FROM THE PRESIDENT

Because of your generosity, our students are sequencing genes, playing ice hockey, and participating in a professional-quality musical at the iconic Shubert Theater in New Haven. Nothing we do at the Academy is “ordinary” — that word is not in our vocabulary.

Dear Friends, There is magic in the air here at Sacred Heart Academy as we anticipate the beatification of Blessed Clelia Merloni, foundress of the Apostles of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, on November 3. Last week 20 Apostles departed for Rome to represent the United States at this historic event. Included in this group were alumnae Sr. Clare Millea ’65 (former General Superior); Sr. Caroline Severino ’58; Sr. Shawn Lyons ’63; Sr. Mary Grace Giaimo ’72; Sr. Mariette Moan ’77; Sr. Doretta D’Albero ’77; Sr. Anne Walsh ’81 (presently living in Rome and involved in preparation for the beatification); and Sr. Linda Pettinella ’65. We were thrilled to learn that our own theology teacher and co-director of Campus Ministry, Sr. Elizabeth Doyle (Cor Jesu Academy ‘08), will serve as the American correspondent on EWTN for the beatification liturgy. Our community celebrated at the November First Friday liturgy, in which we were joined by a number of Apostles who live here at Mt. Sacred Heart, including many retired Sisters from Sacred Heart Manor. It truly warms my heart to see the excitement and enthusiasm of our entire school community who have joined the Apostles in special prayers in preparation for this momentous occasion. We are all sons and daughters of Clelia. Our next issue of HEART will be centered on Blessed Clelia Merloni and this extraordinary event in the history of the Apostles of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

After the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) visiting team was hosted by the school in October, the chairs of the committee met with Principal Sr. Kathleen Mary and me to give us their preliminary response. I wish I could fully put into words the enthusiastic report we received. They spoke of our extraordinary sense of charism and mission that permeates the school;

FALL 2016

MAGAZINE

Fall 2018 our students who are self-confident, warm, welcoming, and articulate; our dedicated faculty and staff; and the appreciation of our rich traditions such as musical and Enthronement and Spirit Week. And they noted that we are too humble about everything wonderful happening here. Sacred Heart Academy is truly a special place. In the next issue of HEART, you will be able to read more about the report’s details.

Life here at the Academy is great! Our new building is taking shape and continues to be on budget and on time. The students enjoyed signing the last beam to be placed in the ceiling. The dedication will take place next September, so watch for an announcement of the date. The cast of our musical, Leader of the Pack, is rehearsing feverishly every day; sports teams have been competing successfully when it isn’t raining; and students are working every day in the classroom, preparing for the next stage of their education. I love my ministry here!

I hope you enjoy this issue of HEART, as we tackle a topic that has probably touched all of us in some way: cancer. True to our charism to share God’s love and compassion in all facets of our world, we have highlighted a few of our alumnae who are doing amazing work to confront this disease. You will read about an APRN who specializes in pediatric oncology; a cell/molecular biologist doing oncology research at a pharmaceutical company; an art therapist and counselor in private practice who works with cancer patients and their families; several other professionals; and volunteers who support cancer patients and their families. Our Excelsior Women continue the legacy of making the world a better place.

You can also read about the vitality of girls’ schools and my vision for Sacred Heart, including some new ideas inspired by my attendance in June at the Global Forum on Girls’ Education II in Washington, D.C. At that event, I had the opportunity to meet with educators from girls’ schools throughout the world.

I want to especially recognize all our donors listed in our Honor Roll of Giving. The “magic” that happens each day at Sacred Heart Academy is the direct result of a dedicated faculty and staff, and generous people like you who give us the means to go far beyond a standard curriculum. Because of your generosity, our students are sequencing genes, playing ice hockey, and participating in a professional-quality musical at the iconic Shubert Theater in New Haven. Nothing we do at the Academy is “ordinary” — that word is not in our vocabulary.

We want only the best for our students, because they are the best part of everything we do; they are the reason why we come here each day and the reason for our pride! On behalf of all of these future Excelsior Women, I thank you. May the Sacred Heart of Jesus abundantly bless you with His love.

Gratefully in the Heart of Christ,

Sr. Sheila Affirms the Vitality of Girls’ Schools If you ask Sr. Sheila O’Neill, ASCJ, Ph.D., ‘71, president of Sacred Heart Academy, why girls’-only education remains a vital force in 2018, she is likely to share this anecdote: “I love when our graduates who are in college come back and tell us that they can pick out classmates who also went to girls’ high schools,” she says. “They say that those young women are the ones always raising their hands in class.”

Of course, with nearly three decades of experience as an educator of adolescent girls (22 years at the Academy’s sister school, Cor Jesu Academy in St. Louis, Missouri, and nine here at Sacred Heart), Sr. Sheila has a lot more to say on the topic. But, even with all those years of experience, she will happily acknowledge that there is always more to learn. This past June, she spent three days in Washington, D.C. gleaning insights from and exchanging ideas with leaders in girls’ education from all over the world who came together at the Global Forum on Girls’ Education II. The conference was sponsored by the National Coalition of Girls’ Schools (NCGS).

During those three days, Sr. Sheila attended workshops and was inspired by keynote speakers, including tennis star and feminist activist Billie Jean King and Iranian-American author Azar Nafisi, who wrote the groundbreaking and best-selling Reading Lolita in Tehran. And, throughout the conference, she says, “I had two reactions. I found validation for what we are doing well here at Sacred Heart, and I was inspired and challenged to bring fresh ideas to our campus.”

Among the ideas Sr. Sheila brought back are possibilities for enhancing Sacred Heart’s already strong service program, and creating additional opportunities to develop students’ leadership skills. She is thinking about an all-school service day — something in place at many other schools — and about how to expand on activities like Clelia’s Cucina, where students pack sandwiches on campus for soup kitchens. One challenge, she notes, is that there are more restrictions now on 16 year olds’ obtaining drivers’ licenses, meaning that “students can’t as readily load up a car full of kids and drive somewhere to service

opportunities. How do we enrich our service opportunities within that reality?”

benefits of our being a single-sex school,” she says.

“I also know that we can do more to develop our students’ leadership skills,” she says. She is thinking, for instance, about how to make more innovative use of existing organizations like Student Council and Peer Connection.

