Welcome In our 90th year we are blessed to have so much to celebrate. Of course, we wouldn't be here today without the strong foundation the Marian Fathers and Brothers built for us with their dedication, passion and sacrifice. Building on that strong foundation, the School’s community now has an amazing legacy worth celebrating. This issue will focus on where and how that legacy will grow as we enter the next 90 years and beyond. Our partnership with the Marians of the Immaculate Conception and their dedication to the growth of our school will allow us to continue our mission: educating young minds in the Catholic tradition with a commitment to faith in God. Over the last 90 years, the School has been through countless triumphs and tribulations. And while every day is a defining moment in the School’s history, the 90th celebration now ranks as one of those triumphant moments with the dedication of Gustavson Track & Field and the unifying gift from the Marians. I am so grateful to everyone from our past and present that came to celebrate with us on May 21st during Alumni Weekend. Having spent time with the members of the Class of 1956 during the dedication of the Class of 1956 room, it only validated and reinforced what the School stood and continues to stand for, that there needs to always be a school committed to its Catholic mission regardless of a student’s denomination. As you read the following pages you will learn more about the historic gift that the Marians have bestowed upon the School. This gift will maximize the use of existing buildings on campus to strengthen the Marianapolis experience for all students. It will allow us to realize parts of our campus plan sooner than we imagined. However, we will need your support. The emotions of the 90th celebration carried over into Baccalaureate Mass and the commencement ceremony. It was a beautiful weekend in honor of the Class of 2016. As we encourage all of our students to plan for their futures, we look forward to our own as well. In the last 90 years Marianapolis has made great strides in education, athletics, arts, and facilities, and as we move into the next chapter of our history, we are positioned to use our past as a launching point to grow Marianapolis in new and exciting ways. Warm Regards,
Joseph C. Hanrahan Head of School

Reunions are a time for rekindling long lost friendships, they provide an opportunity to reflect on personal growth, and they serve as a milestone highlighting the grandest achievements of a community; however, just occasionally, reunions celebrate the birth of a future born from a past of excellence. In Marianapolis’ 90th year of operation, the annual Alumni Weekend delivered on that front. “Today is a day of celebration, as we not only look back on our 90 year history, we are also planning for a strong and dynamic future,” said Head of School Joseph Hanrahan to a crowd of nearly 250 alumni, family, community members, and faculty. It was a celebration of accomplishments, both personal and as a school, a celebration of Marianapolis’ rich history with the Marians of the Immaculate Conception, and a celebratory homecoming for alumni. As Marianapolis continues its year-long celebration of its 90th anniversary, Alumni Weekend was the perfect opportunity for the community to reflect on how far the School has come in its 90 years, and how bright its future looks.
Members of the Class of 1966 celebrate their 50th reunion.
It was also a historic weekend full of exciting announcements. Earlier in the year it was announced that Marianapolis Athletic Director, Eric “G” Gustavson would be retiring from the role that he has held since 1986. He will continue to work at Marianapolis as a history teacher and will begin to take on fundraising initiatives within the Alumni and Development office. To culminate his many achievements over the past
30 years as head of the athletics department, Hanrahan announced at the 90th Celebration Luncheon that the new track and field would officially be named the Gustavson Track & Field. A visibly moved Gustavson was at a loss for words at the surprise. Surrounded by his family, as well as both current and former students, Gustavson said, “I really love the quote, ‘To those who much is given, much is expected.’ And I hope that I lived up to everyone’s expectations. Marianapolis has certainly given me a very, very great deal. The whole ride has been a lot of fun.” Following the 90th celebration, Gustavson cut the ceremonial ribbon, officially opening the Gustavson Track & Field. This serves as a permanent reminder of not only the achievements of Gustavson, but also the collective effort of the community to further the School’s strategic vision. In addition to the dedication of the Gustavson Track & Field, Hanrahan also announced that the Marians would generously donate their monastery and surrounding buildings plus an additional four acres of land to Marianapolis. “The growth of the last 30 years is truly something to celebrate,” said Hanrahan calling the donation the “greatest gift the School has ever received,” and that it “once again unifies our school community with
the Congregation of the Marians.” This gift propels us to revisit our campus plan and accelerates its realization. “Education is very important to the Marians,” said Br. Brian Manian, MIC. “We want to support Marianapolis to continue to see it grow, both spiritually and academically. I’d love to see Marianapolis around not just for 100 years or 200 years, but forever.” Adding to the parade of presentations and also riveting alumni soccer and lacrosse games, The Class of 1956 had a special gift for the School to mark their 60th reunion: the Class of 1956 Room, which is located in the Dining & Community Room. Later that evening, alumni of all decades gathered together to honor retiring math faculty member, Patricia Guilbault who retires after 15 years of service to Marianapolis. Her years of service to the School were celebrated by the lives she enhanced, both faculty and students alike. As the weekend came to a close, both current and former students departed from the campus invigorated by the School’s astounding growth, which seemingly has no end. “This is a wonderfully powerful and dynamic time in our school’s history,” Hanrahan told alumni. “We will look back on this time, and the generations will look back, as a defining moment in our history.”
The Gustavson family are all smiles on this momentous day.

