As we look to
Xavier’s future we
hope to continue
to promote the best
possible Catholic
Xaverian high
school education
possible, and
we plan to have
the best possible
facilities we can to
serve the needs of
our students.
Dear Members of the Xavier Community,
Last week I was being interviewed by our students who produce Falcon Talk, and a question
was “what do I think Xavier will look like fifty years from now?” My response was that since
fifty years from now I would be 117 years old it isn’t what I think it will look like that is
important. It is an important question for those who will be our alumni then and hopefully
will be Xavier supporters.
What I do know is what Xavier will look like two years from now. At the Gala celebrating
Xavier’s first fifty years we were able to announce the beginning of the public phase of our
Sustaining Excellence campaign. Having donations or commitments for over $3,000,000, we
are now moving forward to raising the next $5,500,000 of our campaign goal of $8,500,000.
On our website and further on in this publication you can read about and see some details of
our plans, including the improvements of our athletic facilities as well as the addition to our
building to house a much needed new music facility, a new art classroom and an additional
chemistry lab.
As we look to Xavier’s future we hope to continue to promote the best possible Catholic
Xaverian high school education possible, and we plan to have the best possible facilities we
can to serve the needs of our students. In the pages that follow I hope you will enjoy reading
about the students, parents, faculty, staff, alumni and friends of Xavier who are examples of
dedication and accomplishment of whom we are very proud.
I and all of us here at Xavier are very grateful to all of you mentioned in our Annual Report
whose financial support is so vital to our success. Simply put, we can’t do it without you!
Please keep Xavier in your prayers as we keep you in ours.
Sincerely in Christ,
Brother Brian Davis, C.F.X.

avier 50tA N N I V E R SA R Y G A L A XA lmost 300 revelers arrived at Xavier on September 14th and enjoyed the full
evening of activities, awards, announcements, good food, beverages and
other reasons to celebrate Xavier’s 50th Anniversary.
The courtyard was a perfect place to gather as the guests arrived. The weather
cooperated with a bright sun and cool temperatures. For the first hour everyone mingled
and partook of the variety of beverages and hors d’oeuvres and were entertained by the
Xavier Jazz Ensemble. Many then entered the school by the entrance near the chapel and
walked through the first floor hall which was lined with pictures depicting scenes from the
past 50 years and student desks topped with yearbooks from 1967 to the present.
When they arrived at the Xavier gymnasium, guests entered into a room that had been
transformed into a banquet hall befitting the special occasion. On stage were two screens
flashing more pictures from the Xavier archives.
Headmaster Brother Brian Davis, C.F.X. welcomed the crowd, as did Bishop of Norwich
the Most Reverend Michael Cote and Middletown Mayor Daniel Drew who presented
Brother Brian with a copy of a proclamation declaring that Sunday September 15th was
Xavier High School Anniversary Day in the City.
After dinner, Brother Brian began the formal evening’s program introducing special
guests who had come for the occasion. Brother Edward Driscoll, C.F.X., General Superior
of the Xaverian Brothers, offered congratulatory remarks on behalf of the congregation.
Chairman of the Board of Directors Dr. Perry Sangalli, who is also president of St. Xavier
High School in Louisville, KY, had a special surprise planned. In his remarks, he announced
that coincidentally with the 50th Anniversary of Xavier Brother Brian is celebrating his
50th anniversary with the Xaverian Brothers. Headmaster’s assistant Mrs. Donna Jaskot
and Principal Brendan Donohue came to the stage to present Brother Brian with a gift
from the school’s faculty and staff.
Director of Advancement Matthew Strekel `99 thanked members of the Gala planning
committee for their hard work and then introduced a video of the six individuals who
were given the St. Francis Xavier Award this year and inducted into the Xavier Hall of
Honors (see story on page 4). Matt said “After 50 years, we thought it was time to
introduce a new award as the highest honor that Xavier can bestow on an individual,
The Xavier Lifetime Service Award. The first recipients of the Lifetime Service Award are
Brother J. Robert Houlihan, C.F.X. and Mr. Anthony Jaskot.” (See the inside back cover for
brief biographies of Brother Houlihan and Mr. Jaskot.)
Brother Brian had another special piece of news. Matt Jaskot `02, who is an
accomplished musician and writer and teaches at the College of the Holy Cross, has been
commissioned to write a piece of Music celebrating Xavier’s 50th Anniversary. That piece
will be played for the first time at Xavier’s Spring Concert early in 2014.
Following announcement of Xavier’s “Sustaining Excellence” campaign (see page 25),
The Xavier Jazz Ensemble and special guest piano soloist Pete LaMalfa `10 gave a final
performance demonstrating how far the music program has come at Xavier.
The evening closed with the recitation of the Xavier School Prayer by Principal
Donohue who mentioned the prayer is read every day as classes end at 2:26 pm. He
invited everyone to “say the prayer at that time if you are able and know that you are in
solidarity with the entire school community.” X