She also cites the opportunities offered by Charism Connection, a program now in its fourth year, in which about a dozen students from Sacred Heart and Cor Jesu come together for four days of immersion in the life and work of Blessed Clelia Merloni, founder in 1884 of the congregation of the Apostles of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The goal: to bring back her message of compassion, service, and resilience to the rest of the campus. “Mother Clelia was a powerful and independent woman, especially for her time,” Sr. Sheila says. “Her life’s purpose was to see where the need was, and go there.

As part of our emphasis on leadership, how can we make Mother Clelia even more present as a living role model in our students’ lives?”

The young women at Sacred Heart have plenty of regular interactions with boys, Sr. Sheila notes, including those at their brother school, Notre Dame of West Haven. But what they experience at the Academy, she says, is a place where the consistent message is that they are loved for who they are, and that they can do and be whatever they want and work for.

Sr. Sheila is also working on expanding a summer internship program for rising seniors to do focused, serious work under the guidance of Sacred Heart alumnae.

She is reaching out to alumnae across the professional spectrum — in medicine, teaching, engineering, business, science, law, and the arts — with the intention of enlisting a large pool of mentors who can guide students in exploring career paths. Continuing to build the endowment is another priority so that any young woman who can succeed at the Academy has the opportunity to do so.

Sr. Sheila also came home from Washington with a renewed commitment to the benefits of a girls’ school education. “I left that conference thinking, we need to say more about the

“Our students are accustomed to being the club presidents, the star athletes, the respected artists and scientists, the awardwinning scholars,” Sr. Sheila points out, “and to seeing what their peers can achieve in and outside the classroom.” Each student, she says, comes to the Academy with her own unique gifts. “Our role,” she continues, “is to help them discover and realize those gifts, develop their self-confidence, and support them in a culture that still often places a higher value on the accomplishments of men and boys.”

She cites another story about a recent graduate who told her, “When I first got to Sacred Heart, I could have described in detail what everyone’s shoes looked like because I spent all my time looking down.” By the time she graduated, the young woman was a campus leader with a wide circle of friends.

“Stories like this abound among our alumnae,” Sr. Sheila notes.

Maybe, Sr. Sheila says, the day will come when we live in a world that truly and fully values the lives and gifts of women. “But we are certainly not there yet,” she says. “So we offer an environment that lifts up girls and women every day. We don’t always talk about it, but it’s embedded in everything we do.”

Conquering any disease is a team effort, requiring the full range of human initiative, expertise, and dedication.

In the next pages, you will read about 11 members of the Sacred Heart community who are working to understand and cure cancer — seven whose professional paths led them to medicine, research, or education, and four who volunteer for organizations that support cancer patients, their families, and research institutions.

CONFRONTING CANCER

Kathleen Barsczewski ’82 THE RADIATION THERAPIST “It’s a scary moment, the first time you turn on the beam for a patient’s treatment,” says radiation therapist Kathleen Barsczewski, RRT. “Radiation damages the genetic structure of the tumor cells, preventing them from replicating. You must be totally vigilant about the power you have in your hands, and remember that there is a person attached to the cells you are trying to destroy.”

N

ow chief radiation therapist at the Radiation Center of Greater Nashua in New Hampshire, Kathy began her professional studies right after graduating from Sacred Heart. “I was only 19,” she says, “and I appreciated the older students who took me under their wings and supported me as we mastered the complex technology together, and learned how to be with people facing lifethreatening disease.”

Patients are often frightened and vulnerable. Sometimes you cry with them, or hug them, or just talk with them about what they did over the weekend.

After training at the Joint Center for Radiation Therapy at Harvard Medical School, she worked at Bridgeport Hospital, then joined the staff at her current facility, where she became chief radiation therapist in 1998. Her work is both highly technical and intensely human. “Patients are often frightened and vulnerable,” Kathy says. “Sometimes you cry with them, or hug them, or just talk with them about what they did over the weekend.”

At the same time, precision is everything, as Kathy and her colleagues deliver meticulously calculated and calibrated doses of radiation with “gigantic machines called linear accelerators that have every dial, knob, and circuit you can imagine.” Radiation therapy has changed since Kathy first entered the field, with practitioners constantly embracing new and often more complex technologies. “If you think of how much phones have changed since the mid ‘80s,” Kathy says, “you’ll have an idea of how much radiation therapy has advanced.”

Kathy shares her knowledge regularly as a guest lecturer in biology classes at Southern New Hampshire University, often finding that students come to her with their own stories about the effects of cancer on their lives.

Kathy herself has had her life touched by the disease; she has lost grandparents, co-

workers, and best friends. She has chaired and participates in the Relay for Life® of Greater Nashua with her team, Radiating Hope. She has also participated in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer in Boston and New York, joining forces with her sister-in-law, who lost a sister to breast cancer and has another sister currently living with the disease.

“I fight hard for the day I may be out of a job because a cure has been found,” she says.

“Nothing would make me happier.”

Karen Zusi ’07 THE COMMUNICATOR

current position as media relations manager, Karen is responsible for communicating to journalists about the institute’s work so that they can, in turn, inform the public. She also writes for Broad’s website, prepares researchers for talking with media when major findings are about to be announced, and helps plan events such as Broad’s public lectures. When a crew from The Boston Globe newspaper visited the Broad Institute earlier this year for a story on finding new uses for old drugs — including treating cancer — Karen made the tour arrangements, took notes for the Globe photographer, and facilitated communication between scientists and journalists.

A lot of people are dedicating their careers to understanding cancer biology and, ultimately, finding a cure. Helping the public understand that work is extremely gratifying.

n her earlier years, Karen Zusi dreamed of being a wildlife biologist. During freshman year biology at Sacred Heart with Susan Nelson, Karen did a research project on backyard birds that sparked a lifelong interest in bird watching. She did research on birds while an undergraduate at Villanova University.

She has worked as a naturalist at Sherwood Island State Park in Westport, Connecticut, and has volunteered at Yale’s Peabody Museum of Natural History. Her master’s degree from Frostburg State University in Maryland is in wildlife biology. “I loved the idea that I could study animals for a living,” she says.

But as time went on, Karen began to think that, professionally, she also wanted to do something in another area of interest: communications. So she completed a master’s program in science journalism at Boston University, and became a science writer. Karen’s work, both print and multimedia, has appeared with PRI’s Living on Earth, The Scientist, Cell, and various institutional and corporate clients.