THANK YOU PAT Patricia “Pat” Guilbault first began teaching at Marianapolis in the fall of 2001. To most, she may be best known as the resident statistics teacher. She was instrumental in developing the statistics program at Marianapolis and receiving approval from the College Board for an AP Statistics class in 2007, which has grown in numbers from 19 to 32. Pat also taught Algebra I, Algebra II, and Trigonometry. During her years she was involved as the advisor to the Student Council, the Freshman Class Dean, the National Honor Society moderator, and the statistics club advisor. She was also very active outside of the classroom, as a leader on two service trips to New Orleans in 2007 and 2008, L.E.A.P. Week trips to New Orleans, Montreal, and Charleston, S.C. and spring break trips to France and Ireland, and England and Wales. In 2014, she was the recipient of the Trinity Foundation Faculty Award. "She had the ability to make learning both challenging and fun,” said former student Ryan Werge ’11. “I always wanted to learn more when she introduced a topic, which is definitely a rare characteristic to have as a teacher." When asked what she would miss the most about Marianapolis, she responded simply, “the students!” Pat Guilbault and former students Abe Gustavson ’07 and Ben Gaudet ’12.
CLASS OF 1956 The celebrations continued at Marianapolis with the dedication of the Class of 1956 Room, in conjunction with the class’ 60th reunion. Located in the Dining & Community Room, the space is utilized as a meeting location and study room. Through the great efforts of Board Member Rae Patria ’56, the room was made possible. "1956 was the 25th Marianapolis Preparatory School graduating class signified by the round silver shields on each side of our rings. It was only proper and fitting that a room be named for our class where pictures of our classmates can be viewed in the absence of a yearbook," said Rae Patria. “What this room signifies to our current community is that there is a past, and it is rich,” said Hanrahan. “We don’t exist without our current students and our past students.” Patria took on the task of tracking down classmates in order to create a composite photo of the class which was no easy feat given the lack of a yearbook.

It is only through the steadfast support of generations of donors that Marianapolis Prep has been able to become the truly remarkable educational institution that it is today. The MFund directly impacts the quality of a Marianapolis education. In 2015-2016, a focus of our MFund was on raising money for the track and turf field. This addition will not only enhance the campus for our students today, but for generations to come. Whether you gave to Gustavson Track & Field or another area, we are so grateful to each of you who supported the Marianapolis Fund in any way that was meaningful to you!

Graduation
Eyes Set on the Future
Commencement 2016
10
Even a little bit of rain couldn’t dampen the celebratory mood inside the graduation tent as the Class of 2016 began their commencement exercises. This year’s graduation was a culmination of a year-long celebration of Marianapolis’ past, present, and future. As end of school year activities closed out in the previous days, the future graduates were looking forward to the ceremony that would - bittersweetly - begin their life outside of Marianapolis. Hannah Listerud, the class salutatorian, reminisced on the past four years with classmates who became more like family. “We grew up together, in our most formative years, and as a result, have had a profound influence on each other. We would not be the same without each other. We have celebrated victories and dealt with loss, together.” In the fall, Hannah will start at the University of Pennsylvania where she will study either biochemistry or molecular biology with a minor in Spanish while on a pre-med track. She hopes to one-day work as a physician in a program like Doctors Without Borders. Having recently celebrated his 50th reunion from Marianapolis, commencement speaker Deacon Karl Buder ’66 spoke to the Class of 2016 about the importance of glancing in the “rear view mirror of life.” “When I sat where you now sit, at that stage of my life, my eyes were set straight ahead, down the road of life that stretched like an endless ribbon in front of me. I didn’t glance in the rear view mirror of life because, at the age of 17, there simply was not much for me to see in the past. My life was all in front of me.” He continued that after many years he became dissatisfied and finally looked in his rear view mirror and was drawn back to Marianapolis, and several Marian priests who profoundly impacted him. He eventually found his way back to the Catholic church and was ordained a deacon. “Appreciate, more and more, that your Marianapolis education has given you an excellent academic experience, but of greater importance, you have received the building blocks of a life of true moral integrity,” Deacon Buder concluded. Echoing Deacon Buder’s sentiments, valedictorian Sarah Cavar urged her fellow peers to “choose the life that is yours.” She emphasized that material success does not always lead to happiness. “I urge you to think about what it is that fulfills you. To choose not that which makes you the best, but what makes you happy,” she said. Sarah will be attending Mount Holyoke College where she is interested in studying numerous subjects including