Honors
T here are few spaces at Xavier that have not been inhabited
by Mrs. Dora Braun in her role as volunteer extraordinaire.
Mrs. Braun is a dedicated member of the Xavier Home and
School Association who has spent countless hours decorating the
hallways of Xavier on a seasonal basis. Dora is also a key member
of the Home and School Auction Committee, making sure that every
detail, ribbon, and item is meticulously cared for and wrapped.
Dora was recognized in March 2013 with the Volunteer Recognition
Award by the Connecticut Association of Schools. She was the
first such honoree from the Xavier community. Her volunteer spirit
and endless energy is sincerely appreciated by all in the Xavier
community.
The following six individuals were honored with the
St. Francis Xavier Award and induction in to the Xavier Hall of Honors
at the 50th Anniversary Gala on September 14th.
M r. Tom Byrne is a member of the Xavier class of 1980
and proud Xavier parent, along with his wife Dawn, of
Garrett `09 and Riley `14. As owner of Connecticut
Rental Center in Middletown, Xavier can always rely upon Tom
for sponsorship, support, and essential equipment. Tom and his
company generously donate their time and materials for many
special events at Xavier. Tom is without a doubt one of Xavier’s
most indispensable yet unsung alumni volunteers. He has been a
member of the Saint Francis Xavier Society since 2006 and serves
on the Alumni Executive Committee. In June, Tom was honored by
Middletown Mayor Dan Drew with the Mayor’s Corporate Citizenship
Award.

M r. Foisie has left an indelible mark on Xavier
for generations to come. Having earned his
undergraduate degree from Worcester Polytechnic
Institute in 1956 and his master’s degree from Cornell University
in 1958, Mr. Foisie went on to a career in aerospace engineering;
became founder and president of Matik North America; and has
ventured into everything from telecommunications to real estate
investment. Mr. Foisie serves on the Board of Trustees at WPI and
in 1991 was recognized with the Alumni Award for Outstanding
Professional Achievement. Mr. Foisie cares deeply about people.
His philanthropic efforts focus on his employees, students, and
their families. At Xavier, Mr. Foisie has been an ardent supporter of
private, Catholic education. His grandson, Samuel `09, is a Xavier
man and without Mr. Foisie, Xavier would simply not be able to
offer the high quality education and physical plant that it does.
M r. Reginald Simmons is all that Xavier calls young
men to be. A heart bigger than anyone can fathom,
he consistently goes above and beyond the call of
duty to make sure that Xavier is in proper operating order. Reggie
is a member of the Xavier custodial and maintenance staff since
1996, a regular on the court during pickup basketball games over
the summer, and an integral part of the Faculty-Staff intramural
team. Without fail, Reggie can be counted upon to be there when
you need him. Set up, clean up, break down, Reggie is there. He
has been a mentor to countless Xavier students, Reggie watches
out for and protects each Xavier student like they are his own son.
Although his attitude may seem laid back, he keeps a vigilant eye
on Xavier’s physical plant making sure it is in top shape on a daily
basis. Without question, Reggie is one of the hardest working
members of our community. Reggie and his wife Cheryl are the
proud parents of George, Xavier alumnus Courtney `07 and Bianca
(Mercy `09 and playing basketball professionally in Puerto Rico).
Mrs. Joan TomasielloP`09, `12
Mr. George Keithan, Jr. `81P`07, `11
Mr. Reginald SimmonsP`07
Mr. Robert FoisieGP `09
M r. George V. Keithan, Jr. is a graduate of the class
of 1981. After completing his degree in electrical
engineering from the University of New Haven, he
founded and became President and CEO of Consulting Engineering
Services, George is a tireless advocate for energy efficient,
energy neutral, and LEED certified structures and dwellings. He is
considered one of the foremost experts in energy neutral building
practices in the northeast, and leads by example. After his father’s
passing in 2009, George and his wife Mary looked for a way to
honor the memory of his father and established two endowed
scholarship funds at Xavier. The first is in memory of his father and
benefits a student who is continuing their education at a college or
university in Connecticut in the field of engineering. The second
endowment, in honor of George and Mary, aids a Xavier student
in need of help with their tuition costs. George and Mary are the
parents of Adam `07 and George `11.
M rs. Tomasiello has been a guidance counselor at Xavier
since the 1999 school year. She is married a Xavier
alumnus, Jack Tomasiello `72. Joan and Jack are also
the proud parents of two Xavier men, Adam `09 and Peter `12.
Since coming to Xavier, Joan has embodied what it means to be
truly involved in and an advocate of Catholic education. In 2009,
she received the Ryken Award, which annually recognizes a Xavier
faculty or staff member who exemplifies the models of St. Francis
Xavier and Christian education. She has been described by her
peers as “one of those people who makes this place tick, who gives
this school a `soul.’” She serves as a moderator to the Senior class,
spends numerous hours with various service projects run by the
students, and is always one of the first to volunteer to help at the
school. X

