The entire Brother Martin community gathered in the Robert Conlin Gymnasium this Friday to celebrate the Foundation of the Brothers of the Sacred Heart, which took place on September 30, 1821 in Lyon, France. Ordained Brother Louis Couvillon, S.C., gave a brief history of the Brothers in the United States and called all Brothers present to sing their traditional song “Anime de l ’amour.” Additionally, Kenny Spellman ’84, Alumni Director, introduced the newly elected members of the Alumni Board of Directors who will serve to support the school and its relationship with thousands of alumni of St. Aloysius, Cor Jesu, and Brother Martin High Schools. Finally, 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 the newest 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 terrace and the newly appointed Alumni Board shared coffee and donuts in the Alumni and Development Office.
