Ignatian Service at - Wheeler Hall Construction - Capital Campaign: Vision 2020 Message from The President

Dear Friends.

I am pleased to share with you this Winter 2012 issue of Blakefield Magazine. This year marks the 160th academic year and thus far, what a year it has been! Thanks to excellent planning and diligence on the part of all those involved in the Wheeler Hall expansion and renovation, the building was open and ready for students in September 2011.

If you have visited campus lately, I hope you were able to take note of the great work that has been done to not only deliver enhancements to the building’s mechanical, electrical, plumbing and technology systems, but also to preserve the history and tradition of our flagship academic building.

In addition to the work completed on Wheeler Hall, Loyola has advanced toward the execution of a Capital Campaign, a bold initiative whereby our goals are to strengthen the financial security for the school and its / staff, modernize our facilities, and create an endowment that will provide scholarship, program development and facilities renewal. Please take note of the details concerning this campaign within these pages.

I also hope that you will enjoy learning more about our Ignatian Service program and what service formation in a Jesuit school means for students now and for the rest of their lives. In fact, our Dons perform thousands of hours of service each year, spending time locally and in places such as Camden, New Jersey, ’s Eastern Shore, Haiti and one travelling group dubbed the “Talent Tour” who took the show on the road and visited several sites throughout Maryland and . Modeled after the U.S. Department of Defense Goodwill Tours, their travelling variety show was a hit.

Service is also taking root more broadly throughout our community. Many teams have engaged in additional service projects and both the Fathers’ Club and Mothers’ Club are making significant contributions on a regular basis to a great variety of service providers. They do this as groups of Moms or Dads and often as a family. Additionally, the Alumni Association has sponsors a day of service at Cristo Rey Jesuit High School and faculty departments have undertaken similar projects.

I am always grateful for your generosity and affectionate bond with Loyola Blakefield.

Sincerely in Our Lord,

Rev. Thomas A, Pesci, S.J. President

WINTER 2012 3 Message from The PrINCIPAL

Dear Loyola Blakefield Community,

On July 31, 1973, the feast day of Saint Ignatius, Rev. Pedro Arrupe, S.J. , who was then serving as the Superior General of the , delivered a speech which would profoundly affect the way Jesuit institutions encourage members of our communities to put the needs of others before their own. Fr. Arrupe stated:

Today our prime educational objective must be to form men and women for others; men and women who will live not for themselves but for God and his Christ – for the God-man who lived and died for all the world; men and women who cannot even conceive of love of God which does not include love for the least of their neighbors.

Father Arrupe challenges us to think outside of ourselves as we seek to live not only for the greater glory of God (Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam), but for that of the human race. For decades, the Dons of Loyola Blakefield have embraced this challenge and have set their sights on working for a just world.

In Philippians, chapter 2, verses 1 – 4, the apostle Paul encourages us:

“Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.”

I say, live unselfishly and be mindful of the interests of others. The task of putting the needs of others before our own should be a natural tendency. We are all proud members of the Loyola Blakefield community because, in part, we have heard, have embraced, and have been inspired by this instruction. Daily, we challenge ourselves with the question, “in what ways have I animated the servant leadership characteristics that both the apostle Paul and Pedro Arrupe identify as the key to a complete life?” As servant leaders we must look to model ourselves after Christ.

I hope that you will be inspired by the stories that follow as they highlight the depth of Loyola Blakefield’s commitment to working for a just world.

Peace,

Anthony I. Day, Principal

4 BLAKEFIELD MAGAZINE STUDENT REFLECTION The Three-in-One Service Experience - Colin P. McGrath ‘12

My service experience started at Blakefield on a Monday morning in July. There were nine of us that departed that day for Ridgeley, Maryland, including two adult leaders (Mr. Anthony Day and Mrs. Jamie Schertle). I had known both of them before the trip but I had no idea how much this trip would truly change my perspective on them.

We began the trip by purchasing food for the week. As we shopped at a grocery store on the Eastern Shore, we grabbed items off the shelf that satisfied our cravings at that moment. We found out later that week that we had brought much more than we needed because our hosts at the St. Benedictine School fed us more food than we could have imagined.

We arrived at the Benedictine School and got settled into our housing. The house was on the property where we would be doing our service project and was surrounded by sod fields that offered great space for soccer during our free time at night. We got to work right away and realized that we would be assigned a variety of tasks throughout the week. Some of the work involved painting, cleaning or working with the kids in the school and we also helped the kids get dressed and prepare for their day. Additionally, we would help prepare meals for the homeless and work in a shelter for women who had come from abusive relationships.

We had such a great time playing with the kids and their tremendous energy kept us busy throughout the day. The most memorable experience for me was our first night. We participated in what was known as “crazy games” for the kids at the Benedictine School. The kids are all coping with mental and physical disabilities and in one special way, they were unlike any group of people that I had ever met. They never paused to judge us and were in no way afraid to open up to us. This made an impression on me that will last forever. They accepted us from the moment they met us. This first night really opened my heart up to the experience I was about to have. The remainder of the week brought To learn more about me closer to my classmates and helped form a bond with both Mr. Day and Loyola’s Ignatian Service Program Mrs. Schertle that I still hold today. When I see them now, I no longer only visit: loyolablakefield.org/service view them as adult members of our community and within their roles here on campus, but as two caring people that I shared and incredible experience with.