Before the conclusion of Mass Principal Mr. Brendan Donohue conducted the annual Awards Presentation. Here is the listing of the students who were presented awards this year.
Mr. Donohue said, “we would like to publicly recognize those students who have received academic scholarships and book awards over the past year and those who have received special recognition for outstanding academic accomplishments.”

Opening of School Mass Awards PresentationContinued from page 7
8 Xavier Today
St. Francis Xavier, Pray for us! The prayer seemed to be answered
once again. Bright skies and seasonable temperatures brought out
a large crowd of 6th, 7th and 8th grade boys and their families to
our annual Open House. Families arrived before the 1 o’clock opening and
continued throughout the afternoon. They were greeted under a banner
that read “Welcome Class of 2018” referring to the 8th graders who are
planning to take the Entrance Exam on November 16th to determine their
eligibility and course placement as Xavier students in September 2014.
Once they had been greeted, small groups of families were assigned
a student tour guide who would walk them through the building. The
Jazz Band, String ensemble, concert band and chorus provided music
throughout the afternoon in the gymnasium indicating the growth of
Xavier’s music and fine arts offerings. St. Joseph’s Hall, the science labs,
the chapel and technology upgrades in classrooms were among the
scheduled stops on the tour of the campus.
All along the way, the
visitors met the faculty, staff,
administration, alumni, present
parents and student volunteers
who were on hand to answer
questions. Displays were set up
to highlight the many activities,
clubs, intramurals and sports
that are a part of Xavier’s
offerings.
Open House 2013One parent commented
on our Facebook Page
“Thank you for the
opportunity to visit
Xavier today my son was
truly impressed and is
seriously looking forward
to attending there next
year. Our guides were a
fine example of young
men. All the faculty were
very informative and welcoming to both the students and parents.”
In promoting the event this year, we also encouraged 6th and 7th
graders and their families to visit the school and have some of their
questions about a Xavier education answered.
At the conclusion of the tour, the families were invited for some light
refreshment in the St. Joseph dining hall. The reception was sponsored by
Xavier’s Home and School Association.
With a large number of early registrations for the November 16th
Entrance Exam and an ever increasing number of shadow days (days
when 8th graders can follow a current student during a class day and
see what a Xavier education is really like), the interest in Xavier seems as
strong as ever.
If you have any questions, you may email admissions@

At the end of August the faculty and staff met at St. Clements
Castle in nearby Portland for a retreat as their first official
meeting of the new year. Headmaster Brother Brian Davis, C.F.X.
welcomed everyone and opened the day with a prayer. Principal Mr.
Brendan Donohue introduced the new faculty members:
Physics — Ms. Kathleen DiSanto
Science — Mr. Jeffrey Ruvolo
Religion — Dr. Kevin Ryan
Math — Mr. Steven P. Smith
(For more information on each of the new faculty members, read the
article on page 33.)
The keynote speaker for the retreat was Sister Patricia McCarthy
(pictured above). Sister Patricia is a member of the Congregation
of Notre Dame. For twenty-five years she worked with the poor in
education, in particular with abused children. For seventeen years
she taught peace and nonviolence, giving lectures, courses, retreats
and missions to students, adult education classes, parishes, religious
communities, seminarians and deacons throughout the United States,
Canada, Ireland, North Ireland, Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Australia,
Japan and Vietnam. Her book, “The Word of God—The Word of
Peace” won first place for spirituality by the Catholic Press Association
in 2003. In 2007 the Catholic Press Association awarded her second
place as columnist in a Catholic paper and magazine. Currently she is
Provincial for the United States province of her community.
Sister Patricia put the faculty and staff at ease with her down-to-
earth style of presenting information. She often poked fun at herself
in her personal experiences including family, student years, religious
and professional activities. the three themes that she wove into her
presentation were how each person should develop and foster a:
• SenseofSelf
• SenseofGod
• SenseofOther
Sister Patricia spoke of things like:
• therole(notimportance)ofgradesforastudent’sworkinschool
• nevertakingyourselftooseriously
• maintainingstructure,disciplineandconsistency
• importantwaystocommunicatewithstudents,peers,parents
and administration
• andmuchmore...
After Sister’s morning talk and before lunch, Rev. Father Michael
Phillippino, pastor of St. John Roman Catholic Church in Middletown
and a former chaplain at Xavier, celebrated Mass assisted by Deacon
James Tanguay of our science department. X

Dear Xavier Alumni, Parents, and Friends –
I have noticed a trend amongst many of my friends and colleagues, of all ages, over the
past year or so. Beginning the first day of November, these folks make it a point to take
the time in their day to be mindful of something that they are thankful for. Now some
write their responses and thoughts on Facebook for all to see. Some choose to write
it in a private journal to reflect upon later that day, week, or month. Others keep their
thoughts private, mindful simply of an “attitude of gratitude.”
For us, appreciation and thankfulness extends all year long. I am thankful every day for your support of
Xavier. In this annual report for 2013, you will find many who choose to support Xavier financially. You will
see that you supported Xavier with over $1.5 million in total gifts to the school, and our alumni participation
increased 4 points over last year. I am truly grateful for all that you do for Xavier and our young men here
each and every day. We simply could not do what we do without your financial assistance and spirited
volunteerism.
As included in this edition of Xavier Today, we recently went public with our “Sustaining Excellence”
campaign. We have raised $3.1 million to date on our way to $8.5 million. This campaign focuses on four
areas of growth as identified by the Board of Directors for Xavier: the Xavier Annual Fund, Academics and
Technology, the Arts, and Athletics. I want to emphasize that every name listed in the annual fund portion of
the report is already a donor to the campaign. Through your participation in the Xavier Annual Fund, with
even a gift of $25, you are choosing to support Xavier and the Sustaining Excellence campaign. THANK YOU!
We continue to reach out to many of you to talk about the campaign and how you and your family can
be involved. If you would like to be involved before we are in touch, please feel free to contact me at
860-347-6079. It would be a pleasure to let you know in a bit more detail what we are doing.
Thank you, once again, for your support of Xavier in all ways. Now let’s honor our past and build upon our
legacy for the next 50 years.

Xavier Annual Fund Giving (Continued)
At the 50th Anniversary Gala celebration at Xavier on September 14th, the
school made public its “Sustaining Excellence” capital campaign to improve
its athletic facilities, fine arts program and increase classroom space. Campaign
Chairpersons, Robert Guere and Brian Hetherington (both Xavier Class of 1981)
made the announcement and showed architects’ renderings of the planned work.
The $8.5 million comprehensive campaign began quietly on
July 1, 2012, said Director of Advancement Mr. Matthew Strekel
(Xavier Class of 1999) and has raised more than $3 million so
far. A ceremonial check for three million, twenty -nine thousand,
twenty-eight dollars was presented to Headmaster Brother Brian
representing the monies raised to date. The campaign committee
hopes to raise the remaining $5.5 million over the next four years
during the public phase. Technology improvements and growing
the school’s annual fund are also part of the campaign.
The athletic complex would feature a new turf football/
multipurpose field, a new track, a new baseball field and a new
athletic facility which would house coaches rooms, team rooms,
concession stands and ticket booths. However, for the foreseeable
future, Strekel said, varsity football home games are still planned to
be played at Palmer Field.
The fine arts building would provide needed space for the
school’s music program
which has been growing
steadily for a number of
years and currently serves
about 125 students. The
plan would create additional
classroom space within the
main building.
If there are any
questions, please contact
Director of Advancement
Mr. Matthew Strekel `99
at (860) 347-6079. More
information on the
“Sustaining Excellence”
Campaign can be found on

Xavier High School — Annual Report 2012-2013 29
Dear friends,
As a teacher here at Xavier, it has been my pleasure each year to have at least one section of our present seniors in class. While each grade of our student body is unique in its own way, I always enjoy the time i spend with our seniors as their perspective is unique. They know that the end of their time as students in the building will soon be coming to a close and, with their collective experience as a class over the past three years behind them; their attitude tends to be on the positive side as they attempt to finish out their time together as students in an enjoyable way. We are now well into another school year and, take it from me; our present senior class seems to be intent on enjoying their last year as Xavier students!
A year spent with our seniors is, however, always bittersweet. While the time spent with them day to day can often bring me back to that same feeling that I had my senior year at Xavier, I carry with me the knowledge that every day brings us closer to having to say goodbye as they move on to the next step in their lives. still, many months remain ahead of us and the inevitable end of this school year won’t have to mean goodbye forever.
Since returning to Xavier as a teacher six years ago, I have come to realize that our school community is one that no alum must ever leave behind. Old friends and teachers have done much to help me connect the feeling of excitement I had my senior year with the feelings of accomplishment I have as a Xavier graduate.
In closing, I urge all members of our school community to remember that Xavier, through the act of giving, volunteering at events or even just stopping by for a friendly visit, is a place that you never have to leave completely. After all, there are still many months ahead this school year and plenty of opportunity for good times to be had by the senior in all of us.
Best wishes, James Royce `99

Xavier Annual Fund Alumni Report (Continued)
30 Xavier High School — Annual Report 2012-2013
Sal NeSci `14 (pictured right with Senator Chris Murphy) was
honored this summer by U.S. Senator Chris Murphy at a community
meeting he held at The Elks Club. His father, also Sal, submitted this
photo and told us “I received a call by his (Senator Murphy’s) staff
requesting his presence at a community meeting where Sal would be
recognized for attaining the rank of Eagle Scout. The reason I am bringing
this to your attention is that we found out when we showed up that Senator
Murphy chose a student from Middletown High School, Mercy and Xavier. Sal was the student
chosen to represent Xavier ... I believe by an alumni member of the Xavier community ... we
cannot go without saying that much of his maturity and development is due in large part to his
experience that lies in the brotherhood of Xavier.”
Congratulations again to Sal for this individual honor and for representing Xavier, all its Eagle
Scouts and students in such a positive way.
Nick iott `13 (pictured right) was awarded the rank of Eagle Scout in April. He was a
scout in Troop 810 and is a member of Venture Crew 007, both of North Haven. Nick performed
his Eagle service project at the Eli Whitney Museum and Workshop. The Museum was expanding
its facilities and needed to create a new entrance area which also would serve to handle waste
material management. With the help of volunteers, Nick designed and built a new enclosure for
a dumpster, including elements to make it easier for Museum staff to manage waste materials.
He installed new landscaping including fencing, curbs and a gravel driveway to complete the
entry area.
Highlights of Nick’s scouting experience included sharing his time with his good friend,
Mark Kennedy `13 and brother Kevin Iott `16, both Xavier students, working with Mr. David
Applegate `98 at the waterfront at Camp Sequassen where he earned his Boy Scout Life Guard
certification, attending the 100th anniversary National Jamboree and most especially, participating
in a 112-mile backpacking trip through New Mexico at the Philmont Scout Ranch. X
Our annual Eagle Scout tribute will run in the Summer 2014 edition of Xavier Today. We welcome photos and details of our students reaching this scouting milestone. Please forward submissions to [email protected].

like a tie for 2nd place overall and 1st in their
division. Another May graduate Matthew
Pias `13 was close behind finishing 5th.
Gregson Curtin `15, Dan Hergott `15 and
Matt Welch `14 rounded out this portion
of the list finishing in 10th, 19th and 20th
respectively.

In addition to the AP Scholars
recognized at the Opening of
School Mass Awards (page 8),
Headmaster Brother Brian Davis
C.F.X and Principal Mr. Brendan
Donohue announced that Angus
Lamont `14 of Hamden has
been named as a National Merit
Semifinalist. “We are very proud
of his individual accomplishment”
said Mr. Donohue. Angus, who is
also President of the Latin Honor
Society at Xavier, is pictured at
right with Principal Donohue
and Brother Brian at the Honor
Societies Induction Ceremony.
Angus was formally recognized as
a Semifinalist before the entire school at the opening of school Mass on
September 9th along with the other 13 students and 35 graduates of the
class of 2013 who were recognized as AP Scholars.
Angus is among the approximately 16,000 Semifinalists in the 58th
annual National Merit Scholarship Program and has an opportunity to
continue in the competition for some 8,000 National Merit Scholarships
that will be offered next spring. To be considered for a Merit Scholarship®
award, Semi-finalists must fulfill several requirements to advance to the
Finalist level of the competition. About 90 percent of the Semifinalists are
expected to attain Finalist standing, and more than half of the Finalists
will win a National Merit Scholarship, earning the Merit Scholar® title.
Brother and Principal Donohue also announced that nine seniors
have been named Commended Students in the 2014 National Merit
Scholarship Program. They are: Branden Bielot `14 (East Hampton),
Brenton Cantliffe `14 (Berlin),
Daniel Colavecchio `14
(Colchester), Jonah Cremin-Endes
`14 (Guilford), Ruban Hussain `14
(Higganum), John Kessler `14
(Killingworth), Regis O’Neill `14
(Middletown), James Rosborough
`14 (Durham), and Maxwell Staab
`14 (Middletown)
Each of these scholastically
talented seniors receives a Letter
of Commendation from the school
and National Merit Scholarship
Corporation (NMSC), which
conducts the program.
About 34,000 Commended
Students throughout the nation
are being recognized for their exceptional academic promise. Although
they will not continue in the competition for National Merit Scholarships,
Commended Students placed among the top five percent of more
than 1.5 million students who entered the competition by taking the
Preliminary SAT/ National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/
NMSQT).
“Those being named Commended Students have demonstrated
outstanding potential for academic success,” commented a spokesperson
for NMSC. “These students represent a valuable national resource;
recognizing their accomplishments, as well as the key role their schools
play in their academic development, is vital to the advancement of
educational excellence in our nation. We hope that this recognition will
help broaden their educational opportunities and encourage them as they
continue their pursuit of academic success.” X

Most adults could probably answer that question fairly easily. But
most current students in our schools, either weren’t born or may
have been too young to remember the tragic events that took place in
New York, Washington, D.C. and Shanksville, PA.
A large crowd gathered at the South Fire District Station on Saybrook
Road to mark the occasion with the dedication of a new memorial garden
that has been constructed around a piece of steel from the North Tower of
the World Trade Center that was destroyed that day 12 years ago.
Xavier was well represented at the event. Headmaster Brother Brian
Davis, C.F.X. gave the Invocation and Benedition, President of the Local
Firefighters Union James Mastroianni `90 offered welcoming remarks,
South Fire District Chief Robert Ross `80 introduced special guests and
Xavier senior Tom Vanacore `14 was in the audience honoring his uncle
Edward who died in the attacks that day. Many other attendees were
alumni, family members or had relationships with Xavier over the years.
We also saw that there was a brick laid in the walkway of the
memorial garden in honor of Peter Gelinas `86 (photo below), the only
alumnus of Xavier to have lost his life in the Twin Towers on 9/11.
Freshman Academic Dean Mr. David Sizemore `86, a classmate
of Peter’s asked us all to “Please keep Peter as well as the following
members of the Xavier family who lost their lives on September 11th:
Mr. J. Bruce Eagleson, father of Kyle `97 and Timothy `00; Mr. Richard
Keane, father of Patrick `95; and Mr. Edward Vanacore, uncle of Brian `11
and Thomas `14.” Many dignitaries were present and offered words to
rekindle remembrance of that fateful day. X
In June as Spring 2013 was coming to a close and it would be hard
to picture a more glorious day, temperatures climbing through the
upper 60s with a dry breeze cooling those who were engaged in
creating the Sandy Hook Memorial Garden at Xavier. The Stewards
of Creation had decided to construct this garden in honor of the 26
“angels” who lost their lives in the tragic events at the Sandy Hook
Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut on December 14, 2012.
Earlier plans to get the plants in were thwarted by torrential rains.
But finally, on this beautiful Wednesday, outgoing club president C.J.
Spellman `13 (Rocky Hill) joined moderator Mrs. Andrea Hoisl, Director
of Athletics Tony Jaskot `69 and Director of Grounds Mr. Michael
Schinas for the planting and sprucing up of the area. Mr. Schinas and
Br. John Sullivan, C.F.X. had done preliminary work on the garden.
With angels praying and a plaque that was added in September
when the student body returned for the new school year, the Stewards
of Creation are hoping that the garden will flourish and remain as a
living memorial for the 20 students and six adults who were killed. X

“Mr. Mike” has retired. After 15
years of teaching
Math and Science at Xavier and following a career
in the New Haven Public School System and the
years spent working for the military, Mr. Ricciuti has
officially retired.
The faculty and staff of Xavier was able to
celebrate his retirement with him at the end of the
year picnic which followed closing meetings and a
prayer service. While all were enjoying the potluck
fare and grilled sandwiches, Principal Brendan
Donohue introduced Science Department Chair Mrs.
Linda Charpentier to share some thoughts about Mike Ricciuti. The
complete text of her comments are below. Mr. Donohue and Mrs.
Charpentier then presented him with a farewell gift on behalf of the
school.
We join in Mrs’ Charpentier’s closing words “Congratulations Mike!”
and thank you for all you’ve done for Xavier students and the school.
Several years ago, back when Mike taught solely in the math
department and I didn’t know him very well, I was attending a summer
workshop where I encountered a teacher who knew Mike from his days
in the New Haven public school system. When she learned that I was
from Xavier and that Mike still taught here, she asked me to be sure
to say hello to him for her. “I miss him so much,” she said. “What a
sweetheart he was to all of us … he is the most kindhearted person I
know!” [Pause] “Could she have meant some other Mike Ricciuti” I said
to myself? Surely she was not talking about the guy whom the boys
had nicknamed Darth Vader and who wore his “flame ‘em” tie on exam
days. Surely she was not talking about the guy who had terrorized
my own son when he took over Tom’s AP Calc class during Andrew’s
paternal leave of absence. No, surely she was mistaken – she had to
have been talking so fondly of somebody else!
Then Mike joined the science department. We began to find hoards
of freshmen gathered round him as he generously offered them his
This is the Mike Ricciuti we’ve come to love and respecttime both before and after school, even during lunch,
giving extra help on homework problems. And
honestly, these kids did not look panicked as much as
they looked genuinely motivated by the challenge of
learning physics. And many of them began to show
a little extra spring in their step as they came to the
realization that, by golly, they were getting it – that
they could do physics, thanks to Mike’s tutelage.
We as his colleagues began to see the true “Mr.
Mike” too. He offered to fix things and to build
things for us… he repaired numerous pieces of lab
equipment, and I mean lots of stuff, he donated a
microwave oven when he could not repair our old one, plus he built
a classroom greenhouse for the bio lab. He jumped in as a Robotics
team volunteer and donated hours of his time and needed equipment
to guide the project to completion. When he learned that our new
sailboat fleet needed bunks to sit upon at the yacht club, he built
those for us and refused to accept a penny of reimbursement. And
when he saw Paul Kieda and Jeremy struggling to hand cut all of
those freshman religion tiles to fit our giant X H S wood frames, he
took it upon himself to purchase the proper power tool and to spend
a day of his April vacation to cut and fit each tile. I know I cannot
pass that beautiful display now without thinking of Mike’s generosity
and kindheartedness. Yes, that teacher from New Haven had the right
guy – this is the Mike Ricciuti we’ve come to love and respect.
Now, who among us has not heard Mike start a conversation with
these words: “Well, when I worked for the military…?” But did you
know that we recently learned from him that the job he’s held the
longest has been this one, for 15 years. And so Mike: as you retreat
into a well-deserved retirement, we hope your new conversations will
now begin with these words: “Well, when I served as the physics
teacher at Xavier High School…” and we trust that what follows these
words will be stories told with the same affection and fond memories
that we will forever hold for you. Congratulations Mike! X

