FROM THE

HEAD OF SCHOOL

e have all heard the expression “Be the best you can be” – the best person; the best student, dancer, singer, athlete; the best…anything. But how does being the best you can be differ from

“living your best life?” I think it means, in the words of St. Francis de Sales, “not to live in ourselves, but out of ourselves and above ourselves.” It means finding your passion and using your God-given potential to make that passion a reality. In this issue of Panther Tracks, you will meet some of those in the PVI community who are living their best lives. In addition to the school news we share, there are stories about alumni who live outside themselves by giving back in public service and using the power of storytelling to bring more compassion to the world. You will meet a current student who lived her best life this summer through participation in animal conservation in Costa Rica. And, as this issue contains the Annual Report, we acknowledge all who financially support our school, support our mission, and help our students develop their potential so they can live their best lives. By the way, in case you haven’t heard, we received a promotion! Blessed Paul VI became St. Paul VI on October 14. How wonderful to have three Saints to guide us: St. Francis de Sales, St. Jane de Chantel, and St. Paul VI! Everyone in the PVI community, including three new Board members and nine new teachers and staff, help us each and every day to live our best lives. How gratifying that when our time on this earth ends, we will not have to, in the words of St. Pius X, “render an account for time lost, talents unused and good not done.” We will have lived our best lives!

Members of the Paul VI Community Make Pilgrimage to Rome for the Canonization of Pope Paul VI

ope Paul VI, our school’s namesake, was canonized on October 14. Members of the Paul VI community were blessed to make a pilgrimage to Rome for the canonization. 18 students, 4 staff, 8 parents and friends

accompanied Father Schultz, PVI Chaplain, and Joyce Krolicki, Coordinator of Campus Ministry, for a week in Italy.

The group visited many beautiful churches and sites in Rome and spent one day in Assisi. In Rome, the pilgrims visited many churches, saw St. Peter’s Square and Basilica, and took a tour of the Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel. Fr. Schultz offered Mass at the tomb of St. Peter in the Vatican Grotto for the intentions prayed every day at school; for alumni, benefactors, families, everyone at St. Paul VI,

our current and future neighbors, and all our future students. The groups prayed at the tomb of St. Paul VI, who is buried in the Vatican Grotto. For a day-trip to Assisi, they visited the Basilicas of St. Francis, St. Clare, and St. Mary of the Angels. The pilgrims also prayed at the tombs of some great saints: St. Paul, St. Peter, St. Catherine of Siena, St. Ignatius of Loyola, St. Francis, St. Clare. Finally, Fr. Schultz offered Mass in the

On the day of the Canonization, the PVI pilgrims waited in line at 5 a.m. to go through security and take their seats. By the time Mass started at 10 a.m., St. Peter’s Square was filled with other pilgrims from all over the world. Pope Paul VI was canonized with Archbishop Oscar Romero of El Salvador, religious sisters Nazaria Ignacia March Mesa and Maria Katharina Kasper, parish priests Francesco Spinelli and Vincent Romano, and layman Nunzio Sulprizio, who died at the age of 19. Pope Paul VI beatified both Maria Katharina Kasper and Nunzio Sulprizio during his pontificate.

The Power of Storytelling Justine Fink ’08 “How many times have you related so deeply to a character and felt like you understand what they are going through? You find yourself crying as you experience their struggle or smiling as you watch their celebration?” asks Justine Fink ’08. “Stories have the power to connect us to our emotions, to our hearts, and to other people. Through storytelling, we realize the commonality of pain, human suffering, and celebration we all share.” Justine is currently the Marketing and Branding Director for New Balloon, a company that leverages moving picture content as a means of encouraging connectivity, compassion, and conversation. In her role at New Balloon, Justine works with the New Balloon team to use the power of storytelling to design experiences and materials that break down boundaries, bring groups together and encourage people to become their best selves.

Justine Fink '08

“From virtual reality experiences, to documentaries, to major motion pictures, our company is focused on creating experiences around stories of personal HYROXWLRQ WKDW KDYH WKH DELOLW\ WR WUDQVIRUP OLYHV ï to inspire more empathy and compassion within and among us,” Justine explains.

This past year, Justine ran screening experiences for several films, including Crown Heights and the documentary Dealt. Crown Heights tells the true story of an innocent man who went to prison for 20 years for a murder he did not commit, while Dealt details the life of Richard Turner, who became the world’s greatest card magician, despite being completely blind. Justine and her colleagues organized screening experiences around these films, leading audiences through interactive exercises designed to help them peel back their layers, examine their biases, and see things from a new perspective. “All of the screening experiences I’m fortunate to work on encourage audiences to be vulnerable, to look inward, and recognize their own hindering thought patterns or stories of selfblame. Our belief is that if we can heal the rifts within ourselves, ultimately, we can have less separation and more compassion in our world.” Justine credits two PVI classes for helping inspire her career path, the first being Mr. Latter’s Marketing course. “My grade was about a 99%, which was highly abnormal for me at the time! I loved how Mr. Latter started every class with a story, it taught me how to market new ideas and products to people and make them stick. That class is a big reason I majored in marketing at James Madison.”