Days before the ceremony, the Class of 2016 was able to participate in the official opening of Gustavson Track & Field, a truly memorable experience for the graduates to witness. Senior Class President Andrew Ford announced that the senior class will be donating a portable scoreboard to the new Gustavson Track & Field. In addition, Student Council President Dante Turo announced the student council gift as equipment for the track and field. “We feel so proud to have been students here for the dedication of Gustavson Track & Field,” Turo said. “The new track and field will be a place for future athletic competitions as well as an extension of the campus we have known for our time here. We believe all students will benefit from this addition.” Before the diplomas were conferred, Head of School Joseph Hanrahan gave his farewell to the Class of 2016. He began by recounting the first time Marianapolis’ fledgling crew team practiced on the water four years ago. He described a scene of “zigging and zagging, and weeble and wobbling,” and a resulting “rescue mission” to bring the novice team safely to shore. Four years later, a more seasoned crew team recently swept a home meet “with great precision, athleticism, and perfectly timed strokes.” “You have all grown stronger. I am beaming with pride for all of you today. The crew team’s growth is symbolic of the growth you have all achieved, both individually and collectively.” He continued, “It will be your responsibility to be part of pioneering movements in all fields of study and social causes. Trailblazing is not easy but you are ready. Keep your faith. God will never leave you stranded. Marianapolis will never stop being your home.”