service. A 1949 graduate of St. John’s
Preparatory School in Danvers, MA, he
entered the Xaverian Brothers congregation
the following September, received his habit in
March of 1950 and took his first vows in March
of 1952. A graduate of St. John’s University in
1959, he attended Columbia University Teachers
College, earning his MA in 1966. One could
consider him a lifelong student, as he has also
studied at Hunter College, LaSalle College,
Eastern Michigan University, Salem State
College (MA), Eastern Illinois State University,
Oglethorpe College, and the Ecumenical
Summer Institute at Assumption College.
Brother Houlihan spent a total of 54 years in
the classroom before moving on to a support
role at Xavier. He began teaching 4th grade at
St. Theresa’s School in Brooklyn. He then taught
Mr. Tony Jaskot has dedicated almost his

at Cardinal Hayes High School in the
Bronx and came to Xavier shortly
after that in 1970. Ever since, Brother
Houlihan has been a mainstay of our
institution. For many years, he could
be found teaching Introduction to
Physical Science in one of the labs at
Xavier.
For those that know Brother Houlihan, they
recognize his love for service to the special
needs and disabled community. He has led
MYARC (Middlesex Youth ARC) programs for
developmentally handicapped persons which
he inaugurated over 40 years ago at both Xavier
and Mercy High Schools.
There is a reason why the Brother J. Robert
Houlihan Endowed Scholarship is annually
one of the most well supported at Xavier.
Brother’s impact on decades of young men
in the classroom is beyond compare, and his
continued service to Xavier after his teaching
career is immeasurable.
On Saturday July 27th the Most Reverend
Michael R. Cote, Bishop of Norwich presented
Brother Houlihan the Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice,
the highest medal that can be awarded to the
laity by the Papacy. It is also known as the
“Cross of Honour.” who, after 54 years in the
classroom, decided to move from the faculty to
a support staff position at Xavier.
University. He joined the Xavier faculty in 1974
as a religion, health, and physical education
teacher. In addition, Tony has served as
cook, chauffeur, ticket salesman, mentor, XLI
coordinator, speaker, and so much more. Tony
has come to exemplify all that “Be A Man” is.
Tony served as the head football coach at
Xavier from 1984 – 1994, inheriting the position
from legendary coach Larry McHugh. Be it a
win or a loss, no matter the result, Tony was
the consummate coach. There was a lesson to
be learned in every victory and every defeat.
Play could always improve; how to win humbly
and lose graciously; how you play is far more
important than the outcome; these lessons are
at the heart and soul of the athletic department
at Xavier, with Mr. Jaskot at the helm.
Tony started the freshman baseball program
in 1978 and coached the team for 16 years
and also served as assistant athletic director
under Artie Kohs. In 1997, Tony was named
athletic director after Artie’s retirement. Tony
also serves as an “advisor” to the Campus
Ministry program. The spiritual side of Tony is a
subdued one, but his Catholicism permeates all
aspects of his life. He was recognized with the
Saint Mary’s Press Ambassador of Christ Award
in 2007.
An inductee in to the Xavier Hall of Honors
in 1996, he later received the Ryken Award in
1998 and was inducted in to the Middletown
Sports Hall of Fame in 1999. With numerous
athletic awards and accolades to his name,
Tony now serves on the Middletown Parks and
Recreation Commission and is a member of the
Polish Falcons. X