Dealt event

“I want to create spaces for true selfreflection, spaces for active listening to others, spaces where people feel safe and free to see God in each other.”

Justine Fink '08 tests new augmented and virtual reality at the Sundance Film Festival

Justine was also inspired by Dr. Weimer’s website design class. “This was the first time I fell in love with design and the aesthetics of brands. I remember Dr. Weimer telling me, ‘You are really good at this. I hope you continue developing this skill.’ I’ve kept this passion alive through both my professional and personal endeavors.” In addition to academic inspiration, Justine values the strong relationships she formed at Paul VI. “When I think about PVI, I think about the community. I made so many amazing friends that I’m still close with today. My best friends from PVI also just recently introduced me to my husbandto-be!” In addition to her strong friendships, Justine is grateful for the support of her family. “I wouldn’t be where I am today without my incredible family and parents Richard and Mary. My parents were always at the Friday night games to watch me dance, always there for Homecoming and Prom pictures and the big moments in my life. They let me stand on my own and supported me and my creative ideas. I’m so grateful for them.” When asked what currently motivates her, Justine reflects, “I want to add more healing to the world. I look around and I see a lot of divisiveness, a lot of judgment, and dualistic topics – what if both are right in different ways? What about all of the murky shades of grey we aren’t seeing?” “I want to create spaces for true self-reflection, spaces for active listening to others, spaces where people feel safe and free to see God in each other.” S t.

As Simon said, “We’ve all been there, looking at that rejection letter, wondering if our hard work meant anything. But God has a plan for all of us. Suffering has a beauty in itself, as it brings everyone together; I am grateful that the support from this school community was there when I had those down days.” Sarah D’Esposo, Salutatorian, encouraged her classmates to think beyond the things that we can so quickly use to measure our success. “At the end of the day, the summation of your person is based on how well you love others and how much happiness you find. It doesn’t matter how much money you make or how big your house is; it matters how much you lift up other people, how much you serve others, and how much you give of yourself to make this world better.” You can’t Google these quotes. You won’t see them on Pinterest or printed and framed at HomeGoods. However, I have no doubt that the students walking these halls will one day be the voices and names behind something hanging on the walls of my friend’s home. And when I see that, I will smile with pride and gratitude for everyone who supports Paul VI. Thank you, for the $10 gifts, the $20,000 gifts, and everything in between; for your input, guidance, and passion for St. Paul VI Catholic High School. I am not only confident in the future of Paul VI because of you, I am excited about it, and proud to call PVI home. Kate (Grimm) Andreottola ‘94 Director of Advancement

Benefit Dinner & Auction Raises Spirits and Funds for Paul VI The PVI community of parents, alumni, faculty, staff and friends gathered to celebrate at the “Beer, Bourbon and BBQ” Benefit Dinner & Auction on Saturday, April 28, 2018.

PVI’s “Original Three” – Dennis Hutson, Denny Kline and Rich Taylor, who have been at Paul VI since the school opened – were the evening honorees. In addition to a moving video, founding principal Rev. Don Heet, OSFS took to the stage to speak about each of their legacies. Attendees enjoyed beer and bourbon tastings, barbecue from Ripe Hospitality, and both live and silent auctions. The evening ended with live music by The TBD Band, which included PVI parents. The event raised over $110,000 for PVI. The Fund the Program portion of the evening supported PVI’s new engineering program, which launched this Fall in conjunction with Project Lead the Way.

Kiersten Caputy joins Advancement Team as Annual Fund Manager

think I always knew that I was destined to work in a school. My mother was an elementary school teacher for 37 years, and my father spent 35 years coaching boys’ soccer and baseball and teaching high school physical education. As a child, I loved going to work with

them, and spent much of my time with both of my parents at their respective schools. After completing my post-secondary education playing lacrosse at George Mason University and receiving a master’s degree from Liberty University, I soon found myself back in school, as an Admissions Associate at a K-12, all-girls, independent school in Baltimore, MD. Four years in the Admissions world greatly prepared me for my new position at Paul VI, and I immediately knew that this is where I was supposed to be. I am most excited about 'officially' becoming a part of the Panther Family. My

with PVI’s strong sense of community, camaraderie, and commitment to serving others. This emphasis on unity and service to others allows our students to forge lasting relationships with one another. This is something that is not found at many schools, and makes working at Paul VI all the more fulfilling.

In my role as Annual Fund Manager, my goal is to raise awareness and increase the generous support of the Fund for Paul VI.

In my role as Annual Fund Manager, my goal is to raise awareness and increase the generous support of the Fund for Paul VI. Support for the Fund is necessary to sustain the school’s daily operations through enriched academic programs, faculty development, and tuition assistance. Each gift to PVI helps enhance every aspect of student life both in and out of the classroom. It is my hope that everyone who has a connection

to the PVI community realizes how much we depend on their generous support in order to continue the tradition of excellence for our present and future Panthers. Gifts of every size make an immediate and meaningful impact!"