In 2016, she began working in communications for the Broad Institute, a major Boston-area biomedical research center where cancer research is one of the top priorities. In her

Karen mentions two Broad initiatives that she thinks are particularly worth noting. One is research into blood biopsies — enabling routine monitoring of patients’ tumors directly from blood samples. “The idea,” she says, “is that, since tumors shed pieces of DNA into the bloodstream, we might be able to draw blood rather than subject patients to the standard, invasive, surgical biopsy procedure.”

The other initiative is part of Broad’s focus on partnering directly with patients. The Metastatic Breast Cancer Project — a crowdsourced, social media driven effort to engage those with metastatic breast cancer as partners in research — has patients directly submit saliva samples and allow access to their tumor samples for genome sequencing. De-identified data from the samples and other clinical information are released and shared across the global research community to enable scientific understanding of the disease and develop new treatment strategies.

“A lot of people are dedicating their careers to understanding cancer biology and, ultimately, finding a cure.” Karen says. “Helping the public understand that work is extremely gratifying.”

Maureen Brady Moran ’75 THE INSTITUTIONAL REVIEW BOARD CHAIR

Clinical trials of new drugs and medical devices offer hope and sometimes positive outcomes for thousands of patients every year. But the trials often carry risks as well.

Making sure that those patients are protected is the job of institutional review boards (IRBs) like the one at Northwestern University, where Maureen Brady Moran, MPH chairs one of the IRB’s review panels. Her panel oversees protection of participants in clinical trials of new cancer therapies, as well as other research studies at the medical school. “We and other institutions are required by the Food and Drug Administration — the FDA — to ensure that possible risks are outweighed by the potential benefits of the proposed research,” she explains. IRBs also ensure that potential participants are adequately informed of risks, and kept apprised of additional relevant information that may become available during the course of the research.

In her day-to-day work at Northwestern, Maureen is an assistant professor at the Feinberg School of Medicine, where she teaches Ethical Issues in Clinical Research, and the human subjects research component of other courses taken both by medical students and students in the life sciences. She is also director of admissions and graduate affairs for the medical school’s program in public health.

She has an undergraduate degree in food and nutrition from the University of St. Joseph in West Hartford, Connecticut, and a master’s degree in public health/chronic disease epidemiology from Yale School of Public Health. Prior to her current positions, Maureen worked in the fields of dietetics, geriatrics, and preventive medicine.

Of the eight or nine hundred research studies Maureen’s panel is responsible for annually, about a quarter are related to cancer therapies. Currently, nationwide, over 16,000 clinical trials are underway. Often, especially in oncology, the same trial will be conducted at multiple sites both to acquire enough subjects and to make results more generalizable. Clinical trials almost always combine an existing standard of care with a new therapy.

Maureen explains that clinical trial participants interact with the investigating team, which is responsible for communicating all the necessary information and making sure that informed consent is obtained. The IRB is there to monitor the processes through regular reviews, and respond to problems. Where problems occur, the IRB can require additional training for the investigators, observe the consent process, or have the project audited.

Patients’ involvement in clinical trials often last weeks or months — sometimes even years. Participants want to know, what are the risks, what are you going to do to me, and what might happen?

Maureen Brady Moran ’75

“Patients’ involvement in clinical trials often last weeks or months — sometimes even years,” Maureen says, “Participants want to know, what are the risks, what are you going to do to me, and what might happen?

We help investigators interpret the research protocols in lay language to make sure everything is clear. Our absolute commitment is to make sure that investigators are acting at all times in the best interests of clinical trial participants.”

Caitlin Dell Iannucci ’02 THE ART THERAPIST

Caitlin Iannucci, LPC, ATR, CBC, LLC has always loved art, but its transformative power was brought home to her when, as a child, she watched her father create paintings about his experiences in the Vietnam War. “I saw the connections he made with others through his prolific and award-winning artwork,” she says, “as they shared their similar experiences.” Her father’s subsequent battle with lung cancer also shaped her professional career.

Her first encounter with the study of psychology came a bit later, when she enrolled in AP Psychology at Sacred Heart during her senior year. “The subject seemed like a natural pairing with art,” she says, “and so the direction of my career began to unfold.” She combined the two fields in her post-secondary education at Albertus Magnus College, with an undergraduate degree in psychology, and a master’s in art therapy.

Before establishing her private practice in 2015 (caitliniannucci.com), Caitlin worked as a school-based mental health clinician and then as an art therapy clinician in a group practice. Now, she sees a diverse clientele of children and adults, including individuals affected by cancer and their family members. “What I love most about what I do,” Caitlin says, “is helping people find ways to express emotions and reflect on experiences without having to find the words. Art therapy is different for everyone. Sometimes it looks like art as therapy, other times it is art in therapy. Art therapy is process-oriented and inquisitive. We ask questions and discover together. The therapy often empowers clients to delve deeper and find meaning in the art process itself. And it is often in that space that healing can occur.”

Caitlin, who is also an adjunct professor of art therapy at Albertus Magnus, has defined her clinical specialties to include grief, trauma, depression, and anxiety. She finds art therapy to be particularly meaningful to the bereaved and has recently been certified as a provider of compassionate bereavement care through the MISS Foundation — which serves families who have experienced the death of a child — and the Elisabeth Kubler-Ross Family Trust.

When she is not seeing clients or managing the business part of her practice, Caitlin spends time with her husband, two young sons, and their rescue dogs; enjoys the outdoors; and creates her own art in her studio.

What I love most about what I do is helping people find ways to express emotions and reflect on experiences without having to find the words. Art therapy is different for everyone. Sometimes it looks like art as therapy, other times it is art in therapy.

Caitlin Dell Iannucci ’02

“If you had told me ten years ago that I would have my own practice, I probably would not have believed you,” she says. “But, in addition to having the world of psychology opened to me, the greatest lessons I learned at Sacred Heart were leadership and service to others through compassion. I find myself operating from those core values every day.”

Melanie Dabakis Degliuomini ’05 THE PHYSICIAN

As early as her sophomore year at Sacred Heart, Melanie Dabakis Degliuomini, MD knew that she wanted a career in medicine.

That year, her father succumbed to pancreatic cancer and, Melanie says, “I wanted to dedicate my life to a field that could do great good for others experiencing what my father and family went through.”

After graduating from Fordham University with a BS in biology, Melanie obtained her MS and then her MD at Drexel University College of Medicine. Currently a third-year resident in pediatrics at New York-Presbyterian/ Weill Cornell Medical College, she plans to specialize in pediatric oncology. “I always knew I wanted to focus on oncology,” she says, “but my interest in pediatrics began during medical school when I was on rotation at St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children.” Starting next year, she will be doing a three-year fellowship in pediatric hematology/oncology.