Service truly offered me an experience that will last a lifetime. It still amazes me that one week can make such a lasting impact on me and create bonds that will exist for years to come. This is what service and the Loyola experience gave me.

Dan McNeal Award Recipient

In September, 2011, Anthony Joseph Unitas, Jr. ‘12 (A.J.) was awarded the Daniel W. McNeal Scholarship Award at the Mass of the Holy Spirit. Unitas maintains a cumulative grade point average of 4.34 in a demanding curriculum. He is a four year member of the Integritas Committee, the Blakefield Choir, the J-Notes, and the Blakefield Players. During his sophomore year, he joined the Forensics Team. He has also served as a Sacristan at the Cathedral of Mary Our Queen. Sergeant Charles Emory Godfrey ‘90 spoke on behalf of the Class of 1990 and presented Mrs. Kitty McNeal with an American flag, which he had flown in his aircraft throughout the globe. The Daniel W. McNeal Scholarship Award is presented annually to a member of the junior or senior class that exemplifies the characteristics that Loyola Blakefield holds dear in Jesuit education – a commitment to academic excellence, involvement in his community, and, in his words and in his deeds, he is a true man for others. The award is given in loving memory of Dan McNeal, a member of the Loyola Blakefield class of 1990, and recipient of the Loyola Alumni Medal. Dan died tragically in the World Trade Centers on the morning of September 11, 2001. Dan led his life, always choosing to think of others first.

In his address to the “Tenth International Congress of “The more universal the good is, the more itis Jesuit Alumni of Europe” in Valencia, Spain, on July divine. Therefore preference ought to be given to 31, 1973, Superior General of the Society of Jesus, Rev. those persons and places which, through their own Pedro Arrupe, S.J. stated the following: “Today our improvement, become a cause which can spread the prime educational objective must be to form men-and- good accomplished to many others who are under women-for-others; men and women who will live not their influence or take guidance from them...For for themselves but for God and his Christ…” the same reason, too, preference ought to be shown to the aid which is given to...universities, which are Since the formation of the Society of Jesus, service has generally attended by numerous persons who by always been a valuable dimension of a Jesuit education. being aided themselves can become laborers for the “Service in the Jesuit school is experiential learning at help of others.” the most fundamental and faith filled level,” said Rev. – Letter from St. Ignatius to Rev. Antonio Araoz, S.J. Thomas A. Pesci, S.J. “In our program we introduce young men to service in a very gentle way such as visiting an elderly person in a nursing home and seeing what their experience in life has been. As we move along, we try to intensify the experience so that by the time they are seniors what we really want them to have is a personal encounter with someone such that we might say, there but for the grace of god go I.”

Anthon Day, Principal at Loyola, realizes that student reflection on their service experience is as important as the act itself. “Reflection is so important because simply placing students in a situation is not always the best way for them to fully realize their deeds,” said Day. “Reflection allows them to think back on their experience and how it formed them.”

8 BLAKEFIELD MAGAZINE Faculty in Service On Nov 21, the Middle and Upper School English department served dinner at Heart’s Place Homeless Shelter in Baltimore City. “I’ve been working with Heart’s Place Homeless Shelter for 15 years, but one of my most moving experiences happened this past year, when the English department, along with spouses and children, arrived bearing mouth-watering homemade dishes- -included two hams that Raymond Brown and his son Ben candied right in front of my eyes! I felt so blessed be able to call such generous, selfless people my colleagues.” – Rachel Wilkinson, English

Adopt a Family In partnership with the parish of St. Gregory in Baltimore City, the entire Loyola Blakefield community takes part in an annual Adopt-a-Family effort in December. In 2011, thanks to the hard work and generosity of students, faculty and parents, Loyola was able to provide for more than 7 families during the Christmas season. “Seeing Students, faculty and parents come together to provide for so many families during the Christmas season is a testament to the generosity of Loyola Blakefield. The annual Adopt-a-Family program is an excellent opportunity for the entire Loyola community to unite under our shared call to serve those in need.” – Ben Horgan, Director of Ignatian Service

As part of his Senior Service Project, Jason Kraft of food we were able to provide.” Kraft has also spent ‘12 helped organize a community food drive at time at the Pickersgill Retirement Community. “The Sherwood Forest in Annapolis. His efforts benefited residents love sharing their life experiences with me Lighthouse, a homeless prevention support center. and I enjoy hearing them talk about their lives think “My father had always led the food drive but now because their experience has been so different than it’s something that has been passed down to me,” my own, “said Kraft. “It is refreshing to see them said Kraft. “It was rewarding to make the delivery enjoy life and to know that in some way, they enjoy and see how thrilled the staff was with the amount my company.”

