Marin Catholic leads in fair trade initiative
Catholic values at heart of new
initiative aimed at ‘economic justice’

Student members of the Marin Catholic Fair Trade Committee and social studies teacher Lynn Maloney introduced the school to
the fair trade concept last October with an event that showed them popular products with fair trade alternatives.
An oversized chocolate-chip muffin sold in the
school’s cafeteria is offering Marin Catholic High
School students and perhaps some faculty and staff
what may be their first taste of fair trade economics.
The chocolate chips baked into the popular muffins, and indeed all chocolate and/or chocolate
ingredients sold or used by the school now comes
from “fair trade” sources. Fair trade is an economic
concept that means that the human beings behind
the goods are offered a living wage for their work
and are treated fairly and ethically.
Marin Catholic became the first fair trade school
in Marin County in late 2015 after meeting requirements set by Fair Trade Campaigns, a grass-roots
organizing nonprofit that helps U.S. towns, churches
and schools “go fair trade.”
It is the 18th school in the nation and just one of
two Catholic schools in the state to earn the certification thanks to a motivated teacher, a committee of
passionate students and an equally-committed food
service management company working together on
an issue they say is rooted in Catholic values.
“As a Catholic school, it’s an idea that syncs

Conception parish in San Francisco.
One reluctant student was “bouncing out of
bed” and dragging his mother out the door to get
to school in time for 7 a.m. work sessions while
another girl found a sense of confidence that alleviated her anxiety about school. Those were just
two of what St. Anthony-Immaculate Conception
principal Barbara Moodie called “unexpected
consequences” from bringing the Lego robotics
challenge to three schools in San Francisco’s Mission District this school year.
St. Peter, St. James and St. Anthony-Immaculate
Conception schools participated for the first time
and joined together to host a First Lego League
Qualifying Tournament: “Mission: Trash Trek
2015” on Nov. 21. Fifteen Bay Area teams competed
in the tournament held at St. Anthony-Immaculate Conception parish. Children from 80 countries
participate in the 2015 Trash Trek Challenge. Students, ages 9-14, design, build and program Lego
robots to solve the problem of trash collection,
sorting, composting, and recycling.
“We started in September. We didn’t have a lot of
time,” said Albert Bricker, technology coordinator
for SAIC and St. James, who was the tournament

Catholic schools’ Christ-centered
character defines their purpose
Nina Russo
Superintendent of Catholic Schools
The Department of Catholic
Schools is excited about the future
of Catholic education in San Francisco. Today almost 3,100 faculty and
staff are educating more than 25,000
students in 73 Catholic schools and
working with thousands of enthusiastic parents who want a Catholic
education for their children. We are
a vibrant part of the second largest
school system in the United States.
That said, Catholic schools face
challenges. And if they are to
survive and thrive, they must meet
these challenges head-on and make
wise choices and astute adjustments. But this is not new. It has
been the story of American Catholic
education from the very beginning.
Catholic schools in the archdiocese are making a difference in San
Francisco and they will continue to
do so, following a simple plan for success. The schools will be distinctively
Christ-centered institutions whose
Catholic identity, character, mission,
and culture defines their nature and
purpose. They will offer an excellent
academic experience that challenges
all students and makes them competitive in the academic marketplace.
They will continue to serve students
and families no matter their financial situation. They will work closely
with parents in the full formation of
their children. This defined Catholic
education in San Francisco in the
past. It also will be what keeps Catholic education vital in the future.

National Catholic Schools Week Jan. 31 – Feb 6
National Catholic Schools
Week is the annual celebration
of Catholic education in the
United States. It starts the last
Sunday in January and runs all
week, which in 2016 is Janu-
ary 31 - February 6. This year’s
theme is “Catholic Schools:
Communities of Faith, Knowledge and Service.”

Father Cameron Faller was ordained in June and started as a
theology teacher and chaplain at
Archbishop Riordan High School in
August. Father Mark Doherty was
ordained one and one-half years ago
and also was assigned to an archdiocesan Catholic high school, Sacred
Heart Cathedral Preparatory, immediately.
Archbishop Salvatore J. Cordileone
said his own experience as a young
priest working as a chaplain at a local
Catholic high school influenced his
placement of the priests.
“Although 30 years later, I still have
fond memories of the year when, as a
young priest, I taught and ministered
part time in a local Catholic high
school. I learned then how well young
students respond to the presence and

Archbishop Cordileone said.
“I have felt truly blessed to be on
the campus and to just deal with the
guys,” said Father Faller, 27.
The archdiocese approved a special
Sunday evening Mass at the school
once a month and Father Faller
also celebrates the school’s monthly
Masses, as well as the 7:10 a.m. Friday
Mass in the chapel. He teaches theology, goes on retreats, but also is the
chaplain of the football team, goes
to games, attends team dinners and
spends as much time as possible with
the boys at Riordan, he said. “The
role of the chaplain needs to be to
have this personal encounter with
the students, to have that personal
presence.”

schools, the four archdiocesan high schools,” said
Msgr. Robert Sheeran, director of mission and
ministry at Marin Catholic High School, and the
only full-time chaplain at an archdiocesan Catholic
high school. Msgr. Sheeran began in 2011, following
former president Father Tom Daly’s appointment
as bishop. He retired as president of Seton Hall
University, having spent a lifetime working with
young people.
Father Faller also is parochial vicar at Church of
the Epiphany and Father Doherty is also parochial
vicar for St. Peter and for St. Anthony-Immaculate
Conception parishes.
“It is an age when students are beginning to
grapple with the really big questions in life, and are
open to deepening their life of faith. Young priests
can create great excitement for the Lord among
our young people, and young people can bring forth
all the best pastoral instincts in new priests,” said
Archbishop Cordileone.
“I experienced that myself, and that’s the reason I take such delight in appointing young or
new priests as chaplains in our archdiocesan high
schools. They help our students discover their
vocation in life and so respond to God’s call to holiness, and the students in return help our priests
to grow more deeply in their priestly identity and
spirituality,” the archbishop said.
“Chaplains are significantly invested in their
schools as role models of the priesthood in this complex and often fragmented world, and in my experience, receive enormous gratitude for their work from
both students and parents,” said Nina Russo, archdiocesan schools superintendent. “Priests who become
part of our children’s lives bring beauty, kindness
and truth to the high school community, countering
the noise and distractions of adolescence.”
“It’s been great having Father Faller here,” said
Vittorio Anastasio, principal of Riordan High
School. “Father Faller does an excellent job of
mentoring the student leaders and in return they
go on to take their roles very seriously and have a
positive impact.”
To Ken Peralta, football coach at Sacred Heart
Cathedral, taking the football team to Mass on
game day helps fulfill what he sees as a primary
reason for a Catholic school education: “To grow
closer to their faith. At the end of the day, that is
the reason for Catholic school.”
At the Friday morning Mass in October, SHC
chaplain Father Doherty tied the demands of the
Catholic faith to the rigors of preparing for football. “If we want to become excellent athletes, if we
want to become excellent football players,” Father
Doherty said in his homily, “we have to find the
will to be excellent down the road.” Father Doherty
urged the players to “find the deeper ground, rely
on the deeper ground.”

Marin Catholic: Leads in fair trade initiative
FROM PAGE 1
with student and staff values,” said social studies
teacher and student activities director Lynn Maloney, the impetus behind Marin Catholic’s fair trade
movement.
Without using the words “fair trade,” two popes
have also supported the idea. “It is good for people
to realize that purchasing is always a moral – and
not simply economic – act,” Pope Benedict XVI said
in his 2009 encyclical, “Caritas in Veritate.” More
recently, Pope Francis appealed for “a return to
person-centered ethics in the world of finance and
economics.”
Catholic Relief Services, the U.S. bishops overseas relief organization, has a website dedicated to
promoting fair trade, crsfairtrade.org.
At Marin Catholic, freshmen are introduced to
fair trade economics, according to Maloney, and
“get all fired up” when they learn about abusive
labor practices in developing countries that can
amount to nothing short of slavery.
“I was surprised how many brands aren’t fair
trade and seeing what people are put through when
they don’t get adequate wages,” said sophomore
Leo Le Merle.
“In my 11 years of teaching, very rarely do I find a
kid who has heard about it prior to coming to school
or really understood it,” Maloney said. “I wanted to
do something positive to channel all their outrage.”
Under the direction of Fair Trade Campaigns,
Maloney first approached the school’s long-standing food service company, the Epicurean Group,
who became enthusiastic partners.
“We really could not have gotten the certification
without them,” she said.
We support our Catholic Elementary Schools in celebrating
Catholic Schools Week.

Lynn Maloney, left, with Nicole Price and Jose Rodriguez
of the Epicurean Group, the school’s food service provider.
Epicurean, a longtime vendor, partnered with Marin Catholic
High School to source fair trade products.
Requirements in becoming a fair trade school include bringing fair trade goods to campus, working
with a permanent vendor or supplier and forming
a student Fair Trade Committee to promote the
campaign.
Fair trade items can encompass a variety of
products including chocolate, coffee, tea, fruit, body
care items and clothing, but Maloney decided the
chocolate-chip muffins were a good place to start.
Epicurean went to work sourcing fair trade chocolate chips and chocolate “sprinkles.”
The cafeteria now offers fair trade teas and honey
and the “snack shack” also features fair trade items.
The Fair Trade Committee, formed from volunteers at all grade levels, helped launch the new
muffins and the fair trade concept with a fun and
food-filled event that displayed popular products
and fair trade alternatives.
The committee turned to social media to help fellow students understand fair trade and spread the
word among friends.
“We asked people to take an Instagram photo with
the hashtag, #mcfairtrade and share it,” said Alex
Sinard, a junior, for a free fair trade cookie. That
was incentive enough, to “clog up the Internet with
support, which is what we wanted,” said Maloney.
In November, the school produced an informational
two-minute video to help gain the support of parents.
“We are fair trade because we want to create a
community of responsible consumers who can
make a positive impact on this world,” said history
teacher Katie Smith, on the short video.
Committee member Jade Fagersten, a junior, said
that people often see a product but not the person
behind the product making or producing it.
“In its entirety fair trade is about people, about
them getting fair pay and respect for their work
and the dignity they deserve,” Fagersten said.

utstanding students are admitted every year to
Marin Catholic from each of our Catholic elementary
schools.
These students are well-rounded, faith filled, and service
oriented. They excel in academics, arts, music, athletics,
and more.
It is on the solid foundation established in our parochial
schools that we build our legacy at Marin Catholic —
a legacy of faith, knowledge, and service.

programming, computer science. It always warms
my heart when they say it all started with robotics,” Fair said.
“One of the mantras is ‘let the kids do the
work,’” Fair said.
“Teams are judged on their projects, robotics
and how well they demonstrate the First Lego
League core values, which include cooperation,
discovery and the spirit of friendly competition,”
Bricker said.
Winners of this qualifying tournament advance
to a regional championship. The season ends with
the FLL World Festival in April in St. Louis.
While none of the three Mission schools made
it past the qualifying round—they met their own
goals and walked away proud and enthused to
continue working with robots in another project
this spring, Bricker said.
Vision of Hope donated $1,000 to pay for the
Lego tournament kits for St. Anthony-Immaculate Conception and St. James, said Nancy
Slepicka, marketing director of the Dominican
Sisters of Mission San Jose nonprofit. Vision
of Hope was started 20 years ago to support
eight Dominican schools, including the two San
Francisco schools, one in Oakland and five in
Los Angeles, Slepicka said. This year Vision of
Hope is giving about $100,000 to each of the eight
schools, she said. “Ninety seven percent of our
student population receives some tuition assistance,” Slepicka said. She said Vision of Hope
raises more than $1 million a year to support
the schools, and has an endowment of about $10
million.

Catholic San Francisco
Walking through the gracious early
20th century front doors of Our Lady
of Mount Carmel School into the polished wood foyer is a bit like taking a
step into a different era.
Principal Teresa Anthony says the
Redwood City Catholic school is “a
special little jewel” that combines the
best of the traditions of the Sisters of
Notre Dame who founded Our Lady
of Mount Carmel as a mission school
in 1885 with preparing students for
the 21st century. The current school
was built in 1932 after the original
converted mansion donated by a millionaire lumberman suffered serious
damage in the 1906 earthquake.
“There’s something about this
school that makes it very exciting to
be part of,” says Anthony, who has
been principal for 26 years, and is the
first lay principal since the Sisters of
Notre Dame de Namur handed over
administration of the school in 1990.
“The families are very supportive of

what the teachers and administration
are trying to accomplish.”
The 340-student elementary school
has a 1:18 teacher to student ratio for
kindergarten to grade 8 and 1:12 in
preschool, pre-kindergarten and a
newly established transitional kindergarten. The southern San Mateo
school is at full enrollment. Today’s
student body includes families whose
ties go back five generations as well
as first generation students whose
parents immigrated from El Salvador,
Mexico and Nicaragua. The extended
care program is run by a former student whose own children attend the
school, for instance. There is a $1 million endowment fund and a generous
financial aid program that supports
those with limited means.
“It is important this school really
represents the parish we serve,” said
Anthony, referring to the large number of Spanish speaking parishioners
who fill Spanish language Masses,
first Communion and catechism
classes at the church. The school
also keeps connected to the Sisters of
Notre Dame, with a biannual Mass
and celebration. “They gave so much
to the school,” Anthony said.
Anthony notes more than 60 percent of teachers have a master’s in
education. The children graduating
from Our Lady of Mount Carmel go
to San Mateo and San Francisco Catholic high schools, San Jose Catholic
high schools and public and private
schools, she said. Nine Our Lady of
Mount Carmel graduates are cursee profile, page CSW13

rently enrolled in the Sophie Scholars
Program, a tuition free scholarship
program for disadvantaged students
at Sacred Heart Atherton, she said.
Cecilia Lumus’ fifth grade daughter recently transferred from public
school. “She’s learning more,” said
Lumus, and “every single day she is
praying” at school.
Ed and Julie Gory’s son Jeremy
is in fifth grade and their daughter
Megan is a ninth grader at Notre
Dame High School, Belmont. “When
Megan entered she was well prepared
for high school, for all the demands of
high school,” said Julie Gory. “They
teach the students to take ownership,
to be vocal.”
Every child is in some kind of dramatic production every year, Anthony
said, from the kindergarten’s “3 Piggy
Opera” to the fourth grade Mission
California pageant and so on. “We
believe it is very important for children to feel comfortable performing in
front of audiences,” Anthony said.
vThe gym is in the old church. The
first floor hallway is lit by ceiling tall
arched windows. The classrooms
have cloakrooms. Hardy 1932 “battleship linoleum” still covers some hall
and classroom floors.
There are smart boards in all the
classrooms, as well as individual
iPads, Chrome Books, and laptops–
enough devices for 75 percent of the
students at a time. “As a learner,
you have to be able to discern what
devices will best get the information
you need,” Anthony said.
The recently concluded renovation
included moving the library and 100
teachers and parents packed every
book and moved them during break,
Anthony said. “There is a real sense
of community here,” Anthony said.

Mercy High School, Burlingame
The school joined forces with Our Lady of Angels Parish in Burlingame in reaching out to senior
adult parishioners. Fifteen students and their teachers from Mercy’s Service Learning Classes are
now helping at OLA’s monthly senior luncheons. “This joint collaboration has been in the planning
stages for nearly two years,” said Kelli Benz, an OLA parishioner, who helps coordinate the event
that serves 130 seniors. Kelli added special thanks to Mercy’s Angie Simonetti and Peter Diaz who
“have worked tirelessly to bring service learning opportunities into their curriculum.” Pictured are
Mercy senior Katherine Henderson and OLA “senior” John Escobosa.
