This morning, the Brother Martin High School community gathered in the Robert M. Conlin Gymnasium to celebrate the Foundation Day of the Brothers of the Sacred Heart with a beautiful liturgy. Our school community joined a number of international Brothers schools in celebration of Foundation Day.
Today, we paused in thanksgiving for the vision of Father Andre’ Coindre, the Brothers' founder, and the charism bestowed upon him by the Holy Spirit. His vision and this charism spread from Lyon, France to over 30 countries and more than 200 schools across the world. We were blessed to have Father Tony Rigoli preside over our liturgy today.
After the liturgy, our President, Mr. Gregory Rando '77, and Principal, Mr. Ryan Gallagher '00, handed a pin and plaque to students who have been awarded academic scholarships this year. Academic scholarships are awarded to incoming 8th and 9th-grade students who have demonstrated an outstanding academic profile throughout their elementary/middle school years and who scored well on our high school placement test.
Congratulations to our Crusaders for their achievements in academia and for modeling Academic Excellence for our entire school community.
From Brother Ronald Hingle, S.C., Provincial of the U.S. Province of the Brothers of the Sacred Heart:
