South Boston Catholic Academy News Welcome!

2016-09-15T10:11:12-04:00September 15th, 2016|Categories: Featured, News|Comments Off on South Boston Catholic Academy News Welcome!

On September 7 we welcomed our K2 to 6 grade students, families, faculty and staff to another wonderful school year of faith, family and academic excellence at South Boston Catholic Academy.  In the morning we gathered in the school yard, with our school community for morning prayer. In the classroom, Ms. McCarthy read "First Day Jitters" by Julie Danneberg to her brand new first graders. We were not expecting the surprise ending! After a class discussion, we learned that many of us had the jitters on our first day of school - including Ms. McCarthy!  We took care of that by learning a new poem called, "Jitter Juice."  Of course, we then had to make jitter juice. It was extra fun when we got to [...]

SBAA September Meeting

2016-09-15T09:52:08-04:00September 15th, 2016|Categories: News|Comments Off on SBAA September Meeting

The SBAA (South Boston Arts Association) held its monthly meeting last Saturday morning. As soon as SBAA President Dan McCole opened the meeting, it became immediately evident that community activity was a key topic. One important business item was the pursuit of a South Boston center for the arts – perhaps in one wing of the proposed new development on Summer Street, where the mothballed power plant now sits. Dan thanked Nancy Maggs for her striking poster about the mural painted by 11 SBAA artists on the Harry McDonough Sailing Center’s north. Look for yourself; it’s easily seen across Pleasure Bay. The SBAA’s new Public Relations Director, Janice Williams from Roslindale, was then introduced. Janice is pictured to the right in the photo above. She [...]

Remembering Lori Miller

2016-09-15T09:41:44-04:00September 15th, 2016|Categories: News|Comments Off on Remembering Lori Miller

As you might imagine, our memories of Lori Miller were mostly connected with the articles South Boston Online wrote about her and her incredibly valuable efforts and accomplishments  in the South Boston community.        She was a South Boston dynamo; she is already sorely missed. Born into another loyal South Boston family as Lori A. Mirisola, she had deep, deep roots here.  As sad as it was to hear of Lori’s passing, the words used in her obituary were an inspiring tribute to her life – words such as “legendary”, “cherished”, “grace and courage rarely seen”, “spirited and generous”,  “beloved, respected, and actively involved”, “richly blessed”, “always up for a new adventure”, and “paying her blessings forward”.  Every one of those words is [...]

2016-09-15T09:38:15-04:00September 15th, 2016|Categories: Featured, Happenings|Comments Off on 9-11, Fifteen Years Later

Last Sunday, September 11, 2016, was cloudy and humid, although it was nothing like the drencher on September 11 last year. The Boston Public Garden was a welcome green space, after our long summer drought. Shortly before 7:30 a.m., a crowd of perhaps 200 or more gathered at the site of the 9-11 Memorial to the right of the Garden’s Arlington Street entrance. They were there to take part in the 2016 Memorial Ceremony – the 15th such event. Among the attendees were Governor Charlie Baker, Lt.-Gov. Karyn Polito, and Mayor Marty Walsh. The 9-11 Memorial – “The people of Massachusetts will always remember … “ - is something like a grotto. One can sit and contemplate the sweep of the granite scroll containing the [...]