Children are amazing. They are beyond resilient. They can be acutely ill, admitted into the hospital, while having smiles on their faces and holding their favorite toys.

As a pediatrics resident, Melanie sees 15 to 20 children each day when she is on an outpatient rotation and 20 to 30 children daily on an inpatient rotation. Her young patients range from those coming in for well-child visits, to urgent care cases, to acutely ill children being admitted to the hospital.

“Children are amazing,” she says. “They are beyond resilient. They can be acutely ill, admitted into the hospital, while having smiles on their faces and holding their favorite toys.”

Still, she says, the obvious difficulty in her chosen field of pediatric hematology/ oncology is the challenge of treating children with cancer. Despite the groundbreaking therapeutic advances and new treatment options on the horizon, Melanie notes

lexia Kedves Volpe is doing now exactly what she hoped she would be doing nearly 20 years ago, when she was a junior in the Biotechnology and Ethics course taught by Sr. Mary Jane Paolella, ASCJ, ’65. “That was the first time I was aware of what research was about,” she says, “and I knew then that I wanted to do that kind of hands-on science.”

that there will always be children whose cancer is just too severe, not responsive, or unfortunately recurs. “And these,” she says, “are by far the most difficult and heartbreaking moments.”

At the same time, she notes, “The rewarding aspects of the field are endless. You treat the child in both their worst times and their best times. I cherish the long-term relationships formed with not only the patient, but the entire family. The rapport you build enables you to take this often lengthy and terrifying journey with them.”

The work is difficult, with long hours and intense intellectual and emotional demands.

But Melanie is devoted to the profession that she always wanted to be part of. “My work ethic is something that I absolutely learned at Sacred Heart,” she says. “I also want to honor the influence that Sr. Mary Jane Paolella had on me. I will never forget her introducing us to the concept of DNA sequencing, and her pride in us as ‘budding female scientists.’ As I continue on my path, I will always be grateful for what she taught me.”

Alexia went on to major in cell and molecular biology at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. After graduation, she worked for three years in neuroscience research at Yale — focusing on learning and memory in the context of drug addiction — then earned a master’s degree at Quinnipiac University in cell and molecular biology.

Since 2009, she has been an investigator at Novartis Institute for Biomedical Research in Cambridge, Massachusetts. In her first years at Novartis, she was part of a team working to understand the essential cellular mechanisms of TP53, the most commonly mutated gene in several kinds of cancer — ”really early stage cell biology,” she says.

For the past three years, Alexia has been working closely with Novartis’ chemists on a project that focuses on epigenetics — the study of changes in organisms that are caused by modification of gene expression (turning genes on or off ) rather than alteration of the genetic code itself. She explains, “We are working on an epigenetic target that changes the chromatin state — the accessibility of your DNA to have genes turn on and off. That state can change depending on whether a cell is a normal cell or a cancer cell. The ultimate goal is to create an agent that could be given with standard chemotherapy to make the therapy more effective, to target it more precisely, or to be able to reduce the dosage, since chemo can be toxic.” The result, she says, could be longer, or at least healthier lives for a number of patients.

What is fascinating from a research perspective is how different each cancer is and how differently even the same disease affects each person because everything can affect one’s DNA.

What is fascinating from a research perspective, Alexia notes, is how different each cancer is and how differently even the same disease affects each person because everything can affect one’s DNA — age, gender, environmental factors. What is frustrating is that that complexity means that the goal for any project, including her current one, may be a distance away, or may not be met at all.

Alexia Kedves Volpe ’01

Still, the successes are exhilarating. “So many research projects do not yield the desired results,” she says. “I have been here for ten years and none of the compounds I’ve worked on have been given to a person. But I hope that what I am working on now will. What keeps us going is the knowledge that any project we are working on could change or save someone’s life.”

Lauren Uscinski ’05 THE ADVANCED PRACTICE NURSE

A

lthough she knew early on that she wanted to enter a science-related field — Sacred Heart’s focus on women in the sciences and, in particular, the Biotechnology and Ethics class taught by Sr. Mary Jane Paolella, ASCJ, ‘65 left a major impression on her — Lauren Uscinski, DNP, APRN, PPCNP-BC, CPHON® thought that her future lay in becoming a physician. “But my mom kept nudging me also to look into nursing and I eventually realized that the advanced practice role could be a perfect fit.

Nurses are trained from day one to see the patient as a whole person.”

Around the time she was accepted to Yale, Lauren’s dad was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. “During my Saturday rotations,” she says, “I spent time with him on Smilow’s transplant unit before returning to take care of my patients. While the experience was difficult, it solidified that I was where I needed to be, doing what I needed to be doing.”

After obtaining a degree in biology from Wake Forest University, and while applying

to nursing programs, Lauren worked at Yale’s Smilow Cancer Hospital, where her fascination with oncology began. Although she entered Yale School of Nursing on the oncology nurse practitioner (NP) track, pediatric hematology/oncology “clicked” for her, and she switched to the pediatric NP program. She also has a doctor of nursing practice (DNP) degree from the University of Miami.

Upon graduating from Yale, Lauren went to work as an NP in pediatric neuro-oncology at Miami (now Nicklaus) Children’s Hospital. She then took a position in the pediatric bone marrow unit at Miami’s Holtz Children’s Hospital, and has been clinical transplant nurse practitioner there since 2014. Her patients range from the youngest children to young adults up to 21. Most have a cancer diagnosis, but bone marrow transplants are also a treatment option for conditions like sickle cell anemia and immunodeficiency syndromes.

With an average patient stay of about six weeks, Lauren says that patients and their families can become like family to the staff, creating both the most difficult and the most rewarding parts of Lauren’s job. “We are all acutely aware that we have little lives on the line,” she says. “When patients don’t make it, going back to work the next day can be difficult. But we also get to celebrate when they go home to live their lives, and when we get updates that someone celebrated a milestone birthday or graduated from college.”

Lauren notes that relating her own experience — her dad needed a second bone marrow transplant a few years after the first — helps patients open up to her, especially at the most difficult times. “Transplant is a highly complex and rapidly evolving field,” she says “and I have learned to become a better advocate for the nursing profession and my patients. They know that I know what they are going through, and they can let me offer them hope.”

