The entire Brother Martin community gathered to celebrate the foundation of the Brothers of the Sacred Heart 193 years ago in Lyon, France. Principal Greg Rando ’77 began the ceremony with the story of how the founder of the Brothers of the Sacred Heart founder, Andre’ Coindre helped two freezing children one night in France. Ordained Brother Louis Couvillon, S.C., was the celebrant; his homily elaborated on Mr. Rando’s remarks and seniors Garrett Boyd and Joshua Jouandot shared their own personal testimony of how the Brothers’ charism has helped shape their lives.
At the conclusion of the Foundation Day Liturgy, Chairman of the Board of Directors Judge Robert Burns, ’59 SA; School President John Devlin; and School Principal Greg Rando ’77 presented pins and plaques to this year’s academic scholarship recipients. Today’s celebration and Mass were fitting ways to recognize the rich tradition of the Brothers of the Sacred Heart worldwide and here in New Orleans and to prepare for the promise of the school’s bright future.
Afterward the scholarship recipients were treated to a breakfast social in the Brother Mark Thornton Terrace before heading back to class.