ARTS
BOYS’ VARSITY BASKETBALL
The boys’ varsity basketball team saw a tough season with a final record of 5-19 and 3-8 in Class B. Despite this, the team fought hard and worked to get better each day. The team is optimistic for its future, with the return of seven players. The team was led in scoring by Joe DelRicci ’17 with an average of 18.7 points per game, in rebounding by senior Dominique Senat with 9.6 rebounds per game, and in assists by Sebastian Ntansah ’16 with 3.9 assists per game. The team will lose seniors Kevin Tata, Tyler Lefebvre, Andrew Ford, Johnny Hatem, Senat, and Ntansah.
WINTER ATHLETICS
GIRLS’ VARSITY BASKETBALL
The girls finished the season with a 13-13 record, and 12-12 in NEPSAC. The team earned a #7 seed in the Class A tournament, which is the highest seed earned thus far. Sadly, the girls lost the quarterfinal NEPSAC match to #2 Worcester Academy, 54-82, ending their season. The season saw two victories over rival Pomfret, and a 51-41 win over #4 New Hampton on senior night. Despite losing Caroline Soucy and Samantha Ellis to graduation, the team remains strong with returning players, and leading scorers, Jordan Frye ’17, Nicole Anderson ’17, and Olivia Summiel ’19.
16
WRESTLING
The wrestling team compiled a record of 14-13 in its inaugural season in the Eastern Independent League. Inexperience and a smaller team proved to be challenges in the beginning of the season as the group faced tough losses to more experienced teams. Individually, the team had a remarkable season. Two wrestlers placed in a tough Northern New England Invitational; five made it to the finals of the EIL championship tournament with three champions crowned; and five qualified for the New England Tournament. All of these results tied or exceeded previous marks for the program. Harry Holte ’16 also qualified and advanced in the National Prep School Championships at the end of the season. The wrestling team is poised for a great season next year, losing only two seniors, Holte and Cory Pacheco to graduation.
INDOOR TRACK & FIELD The Indoor Track & Field team has been steadily growing over the past few years. The addition of an outdoor track on campus was crucial to the team's success. With a very mild winter outdoor training was very feasible on a regular basis. The team was led by senior captains Reed Hopkins, Kayla Bolduc, and Riley Collette. The team saw a great number of individual personal records and scored substantial points in a wide variety of events at all meets. Freshman sensation Emma Pickett was a standout performer in the 1,000 meter, rookie Zongxuan "Dominic” Cao ’19 was a leader in the 50 meter dash, Chenyi “Heloise” Xu ’17 was exemplary in the 50 meter dash and Reed Hopkins ’16 continued to be a star performer in the shot put.
SUB-VARSITY
The boys’ JV basketball team finished with a 9-6 league record, which included capturing the SENE JV Tournament title at Rocky Hill School. • The boys’ 3rds basketball team had a tremendous season with a 10-4 record. Notable wins included an early victory over Rectory School, a key late season win over St. George’s and a gritty road win over St. Andrew’s. • The girls’ JV basketball team had an extremely successful season with an impressive 10-2 record. The most notable win of the season was a 50-44 victory over Providence Country Day’s varsity squad in which the Knights were down for the first time all season before charging back to win. • The girls’ 3rds basketball team enjoyed a season of 9 games, compiling a record of 4-5. The girls finished up the season with three consecutive wins against MacDuffie School, Ethel Walker, and Miss Hall’s School.
BASEBALL
SOFTBALL
The baseball team started the 2016 season by upsetting baseball giant Kingswood-Oxford 6-1 and ended the season with a 9-6 record. During the regular season the Knights had 4 comeback wins while giving up 2 victories in the last inning. For the second year in a row, the Knights traveled to East Providence for the SENE Championship and fell short of the title to Providence Country Day School. Christian Cutroni, post-graduate Roberto Valentini, George Murphy, Kevin Tata and Ryan Barishian leave a tremendous gap in the lineup due to graduation. However, the Knights have six starters returning and promising underclassmen.
The varsity softball team had a season full of tough competition and finished with a 4-10 record. Wins over rivals Pomfret, Hamden Hall, Westover and Portsmouth Abbey highlighted the season. The team was led by senior captains Madison Snyder and Megan Tarantino and their classmates Christina Doherty and Samantha Ellis. The future is extremely bright for Marianapolis softball as returning players include rising seniors Taylor Pacheco, an all-league player this year, at shortstop, Madison Bodreau at first base, Jordan Buell in left field, and Olivia Gould at catcher. The JV softball team saw a successful season with a final record of 4-0.
SPRING ATHLETICS
Girls’ varsity lacrosse ended their season with an overall record of 4-9-2. Senior captains Kellyn Snow, Francesca Lupini and Marie Thibodeau celebrated four years on the team and were awarded medals for their commitment and dedication to the program. Following the lead of these tremendous captains, this year’s team more than doubled their wins compared to last season and triumphed over many teams that they were previously not able to compete with in past seasons. The talent this year came from players from all grade levels and experience and has offered a wealth of resources and depth for the seasons to come.
The boys’ varsity lacrosse team had a historic season, reaching the SENE championship game for the first time in the program’s history. The team finished with a record of 6-3, 3-1 in the SENE, and went 1-1 in the playoffs beating St. Andrew’s School 9-8, but ultimately losing to Hyde School (CT) 9-10 in the SENE championship game. The Knights set many program records, including the following: first winning season, most wins, first winning SENE season, most SENE wins, first playoff victory, first championship appearance, and first undefeated record at home.
GIRLS’ LACROSSE
BOYS’ LACROSSE
BOYS’ TENNIS
GIRLS’ TENNIS
Boys’ varsity tennis enjoyed a successful season led by captains Fangzhou “Andy” Liu ’17 and Zhangyuan “Vincent” Gao ’16. The squad finished with a 9-6 record, including a 5-5 mark in the SENE. Liu paced the team with 11 victories, followed by junior Zeliang “John” Hu with an impressive 10 wins. Road victories over MacDuffie School, Winchendon School, and Rectory School (first win against them since 2011) highlighted the non-league schedule, while a pair of impressive wins over St. Andrew’s School helped the Knights reach .500 within the league.
The girls’ tennis team ended the season with a respectable 3-3 record despite inclement weather cancelling or postponing most of their matches and limiting their practice time. The Knights closed the season playing for the first time in the Suffield Academy Invitational. The team loses four seniors including co-captains Marina Kawasaki and Camile Harvanek, as well as Di “Nicole” Xie and Polina Bogdanova.
SPRING ATHLETICS
The Track and Field team had a historic season as both the boys' and girls' teams were SENE champions, the first time Marianapolis has won the division in the school’s history. The SENE championship saw 38 personal records and 13 SENE event champions for Marianapolis. At the Division III NEPSTA New England Championship, the girls team tied for tenth, another historic best. With the construction of a track and field on campus completed in May of 2016, the program is eager to enjoy its new home. The team is proud to be hosting the Odell (SENE & EIL Championship) Meet in May of 2017.
TRACK & FIELD
The Ultimate Frisbee team enjoyed a successful 11-14 season, placing 7th in New England with a 3-1 showing at the New England Prep School Ultimate Tournament to end their season. The Knights brought home hardware in the form of two Spirit Awards from two early season tournaments, at Master’s School and in the first annual Marianapolis Mini Tournament. The team will lose 4-year senior players Joel Cheney, William LaFiandra, and Delainey O’Connor but remains strong in the hands of rising junior captains Myles Wagner and Maxwell Underhill.
ULTIMATE FRISBEE
BADMINTON In its first ever season, badminton had an impressive 4-3 record. In the final tournament against Winchendon and MacDuffie, the team finished in a close second. Hanyuan “Tony” Tong ’18 and Keqin “Leo” Wang ’17, as well as Chi-Ni “Kiki” Wu ’16 and JinYung “Jimmy” Chu ’17, went undefeated this season in their boys’ doubles and mixed doubles matches. The team is poised for a strong winter season, but loses six seniors in Xixi “Cici” Du, Lam “Cathy” Chan, Wu, Jin Feng “Jorge” Wang Qiu, Mengwen Yan and Meng “Jason” Zhang.
GOLF The golf team ended the season with a record of 5-5 in the SENE and 6-8 overall. The Knights earned a 4th place standing in the SENE Championship at the Carnegie Abbey Club in Portsmouth, Rhode Island, where co-captain Tyler Carlson ’17 shot a 78 (7over par) to earn a spot on the 1st team in the SENE. The team will say goodbye to graduating seniors Isabella DiNoia, Matthew Walker, and Matthew Panagiotou. The JV Golf team ended the season with a 0-3 record.
SPRING ATHLETICS The boys’ crew team had a strong spring season. The first boat, comprised of seniors, had three first place victories, while the second boat had two first place victories. The team will lose seniors Christopher Lundt, Patryk Kalinowksi, Bennet Sage, and Harry Holte, several of whom were founding members of the program. The team is excited for its future with returning underclassmen Gregory Swift ’18 and Yiqin “Nathan” Li ’18. Also instrumental in the success of the team was Coxswain of the Year, Olivia Duncan ’19.
BOYS’ CREW
Girls’ crew had a successful spring season with an experienced first boat. The team’s proudest achievement of the season was to remain undefeated in home races with the second boat even managing to oust Thayer’s varsity crew team. Graduating from the program this year are senior captain Sage Latour, and second boat stern pair Doreen Reagan and Kayla Bolduc, who have all been instrumental in the growth of the program. Rising senior Simone Fournier will lead the team next year as captain, with three of four oarsmen returning.