The Volunteers The individuals profiled here are just a few of the many in the Sacred Heart community who, as volunteers, raise funds for cancer research and provide support for cancer patients and their families.

KIM DWYER, P’11, ’14

“My father was diagnosed with lung cancer after my freshman year in college,” she says. “To say that the diagnosis turned our entire family upside down would be an understatement.” She participated in the Hamden/North Haven Relay For Life® for several years but wanted a bigger challenge.

After seeing a television ad for the Susan G. Komen® Foundation, she attended an

“I am a ten-year breast cancer survivor,” says Kim Dwyer, mother of Emma ‘11 and Megan ‘14. “I wanted to help others who are going through the same experiences I had.”

As a patient-to-patient volunteer at Yale’s Smilow Cancer Hospital, Kim has mentored more than 25 women, spending time talking with them about non-medical issues and the recovery process. She also volunteers twice a month in Smilow’s patient/family resource room, making bracelets of hope with patients and survivors. They have distributed more than five thousand bracelets — used to raise money for cancer-related charities — in the past decade.

In addition to spending several hours on a month on these activities, Kim chaired the annual Looking Forward Fashion Show for six years. Attended by over five hundred people, the show features as its models cancer patients and survivors, as well as Smilow staff.

The money raised goes to Smilow’s integrative medicine program, which offers patients complementary healing therapies such as massage, reiki, and art therapy, and also provides wigs.

“Smilow is a wonderful place to volunteer,” she says, “and you don’t have to be a cancer survivor to volunteer there. I love meeting with patients and talking to them about their journey, and I hope that, in our conversations, they can see that I was once like them (bald!) and that their lives can return to normal.”

information session, heard the statistics about breast cancer (one in eight women), and undertook her first Susan G. Komen® 3-Day. “I walk 60 miles over three days alongside a thousand other women and men determined to find a cure for cancer,” she says. In order to participate in a walk, each participant must raise $2,300 for that event. To date, Shannon has raised over $34,000. This November, she will take part in her fourteenth walk, accompanied by her daughter, Morgan Dubay ‘20, doing her first Susan G. Komen® 3-Day.

I can’t stop cancer from hitting my family or others’ families again, but through my involvement, I can make the odds of survival better. I continue to walk because I cannot walk away.

The money raised goes to both scientific research and community programs that provide screening to underserved women and men, and offer services needed during treatment. “Through my involvement,” Shannon says, “I’ve become a part of something much bigger than myself. I feel like I am doing something about something that I otherwise would be helpless against. I can’t stop cancer from hitting my family or others’ families again, but through my involvement, I can make the odds of survival better. I continue to walk because I cannot walk away.”

EMILY LABRANCHE MAUD ’94 Emily Maud and her family are part of the leadership committee for the Naugatuck Valley Relay for Life® event, held every June in Shelton. Relay For Life®, the signature fundraiser for the American Cancer Society, is staffed and coordinated by volunteers in

Komen® 3-Day. thousands of communities and over two dozen countries.

They were inspired to volunteer, she says, by their own loss. “My father was diagnosed with lung cancer when I was 23 and pregnant with my first son,” Emily says. “He battled the disease for three years, and then he was gone three weeks before my second son was born.

I lost my dad way too early, and my sons were robbed of their grandfather.”

For the past few years, Emily’s primary responsibility has been creating the garden of hope and the caregiver recognition ceremony each year. Those two pieces together support and honor not only cancer patients but also the people who care for and support them.

“I am proud to be part of this event,” she says, “knowing that it makes a difference in our community not only to those facing the beast that is cancer, but also as a support to those who are walking beside them on this most difficult journey. We offer a sense of family and camaraderie so that no one feels alone.

We celebrate those who fought and won, we remember those we have lost, and we fight back in the hope that one day no one will hear the words ‘you have cancer’ ever again.”

LIA MOREGGI NEGELE ‘08 A number of Boston area organizations are the beneficiaries of Lia Moreggi Negele’s belief in the power of volunteering.

“Everyone has a skill to bring to the table,” Lia says, and she does everything from cooking meals at Ronald McDonald House — where families can stay at little or no cost to be close to their hospitalized children — to selling tickets for benefit events supporting Boston Children’s Hospital.

Lia also works with organizations specifically focused on cancer treatment and support.

She raises funds with the Never Give Up team that participates in the Pan-Mass Challenge, a cycling event that donates all rider-raised dollars to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. The Pan-Mass Challenge is the largest athletic fundraiser in the country. For the Sunshine Kids Foundation, which provides free activities for children undergoing cancer treatment, Lia sells tickets to its annual comedy show fundraiser, and helps publicize the event.

Lia donates four to six hours of her time each month. Sometimes, she says supporting is as simple as sharing information on social media or donating money. “Getting involved,” she adds, “can also mean digging in and working on a committee to make the event happen.”

And it may sound like a cliché, but Lia wants others to know about the benefits of volunteering — for the volunteer! “The best part,” she says “is being surrounded by the energy of individuals in the same room, looking to move a mission forward. You can’t help but walk away feeling more at peace when you are a part of something bigger than you.”

“Get out of your comfort zone,” she advises, “and you will find opportunities of all shapes and sizes.”

AT SACRED HEART ACADEMY

A Milestone in Our History Takes Shape In 2016, the Academy embarked on Ever Higher – The Campaign for Sacred Heart Academy to raise funds for the five million dollar School Center. This project represents Phase I of the school’s ten-year master plan.

A

rainy day could not dampen the spirits of over 400 attendees when, this past June, we gathered to break ground for a new School Center. Students, faculty and staff, alumnae, Advisory Council members, campaign cabinet and committee members, Sisters, and guests came together for First Friday mass followed by the blessing and groundbreaking ceremony.

The new School Center is being constructed in front of the existing building, connecting the Philip Paolella, Jr. Recreational Center and the original main entrance.

Visitors will soon enter the school from ground level in full view of the relocated main office. “We love having visitors,” said President Sr. Sheila O’Neill, ASCJ, Ph.D., ’71, “and we want them to feel welcome. The new configuration will be a central hub for the school while providing enhanced safety and security.”

The president’s office, principal’s office, and offices for admissions and alumnae affairs will be situated near the main office, and conference rooms will provide convenient meeting space for alumnae, academic departments, the Advisory Council, and Mothers’ and Fathers’ Clubs, among other groups. This new wing — an educational, social, and cultural center — will offer improved accessibility for those with physical challenges and include a student commons and art gallery for exhibiting student and visiting artists’ works. Relocated offices will free rooms in the main building for use by faculty to meet with students and parents, and for student clubs and activities; such meeting spaces are currently in short supply.

