Paul McMullen, managing editor of the Catholic Review and CatholicReview.org, will lead a group who range in age from 14 to 69. They will depart the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Baltimore after 10:45 a.m. Mass Sept. 20, and seven days later join an estimated 1 million Sept. 27 along the Benjamin Franklin Parkway in Philadelphia, site of the only public Mass to be celebrated by Pope Francis in the U.S. The walking pilgrimage is sponsored by the Archdiocese of Baltimore and Catholic Review, which also organized same-day bus and train transportation to the Sept. 27 Mass in Philadelphia. The walking pilgrimage includes a shoe drive, “Feet for Francis,” which will benefit both the Archdiocese of Baltimore and nations such as Benin, Haiti and Pakistan. Walking 16 miles most days, pilgrims will rely on the support of parishes, schools and other Catholic institutions. “Remember, our Lord walked to all of his appointments,” Father Lombardi told the Catholic Review.