Service indeed comes in many forms. In December 2011, Robert A. Williams ‘73 was named a 2011 “Hero on the Hill” by Indian Country Today. A highly regarded Indian law professor at the University of Arizona, Williams spent time in Washington D.C. to help highlight the protection of rights of six First Nations of British Columbia. A Lumbee tribal citizen himself, he presented evidence before the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights of the Organization of America States. His work focuses on tribal land claims and the end of the destruction of Indian lands through deforestation and pollution. He realizes the lengthy battle he faces, but is determined to strive towards an outcome that is for the greater good of all stakeholders.

WINTER 2012 9 Ignatian Service

Henry Kaestner ‘87, Co-Founder and Executive Chairman of Bandwidth.com, has notched his share of professional victories: he and his business partner were finalists for the 2009 Ernst and Young Entrepreneur of the Year award, and each was named by American Venture Magazine as one of the “Top 40 Under 40.” And yet, just as his career was kicking into high gear, Henry decided to take a step back from the business world. In 2008, just over a year shy of his 40th birthday, he stepped down as CEO of Bandwidth.com to devote more time to his non-profit endeavors, beginning with DurhamCares. I caught up with Henry over a beer at Tyler’s Taproom in Durham, NC.

Tim Sullivan ‘01: It seems like it was right around the time business was really taking off that you decided to focus more on DurhamCares. How come?

Henry Kaestner ‘87: For me, it was really born out of a sense of calling that I got about seven years ago. We were in the midst of a pretty significant growth curve in our business, and at the same time, I was participating in a small group study on the subject of “calling.” And as I was thinking and praying about it, I knew that I still felt called to be in business, but I also felt increasingly convicted that I had an opportunity to do more in ministry. So I went to my business partner and said, “Listen, by the time I’m 40, I’d really like to be out of the business on a day-to-day basis.” So when I turned 40, I gave up the CEO role and just retained the Executive Chairmanship, and now I really spend about 80% of my time on ministry.

TS: So what is the nature of DurhamCares, specifically? What is its mission?

HK: Well, all of the different organizations we’ve started have had something to do with helping people understand how they might answer the questions of where and how they might most effectively give, and then alsowhy they might give. And DurhamCares is really our local manifestation of that. It’s what we do locally to help people in Durham to love their neighbor. We’re responding to some market research in which we’d found that more than half the people in our community give less than $100 a year to local charities, and more than 60% of them hadn’t volunteered anywhere over the preceding 12 months - and this is against a backdrop of a community with terrific challenges and great opportunities. People just weren’t getting plugged in. So our organization seeks to break down the barriers that prevent people from finding committed, sustained volunteering and giving opportunities that are as much a blessing to them as they are to the people they serve.

1 0 BLAKEFIELD MAGAZINE TS: Have you always been this committed to service? Certainly you had some experience with Christian Service here at Blakefield - did your personal desire to serve grow directly out of your time here, or did it come from somewhere else?

HK: Well, a Loyola Blakefield education is so important in that it is able to give you that first experience of service - you might call it a in service. It provides us all with not just an introduction to the concept of service, but also a strong understanding of why we should give and why we should serve. But if my experience is like that of other graduates, that can go dormant for awhile. It shouldn’t, but in my case, it did. Education, and then career, and then family sort of got in the way, as I’m guessing it does for a lot of guys. But the important thing for me was more than just being able to tap back into memories of service trips - it was being able to reengage with why we do it: for the greater glory of God. That’s a big deal, and that’s stuck with me for my whole life. It’s theologically correct, and it’s uniquely Loyola - it’s what makes us “Men for Others.” I now understand what AMDG means, and it’s transformed my life.

TS: Speaking of that Blakefield education, what stands out in your mind when you think back on those days?

HK: You know, I loved great spring days when the teacher would say, “Let’s go out and have class in the Hollow.” I loved the incredible school spirit that came from going to football and lacrosse games. During the lacrosse season, Rob Costante would lead the student section in cheers. We demolished other teams on the field, but more importantly, we demolished people in the stands. The school spirit that we had… we would be so much more organized than other teams, that it’s almost akin to the way that the Cameron Crazies put every other ACC school to shame in terms of school spirit. It was just intoxicating.

TS: Any teachers stand out in particular?

HK: Oh, there were a lot of teachers. I have great memories of Mr. Dubyoski, and Father Kerr had this incredible charisma, but as I reflect back, the teacher that made the most important impression on my life was Mr. Behrendt. Of course, I didn’t give him any credit at the time, but he had this incredible passion for teaching and shaping young men, and he had a good discipline around it that was all about lifting us up and making us better. I didn’t appreciate it at the time - of course, you never do - but I’m really grateful for it now.

WINTER 2012 2 1 Cherishing our History. Investing in our Mission. Securing our Future.

Loyola Blakefield’s newest Capital Campaign, Vision 2020, seeks to ensure that Loyola’s mission continues in perpetuity. An important component of this commitment is a disciplined approach toward planning our future. The Blakefield campus will serve as not only a symbol of our mission, but a beacon of hope accessible to increasingly diverse learners. Our grounds will serve as a setting where “men with - and - for others” will blossom into tomorrows leaders. Exercising fiscal responsibility, especially as we work to enhance our programs and facilities is vital to the success of Vision 2020.

- Rev. Thomas A. Pesci, S.J., President