Center. This project represents Phase I of the school’s ten-year master plan, spearheaded by Sr. Sheila and approved in 2015 by the Apostle’s Board of Directors and Sacred Heart Academy Advisory Council.

Phases II and III, even more far-reaching, include expanding the cafeteria by flipping its orientation from horizontal to vertical, and allowing space for creation of new classrooms for fine arts and a spacious atrium for large gatherings and concerts. On the long-range drawing board in Phase III is a new building that will house a larger student commons, a faculty commons, and a theatre; the building will also benefit the sports program, as former classrooms will be repurposed for athletics.

The construction company, FIP of Farmington, has extensive experience serving educational institutions, while David Thompson Architects, the New Haven-based architectural firm that designed the new School Center, also has extensive experience working with educational and religious communities throughout the region.

Architect David Thompson (AIA) believes that this project represents an important opportunity for Sacred Heart… “Sacred Heart has built a stellar reputation for quality secondary education. The construction of the new space is important in projecting the school’s identity, linking its programs and activities into a more tightly integrated physical plant.” He also notes the critical participation of the entire Sacred Heart community in shaping the design.

Completion of the 7,250 square-foot space is slated for the beginning of the 2019 academic year. If you’re in the area, please stop up to see the progress.

Carley LaRosa ’21 HER LIFE WITH ANIMALS

I

miniature pet cow.” The Jolly Ranchers, she notes, work together to learn all they can about dairy cattle and agriculture, show their cows, and engage in community service.

Carley’s love for animals permeates her life.

Living in Meriden with her parents and younger brother, Carley maintains a hobby farm whose residents include Sorrella, a full-size Jersey cow named Design, a miniature horse named Sage,

Carley explains the extent of preparation required to show a cow. “All year I train my cows in proper show ring etiquette and correct walking pace,” she says. “The goal is for the cows to present in a calm, cool, and collected manner.” As a fair draws closer, she trims and grooms their hair, makes sure they are eating the right amount of food, and has them checked by her veterinarian. “On show day,” she continues, “I dress my cows in all white, as a

taught me strong leadership skills, independence, and networking skills. 4-H also offers the chance to help others in our communities.”

Although her animals are at the center of her life, Carley has a number of other interests. She is an avid equestrian who has been riding since she was very young. She is fascinated by the ocean and boating, loves to ski, and enjoys gardening, cooking, and travel. In thinking about a future career in veterinary medicine she says, “I think it would be absolutely amazing if I could combine my desire to help animals with my love of traveling. For example, if I could be a veterinarian who works with gorillas in Africa, or

Currently president of her 4-H club, called the Jolly Ranchers, Carley developed her interest in cattle when she was in the fourth grade. “I asked my parents every single day if I could have a cow,” she says. “After a few years, they realized that my obsession with cows was not just a phase, and they bought me my first

symbol of the cleanliness and purity of milk and dairy heritage. When I have my cows all shiny and beautiful, I put on their leather show halters and enter the ring.” Last year, Carley’s cow, Design, won supreme grand champion at the 4-H Fair.

In addition to serving as president of the Jolly Ranchers, Carley is corresponding and recording secretary for the Middlesex and New Haven County 4-H Fair Association. She says, “Being a part of 4-H for almost five years has

who cares for wild pandas or elephants in Asia.”

In the meantime, Carley treasures the presence of the animals in her life. “Both school and my animals teach me so much more than I can put into words,” she says. Her farm is her oasis.

“Coming home from school and doing something as simple as going for a carriage ride with Sage or going for a walk with the cows makes my soul feel clean and opens up my eyes to the beautiful world around me.”

EXCELSIOR LIVES

Carole Stackpole ’67 A WOMAN OF COMPASSION AND INTEGRITY

F

rom the time she was a little girl growing up in Wallingford as the oldest of five children, Carole Stackpole ‘67 knew that she wanted to be a teacher.

Which brings us to the non-academic part of Carole’s legacy... “I wanted students to realize that they were fully capable of understanding math and of taking care of their own finances,” she says. “Too often, young women are not encouraged to learn math, and feel that they can handle financial situations.” In fact, on the first day of each new class, Carole gave each student an eraser cap to communicate the message that making mistakes was okay. “We learn from our mistakes,” she says. “No one is perfect. And, if a student needed another eraser, I would give it to her and say, ‘You made a bunch of mistakes — and look at how much you’ve learned!’ Above all, I wanted our students to believe in themselves.”

“My parents believed in Catholic education,” she says, “so two of my sisters also graduated from Sacred Heart, one went to Mercy High School in Middletown, and my brother went to Xavier in Middletown.” Carole, in turn, has spent her entire teaching career in Catholic schools at all grade levels and in different parts of the country. From 1999 to 2018, we at Sacred Heart were fortunate to have her as a math teacher on our faculty.

After obtaining her B.S. in mathematics from Duquesne University, Carole spent 12 years at Cor Jesu Academy in St. Louis, Missouri, Sacred Heart’s sister school. There, she taught both religion and math, served as chair of the Mathematics Department, moderated the Athletic Association, served as financial administrator, and managed the bookstore.

From Cor Jesu, she went to Sacred Heart School in the Bronx, where she was financial administrator and taught middle school math.

During that time, she obtained her master’s degree in special education from the University of Missouri.

She also taught at Clelian Heights School for Exceptional Children in Greensburg, Pennsylvania, returned to Sacred Heart School as a math teacher and the school’s principal, and worked as math curriculum coordinator for the Office of Catholic Schools in Hartford before joining Sacred Heart Academy’s Mathematics Department.

During her nearly two decades here, Carole taught all levels of math, served for five years as

department chair, produced several iterations of the annual musical, ran the bookstore for several years, and acted as freshman moderator. Her most enduring academic legacy is the personal finance course that she instituted in 2003. “I started out with about ten students,” she says.

“By the time I retired, I had four sections with 20 or more students in each.” The course covered such topics as budgeting, how to use a bank, insurance, saving for retirement, taxes, identity theft, credit reports, and what to know about buying a house or a car.

