During their sophomore year, ten members of the Class of 2011 decided to get serious about almsgiving during Lent. Their sophomore Christian Scripture teacher and Religion Department Chair Christine Ring discussed Lenten practices and the meaning of almsgiving and suggested ways for the students to live out the practices. One suggestion was for the students to collect their leftover change after purchasing lunch each day and send the collected funds to a charity of their choice. This group of students, now juniors, who ate lunch together every day, took the suggestion seriously. They collected their change every day throughout Lent, and continued to do so for the remainder of the 2008-2009 school year and throughout the entire 2009-2010 year. On the last day of school this year, these generous students donated the funds to Mercy Beyond Borders, an organization that partners with displaced women and children overseas in ways that alleviate their extreme poverty. Inspired by the experience of the Sisters of Mercy who work globally with the poor, the organization is committed to working in refugee assistance and advocacy. The Lauralton students’ donation was earmarked for the ministry with the women and children of the Sudan.  Class of 2010 graduates Posted on Jun 07, 2010

Among the 104 young women who received graduation diplomas were Valedictorian Lia Bonacci, Salutatorian Emily Ruggeri and Catherine McAuley Award winner Amanda Rodrigues.

Lauralton Hall has been awarded a Historic Preservation Technical Assistance Grant (HPTAG) from the CT Trust for Historic Preservation. This is the second grant the school has received from the state to aid in restoring the historic barn. Presented by Helen Higgins, Executive Director of the CT Trust for Historic Preservation, the grant will assist the school in the cost of preparing bid level architectural plans and specifications for the restoration and re-use of the barn. The money comes to the school as a “matching grant” and thanks to the generosity of various donors and Lauralton Hall supporters, the match has already been met, creating a total of $27,400 to use toward the next phase in the renovation process. Interim Director of Development Patricia J. Rooney, RSM, ’54 states that “we are thrilled to be receiving so much support from the state of Connecticut as well as from local historic organizations, the City of Milford, and loyal Lauralton donors. We look forward to their continued partnership, the support of the entire Lauralton family and the Milford community as we move ahead in the restoration process which is expected to take a few years to complete.” |