On Friday, February 12, Marianapolis welcomed Mr. Charles Randolph, Deputy Director of the Office of International Intellectual Property Enforcement to speak with students, as part of the Marilyn S. Ebbitt Speaker Series. Mr. Randolph has an extensive career that has taken him all over the world as a U.S. diplomat. He recently finished a post in Afghanistan in August of 2015 and currently holds a position at the State Department. His specialty within the diplomatic corps is economics.
A LESSON IN DIPLOMACY
Mr. Randolph spoke to students at an all-school assembly about his experiences as a diplomat, which has taken him to Afghanistan, France, Sweden, Kazakhstan, Russia, South Africa, Mali, and China, among others. “Being a diplomat, you have to remember that it’s a way of life,” Mr. Randolph said. “You are the representative of your country 24 hours a day.” Mr. Randolph also spoke about his experiences living through the HIV/ AIDS epidemic in Malawi, saying, “I’ve never been to a place where so many people around me were dying.” In 1995, he was stationed in Burundi, a neighboring country of Rwanda, shortly after the Rwandan genocide. “It was a full scale civil war when I arrived,” he recalled. “Honestly it was the first time in my life that I was scared and realized that I could get killed doing this kind of work.” Following his speech, students were allowed to ask him questions about his career and experiences. Students were able to get one-on-one time with Mr. Randolph as he met with classes throughout the day. Head of School Mr. Joe Hanrahan presented Mr. Randolph with the Marilyn S. Ebbitt Speaker Series medal, saying “Thank you for coming and thank you for your support.”