For the last few years of the course, the H & R Block company offered an online ten-week simulation in which each student had to make choices about a job, insurance, bank, credit card, student loan, car payments, and other financial matters, and had to pay bills on time and learn how to budget and answer questions and surveys. “At first,” Carole says, “the students were very stressed. But, eventually, I heard them say ‘I think I can do this when I grow up.’”

Outside the classroom, Carole has also been dedicated to helping others. As a Eucharistic minister in her parish in Wallingford, she brings communion to homebound parishioners, serves on the school board, and works with students who need help with math. She volunteers at Master’s Manna, a faith-based not-for-profit in Wallingford that serves homeless, near homeless, and low to moderate income families and individuals. She is a “friendly volunteer” at Masonicare, where she provides companionship and conversation to residents. Her personal interests include involvement in the lives of her great nieces and great nephews, knitting, reading, and following UConn women’s basketball. “I am a big fan!” she says.

Faithful to the vision of founding principal Sr. Antonine Signorelli, ASCJ, Sacred Heart Academy has never been content to produce solely academically gifted students. It also seeks to form women of compassion and integrity, who excel in a variety of disciplines and areas of life. In her personal and professional life, Carole exemplifies the meaning of Ever Higher.

The Admissions Office has implemented OnBoard, the enrollment component of the website, so we have a new online application and the ability to create inquiry forms to collect information from prospective students and families. OnBoard will be managed by the Admissions Office and our new Director of Marketing and Student Enrollment Kara McQuire Redente ’99.

Also new is the “page pop” feature, which allows us to create timely announcements. All visitors to any page of the site, whether the homepage or a news article, will see the pop-up with the option to then dismiss.

Much of the summer was spent updating information across the site and updating photos, a process that will continue throughout the school year. During this school year, we will continue to use OnlineExpress to process gifts and online registrations, and we will be setting up an online school store.

T

o be an Excelsior Woman is to be a woman of the heart, a woman, above all else, with a strong moral compass, a woman of character, integrity, and compassion. Oftentimes our Excelsior Women are visible and notable in the community for the difference they are making as doctors and nurses, lawyers and judges, scientists and researchers, teachers, and writers.

In this feature we capture a snapshot of life at the Academy with 265 words or so from a faculty or staff member, a student, or an alumna.

However, I believe there is another important group of Excelsior Women that deserves to be highlighted. A woman of the heart lives first and foremost in the home and in the family. Saint Teresa of Calcutta once said, “If you want to change the world, go home and love your family.”

Some of the most influential Sacred Heart Academy alumnae whom I have had the pleasure of knowing are less visible, but are women of the heart and embody the mission and the charism of the Apostles of the Sacred Heart of Jesus nonetheless.

One woman who epitomizes Excelsior is Kerry Marcio Guidone ’94. She homeschools her six beautiful children: Michael (12), Clare (10), Gabriel (8), Philomena (6), Francesco (4), and Angelina (2). Kerry is passionately pursuing holiness with and for her family. As a family, they begin each day attending the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. She and her husband, Michael, are raising the next generation of saints. The most important work any of us will ever do is within the walls of our own home. Let us Excelsior Women recommit ourselves to living Excelsior on the smallest, most intimate level of our relationships, in our homes, and in our families.

FROM THE DIRECTOR Dear Friends of Sacred Heart, In the summer of 1946, country singer/songwriter David Allan Coe wrote, “It’s not the beauty of the building you should look at; it’s the construction of the foundation that will stand the test of time.”

He was right.

Each day, as we drive up the hill to the Academy and watch the construction of our new School Center, we are reminded that you are the foundation that will truly stand the test of time.

Thank you for being our footing, our base, our support.

2017-2018 was a banner year of giving. Alumnae, parents, grandparents, students, faculty, staff, friends, and business partners allowed us to achieve record-breaking fundraising results. Our capital campaign ended on a high note, due to the generosity of Megan McLeod Hernandez ’74 and her husband, who helped us succeed by initiating a challenge match of $150,000. We are forever grateful to Megan and Rick, and to the hundreds of incredibly generous donors who helped us not only achieve, but exceed, our campaign goal of five million dollars. Along with our always-strong Annual Fund, an all-time high #GivingTuesday, and highly successful Musical Ad Campaign, Auction, and Golf Tournament, we were able to

Just as strong bonds suggests, our foundation “shall ne’er in life be broken.”

finish the year with more than $1.27 million.

Your gifts helped our students by providing much-needed tuition assistance to nearly 40 percent of our families and secured the future of the Academy with our ever-growing Endowment Fund. We are grateful to each of you who made Sacred Heart Academy a charity of choice. We are thankful to those who established named scholarships, and to those who included Sacred Heart in their estate planning. Just as strong bonds suggests, our foundation “shall ne’er in life be broken.”

From the bottom of my heart, and from all of us at Sacred Heart, thank you! Thank you for being our foundation. We will indeed stand the test of time.

Gratefully in His Heart,

Debbie Camner Director of Mission Advancement

I am honored to support the school’s musical, which fosters an appreciation for the arts. The arts inspire us — encouraging creativity, goodness, and beauty — and are fundamental to our humanity. The arts also are an important component of healthy communities, strengthening them socially, educationally, and economically — benefits that persist even in difficult social and economic times.

“

My granddaughters — Madeline ’16, Katherine ’18, and Lauren Fitzgerald ’21 — have all greatly benefitted from the strong academic program. I love that my granddaughters’ Catholic faith is nourished every day at school and, in particular, in the Academy’s beautiful chapel. Therefore, it is an easy decision to support Sacred Heart Academy each year.

Supporting Sacred Heart Academy is my way of giving back and expressing appreciation to an academic institution that has had such a profound effect on who I am today. The curriculum, sports, and fine arts, as well as the commitment to solid core values, contributed significantly to my wonderful family life, my deep faith, and successful career. It is my hope that the next generation of young women will experience the same Sacred Heart riches.

LAUREN CELENTANO ’16 — FROM SHA TO SHU

SOPHOMORE DANCES HER WAY INTO ITALIAN HEARTS Posted on August 17, 2018 in Artists’ Corner, From the Heart, Top Stories ı Sacred Heart University Magazine ı reprinted with permission

By Kimberly Swartz After eight months competing in Italy’s popular talent show, Amici, Lauren Celentano wins three awards and €50,000.

stage. “I loved how excited the audience was and sharing that feeling with family and friends,” she said. The thrill of being on stage and performing never left Celentano, who also is involved in SHU’s choral and theater arts programs.

Sacred Heart University sophomore Lauren Celentano began a journey last year that took her to places she never imagined, and it’s not over yet.

During the first five months Celentano was on Amici, she lived in a hotel in Rome’s business district with other contestants. As the show progressed, she moved into a house with the show’s remaining participants in March and stayed there until Amici concluded in June.

Celentano, a member of SHU’s dance company, left the U.S. in the summer of 2017 for Italy, where she auditioned to compete on that country’s popular talent show, Amici. After eight hard months of work, passion and persistence, she emerged as the winner of the show’s dance portion and fourthplace winner overall.

“There’s nothing like this show in America,” Celentano said, comparing it to the 1980 movie, Fame. “It’s set up like a school where we learn how to be stars.”

Now, wherever she goes in Italy, she’s greeted by frantic crowds and paparazzi. She recently bought sunglasses to keep from being recognized.

“It’s crazy,” Celentano, 19, said from Imperia, Italy, in late July. “I really didn’t expect this to happen.”

Her adventure began when Kari Williams, SHU Dance Program director, took Celentano and 11 other program members to the World Dance Movement, an international dance workshop and competition in Bari, Italy. There, dancers train each year with the foremost dance educators in the world and compete for cash and scholarships. Casting directors from Amici were at the workshop, scouting for talent. The directors saw Celentano at one of the convention’s classes and they approached her about auditioning for the show. Celentano impressed them with her skills during two auditions, and they immediately wanted her on Amici.

Celentano had to make a tough decision: going on Amici meant putting off college and being away from friends and family. Ultimately, she decided to take the opportunity and go on the show, which showcases dancers and singers as they rehearse, perform and compete. She went to Rome with her mother, Felicity, in November, but when she learned she would have to speak Italian only on the show, she started to have second thoughts. “I told my mom, ‘I can’t do this,’” Celentano recalled. She said her mother told her to give it a chance.

Lauren Celentano ’16.

“I was so scared that without the language, I wasn’t going to be able to express myself,” Celentano said.

“As a human being, we need to communicate. I thought ‘How am I going to win over the hearts of the people watching if I can’t speak the language?’ ” The Cheshire resident said she experienced some low times during the show’s first few months.

Personable by nature, Celentano was feeling depressed. “I just didn’t think I was going to make it,” she said, but after about four months of studying Italian with a tutor, she started to understand and speak the language.

Because of Celentano’s passion for dancing, her emotions showed through her talent. “That was really my way of expressing myself, and that’s what a lot of people said to me. They told me they understood me as a person because of my dancing,” she said.

The Thrill of the Stage Celentano started dancing at age 4 and began competitive dancing at 8. While growing up, she didn’t always love going to rehearsals, but she enjoyed the year-end recitals and “loved” being on

After months of rehearsal and overcoming a leg injury, Celentano won first place in the show’s dance category and received €50,000 (nearly $58,000 in U.S. dollars). She won the critic’s award as well. “I felt so honored,” Celentano said.

Still in Italy, Celentano is getting used to her fame, making appearances and deciding whether to take on dance opportunities in the country. She said she has learned much from her experiences.

“Things happen for a reason,” she said, noting that she originally wanted to attend a performing arts school in New York but wasn’t accepted. She decided to go to SHU, where she found great opportunities and support. “Everything that happened, happened because of SHU,” she said.

Though it may sound like a cliché, Celentano said, hard work is important. “Before talent, before anything else, you have to be hard-working. There was a lot of talent on the show, but not everyone had the passion. It was really difficult; you have to be so disciplined.”

Celentano said she also learned about herself while on Amici. It was the first time she was really alone, with no friends or family nearby. “I really experienced self-discovery and growth,” she said.

“I’m really glad I did this. I’m still the same Lauren, just more sure of myself.”

IN MEMORIAM

Richard A. Gagliardi 1933 - 2018

REMEMBERING A BELOVED ATHLETIC DIRECTOR

W

ith family at his side, former Sacred Heart athletic director and math teacher Richard A. Gagliardi died peacefully on July 2 at the age of 84. Dick lived a fulfilling life enriched by family devotion, service to country, and more than a half-century of academic and athletic achievement.

Dick attended Hamden High School, where he starred in varsity football, hockey, and track.

In his senior year, Hamden’s hockey team won the New England High School Championship and Dick was named All-American New England Defenseman. He attended Boston College on a full four-year scholarship, graduating in 1956 with letters in hockey and football. In 1954 and again in 1956, he played on the Eagles’ ECAC championship hockey teams that advanced to the NCAA finals.

From 1956 to 1958, Dick served honorably in the United States Marines Corps. During his

tour of duty in Hawaii, he met Manon, the love of his life, whom he later married.

In 1960, Dick was named head coach of the Yale freshman hockey team. Five years later, he was named the head varsity coach. After leaving collegiate coaching, he was appointed associate business manager of athletics at Yale.

Sports and coaching young athletes remained year-round passions. As the director of SVS Hockey School, which conducted summer sessions at Taft School, Berkshire School, St. George’s School, Portsmouth Abbey School, and Brown University, Dick oversaw thousands of youth leaguers who traveled from across the nation to these New England locations for expert instruction from the nation’s leading collegiate, high school, and prep school coaches.

He taught mathematics at Hamden High School for 37 years and, when he “retired,” became our athletic director. He oversaw the gym renovation, installation of the fitness room, and the new track. He brought lacrosse, field hockey, and indoor track and field to Sacred Heart and was thrilled to learn that we

now have an ice hockey team. For all of this and more, “Coach” was named a Heart of the Community recipient in 2007.

By the time Dick took his final curtain call after a long career, he had “retired” three times: from Hamden High’s classroom in 1993; from the helm of Hamden High’s varsity hockey team in 2001; and from here as athletic director and math teacher. At the dinner we gave to honor his third retirement, Dick shared the following, “Success in sports is not measured by the scoreboard, the trophies on your shelf, or the news clippings in your scrapbook. Success means loving to play as much at 60 as you do at 16. This love will last when you respect yourself, your teammates, and your opponents.”

We will miss you, Dick, and extend our deepest condolences to Manon, your sons Joseph A. Gagliardi, M.D. and Richard A. Gagliardi, and your extended family.

The family requested that donations in Dick’s honor be made to Sacred Heart. Please contact Director of Mission Advancement Debbie Camner at dcamner@sacredhearthamden.org if you have questions.