INTERNATIONAL DAY 2016
On Friday, February 19, the Marianapolis community celebrated International Day to help students understand all of the different cultures within the community.

Throughout the day, students participated in multiple sessions where they explored different cultural customs. Subjects such as International Music and International Food were examined. Will Aldenberg ’18, said,“It was a nice experience and I’m excited for it to possibly happen next year.” After the morning sessions, students met by grade level to discuss what culture is and how it plays a role in our lives, especially at Marianapolis. For lunch, students were able to reflect on the day and enjoy different international foods and a large display of cupcakes that was provided by the MOMs (Mothers of Marianapolis) group. Ms. Bei Zhang, International Student Coordinator, was responsible for most of the planning for International Day. “The main goal of this day is to encourage the day students to interact and get to know those who are from other countries,” Ms. Zhang said. “Instead of getting to know about the entire culture, it is better to get to know certain individuals in order to get their view.”

As for the future of International Day, Ms. Zhang said, “We want everyday to be International Day, and we want the students to continue the conversation in order to learn who their friends, classmates, and who the faculty are and where they come from.”

Jack Perkins ’96
Jack Perkins ’96 has found a way to combine his life’s greatest passions: art and sports. Perkins is currently living in Los Angeles, California and is a Retake Director on the hit animated sitcom “Family Guy.” If his name sounds familiar, it is because he is the son of longtime Marianapolis art teacher, Tom Perkins. After Marianapolis, Perkins received his Bachelor of Arts in Illustration at Rhode Island School of Design. Since moving to California after college, Perkins has worked on a number of shows including “King of the Hill,” “The Simpsons,” “The Cleveland Show,” “Murder Police,” “Border Town,” and “American Dad.” As a Retake Director at “Family Guy,” Perkins is in charge of making edits to the show before it is aired. “Basically the show is laid out and drawn here and then sent to Korea for all the in between animation and color,” Perkins explained. “Then it gets brought back in full video form at which point there will be some things that were done incorrectly, or things that we can push for better animation, or the writers see that a joke is not working or part of the story isn’t working. So we rewrite that part of the script and my job will be to incorporate whatever changes we want to make at that point before it is ready to be aired.” Even though he has spent the majority of his career in animation, Perkins has begun a side venture through his business Pure Hoop. Through Pure Hoop, Perkins creates different illustrations of NBA players that are then sold as prints and apparel. “Pure Hoop is the most rewarding thing for me right now,” said Perkins. “When I was a little kid I guess I liked to draw dinosaurs and fire trucks but I’ve always been really into sports, mostly basketball. Getting to merge the two things I love - sports and art - has been really rewarding.” He is currently working with Posterizes.com, an online NBA magazine that showcases basketball through art and design. He also does freelance work for Bleacher Report. Seeing NBA players wearing his designs, such as Blake Griffin of the Clippers, is the ultimate achievement. Perkins' love for art started at a young age, cultivated by his father. “It was nice being the art teacher’s son, having art supplies for days on hand,” he said. “When I look at our styles I think they are pretty different. He definitely had an influence on me, but I think we have our own styles for sure.” For students who are interested in animation, Perkins recommends making plenty of connections during college to build a strong network, and “If it’s something you really want to do and you are passionate about it, do it as often as you can.” To check out some of his artwork, visit purehoop.bigcartel.com.

IN MEMORIAM Rev. Joseph A. Dilion ’39, retired pastor of St. Brendan’s Church in New Haven, CT passed away on Jan. 19, 2016. He continued his
education at St. Thomas Seminary and received his bachelor’s degree in Economics and Sacred Theology from St. Mary’s University in Baltimore. He was ordained on June 29, 1946.

So successful was Father Dilion’s “miracle” that, in 1990, the U.S. Dept. of Education recognized St. Brendan’s School as a National School of Excellence. He is survived by numerous nieces and nephews and a sister-in-law, Mary Dilion, all of whom he loved dearly and who loved him.
